Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The RYOBI 18V ONE+ Multi-Tool is the cordless, body-only version of Ryobi's oscillating multi-tool, and it takes #6 in this guide. At £67.39 it is the cheapest way into the ONE+ battery system here — but only if you already own a battery and charger, because the product name says "Battery & Charger Excluded" and the included components field simply reads RMT18-0, Ryobi's bare-tool code.
Two entries in this same listing do not agree. The field marked "Number of Batteries" states "1 Lithium Ion batteries required", while the title and the included components row both say the tool arrives on its own — so the spec sheet asks you to buy a battery that the title says is not in the box. The speed figures are more modest than the marketing norm in this category: 20,000 RPM maximum and 10,000 RPM minimum on a six-position variable speed wheel, where the corded models in this guide stop at 22,000–23,000 RPM. And the same 18V ONE+ body is listed at £149.00 with a 2.0Ah battery and charger, £81.61 more for the identical tool. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as published, not from any testing we carried out.
