Ryobi 18V One+ RRTS18

Pretty Handy – There are a few different models of rotary tool available from Ryobi, from USB to 12V to 18V to 240V. This is the 18 Volt version and it is pretty handy. I needed a smaller tool to access a delicate cutting job and this gave me the excuse to purchase a new tool, I was immediately impressed. It is detailed and accurate for cutting / grinding small areas and is more than powerful enough for getting through this sort of work. It's not grinder powerful, but it's also not grinder sized.

I was able to stall it a couple of times but I was really giving it a hard time. To change out the tip, a spanner needs to be locked onto the chuck and then rotate a locking ring and this is a bit fiddly - I guess this comes with having a smaller tool. At high RPM (35,000) it makes quite a racket and does a fair amount of cutting, but it can be dialled right down to 2,500 RPM for more delicate work.

Overall, very useful for detailed work.
