Screwfix have a kit with a Ryobi 18v (one+) combo drill and an impact
driver with two batteries, charger and bag for £100.
Seems good value but are the tools Ok?


It has a three hour charger, the only down side. But you can buy a fast
charger for not that much at £20. Even at £120 that is still a great deal.
Check if the batteries are suitable. It is 18v the same voltage as the
ONE+ range so the batteries should be OK.


The batteries say one+ on them.
The instruction book says one hour charge but the first charge did take
about 3 hrs.
I doubt if I need a fast charger, another battery would probably be better
value.

Anyway the charger is a BC-1815s which appears to be the standard one hour
charger (that takes one and a half hours anyway).
