You can handle many early home projects without buying a workshop’s worth of equipment. Start with a RYOBI 18V ONE+ drill-driver, then add tools only when a job calls for them. If you are new to the battery platform, compare a drill-driver kit with the larger six-tool bundle; if you already own compatible ONE+ batteries and a charger, a tool-only option may be enough.
Start with a drill-driver
A drill-driver is the most versatile first power tool in this selection: use it to drill holes and drive screws for common jobs such as assembling furniture, mounting hardware, and making small repairs. RYOBI lists separate 18V ONE+ drill-driver configurations in its power-tool catalog, and the PCL206 drill-driver is also included in the PCL1600K2 six-tool kit.

Choose a kit if you need to join the battery platform and want a battery and charger included. If you already have compatible ONE+ batteries and a charger, check whether a tool-only listing better suits your needs. In either case, confirm the exact model and included components before ordering, since listings and availability can change.
When an impact driver is worth adding
An impact driver is a useful complement if you expect to drive many screws or tackle more demanding fastening jobs. It is not essential for every new homeowner’s first purchase. The PCL1600K2 bundle includes a PCL235 impact driver; RYOBI lists its maximum torque as up to 1,800 in-lb. That is a manufacturer specification for this model, not an independent performance comparison.

Add saws and a multi-tool for specific projects
A circular saw, reciprocating saw, and multi-tool are handy when your work calls for cutting or detail work, but their inclusion in a bundle does not mean you need them on day one. Buy them when you have a project that makes their use clear.

Check these details before buying
- Identify the exact model. Similar tool names can refer to different configurations. Match the model number in the listing to the tool you intend to buy.
- Check the battery and charger. Confirm whether the listing is tool-only or includes a battery and charger. For the PCL1600K2 listing, the stated contents include two batteries and a charger.
- Verify compatibility. If you already own ONE+ equipment, confirm that the battery and tool are compatible with the specific model you are considering.
- Compare what you will actually use. A drill-driver may be enough for initial repairs and assembly. Add an impact driver, saw, or multi-tool when the projects you plan to do justify it.
- Review regional terms. Check current availability, price, included accessories, and the warranty applicable to the exact product and region before purchase.
RYOBI’s catalog and bundle listings show tool configurations and prices, but those details can change. Treat the manufacturer’s specifications as product claims rather than evidence that one tool outperforms another.
