This Ryobi ONE plus HP compact drill kit stands out for frequent light to medium use, with brushless power, a 1 half inch chuck, and noticeably more punch than brushed compact drills. The 2.0 amp hour HP battery and included charger make it a ready to use kit, and the three year replacement warranty helps offset battery concerns. The main drawbacks are its larger footprint and heavier feel than expected, and the listing appears to promise a tool bag that may be missing from the box. It is a solid compact option if you want brushless convenience without stepping up to a full size kit.
people who plan to use the drill often because they want the convenience of brushless (commenters said brushed is heavy and awkward, so brushless compact is easier to reach for repeatedly).
shoppers who don't mind checking the listing contents because at least one buyer reported the website promised a tool bag but it was missing, and they were able to get a $10 refund to account for it.
people who are okay with compact weight tradeoffs for higher performance because commenters described the brushless HP drill as "night and day better" with much higher power/RPMs.
buyers who already have Ryobi ONE+ chargers and just need the kit because one commenter said they have many chargers from combo deals and would prefer tool-only since tool-only is more expensive, implying this bundle helps them avoid buying another charger.
people buying specifically for light-duty, quick jobs because one commenter said their HP unit ended up heavier with a larger footprint than their older brushed drill, and for light duty they preferred the smaller brushed for convenience.
buyers who are trying to maximize value within the Ryobi ONE+ HP lineup because one commenter returned a different Ryobi combo after finding a separate deal on a 1/2" brushless HP impact wrench with 4Ah batteries that they felt was a better value.
buyers who need the kit to match the product page exactly because commenters reported the listing said it included a tool bag but the bag was missing from the box (requiring a refund workaround).
The deal may be less attractive than other Ryobi combo options because a separate 1/2 inch brushless HP impact wrench bundle was described as a better value.
The brushless compact model is better suited for frequent use because it is more convenient than a brushed drill. It is also described as having about 3x the power and RPMs, though the compact HP unit can be heavier and larger than an older brushed drill.
The product page says the kit includes a tool bag, but the box may not contain one. A customer service chat reportedly refunded $10 for the missing bag, and an off-brand replacement bag can be bought for about $10.
A full-size Ryobi kit can offer more power and only slightly more weight, and a previous sale put a full-size drill-and-impact kit at $99 with two 2Ah batteries. The compact kit is mainly lighter, not dramatically better than brushed models.
The kit has a 3-year replacement warranty, so a battery problem can be covered with a free replacement. If the battery lasts three years, it likely avoids the issue entirely.
...I had actually bought that combo set but am returning it because they had their 1/2" brushless HP impact wrench with 2 4 AH HP batteries on sale for 170$ over the weekend, and that was just such a better deal.
For light home tasks. Should I commit to the Ryobi ecosystem or hold out for a good deal on the M12 Fuel? Ryobi seems to be more affordable but how does it compare to Milwaukee in terms of quality, reliability etc?

Wonder the same if this is lowest or should wait for a better deal (like a hackable one that pops up time to time)? I'm already knee deep in the Ryobi ecosystem and looking for a drill to replace my OLD DeWalt that I got some generic replacement batteries off Amazon that heats up easily when left in charge. It makes more sense to just get something like this then pay $$$ to get DeWalt batteries. But I'm in no hurry and don't mind waiting for a better deal.
This deal just got better! Mine is now $59 after $10 refund customer service chat offered for the website listing a toolbag that was not in the box.
Shared the screen grab from their website showing the contents listing a tool bag and after a little (nice) back and forth, they offered $10 refund to account for the missing Ryobi bag promised on their site.
Looked online and I can easily get a $10 off brand toolbag.

You can also wait for full size kit to get on sale again. Few months ago gen 1 drill and impact were at $99 with 2x2ah batteries. The full size has way more power and only slightly heavier than compact. Compact is not much better than brushed, it's just much lighter.

I'd buy tool only but it's more expensive.
