ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver (Tool Only)

I have been using Ryobi corded tools for years but the flexibility that the new battery operated ones provide is more than value added. This drill is wonderful to use, light weight and with the adjustable torque it makes sense to grab it for those normal around the house jobs. I use the drill functions; however, I find myself going for the tool to use as a driver both for screws and hex nuts. It is quick and easy to move from one project to another. I recommend these tools to both the DIY’er and the professional. They are durable and reasonably priced.

Is everyone's first power tool a drill? We get a drill, probably the cheapest, we can find. And it's good enough for a while. Then there's times we wish we had more power. And that cheapest one we bought is probably a 3/8 inch chuck, one day that's too small. So we look for a GOOD drill when we're ready to upgrade, instead of the bargain store special we started with. I think this is a good one at a good price. Seeing I have other Ryobi tools and batteries it's a good addition to my collection. Sometimes it's nice to have an extra drill. But that begs the question; Is there such a thing as extra tools? Can anyone have enough, or too many tools? So with an extra drill, you can drill pilot holes with one and use the other with a screwdriver blade. But this is a review of this drill, I'll get back to the topic. It drills holes. It has 2 speeds. I really appreciate the chuck on this drill. I've had "keyless chucks" on drills that weren't worth spit. This is a good one. This drill is a little louder than others. Then when you're drilling it isn't a concern. It drills holes like it should. it drives screws. The torque adjustment works fine. I drove a 3/8" lag screw with no trouble. Nice to see everybody is putting lights on their drills nowadays. This one has a convenient light, it stays on for a few seconds after you release the trigger. This Ryobi drill has enough power and the price is very attractive. And I'm happy it's a 1/2 inch chuck. We don't need no 3/8 inch chucks around here.

This is a strong and sturdy drill motor. I like the Ryobi ONE + HP design, styling, and branding. I weighed this tool on my scale and it weighs in at 2-3/4 pounds without a battery. I like the LED light in the base. I found the light to be very helpful. The chuck runs straight and true. The drill did very well at drilling holes in galvanized steel conduit and fence posts. This Ryobi drill is 2 inches shorter from the chuck to the back than one of my other 18 volt battery powered drills. This Ryobi drill is louder than my other two 18 volt battery powered drills. This loudness is most noticed with pressing and releasing the trigger quickly. Overall a very good sturdy battery powered drill motor.

Happy to add another 18v Ryobi tool to our collection. It's so much simpler when the same batteries are interchangeable for multiple tools. Ryobi knew what they were doing to enhance their brand loyalty. As for the 1/2 drill, it appears to be heavier than our older Makita drill, but our view is that beefier is likely better. One nice feature is that the torque is adjustable. Put to use already, drilling out holes for screws on strips to hold insulation batting in the garage attic, since the 24" space was a little wide at times. Very happy with the tool.

This drill exceeds my expectations and is a big step up from my previous smaller drill. It comes with lots of useful features like variable speed trigger, 2 power settings and adjustable torque settings. I have used it on a few wood projects for drilling and driving screws and a closet remodeling project and this drill did not even break a sweat. I really like the variable speed trigger so that I can start slow and then increase the speed as needed. What is also great is that i have other Ryobi 18volt one+ tools so i can use the same battery system!

I am very pleased with the Ryobi One+ drill. It is very lightweight and easy to handle, which is so important to me. The weight can vary with the size of the batteries that you use. The larger 4ah is heavier of course, but you will have more oomph for your buck. The 2ah is fine for general applications. This drill makes it so much easier to place and change out the drill bits! Just a twist!! No key to worry about, great idea. I also have not had adjustable torque before, nor 2 power settings. Those features will be very helpful on future jobs. It is also much simpler to change the direction on this Ryobi than on my previous drill. Simple thumb button for forward, reverse and locked. I love it. The light is awesome, also a new feature for me. And no pulling around an extension cord. What took me so long?? I couldn't be happier!

I own several Ryobi cordless drills beginning with old blue colored ones that used Ni-Cd batteries and they were good products. Then came the Lithium 18 volt One+ batteries and tools. Lithium batteries are more powerful, last longer and hold a charge for months without recharging. What an advance in cordless tool technology! When I saw that Ryobi was introducing a lithium 18V One+ powered drill that featured the newest brushless DC motor technology and was designed to compete with other manufacturers' professional grade drills I just had to have one. This Ryobi 18V One+ HP drill is just excellent. It is smaller and the front-to-rear length (drill chuck to back of motor housing) is significantly shorter than than previous drills. This drill Model# PBLDD01B is a tool-only offering so you have to have the batteries and charger before you can use it. I have many 18V One+ batteries and chargers so that isn't a problem for me. This drill has all of the "whiz-bang" features that have been developed over the last 30+ years. Variable Speed Reversing, Keyless Chuck, 2 Speed Gearbox, and now a Brushless DC Motor. This is a very smooth, powerful and fairly compact drill. I really like the professional chuck. It is shorter than previous Ryobi drills and seems to tighten more easily than earlier drills. Even though there isn't an included belt hook there is a threaded hole on both sides of the drill's base that will accept a M4 x 12mm socket-head cap screw so you could add one if you want. You can use any One+ 18V battery and the overall weight of the drill/battery combo increases with the higher capacity batteries. I used one of my old 1.5 amp batteries and it works great. With the brushless DC motor technology you get longer run-time and more power as compared to the older brushed motor drills. I really like this drill and you can be assured that you are getting a top notch, high quality, professional tool. I highly recommend this drill.

I own several Ryobi tools and they have all been quality products with superior performance. This cordless drill/driver is no exception. I like the fact that as compared to other drills I have owned it is less noisy. It has a light on it, which is nice. The only negative is that the chuck teeth will not hold the smallest drill bits because it will not go down to zero. It was easy to use; I used it to drill holes in metal by barely pushing the trigger in . I was able to drill into soft materials at high speed as the drill will turn 2300 RPM. The batteries and charger are not included but I already had those. It has a three year warranty.

Well, this is an impressive powerful tool. Unit has impressive torque upon pulling the trigger. Speed control is great and makes for ultimate control to fit the job at hand . Quite compact overall which makes it nice for especially tight places as you work. Nice selection of torque settings for the job at hand.The chuck adjustment is a major step forward compared to older units. Overall, nice piece to add to the toolbox!!
