I also wish it would’ve came with the belt clip and the handle. It feels like it has the power so I don’t know why that feature was skipped. One thing I thought it was lacking was hammer mode. With the variable speed trigger which I noticed is very good. I like the actual mechanical features of the drill because it has its settings of one and two speed. When I was drilling deep into some hardwood though I could definitely feel not much lag but I could definitely feel it was pushing to get through. And I went through 1/8 inch steel no problem. It’s a good quality drill I will say that. I definitely didnt feel the same power as the brushless. And I did notice this one is a brushed tool. Has the power I need, and works very well. Overall, this is a pretty nice cordless drill. The drill is a good length (chuck to back end), not too long, but the drill is fat enough that you cannot drill a parallel hole closer than about 1 inch from a wall or floor. The electric motor appears to have brushes, not a brushless motor. The light turns off immediately when you release the trigger. There is a white light that comes on when the trigger is pulled that gives you a little bit of light where you are drilling. The adjustable 24 position clutch allows you to get just the right amount of torque for driving screws. It has two speeds, the slower speed is good when used as a driver. It has plenty of power to drive even the half inch drill bit through hard wood. It does not come with a battery (sold seperately) but is compatible with my other Ryobi One+ 18 Volt tool batteries, so I did not need extra batteries for this drill. This Ryobi 18V Battery drill has a keyless chuck, and securely holds drill bits up to 1/2 inch. I would recommend this product to others. Having a short length allows me to maneuver in tight spaces. The chuck holds the bit tight using both torque drives. Unlike my older Ryobi drill, there is no built-in level bubble at the top of the housing. But I suggest you beware if you’re working in an environment near gaseous or flammable materials.Ģ. The guide states this condition is normal, and in most cases this will be acceptable. The user guide cautions that sparks will be visible through the vent slots on the housing, and indeed they are quite noticeable, especially in torque drive (#2).

It has a heavy duty feel and hefty drive force, but it is well balanced with a battery pack.Ģ. I was anxious to try this model, mostly because it has a smaller profile than my standard model (about 2” shorter), making it easier to use in confined spaces.ġ. I’ve been using a Ryobi battery powered drill for years and it has performed faithfully for hundreds of hours of use. I am a big DIY, and a portable drill is one of my mainstay tools.
