As to the brand wars that haven't been brought up here but you'll eventually run into, they all have good tools and they all have duds. Do some research on your most niche needs, pick an ecosystem, and find the deals for the good products in that ecosystem.
Ryobi battery tools are incredibly popular with home owners and even weekend DIY warriors, but not so much in the professional businesses. That's not because Ryobi tools are bad and others are good, it's more because competitors often have a stronger pro line of tools (with the higher prices to go with them). Arguably, Harbor Freight tools are the best value on average. That said, I've chosen to not make that choice for myself.
It's kinda like a consumer vs professional lawnmower - that $1,500 push mower is probably better than your $250 push mower, but do you really care? Some people absolutely do, and that's fine! But most do not. I like my $150 mower because I don't feel bad mulching up sticks. But then there's the $1,500 computer monitor I'm about to buy a pair of. That's ridiculous for most people, but not for me.
I only offer this perspective because this deal is mostly for new homeowners who may not know this. I'm sure somebody will disagree with me, and their perspective will be absolutely valid! I just remember when I first bought tools as a new homeowner, I went through phases, and maybe this can help somebody skip the first four of my phases:
1. Buy random cheap things
2. But more random cheap things
3. Realize I could've gotten all of those and more in a lot like this, but in the same ecosystem for cheaper
4. Do research and learn if the brand/color wars with tools and be confused
5. Buy lots of tools, own a few houses, fix lots of things, then realize I should choose any of the ecosystems and it doesn't really matter unless I have niche needs. They all have good drills, circular saws, cheap crappy miter saws and much better miter saws, and so much more.
Doing it all over again, it would've been a big win if I started with this set. Or the equivalent DeWalt set. Just don't get random set from a random company that doesn't actually have an ecosystem. Or rather, that doesn't continue to support its ecosystem over the long haul. The last thing you want is for your tools to outlive your batteries. Ask my Black & Decker and Craftsman battery tools. Those aren't ecosystems. They're money grabs with branding for unsupported e-waste.
-I have used every tool more than i thought i would, even the flash light that some might consider gimmicky
- i have never felt i lack power or reliability or whatever it is brushless is supposed to do, ie please dont feel obliged to pay more for brushless versions
- the circular saw gets particularly bad reviews but i never had a problem with it. It cuts a 2x4 and that's pretty much all i'll ever need
Community Reviews
This Ryobi ONE plus 18 volt six tool kit stands out as a strong starter set for new homeowners and basic DIY, especially because it bundles two batteries and a charger with the core tools. The flashlight gets repeated praise as surprisingly useful, and the drill, saws, and reciprocating saw are described as reliable for everyday home tasks. Long term ownership reports no major issues, with the kit holding up well over years of use. The main limitation is the 5 and a half inch circular saw, which has limited cut depth and is better suited to lighter work. A solid ecosystem starter if you do not need pro level power.
Common Questions (5)
The kit has commonly been seen around $200-$300, with a brief jump to $350 earlier this year. Past purchases mentioned include about $150 with extra battery/charger and about $200 for the exact set, so $180 is in a favorable range.
Yes. It's a strong starter kit for a new homeowner or weekend DIY use, with enough tools to cover common household tasks and a consistent ONE+ battery ecosystem. It's less suited to heavy professional use or niche carpentry work.
The tools are reported to have enough power and reliability for typical homeowner jobs, including the drill, saws, and even the LED light. The circular saw can handle a 2x4, but the 5-1/2" blade limits cut depth for larger lumber.
Yes. The flashlight is repeatedly described as one of the most useful tools in the kit and may get more use than the other tools combined. It's a practical bonus for general home projects and finding your way in dark spaces.
Yes. The kit was reported as eligible for free same-day delivery, with delivery promised by 8pm after ordering. That makes it a convenient option if you need the tools quickly.

Edit: Never mind. Apparently this was only a one day deal (yesterday)
