A great drill
I bought this drill after my previous Ryobi drills Ni-cad batteries would no longer accept a charge. I found that the lithium batteries also fit my older Ryobi 18 volt drill.
I like the magnetic plate to hold screws and the charge level indicator on the lithium batteries.
The beauty of lithium batteries is that they can be charged at anytime where as Ni-cad batteries need to be run flat to charge. Otherwise a 'memory effect' comes into play so if you charge a half used battery you think you've charged it fully but you've only got a half charged battery.
The drill is powerful and does all that I ask of it.
Inexpensive, energy efficient, magnetic screw plate, charge level indicator on lithuim batteries

Love this tool, it's brilliant!
I recently bought one of these and it's brilliant. I love the rechargeable battery set up and as an electric screwdriver it works really well.
The magnetic plate is brilliant as it holds your screws so you don't have to worry about picking them up evertime you need the next screw, makes the job SO much easier.
I am thinking I might get some of the other Ryobi products.
Great screwdriver, good price very happy with it so far.

Favourite tool in my shed
I've had this drill for 18 months now and it's by far my favourite tool in the shed. I don't know what I did before buying this little beauty. I have three of the 18v batteries, two small and one large. The drill can be a little weighty with the larger battery but the small batteries last a long time on this unit so there's no need to use the larger type battery. I love the magnetic plate on the handle which is perfect for holding 5 or 10 screws and it also has a holder for the screwdriver bit.
The unit has a small LED light on the front whic...Read more

Amazed at torque and quality
After getting the impact driver I hesitated on getting this drill as I have a Makita cordless. It would be convenient to be able to run the same batteries though. I asked a Bunnies staff member if they were any good and he produced a 150mm batten screw and proceeded to make it disappear into the end grain of a timber pallette. Upon making it reappear, the screw was smoking and was nice and shiny. This drill had enough guts to easily drive the batten screw and it was only $70 for the skin so I thought 'what the hay!'. It's a little ripper! I dr...Read more
ill through solid steel plate, timber and have even used it to go through mortar even though it dosent have a hammer action. Has plenty of torque and anything too hard for it is compensated by the impact driver I bought earlier. Would definitely recommend this handy size funny coloured little item. Good overall unit. After drilling through 10mm iron plate and having the customary grab on the exit, the handle flexed a bit on the join.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

As described
I have had this drill for a year and has done exactly what I have needed it to. Although it does not have a heap of grunt you would not expect any more from a cordless. I have put it through many tests of drilling 1/4 inch holes in hard wood and 40 one inch holes in pine. The 1.4Ahr battery lasts just shorter than the time taken to charge a second battery when you are using it under heavy load ~40mins. So you can factor in a break every hour if you are using it non-stop.
The drill was purchased with 2 batteries which I think is a must, you ...Read more
don't want to wait for the battery to charge when it suddenly goes dead. It has 2 speeds, fast for drilling and slow with high torque for screwing. It also has a clutch so you can customize the amount of torque you need to apply. I am considering buying a second so I don't have to switch between Drill and screwing The drill has a handy led light which helps when drilling in low light areas. It's light and easy to handle.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Questions & Answers
Larsanderssasked
Someone (actually not myself) i think has dropped my machine and i think it had a blow on the upper left side of the chuck because it seems to have lost its stability and support in the downward right direction. I have opened it guessing that the problem is inside the twistable part just behind the chuck. Has anyone had the same problem and can guide me a bit maybe ? Or does anyone know if the screw holding the chuck is right or left threaded ??
It was part of a 50 year present from my brothers so i would like to have it running again (it does work but does not feel ok to use).

I have already opened the device and my guess is that the thread is backwards.... do i have to put everything back in the housing to be able to remove the chuck without loosing everything that can (and will) fall out of the gear housing ??
If you look on youtube their are clips which show you how to pull apart your drill and replace the damaged chuck. The chuck is available through ebay or Bunnings and other stores. You just need to find one that is compatable with your drill. As how to remove chuck assembly -- https://www.hunker.com/13415303/how-to-remove-a-ryobi-drill-chuck

Where is hammer action?
Rodasked
Mine has been a great drill... I love it. But - last week, I found I couldn't engage the slower speed. The slide switch only moves from the #2 position to half way between #1 and #2. Power is only there for the #2 position. Any ideas?

It sounds like something inside is mechanically jamming. I think you will have to disassemble it and find out why. Chances are something has dislodged or has broken that selects the gear ratio. Good luck.

The 4ah batteries are really light. $99 in Bunnings.
