Ryobi's One+ Lithium Ion System has been a huge hit ever since Home Depot released the new product back in September. Yes, it is touted as Home Depot's store brand and yes, rumour has it that it is better for the homeowner versus the professional BUT - from the comments we are getting, the professional contractors are giving the Ryobi One+ Lithium Ion System the thumbs up as far as quality, durability and ...especially price.

What's so special about Ryobi's One+ Lithium Ion System. It's because it's just that, an entire tool system. Ryobi manufactured the lithium ion battery to be backwards compatible with all their other One+ power tools. The One+ system contains 35 power tools including: chainsaw, Circular saw, Jig Saw, Reciprocating saw, power drill, flashlight, pole pruner, buffer, polisher, blower, grinder, planer, sander, trimmer, a radio and more.

My DIY friend, Craig Holm over at Rocky Mountain Fire bought the Ryobi One+ 4-pc Lithium Power Took Kit from Home Depot for $259 and he was extremely satisfied while using it to remodel his kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

The only other manufacturer that has made their battery platform's backwards compatible is DeWalt, and DeWalt's tools cost 4 times as much. I say three cheers for Ryobi.
