How it works. This is a powerful handheld drill that runs off of the Ryobi 18V battery system. It not only holds drill bits but it can hold also hold screw driver tips. There are other specialty items that you can buy and use in this unit. The ...

Pros: Powerful, Battery Life & Recharge Time, 2 levels on board, Flashlight
Cons: Heavy, Cheap driver bits.

Time called for me to purchase a cedar playset for my son. Upon reading the manual and...

Pros: Solid value, Powerful, An entry to Ryobi's extensive family of 18 volt tools
Cons: 2 sleeve chuck, Possible overkill for non-professional, Questionable warranty service

I got this drill as part of Ryobi’s cordless drill and jig saw combo kit. I’ll comment on both tools. For the industrious homeowner, the Ryobi 18 volt drill/driver is an excellent tool. Spend enough time researching cordless tools, and ...

Pros: Enough power for average homeowner with a fair price!
Cons: After using it for some time, it becomes a little heavy!

To make it simple, I would say that the first thing you have to figure out is...

Pros: Great price, competitive handling
Cons: Light duty switch, no fuse

In my career I have used up a Bosch 7.2 volt drill, a Bosch 9.6 volt drill, and shelved an Ok 14.4 volt Black and Decker drill and saw combo set that were identical to the Dewalts of the time. I am still using a Makita 9.6 volt pod battery type ...

Pros: Very good value and warranty
Cons: Heavy, but worth it.

Why do I say it's not for the professional? Because there's a bias among professional tradesmen. It's not necessarily unfair either. They want the best tool, generally regardless of price. THIS tool though is cheaper than others in the category. That ...

Pros: Heavy Duty Performer, Fast Recharge, Smooth Handling, Variable Speeds and Torque Settings
Cons: Torque Needs Adjustment on Driving, Heavy for Causal Use

Bigger is not always better, but in this case, it doesn't hurt.

Pros: Excellent low speed control. Like the Levels.
Cons: Chuck is junk, requires 2 hands to tighten. Heavy

I'm a diehard Panasonic user. I won this tool as a doorprize and I've found that I really like it for some jobs. It's heavy. You wouldn't want to use it to build a steel building or other large project because it would wear you out.

On...

Pros: Powerful, well built, accessories, ease of use and price.
Cons: None that I would complain about - weight maybe.

I bought this drill in a package with flashlight, saw, drill and 2 batteries. (I also have the handvac.) Now that I have it, I wished I had broken down years ago and bought one. It has saved me hours on projects over the last few months. I was attracted ...

Pros: Great price, Good tool for homeowner, tons of power
Cons: Tiny bit of wobble when using drill at high speed (not a big issue)

This drill came with the 18 volt combo kit (drill, recip. saw, circular saw, flashlight). Bought it at Home Depot for 200 bucks. Drill works great, a little heavy though. Luckily I also have a Ryobi 12 volt drill for smaller jobs. The kit also comes...

Pros: low price, 2 year warranty
Cons: slightly less power than some others

I bought the Ryobi cth1802k around 3 years ago, I bought the Ryobi mainly because of the cost difference(close to 100 dollars less than most other 18 volt drills). I work in the construction industry including steel framing, in doing this I would use my...

Cons: Battery life is not as good as DeWalt or Rigid really limiting the saws usage.

Pros: Power, Battery length, smart charger.
Cons: a little heavy reversing switch not convienient

I am a contractor and have used this drill every day, all day for 8 months now and I have'nt a serious complaint. It is powerful more than I could use. Even more than some of my corded. The clutch settings (tell the drill to automatically stop when a...
