Ryobi One+ 18 Volt Cordless Drill Reviews

I have had the Ryobi 1+ for exactly 1 year now, and to be honest, I am quite impressed with it. Especially since I use it every day on the job, as I am a maintenance man for a property management company.

I bought the drill as part of a combo kit. The kit included the drill, a skil saw, a sawzall, a flashlight, and a hand vac, 2 batteries, and a charger. All for $180 bucks. I bought 2 additional batteries for $40 bucks.

Drill has lots of high speed power for drilling holes, and lots of low end torque for driving screws. I drive 3" screws in all day long on just 1 battery. I love it!

The best thing...

I was looking for an affordable and dependable drill. could not afford a Dewalt and saw this drill (which was sold as part of a Kit including 1 battery, charger, Circular Saw, Radio, and Flashlight)

I purchased this kit after thanksgiving and have not been disappointed. The Drill lasted all day on 1 battery including using a 3" hole saw a few times, a 1" auger bit a few times, and driving screws.  Drill appears to be very solid.  Ive used alot of cheap drills and even used a dewalt and would rate this closer to dewalt.

The only drawback I could see with this kit is that there is only 1 battery. ...

Recieved  the Ryobi One+ 18v cordless drill for Christmas. It replaced my old Ryobi 12v that was 6 yrs old. The 18v is very powerful. Nothing seems to bog it down. I know the batteries are still fresh but they seem to hold their an extended time. Also this drill can use the new lithium batteries, so they can be improved by getting new batteries when these finally die.

This did come in a kit with 2 batteries, a saw, plus your choice of one other free cordless tool. Price was very reasonable. Would recommend this drill for any handyman or light duty commercial work.

Ryobi battery tools are great. They are lighter than most of the high end battery tools with just as much power. Batteries do not last as long as on the job as most high end battery tools but if you have a spare battery and keep it in a charger while your working the batteries charge fast enough you will work all day professionally and never have a problem.

For the home owner or do it your selfer its the best value you can buy.

Certainly not the professional type, but is certainly very for the do-it-yourself folks.

Quite powerful and the charge is kept quite long. I find it quite useful as I do not use this tool quite often and the charge stays fine for many months and close to a year.

The power in the reverse is excellent as well.
