it is though. this pair actually outperforms my older M18 Milwaukee. the only downside I discovered is the start time is a bit delayed compared to Milwaukee, not sure why. but in terms of power and features they are nicer. certain other HP series tools are also on part with dewalt and Milwaukee. not Hilti level for sure, but definitely in the same leagues as what typical residential contractors use in north america.
I noticed the start issue too. I've had mine for about 3m now and they perform very well, but do have that slight delay.elfion wrote: ↑ it is though. this pair actually outperforms my older M18 Milwaukee. the only downside I discovered is the start time is a bit delayed compared to Milwaukee, not sure why. but in terms of power and features they are nicer. certain other HP series tools are also on part with dewalt and Milwaukee. not Hilti level for sure, but definitely in the same leagues as what typical residential contractors use in north america.
I see 0 in stock in store, but can order and ship for free.Tuppin wrote: ↑ Still some of these $79 hammer drill kits floating around. My local store showed 7 in stock but they couldn't find any. Went back another day and they were able to find them right away. Note, these brushless drills don't have the extra "HP" contacts that are used with the HP batteries. This seems rather strange but the extra contacts only give a bit better battery life and performance. It seems odd that they make the exact same drill in a version with the contacts and without and both look exactly alike and have the HP label. I don't have any of those batteries in any case.
May be the 2 tools set has a better charger?
Everything is the same except 2 different packages and the additional charger.
I see. Anyway I think most people have at least one of the 2 tools already. It is hard to sell on Kijiji these days. I would rather just buy what I think I need. I probably can't even sell my old drill for $15 bare tool in Kijiji.apvij91 wrote: ↑ Everything is the same except 2 different packages and the additional charger.
Drill Driver Kit- $149 + tax (2 tools, 2 batteries and 1 Charger)
Dill+Driver = 79+79 = $158 + tax (1+1 Tools, 1+1 Batteries and 1+1 charger)
The difference is $9, I don't think you could get a Ryobi charger for $9.
Actually you probably could get one of these "topper" slow chargers for somewhere around there on kijiji, etc. Not like it's a P117 you're getting here.apvij91 wrote: ↑ Everything is the same except 2 different packages and the additional charger.

There are essentially two grades of current charger for 18V Ryobi ONE+ batteries. The first is the one that's included in all the kits; it's small, uses a power brick, and is slower.
Sold charger + 2*1.5Ah batteries on Facebook in early Jan easily.theflyingsquirrel wrote: ↑ I see. Anyway I think most people have at least one of the 2 tools already.

I found FB marketplace is hard to sell these days. Used to get lots of views for the listing but now get only a few. Did you notice any difference? Any trick to sell in FB?
Yes. I was thinking the kit may have the bigger charger. I don't like the small ones. I usually sell off the small chargers whenever I get it.Kushana wrote: ↑ There are essentially two grades of current charger for 18V Ryobi ONE+ batteries.

The second is the P117, which is larger, faster, Intelliport(?), and without a power brick. Ryobi may be phasing these out; almost all the chargers available as kits are the small kind, even with large batteries, and who cares if it charges NiCd batteries these days? OTOH, the P117 is available as a kit with an HP 4.0AH battery and is still listed on the ryobitools.ca site.
The P135 is also a fast Intelliport charger.
