[Home Depot] Ryobi 18V Drill + Impact Driver - $88 Starting Apr 12

Seems a great deal. I'm not certain but it might be the lowest price ever. You get a drill, impact driver, 2 batteries, and a carrying case. Note the price goes live on April 12

I have the drill and another set of M12 drill/driver, but may get this for a backup set.

I have the M12 impact 1000 in/lbs. Great for interior stuff. This has a supposed 1600 in/lbs... worth it for more outside summer work? Already have the brad nailer and HC battery.

$88 is a great deal for a 18V drill+driver kit.
I'd buy this if I didn't already own a kit already.

Damn, I bought the Rigid Deal a while ago... hopefully the Rigid one is better quality. Came with two extra, larger capacity batteries too.

Have the older version of this pack (one battery no bag). Anyone know what is improved with the newer versions?

I have these two drills, another drill with multi-tool pack, and a impact wrench. Love them all and have had no issue with them. It's even sweeter that I probably only spent a total of $125 as I bought them all on sales like these. Only issue is that my contractor friends have no respect for them.

Rigid pretty much has lifetime warranty, or so I heard.

The Ridgid set is $115 including tax in Ontario, after returning the extra batteries. So $16 more in total, compared to the Ryobi. The Ridgid is worth the extra 16 bucks. I bought a set myself. Better in every respect, and with a lifetime warranty. The Ryobi is 3 years. Ridgid deal expires today.

Have the Ryobi drill. Fine for around the house DIY stuff.

Looking for opinions on the impact drill for use of removing lug nuts for swapping summer/winter tires.

Ridgid is no good for me since no near a Home Depot today but driving past one on the weekend so could get the Ryobi.

It probably won't be able to remove your lugs unless you pre-loosen them. That's what I do, then use the drill to remove the lugs, put them back on, then use torque wrench to tighten.

Would this be a good deal for someone who rarely uses it once every 1-2 years? I am thinking of getting this to go with the Ryobi tire inflator.

Would the batteries die if they are not used?

Wrong tool for lug nuts. Need an impact WRENCH for that.

You could loosen the lug with a breaker bar (~$15) and then use the impact to unscrew the lug just to save a bit of time, but the impact DRIVER won't break the lugs loose.

I have this set and it is capable of loosing my lugs which are torqued to 100ftlb. If they are any tighter you probably will need to preloosen them. Just my $0.02

Generally new models will be a bit more powerful, like someone said here this has 1600 in/lbs driving so your model is probably a bit less unless you technically have the same model number drill but who knows maybe its just an extra battery? Are you using them for home use or contracting? Your contractor friends probably have tools with better quality parts so theirs will probably last longer for their uses, I would never use these on a job site where I am trying to make money but around the house? Hell for $88, if your gonna do some drilling and driving a deck or something, these are plenty good enough.

I currently have a lightweight 20V B&D drill that is surprisingly good enough for stuff around the home, but I would like an impact driver for the wood shop I'm building out. The good thing about the B&D was that it shares batteries with my blower and trimmer.

Is this kit worth it? I was thinking I would splurge on a good brushless impact driver or drill/driver set when a good deal comes up. With proprietary battery systems, I'm trying to make conscious decisions on which brands I buy...
Tons of things for sale!

Like the others said, impact driver is the wrong tool for this. The torque spec for lug nuts on a regular passenger car is right around the maximum torque rating on the driver, and less after you add on the necessary adapters.

I have tried this exact tool on 80ftlb lug nuts with a hex to 1/2" adapter, and you have to leave it to hammer more than 15-20s to break those loose. I can get it off by hand in half that time. It also wobbles more with the adapter so it could scratch your rims if you care about that.

In my opinion, this is definitely worth it for any non-pro that isn't already deeply invested in a different line of products. Ryobi has tons of other very nice tools that go on sale often.
