Ryobi 18V ONE+ Cordless Combi Drill and Review UK 2026

Key specifications

Build Quality and Design

With a combined kit approach, the Ryobi uses the drill for hole drilling and the included impact driver for fastening. This means the physical feel and control are influenced by which tool is in use at the time. The combi drill body is intended for controlled drilling across wood, metal, plastic and masonry, while the impact driver is for faster driving. At 1.3 kilograms, the drill remains reasonably balanced, although switching between tools can interrupt consistent grip habits. The kit layout supports organisation, but it also creates more components that need storing.

Battery System and Run Time

The kit's storage and handling choices from the previous section naturally lead into how the battery system affects day-to-day performance, since the drill and the included impact driver are powered by the same ONE+ ecosystem. For the cordless tool+ cordless combi drill, UK review packs include two 1.5Ah batteries, which helps reduce downtime during longer sessions. A 1.5Ah pack usually means shorter runtime when drilling continuously, but swapping packs keeps workflow steady. The balanced approach is helpful for mixed tasks, yet the capacity may feel limiting for extended, high-demand driving. Charging time is not stated.

Power and Torque

Power and torque are key selling points for this kit. The Ryobi pairs an 18V combi drill rated at 50Nm torque and 1800rpm no-load speed with an included cordless impact driver rated at 220Nm torque and 3200rpm no-load speed (maximum 3400ipm). The cordless tool One+ cordless combi drill is designed for drilling and screwdriving, with capability across wood, metal, plastic and masonry. The higher 220Nm impact driver torque makes it more suitable for demanding fastening and driving larger fixings, coach bolts and long screws, while the combi drill alone may feel limited for very heavy driving.

Speed and Versatility

Speed and versatility come from the kit's two tools working together. The Ryobi 5133004498 R18PD3RID-213S 18V combi drill runs up to 1800rpm no-load for drilling and screwdriving, while the included The Ryobi impact driver reaches 3200rpm no-load with a maximum 3400ipm impact rate for tougher fastening. The combi handles holes in wood, metal, plastic, and masonry, and it drives standard screws. For decking or long coach bolts, the impact driver's faster impact action suits heavy screws, though it is less precise for delicate screw starts.

Ergonomics and Weight

With a stated weight of 1.3 kg for the 18V combi drill, the cordless tool kit is designed to stay manageable during longer drilling or screwdriving sessions, particularly when paired with the included RID1801M impact driver for heavier fixings. The cordless drill's balance feels suited to everyday work, with weight changing depending on the battery choice. When drilling overhead, the front-loading effect is noticeable as the mass sits forward in the tool body. For comfort, alternating hands or using lighter pressure can help manage fatigue build-up, since vibration and fatigue develop gradually. Overall carry feel depends on how often batteries are swapped.

What's in the Kit

The kit's manageable feel, noted in the ergonomics and weight section (the combi drill is 1.3 kg), ties directly to what comes in the box. Tool count determines how often the user swaps batteries or changes tools. Inside the bundle, buyers get the Ryobi ONE+ cordless combi drill, plus a second tool, the cordless tool cordless impact driver. Two 1.5Ah ONE+ batteries are supplied, along with a charger. The drill is for wood, metal, plastic and masonry, while the impact driver is for larger fastening jobs.

Compatibility with Other Tools

Compatibility with other tools is a strong point of this cordless tool kit because it uses the Ryobi+ 18V platform, described as being compatible with over 100 other The Ryobi 5133004498 R18PD3RID-213S 18V+ tools for home and garden use. For the cordless tool one+ cordless combi drill, the included batteries and charger are part of that ecosystem, so the kit can be used across other ONE+ tools for drilling and screwdriving tasks. The kit also bundles an impact driver, allowing users to switch tasks by tool, provided the batteries remain within the ONE+ system. Compared with non-ONE+ brands, cross-compatibility is limited (versus not stated).

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and basic upkeep help this cordless tool combi drill and its included parts keep working smoothly, particularly after drilling into wood, metal, plastic, or masonry. After each session, unplug the charger, remove the battery pack(s), and brush away dust and chips from the chuck and vents. Wipe the drill body with a dry cloth, then use a soft brush to clear corners. If debris is stuck inside, use compressed air gently, then leave the tool to dry fully. Store the included "best price uk" bundle clean and dry to reduce the risk of corrosion.

Who Is This Tool For?

The Ryobi is designed for cordless drilling and screwdriving around the home and garden, with reduced upkeep between jobs. It suits DIYers and occasional contractors, combining an 18V ONE+ cordless combi drill with a separate ONE+ impact driver for tougher fastening. The combi drill is stated to handle wood, metal, plastic and masonry, with 50Nm torque at 1800rpm for general holes and screws. Two 1.5Ah batteries are included for UK households carrying out regular fixes. Heavy commercial use may require more runtime than specified.
