I'm looking to dive into some home projects soon and I'm considering purchasing the Ryobi One 12 Tool Combo Kit. The catch is, I'm not very handy and I need help figuring out how to use most of these tools. I can follow along with YouTube videos, but I'm hoping to find some detailed guides that explain what each tool is for. For instance, what's the difference between the impact driver and the drill? And how do I choose between the four saws that come in the kit? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

It's often better to start small. Instead of jumping into a 12 tool combo, maybe consider a 3-4 tool set instead. You can always get more tools later as needed! Plus, starting with a couple of cool projects—like building some simple furniture or hanging up pictures—can help you get the hang of using tools without feeling overwhelmed.
Yes, focusing on just a couple of projects to begin with seems way less daunting!
You might be putting the cart before the horse by wanting all those tools right away. I usually buy tools based on specific projects I want to do. So, instead of buying all at once, wait until you have a project in mind. But don't worry, you'll find uses for virtually all the tools eventually, even if it's just once!
True! Tools definitely end up having their moments to shine eventually.
Good point! Start small but think about what you want to tackle. Having specific projects in mind can make learning easier!
