RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Compact Brushless 5-8-inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer

Overview

Meet the RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Compact Brushless 5/8-inch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer, designed to pair serious performance with a remarkably portable form. Built to deliver dependable drilling and chiseling capability in tight spaces, this tool blends advanced electronics with a lightweight, compact chassis. The result is a tool you can maneuver with one hand when overhead or in confined areas, without sacrificing power or control.

Power, speed, and control

ONE+ HP Technology brings more efficient power delivery to the job, letting you tackle masonry and concrete with confidence. The tool can reach up to 6,200 BPM, helping you finish drilling and chiseling tasks more quickly. Two practical modes—rotary hammer and drill—give you flexibility to switch tasks without swapping tools. The onboard LED work light illuminates your target, so you can work in dim corners or below overhead structures with clearer visibility.

• Up to 6,200 BPM for fast material removal
• 43% lighter weight than the full-size model for easier handling
• Two modes: rotary hammer and drill
• LED worklight to improve visibility on the jobsite

Compact design and real-world use

Measuring 11.4 inches in length, this compact brushless hammer is engineered for tight doorways, joists, and overhead work where a larger tool would slow you down. The lightweight profile reduces user fatigue during longer sessions, while the sturdy construction supports reliable performance in everyday tasks like anchoring, masonry drilling, or chiseling channels for wiring. Consumers often find the handle and balance comfortable enough to extend use without compromising precision, though individual results depend on application and technique.

System compatibility and durability

As part of the RYOBI ONE+ ecosystem, the HP Compact Rotary Hammer works with more than 260 cordless tools on the same 18V ONE+ platform. The design is paired with a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty for added confidence. Note that batteries and chargers are sold separately, and the included model reference is PSBRH01. This combination offers a flexible path for users who already own or are building out their ONE+ battery collection as projects evolve.

In practical terms, you could use this hammer for quick masonry tasks during a renovation, routine drilling in concrete for anchors, or light chiseling in tight spaces where a larger tool would be awkward. While results will vary with material, technique, and battery level, the tool is designed to be a capable companion for a wide range of indoor construction, electrical, or remodeling tasks.
