  • I had some a while back, they weren’t very good. For that money I would get the dewalt brushless twin pack here https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dck2060s2t-sfgb-18v-1-5ah-li-ion-xr-brushless-cordless-twin-pack/5742x
    Batteries are a bit smaller, but can always upgrade them

  • If you are starting out with cordless tools,
    I would pay the extra for brushless versions.
    They will last longer and get better life/performance from a given battery capacity.

    I think, in the US, where Ryobi are only available through Home Depot,
    they have a better range of brushless tools.

    The only advantage of Ryobi One+ batteries is that they fit the older
    Blue Ryobi tools. Whilst based on brushed motors, some of them are
    very good. You can often pick these up for a song.

  • A friend of mine has all the Ryobi gear as he got hooked by the shared batteries. Very plasticky feeling tools and very much in the "trying to look like a transformer/laser" bracket.
