Ryobi power tools deliver superior performance and dependability so you can get any job done. From their interchangeable Ryobi 18v battery family to their bench tops units; these tools will stand up to the toughest tasks.
If you are a fan of cordless tools, you will likely already have a collection of them, either big or small. One of the most noticeable issues with cordless tools is battery management. It can be a juggling and time-consuming act to ensure all your batteries are charged for each particular tool before you embark on your latest project or head out to the worksite. And then, of course, you have to find the right charger for the right battery, and set them up in a pseudo-production recharging line… So what is the answer to getting around these issues?
Ryobi appears to have come up with one solution that attempts to resolve these issues and make life easier for the cordless tool fanatic and one that also seems cost effective. Ryobi have incorporated the latest Lithium Ion technology into the batteries and it offers greatly improved performance to the standard Ryobi 18v battery. Benefits include:
20% lighter
X2 runtime
Holds charge x4 longer - reduces need to recharge battery after long periods of in activity
On board fuel gauge showing battery power levels
Interchangeable with all Ryobi 18v battery tools
The Ryobi 18v batteries form the basis of the One+ system. Each tool in the range uses this same battery. The batteries themselves have NiCad cells rated at 1.7Ah, which offers reasonable sustainability for cordless tasks. The cells themselves are of similar high quality to those that Ryobi have used in their Pro Series line of Cordless tools, which have proven to give good performance.
Essentially, the One+ system is a series of tools that all run off the same specified battery. The idea is that you can use the same battery for each and every One+ cordless tool, saving you having to mess around with different batteries and chargers, or carrying extra weight around with an array of batteries for various cordless tools. Plus, each new tool you buy does not come with its own charger and battery, and therefore, the tools can be offered at a much cheaper price. Because there is only one battery type used, there is only one charger, greatly simplifying the battery charge/use cycle. You can also purchase additional extra batteries at affordable prices too if you require extras or spares.
Whether it is the standard Ryobi 18v Battery or the Ryobi 18v Battery one+, the range has a product for everyone and every situation.
