Ryobi vs Kobalt [Hammer Drill] Limits tested

[@jeremyd4446]

I just bought the Kobalt 5 piece xtr kit at Lowe's for $ 349. That's a great price for anyone who is interested. Only used it a little,but I like it. Seems to have good power.

[@livefreeandtoolon]

Absolutely, I also grabbed the same kit, but mine was 5$$.... great deal for top of the line performance!

[@tomvancil8213]

I purchased the Ryobi kit with the impact driver and for $229 with what they give you I am a happy camper. Looking forward to diving deeper into their vast array of other tools that all use the same batteries. Next up for me is their inflator.

Thanks for the comment, it’s a great line of tools!

Are you psyched for the new Ryobi wall that’s coming out I think it’s called links?

[@livefreeandtoolon]

I will have to see it and check it out, it’s a storage system to compete with Milwaukee and others. The concept is interesting

[@theavgjoe5485]

@@livefreeandtoolon Yeah I just bought a bunch of wood to make a cleat wall but I’m kind of interested so I might hold off on building that I could always use the wood for something else

[@taylorshin]

I was comparing between exactly those two. But I went to Ryobi since my lawn mower is also Ryobi, although a bit older model but it came with x2 of 4Ah 18V One+ (not HP) batteries. I also have a couple more Ryobi outdoor tools as well. So, sticking to the platform seem to be better idea. I am surely missing out the extreme performance from XTR. But I'm quite sure that this Ryobi hammer drill can do anything I need. And the Ryobi kit also brings in an impact driver.

For most of us , the homeowner grade tools are just fine and will last many years. I have a wall full of kobalt tools and I am extremely satisfied with their value and performance. I arrived at this point due to the high cost of replacing dead Dewalt batteries. I can buy almost three Kobalt batteries for the price of just one Dewalt battery for my old ...now useless...Dewalt tools. Also , the XTR Kobalt tools are their upper line and unless the Ryobi tool was similarly placed, that means that it did very well indeed.

Kobalt has a 3 pc kit for 249 which comes with an ultimate output and 2.0 battery and the 900 lumens LED work light. 224 when it was on sale.

[@MordechaiShoshani]

Great video but information about which one is going to last longer down the road would be helpful. Thanks!

[@Drinkyoghurt]

Honestly, seeing how the Ryobi is only 18V compared to the 24V Kobalt I'm impressed, they're very close. 6V is not a small difference.

[@james2042]

I'll let you in on a little secret. There's only 1 extra cell in the kobalt battery. When you step up to a 2p battery that difference is largely gone. Especially with what milwaukee pulls off with m18

[@rickmartin6817]

I love Ryobi. For the money, I don't think any brands compare. Of course, Milwaukee is the best, but if you can't afford that, go Ryobi.

Good Review ! And a Good Comparison ! Regards Paul Roger Nilsson
