The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The RYOBI P884 stands apart from the other 18-volt kits in this batch with a published speed of 4,700 RPM, the highest speed figure in the combo kit group. At $275.00 it lands between the Milwaukee 2697-22CT at $232.00 and the Milwaukee 2696-24 at $469.00, and with 945 reviews at 4.6 stars it carries a credible feedback record.
The published tool weight of 2.7 pounds is impressively light for an 18-volt kit item, reflecting RYOBI's continued effort to keep the ONE+ platform accessible and manageable. The battery platform itself is the largest 18-volt ecosystem by tool count, giving buyers a near-unlimited catalog of compatible tools from grinders to inflators to outdoor equipment.
At $275.00 the RYOBI P884 does not have the brand prestige of Milwaukee, but it delivers verified 18-volt performance at a price point that undercuts the M18 four-tool kit significantly. For buyers who need speed-focused performance, platform breadth, and a light tool feel, the P884 makes a practical case.
