Ryobi was founded in 1943 but did not start producing tools until 1968. Their target audience is those that perform home DIYs, tool enthusiasts, and handymen. Most professionals do not use the brand as their productivity has a lot of room for improvement.

They, however, offer pretty decent quality tools at a low price hence value for your money. This is why they have been able to stay relevant. Many people are skeptical as to whether the tools live up to standard quality hence the idea for this article. Below is a detailed summary of the Ryobi one plus answering the question of whether they are worth your coins.

Pros of the Ryobi one plus
  • Very affordable per the market standards
  • Easy to maneuver for beginners
  • Have a detachable battery which can fit on any tool from the one plus family
  • Has a three-year warranty and 30-day satisfaction guarantee
Cons of Ryobi one plus
  • Has a low productivity rate and slow speeds on most of their tools
  • Bulky handles poor ergonomics, so it can get uncomfortable if you use them for long periods.
  • Has low torque power

The light from the one plus collection came with a 30% brightness ability with is an excellent improvement from previous models. The designers went all out as you can either sit it on a bench or hang it on a wall and still get a lit space. Also, it has a swivel that you can play with to position your light where you deem comfortable.

It comes with a detachable lens to allow you easy changing of the bulbs. Besides that, the battery discharges very quick for professionals on-site but is enough for an average handyman. It is also not as lightweight as many competing devices.

If you are working on a hard to reach the place, this angle drill will do you justice. It comes in a compact design, and it quite lightweight. The 180 degrees’ swivel base feature has been removed on this model hence making it hard to use the right angle drill in tricky places.

It comes with a longneck design that makes it ideal for plumbing jobs and setting up HVAC systems. To avoid accidents for those who use both hands, it has a fitted metal tray to hold screws and nails or whatever you are working with. The drill, however, doesn’t come with batteries or a charger making it expensive to maintain.

Make sure you use the necessary protective gear to prevent accidents and this hedge trimmer will serve you well.
