Ryobi Combi Drill choice ?

[deni2022]

Our original combi drill model R18PD3 has expired due to too many drops!

Its still showing as available on the Ryobi site but along side what appears to be its successor the RPD18 which is surprisingly £9 cheaper ?

That kind of makes us think the newer model might not be as good, yet on the Ryobi compare list they seem very similar.

Does anyone have know why the price difference and if the newer model is any better ?

Features like a metal chuck, rpm’s and torque can mark the difference. The best Ryobi currently manufactured is called a Makita.

It doesn't look from your pic as though the batteries are the same for each model so you would need batteries for the new one which may be where the price difference is made up by Ryobi.
