Is the Ryobi 18v Cordless Drill worth the money or not? Here's a quick review of the 4 most important features to help you find out:
#1) Price
Cordless 18V Drill
Obviously with the 18 volts you'd expect to pay a lot of money-but it's SURPRISINGLY CHEAP. It costs just 0.
Just to give a comparison...
There are tons of 18vs out there selling for 0-600 so this is a real bargain. But as you might expect it's not nearly as powerful or durable as those ones.
#2) Features
The Ryobi 18v Cordless Drill comes with 2 bits, a flashlight, and 2 battery packs... all the things you'd expect in this price range. It has a nice tray that keeps your screws while working, and it comes with some high quality driver bits as well.
#3) Batteries
The batteries do tend to go very quickly... often times in 12 months or less of using them. And remember that new batteries aren't cheap. Just make sure you get a warranty on them... some places offer 1 to 2 year warranties on the batteries which you might need.
#4) Power
Don't be fooled by the 18v... this one is more comparable to most 12 to 14vs. It does go to 1600 RPMs which is respectable... but the amount of torque is somewhat lacking for a machine of this voltage.
Conclusion
On the whole this is a good machine with decent power... but it's more for homeowners than the construction site. If you are a professional would recommend a Milwaukee or Makita. But for a homeowner the Ryobi 18v Cordless Drill is a reliable option. It's certainly not going to cut through steel or metal... but it will do the trick with most wood.
