Question of the day: What are the most important features you're looking for in a drill or impact? Would you prefer to buy accessories in a kit with a carrying case or buy them individually?
Finally someone made a video with this kit. I already have it but before I did I searched TH-cam for awhile to see a review on this kit and there was to see was the minute long intro videos so thanks for sharing. I love this kit especially the drill for small screws and pre drilling
Thanks for sharing! I'm more likely to buy a kit vs individual bits because the kits keep them organized and I'm able to find them faster when I need them.
Thank you so much, there were little things that I couldn't figure out since I have not purchased a new drill in a long time and I just purchased this.
Great video Mark! My impact to change my mower blades is a RYOBI that i've had for probably 10 years. Only had to buy a new battery for it. Keep up the great videos! I like the kit combo's because i do feel like you get a little more "bang for your buck." But, I have done both.
Thanks, Dylan! Good to hear from you, hope you're doing well! I tested out a Ryobi impact wrench a little while ago and it had plenty of power for my Scag blades which sometimes get very tight. I'm glad to hear they're working out for you!
Thanks for the video. I just bought both in a combo deal 2 18v Batts and charger for wait for it......lol 99.00 bucks ! At home depot. They might not be as high of quality as porter cable, Milwaukee and Dewalt but for the money and for someone who,s just using um moderately I'd say pretty damn good 👍
i got this newer set and i had the older version. the last set lasted 3 years being used for hvac and some auto stuff and having oil and abuse. sometimes you dont have to spend a ton.
I agree. I hired a crew a few years ago to install an new roof on my house and they have all Ryobi tools. They're happy with them. Now, Ryobi has their HP versions.👍
@@MarkThomasBuilder i appreciate the honesty i had bought a new Milwaukee set not too long ago and the thing that made me return it was the battery's were so loose on the brushless models that i had the impression if dropped something would break.
i also like using the spade bits on the impacts works surprsingly well, i was too lazy to put the drill battery on the charger so just stuck it in the impact to see if it would work alright.
Wish I could be near a home depot but there's none in my country. I envy you guys to get to go there. I order online but it would be so cool to be able to go there
I own the same 31 pc drilling and driving kit the spade bits stink for the homeowner this drill & impact driver will be good for you and you can upgrade the batteries to the 3.0 hp batteries they have a battery indicator
How can you put the drill bits (to drill holes) into the impact driver, the driver came with them, so I assume they fit- but I cannot figure out how to get them in
If you want to use drill bits in the impact driver, they have to be a hex end drill bit. (You can't use regular round end drill bits)If you have hex end bits, you sometimes have to pull the collar out on the impact part and slide the hex end in. You pull on the collar to take them out too. Newer impact feature where you can just push the hex part in without messing with the impact collar. Does that help?
The 4Ah battery gives it more power. Home Depot is having a sale for fathers day, buy the two battery pack and get one free tool. The options for the free tool are great. Best part only for $100.
Hi thanks for sharing..my Ryobi drill driver doesn't hold the size #3 drill bit (getting loose during pre-drilling), so I have to drive the screws to my vege bed's timber without pre-drill. Any suggestions please?
My quick solution is to pick up some hex shank drill bits. I own a few drill bit sets and hex shank comes in handy at times, especially when you only have an impact handy.
Hi Mark! Had a question I was hoping you could help with. I have the ryobi drill driver combo and the bit kit you're using in this video. I'm making my first woodworking project; a picture ledge of pine wood. Every time I go to put in a #8 2 in wood screw to connect two 1*3s perpendicularly,, the 1/8 bit first gets really hot, and I'm never able to drive the screws in all of the way. They always stop once the threaded part is in the wood but not the unthreaded top part. I've cammed out several screws on a test piece trying to sort this out, and have adjusted my clutch and trigger pressure as much as I can, as well as the size of my bit both up and down, but I feel like it shouldn't require this much fuss, especially on a soft wood like pine. Any advice?
My first thought is that the wood screw might be something your could switch out, but it sounds like you've tried that. If you're joining wood like that often, you might want to consider the Kreg K4 Pocket Hole Jig, which I recently did a review on. I also like my Milwaukee 3pk Countersink Bit set for projects you're doing.
So I've tried shorter screws with a slightly better outcome. I guess my real worry is that when I go to install the shelf into studs in my wall, I don't want this situation to happen. Would it be better to create pilot holes in the piece and the stud and then hand screw the screws into place when I'm putting it on the wall? Thanks for your time and help!!
I have been using the drill for awhile and the chuck is hard to get tight enough. I have resorted to using channel locks instead of hand tightening. The rubber grip on the chuck is just too slick. I used gloves for awhile but that was too much. I have 19 different 18v Ryobi tools and I have gotten to hate this one.
I haven't had that issue on this one. I did have an older drill by another company that was challenging to get tight. It doesn't sound like it will last very long by taking channel locks to it every time. Is it under warranty?
@@MarkThomasBuilder Yes you are right. The rubber just does not have much grip and I have too. Also the chuck jaws just don't seem to have much grip. Too bad I really like Ryobi tools. I almost wish I could use a chuck key on it. I might try making something like a real wide nut cracker with wide jaws a little smaller than the dia. of the chuck to hold it with and roughing up the chuck jaws. I hate to buy another brand and have to deal with 2 battery systems.
Question of the day: What are the most important features you're looking for in a drill or impact? Would you prefer to buy accessories in a kit with a carrying case or buy them individually?
My preference is a kit with carrying case!

