Best Budget Power Tool Kit

RYOBI 18V ONE+ 6-Tool Combo Kit (P1819)

Six cordless tools, two batteries, and a bag for $349 — the ONE+ platform's 300+ compatible tools make this the best entry point for budget-conscious DIYers. Backed by a 3-year warranty.

$299-$349
Pros
  • Six tools included: drill, impact driver, recip saw, circular saw, multi-tool, and work light
  • ONE+ platform compatible with 300+ Ryobi cordless products
  • Includes both 1.5Ah and 4Ah batteries for flexibility
  • 3-year manufacturer's warranty
  • Significantly lower price than DeWalt or Milwaukee equivalents
Cons
  • Best suited for light to medium-duty jobs — not for heavy construction
  • Brushed motors (not brushless) on most tools reduce efficiency vs. premium kits
  • Battery platform not compatible with Ryobi 40V outdoor tools
  • Customer service has been reported as difficult to reach by some users
Why we recommend it

For light-to-medium DIY work, Ryobi's ONE+ ecosystem is unbeatable value. You're not getting pro-grade power, but the sheer breadth of compatible tools means you'll never need to buy a second battery platform.

What the community says

Ryobi, Ridgid, or others may be a better fit for you. Buying DeWalt would be a 1 ton pickup for his freeway work commute. Get a Chevy Cruz and enjoy the 30MPG and extra $50k in your bank account.

What the experts said

The kit includes six popular power tools, two batteries, a charger, a bag, and several accessories—everything you need for a solid at-home workshop. Because the tools are all part of the brand's One+ platform, you can use the same batteries in all of them, as well as in other Ryobi One+ tools.

Our experts like the breadth of Ryobi's battery platform, which allows the same battery pack to be used across multiple tools, from jig saws to an inflator for tires and pool floats. The brand's 18V ONE+ line has more than 280 products in all.
