You got a more powerful hammer drill (600lbs of torque vs the 400lbs of the one in the "deal") However its brushed not brushless.tonyno wrote: ↑ Hello
I picked up my order from Home Depot and on the bag it says I got a free upgrade. It seems that they were out of the kit and in the bag I found the following:I am getting into the Ryobi system and don't know if I got a good value for this instead of the Posted deal.
- RYOBI 18V ONE+ Cordless 1/2-inch Hammer Drill/Driver with Handle, Model # P214
- RYOBI 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion 2.0 Ah Compact Battery and Charger Starter Kit, Model # PSK005
I would appreciate any thoughts about value, performance, use case of the free upgrade instead of the posted Deal.
Thank you

Nah they are all "max 20V"--all the 18V batteries. Some companies tend to use the "20V" marketing and some stick with saying 18V, Ryobi actually does both. For ONE+ they say it's 18V, but for their "40V" line they say, well, 40V. But really it's 36V (basically double the cells as an 18V battery, put in series). All just marketing. It's about nominal voltage v. peak/float voltage. If you simply measure any of these tool batteries, fully charged and in resting state will be close to 20V.blueangel2323 wrote: ↑ Most of DeWalt's kits come with only 1.3Ah batteries. But I think that's because DeWalt uses the max voltage (20V) instead of the nominal 18V that other companies use, and 1.3Ah at 20V which works out to be the same total capacity as 1.5Ah at 18V?
Indeed. Reminds me I have to sell some of my 4Ah batteries. Have too many of them that are just going to sit around.blueangel2323 wrote: ↑ The $149 clearance deal on the Ridgid kit this summer was so amazing though, and makes good deals like this look like not-so-good deals. That worked out to be under $75 per tool, both of which were both way more powerful than these ones, and each with a big 4Ah battery instead of tiny 1.5Ah ones. Heck, the regular price of the two batteries alone is $148, making the tools virtually free.

I don't think this is a price error. Ottawa store has more drills and drivers in stock for $79 (was out of stock last week).

Which Milwaukee are you comparing with? I looked at their M18 Fuel spec, it blows away of any of these. How does compare with M12 Fuel?

You'd probably want an impact wrench if possible for changing tires. Check out this thread for the Ryobi impact wrench deal: home-depot-ryobi-p261-impact-wrench-65- ... 5-2509148/