Wow not a bad kit for the price looks like there both have adequate power for the job in task thanks for that great review and testing
Thank you! They definitely have plenty of power for home improvements.
Thanks, I just gave to myself these for Christmas, and now I know how to use them best. Good video!
Glad I could help! Enjoy.
Thank you for your excellent presentation and explanations for a newbie like me.
You bet, thanks!
Loved your review on the 18 VOLT IMPACT DRIVER... TY...
You bet, thanks!
Great review man
Thanks, I appreciate it!

I was totally wondering if you could run the spade bit in the impact driver HAHAHA Awesome!
Haha, glad I could help answer your question. I prefer a drill with a spade bit, but an impact works just fine.
Thanks for the video. I just bought both in a combo deal 2 18v Batts and charger for wait for it......lol 99.00 bucks ! At home depot. They might not be as high of quality as porter cable, Milwaukee and Dewalt but for the money and for someone who,s just using um moderately I'd say pretty damn good 👍
Yeah, that's a good deal and will still tackle you projects like the other brands.
Is the brushless kit
i got this newer set and i had the older version. the last set lasted 3 years being used for hvac and some auto stuff and having oil and abuse. sometimes you dont have to spend a ton.

Amazing the men explained good
I try😀
Good video. 👍
Thanks for the visit
Thank you for this great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i also like using the spade bits on the impacts works surprsingly well, i was too lazy to put the drill battery on the charger so just stuck it in the impact to see if it would work alright.
Either a impact or drill driver works well for running a spade bit. I'd say it's personal preference.
Wish I could be near a home depot but there's none in my country. I envy you guys to get to go there. I order online but it would be so cool to be able to go there
It's a very handy place to shop.
Loved It!
Awesome, thank you!
Do you have to use the ryobi drill bits
No, you can use any impact or drill bit.
I own the same 31 pc drilling and driving kit the spade bits stink for the homeowner this drill & impact driver will be good for you and you can upgrade the batteries to the 3.0 hp batteries they have a battery indicator
I've only used the spade bits for a couple projects. They're not the top of the line, but they came through for me.
How can you put the drill bits (to drill holes) into the impact driver, the driver came with them, so I assume they fit- but I cannot figure out how to get them in

Yeah, pilot holes may solve your problem. I never realized how much I would use the countersink bit set until I bought them.

Throw it away I’ll give u 229.99 and get the ryobi hp one + hammer drill and impact driver
I like that offer. The new HP models sound like an amazing upgrade.
