RYOBI HAMMER DRILL DRIVER
My ONLY criticisms would be the missing magnetic screw tray above the battery, which my older Ryobi drill has, as well as it's impact driver twin. Obviously, if you can afford it's more costly brushless relative, head that way. If you are a home "handy man" and prefer to get the job done than hunting around for an extension lead and your power drill, then this drill will be what you need. This drill exceeded my expectations of a hammer drill, taking merely seconds to drill 8mm holes for my 50mm long Dyna-Bolts. After I levelled up the cabinet and marked my drill locations, I proceeded to drill into the concrete. I was keen to test this in concrete, and promptly wanded my wall to ensure I had no power running behind. As expected, the drill makes short work of anything timber, and doesn't struggle ripping into steel with the 5AH battery I have. Read more binet to the wall and various other smaller tasks. I've tested it by installing new garden beds, mounting a gate, mounting a ca. It has plenty of speed and power when coupled with decent drill bits. I have owned this drill for about 5 weeks, and used it almost daily for various tasks. I finally decided to get this drill from my local Bunnings, and it came in a kit with the Angle grinder and small circular saw (Ryobi 18V ONE+ 2.5Ah 4 Piece Kit)
I have the 2012 model of Ryobi One+ drill, but have always needed to go and get my Bosch 240V drill for making holes in my brickwork around the house. Purchased in June 2020 at Bunnings Warehouse. It's a shame, because in every other respect it was a great tool. I ended up swapping it for the R18PD7 instead.
But an older model Ryobi I have at work (which has a motor with slightly less torque) had clutch settings that allow you to actually use a lot of that available torque and is much more effective. Maybe it was a faulty batch, I don't know. Unboxed another one on the shelf - just the same. We tried the demo one on the shelf - same problem. I took it back and the store assistant tried it and agreed. The majority of torque the motor has available (which can easily be seen by switching to drill mode) just isn't available. On maximum (24), there's a bit more torque than at low settings but not much. It would be fine for screwing up plaster sheets, but not for driving screws into soft pine decking.
Unfortunately, in "screw" mode the clutch is no good. The motor had heaps of torque for most applications (50NM), in drill mode. I've owned/used a few Ryobi tools at work and home, and always been happy with them before.īought this one last week. Purchased in April 2020 at Bunnings Warehouse for $199.
Overall, an excellent drill for the home handyman Read more and have existing infrastructure - chargers / batteries etc), but I don't think you can beat it for the price around the house.Īs with these 'systems', the chargers and batteries are interchangeable between different tools (or skins as Ryobi call them), so that saves on cost because you don't have to buy additional chargers and batteries for those different tools. I suspect that hard-core tradesmen wouldn't like the Ryobi 18V ONE+ system because they are stuck to the brand that they have always used (. Granted, it may come up short for a tradesman, but that is of no concern to me. In hammer mode, it will drill into anything that you have around your home. In screw mode, it has multiple different torque settings to prevent stripping. In drill mode, it is powerful enough to get through the toughest timber and metal. This drill does everything that you could hope for around the home - Drill, Screw & Hammer.
