RYOBIR18SDS-0 ONE+ SDS Plus Cordless Rotary Hammer Drill (Body Only) - Hyper Green & RC18150 18V ONE+ Cordless 5.0A Battery Charger

Bought this over 2 years ago, it cuts thru masonry nice and fast with minimum efforts, its a good weight and felt like it could take on quite a lot, however i managed to burn out the motor 2 weeks ago pushing it to drill thru sleepers with brad auger bits, i know this isnt what its designed for but it was the biggest drill available.bad points: it doesnt stand up, meaning when you put it down the body is always leaning against the bit you have i the chock, i've known this from day one and I still try and stand it up like all the other drills.the motor gets hot and its right under you hand - it'd be great if this drill had the option of a side handle and/or depth stop gauge as some rival units do.that said, it is about 50-100 less than rivals and even though i blew the last one up, i'll still get a 2nd one, i just won't try and push it thru sleepers next time :)

I purchased this product from another supplier initially being a Ryobi fan and having numerous one plus tools, the one bought had a defect that the reverse and forward button was jammed. I returned the item and decided to go with Amazon. What a good choice. I received the item and started to remove tiles off of a wall, the motor started smoking and the battery died instantly. I contacted Ryobi having registered the item, I got the impression that they could not be bothered. I contacted Amazon who sent out a replacement and the customer service was second to none. I would avoid this item but the only saving grace was Amazon.

I have quite an array of Ryobi tools which I have bought over the last five years renovating a house. Brilliant value and quality and this is no exception.Bought because I wanted the convenience of a cordless drill able to easily make holes in walls for plugs and able to use the existing pile of batteries I already have.Build quality is superb and easily as good as my Makita tools. It has a weighty heft to it and all the controls work smoothly. The SDS chuck is able to be used one handed. At least until I do something that fills it with dust and grit I guess.It is yet another top class Ryobi product. But not five stars. And that's for one small niggle that really gets on my pip. It won't stand up. All of the other Ryobi tools I have will sit on the battery base nicely - which the battery is designed for with small rubber feet. On this rotary hammer drill though the weight forward design means that when you try to stand it on the battery base it falls over. This may not seem like a big deal, but if you are perched somewhere and you have a plank of wood close by you tend to stand the drill up on the base for easy return use. This drill falls over though so you have to be quite careful how you place it if you are used to other Ryobi cordless drills.It is a small irritation in fairness because overall this is a very, very good tool.

Great product from ryobi again!!Ive got a large supply of ryobi products and this is a great hammer/chisel drill.It SDS feature helps with ease of changing drill bits/chisels.One word of warning is that when chiselling, the power use is huge and a 4ah battery lasts 45-60mins. So id recommend a second battery whilst the other is quick charging, so as not to interrupt work.For really heavy duty work it may run through batteries even quicker.For the average DIYer though it is brilliant piece of kit that works well and lasts.

Works really well with the £15 chisel/drill bit set I also bought from Amazon. Surprisingly powerful for a battery operated product. Bought this to help me with my kitchen install and it didn't disappoint. Goes through brickwork very easily (much better than the hammer drill). Needs the larger battery to be of any use in terms of the amount of time you can use it but worth it nonetheless. One thing: you can't put it down on the battery as you can with the other Ryobi kit - it just falls over!

I have a KW+ SDS drill - weighs a tonne and goes through anything. This makes a real fist out of keeping up and I use this MUCH more often. I have normal hammer drills too, never even think of them now, this does a much quicker, cleaner job. Why the heck did I wait so long before getting ANY SDS drill and why for this one. This WORKS (unlike Ryobi's One+ Circular saw which just gives up on almost anything). Yes, it falls on it's nose - live with it, I always set mine down on it's side anyway.

Very pleased with this, it has much more power than my Bosch hammer drill and is much lighter/ easier to use than my heavy AC power SDS and the bonus is NO CORD.Tried it on some large Granite stones vs the Bosch hammer and the AC SDS chisel.10mm Tungsten masonary bit and 80mm depth holeBosch Hammer 50 secs but drill bit came lose in the chuckAC powered SDS 12 sec but very noisy and heavyRyobi SDS 15 secs quite quiet, will be great when i need to work off a ladder. Been running it on a 4ah non Ryobi battery from an Ebay seller in Germany, they are a 1/4 of the ryobi price with 5yr gtee and seem to perfrom just as well, so even if they last half as long i am still in pocket

Another addition to my one + easy fit sds system drill is comfortable to hold no heavy pressing needed as sds does its job well bought a set of drill-all bits will drill through anything, just had to buy an sds to hex adapter.Saves me having to get the large heavy bosch elec sds out, save that for bigger jobs.One small gripe it's chuck end heavy so it won't stand up on its own,as most ryobi tools do.
