Ryobi Variable Peed 3/8ths inch Drill

Unless you do none of your own work at home, one of the most valuable tools you can own is a power drill.

A trip to either The Home Depot or Lowe's might convince you that unless you have the latest, greatest lithium powered portable drill you are seriously challenged.  I say no.

Now if you're among those of us who seem always to have a next project on the board you probably can benefit from the latest cordless drill.  But for the overwhelming majority of homeowners and apartment dwellers, your needs can be more easily addressed with a simple, inexpensive corded drill.

A must have for my job. I've always heard good things about Craftsman and I agree having owned my wrenches for 5+ years now. I broke one on the job and it was such a simple replace at Sears for a new one. You really can't beat that especially if you depend on your tools to feed your family and make a wage. Easy to clean up, and work especially great when in conjunction with other Craftsman tools. I carry them with me everyday to the various job sites and haven't been disappointed yet.

Very reasonably priced for what they are.

I use this drill all the time for work as a Electrical Tech, this drill travels easy because of its compact size, but don't let the size fool you, it is pretty powerful and does a great job. I travel all over the United States and Canada with this drill and it fits in my portable tool case with ease. My other drill I have is too bulky to travel with. Rigid tools seem to be built tough and good quality. You woun't be disappointed."

My friend is a professional home builder, who allowed me to use his quote: "I bought this drill and while back and have loved it. I build custom homes full time and...

I bought this Dewalt 18V cordless drill for my Husband a little over a year ago.  After having gone through several other name brand corded and cordless drills we decided to bite the bullet and spend a little more for a quality product.  My husband had had experience using this product in his work setting and was already impressed with it's quality.  We purchased this at our local Lowe's store in a combo pack with a reciprocating saw.  I have had the opportunity to use this myself numerous times.  You have plenty of power to drill into anything you can think of.  We have used this on wood,...

Ryobi Compact Drill Model P815 -18V Lithium Battery

Most of the other reviews of Ryobi cordless drills seem positive, but I'm returning my second 18V Lithium drill, model P815, to Home Depot tomorrow and buying something else.  I liked the feel of it and it worked well -- when it worked.  In August, 2009, I bought the package which included the drill, two compact batteries, and a charger.  I took it home and charged the batteries and checked them in the drill.  They both worked, so I left one in the drill and put the charger, extra battery, and drill back in the storage bag.  I used it twice for a couple of minutes each during the next two...

Pros

  • Very well-balanced and comfortable to use at less than 3-1/2 pounds
  • Kit includes two batteries, charger and 5-position flashlight, all in a sturdy plastic case
  • 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck holds bits more securely than other cordless drills I've tested
  • Covered by Hitachi's 5-Year Professional Warranty

Cons

  • Would love to see Hitachi add an on-board bit holder
  • Has a bit of an annoying high-pitched squeal when in operation, but it's a minor annoyance.

Description

  • Hitachi's design includes externally accessible brushes, making brush changes quick and easy if they ever need replacement.
  • 1/2-inch...
