Usual price £100. Reduced to £84 at the moment. £69 with code.
I've had one of these for a while and its taken some abuse. I've now invested in more one+ tools based on how impressive this performed. I'm no tradesman. But I've renovated 3 houses top to bottom and this has done just fine so should stand up to the casual diy'er
Combi Drill. 2 'one+' batteries and on the basis they're £40+ each. This is a steal.
Hopefully helps someone out.

I've not been impressed with these. I'm a head of D&T at a secondary school, bought 2 for the department. Found them to be poor. Worst thing is the chuck which slips far too easily. In the department we have 2 of these, a budget £99 makita and an Aldi Drill. Even the Aldi drill is far better than the Ryobi. Whem I look for a drill to pick up at school, I go Makita, then Aldi, then Ryobi. It annoys me when I have to use a Ryobi one. Would not buy again in a million years.

I think the modular nature of the Ryobi would be a better investment. You'd be able to add another of their tools and buy just the bare unit without a the batteries The Bosch one you are looking at is not one of the rugged professional range, whereas the Ryobi can compete on a semi-serious level, albeit the batteries aren't great.
I'd personally choose the Ryobi and build on it if / when I could.

At this price the Ryobi is a better drill.
If you are willing to increase your budget by £30 then go for the Bosch drill AzeemB mentions from Screwfix. Maybe overkill for DIY, but a good bit of kit used by the trade.

yes but it's 40% dearer - I'm sure for another £40 or so on top someone could find one better than the Bosch

I, too have a collection of Ryobi One+ tools and rate them well for 'extreme DIY' use. I know professionals who use them with good results too.
This is a very good deal though you do need to bear in mind that it includes the basic 1.3Ah batteries. Fine for drills and similar lighter draw tools but you'll soon become very frustrated with them if you use them on a circular saw or other more demanding tool. They do One+ lawnmowers now - I don't think you'd get far with a 1.3Ah battery!
Definitely hot at this price provided you know what you're getting.

OP: I can't see where to enter the code. Can you advise please?

Threw me too. At the bottom of the basket page +Add code, +add card and +add club or something similar. Click the + next to the code one and paste it in there.

I'm looking to buy a drill, but I am torn between this Ryobi and this Bosch.
Any thoughts on which would be the better option?

That's a deal on its own.
Excellent drill for the money.
Only one battery, but it's 4.0ah so will do half a shift and charge over a break of necessary.
Bought another as a spare as my Hilti was stolen recently. Cheers AzeemB!

£100 4ah battery
torque is probably higher on the bosch to.
