I went to Home Depot to buy a dremel-style rotary tool. They had a kit listed online as P460SB which includes a 2Ah battery. I don't own any Ryobi 18V tools so I needed to get one with a battery. In a couple attempts looking on the Home Depot website on my phone it gave conflicting information about whether any stores had this in stock or not. This kit includes a 2Ah battery and charger, and apparently some reviewers think the motor-in-the-base style is preferred to the motor-in-the-pen style (the latter would be the PRT100B). I had to search behind some other Ryobi boxes and it did not have a position allocated on the shelf. I think maybe the P460SB was a good deal kit as part of the introduction of the tool and then they raised the prices and it seems it goes for $69-$79 now without the battery.

As far as I can tell, this is great deal:
Home Depot website P460SB $69 but going out of stock (this is what I bought for $40)
Home Depot website P460K1SB $119, (smaller 1.5Ah battery)
Home Depot website P460 $79 (tool-only, no battery)
Amazon P460 $74 (tool-only, no battery).

So, it looks like it's even better than the P460K1SB, so is therefore 67% off!

Just to follow up after using it for an hour or two:

- I used it to cut porcelan tile. I bought small diamond cutting discs from Harbor Freight. It worked fine; it took a while but I was going slowly to be careful as these were some small features I was cutting out to fit a new railing post on some existing tiled steps.

- Yes, it bogs down a bit under load as one commenter said.

- I didn't find it overly loud as one commenter said, though yes it is louder than a direct drive handheld dremel with a big motor in your hand. I wear ear protection most of the time anyway. The blade cutting the tile and my shop vacuum running to catch the dust were significantly louder than the tool.

- Yes, it includes the P190 battery. It looks like a cheaper battery (of course, since the whole tool was only $40) and doesn't have a fuel gauge and doesn't charge particularly fast. This is my first Ryobi tool and I just needed something cheap and reasonable quality; most of my other tools are Makita/Dewalt/Festool and those are definitely higher quality and charge faster.

- It's targeting little craft uses like intricate sanding / shaping. It worked fine for the detailed tile cuts that I did but that was pushing its capabilities. I didn't mind spending more time. For bigger tasks I have a pneumatic die grinder and an electric angle grinder; I just felt that I couldn't do the fine/detailed work with those tools without wrecking something.
You did great, thanks for sharing!

Brickseek link. Pulling product correctly, doesn't seem this package is sold everywhere. In the Cleveland area, I got zero results. In the Detroit area I got some but all were out of stock. Good luck!
Battery powered tools have their disadvantages too:

They are normally more expensive than equivalent wired tools.
Batteries do not last forever and need to be replaced.
There is no one battery that fits all tools - different brands, voltages, capacities, chargers
Batteries add weight and bulk to hand tools
Some types of tools are simply not as good when battery powered (such as grinders or small table saws)
Batteries need time to charge.

Before buying a cordless tool you should be clear with yourself what you're actually gaining by going cordless because if you don't need the portability it might not be the best choice. Hardware stores want to sell you cordless tools because they know you'll be back for new batteries and you're getting locked into their brands. A good wired tool could last you a lifetime with minimal maintenance, but cordless tools are dependent on the future of their batteries.

My local store showed anywhere from 0 to 4 of them online, over several attempts to select my store. If anyone needs/wants one of these, it might be worth checking your local store instead of trusting Home Depot's website for accurate stock information. I'm often burned by my local store not having what the website says they have in stock. This time the reverse happened and it worked out in my favor.

I have this from some battery deal. HD wouldn't take it back. It's unusably loud. Like, you need ear plugs. Has some kind of gearing inside I think. Slows substantially under load.

Meh! First of all, that charger... ugh! 6 hour charge time. Also, as I found out the hard way, not all Ryobi batteries are the same. Some of them, like the one in this kit (model P190 [amazon.com]), are standard performance so while they will fit and work in other Ryobi tools, the tool may not operate at full spec. Caveat emptor.

Had to look up Caveat Emptor. Had never heard of or read the expression before! Can't believe it. Happy to learn something new. Also learned there is possibly a reason this Ryobi is so cheap Frown not bad if you can get it for 40ish, your needs are simple (maybe artistic) and you have good shooting range earmuffs lol

Good combo. Only if I don't have the rotary tool already. need to get a little to use this. A bit bulky to lug around.

when is it advantageous to use a battery-powered rotary tool over a corded version?

I think I would go battery powered on just about every new tool purchase that I would make at this point. Li-Ion battery tools have gotten so much better in the last 10 years: you can now get all outdoor equipment battery powered, all types of routers/saws/drills, even unusual tools like handheld planers are available battery powered now. Reviews indicate that they're in most cases just as good as plug-in tools.

I have a number of tools which I purchased 5+ years ago which I would now want in battery form, if I were to be purchasing them now (but I'm resisting the temptation to replace tools that I already have). In particular, a cordless track saw and a cordless oscillating tool would be great. Large power hungry stuff like roto-hammers and thinset mixers should still be purchased plug-in in my opinion. Also, there's limited utility to battery powered miter saws if your saw never leaves the workshop.

Thanks; your points are all valid.

One thing to think about is that 18V batteries -> DC brushless motors are actually a better and cheaper electrical solution than cramming an AC motor (or an AC->DC rectifier) into a small handheld tool. I think it's also cheaper for the tool companies to release these low-voltage versions than it is to gain UL/CE approval for a new product which plugs into the wall, so that could result in cordless tools being cheaper. I believe the industry trend towards offering the tool for sale without batteries is an indication of this; the batteries are one of the most expensive pieces. So, perhaps now or in the near future one could save money if multitasking their existing batteries or if $/kWh for quality tool batteries come down to competitive prices. I agree that you have to consider batteries and their lifetime.

For my $0.02, I have 3 Makita batteries which have never been replaced and they work great after ~5 years. I'm a weekday/weekend project warrior type, so not doing this professionally every day. But I'm charging a tool battery every week or so

This is false.

Electrically, the only Ryobi batteries in the 18v line that allow for any difference in performance are the ones with additional tabs to provide more amperage to the tool (HP/HP+).

They retain compatibility with tools that don't support HP/HP+ (typically brushed tools) by keeping the primary tab placement in the same spot. Those additional tabs connect to nothing.

Notice how all of the tools in the 18v line still run at 18v max. Varying this voltage will affect the speed of the motor, not the torque. The other part of the equation, the amperage, is limited by the tool, not the battery. If any battery failed to output enough amperage, the tool would not run.

The only other rating on the battery is aH. This is a factor of longevity, not performance.

Simply put: If you want a more powerful tool, you have to either buy an HP+ or go corded. However, if you're looking for longer run time, slap on a bigger battery or go brushless.
