ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Compact 3/8 in. Right Angle Drill (Tool Only)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own many Ryobi brand tools as they are the only brand I buy. I bought this drill a couple weeks ago to specifically help me on a pop out entertainment center that I've been working on in my house. I couldn't quite get my screws in with my impact drill in a few places and this drill worked amazing. Would recommend to anyone building in tight spaces.

My issue with this drill is that the battery sticks out almost 3/4s of an inch past the end of the chuck. I was mounting shelf brackets with 45 degree angle supports, and I had one screw in already, but the second hole required a right angle drill. I grabbed my newly bought Ryobi HP right angle drill with a smile, thinking that I'd make quick work of this common problem, but I could only drill the hole part way, because the battery hit the wall. This defeats the purpose of having this tool.

I LOVE all my RYOBI tools

I bought this a month ago , work great gave me all the power needed to go through beams quick.

For starters, I've owned this drill for several years now, and it works really well in tight spaces. I recommend it for drilling holes in tight spaces that are 1" or less in regular 2-by stock or 1-1/2" through OSB. Anything over that is just a bit too much for this high-geared battery drill. You have to know your tool's limitations and what kinds of drill bits work best for the job you're doing. A year and a half ago my wife and I bought a not-quite 80-year-old home that needed a lot of upgrades, starting with re-running all the old, rusty iron freshwater pipe with PEX and moving on to updating some old (and badly done) wiring done by a prior homeowner, adding concealed, in-the-wall network, cable TV, and telephone wiring to several rooms, and adding a couple of new circuits and plugs. Most of this work was done in the basement with a few new runs going inside an interior wall to the attic. I used this Ryobi One 90-degree drill to bore dozens and dozens of holes through the floor joists over the basement to run all that pipe and wire. It's a solid tool that's up to the job, but you need to know which kinds of drills bits to use and what the drill's limitations are. Ryobi's One system 90-degree drill is perfectly capable of driving a 1" and smaller self-feed drill bits through 2" dimensional lumber, even the 80-year old, hard, dry stock in my home, but you've got to use a bit that does the job efficiently. The self-feed bit like the ones on the right side of my attached picture work well. The spade bit on the left does not cut efficiently and bogs the drill down, as does the corkscrew auger bit next to it that has an overly aggressive cutting angle. You want self-feed bits. The ones in my picture are my go-tos, but any quality self-feed bit with a shallow cutting plane should do. Just keep in mind this drill isn't up to drilling through 2x stock with a larger than 1" bit. I was able to start drilling with my 1-1/2 inch bit, but after half an inch or so of drilling the drill bogs down. This drill just isn't geared right to give it the oomph needed to drive these larger drill bits. In most cases my solution to drilling 1-1/2" holes was to start the holes with this drill, get about 1/2" into the wood, then switch to a standard 2-speed Ryobi One drill set on its low-speed gear, the "1" setting on the top of the drill. The 1/2" pre-drill gave me just enough of a head start that I could fit the standard drill between the floor joists and make the cut. Anything largest than 1-1/2", like waste-line holes, you will need a much larger, much more expensive corded right-angle drill. You can rent them.

Already came in handy removing my Walter filter housing in my fridge with little room to spare.

This little saw cuts great. I needed to cut back floor tile that had been laid for many years. The included tile blade very easily cut the tile. Great straight lines. No chipping or breaking. Saw did shut off a couple times. Must have strained it. I took off battery then replaced battery back and it was ready ro go immediately. Its dusty, but i did not wet blade or tile. I cut dry and it cuts straight and easy. I got a dremmel blade for wood. I used it to cut wood countertop to fit a new oven. Saw cuts wood very easily. The only drawback are the 3 inch blades. But the smaller blades may help keep size of saw small enough to get into tight places. For me, i couldnt ask for anything better. Works like a charm.

Great tool for tight areas. Easy to hold and the long trigger button is very useful

I am a Ryobi one+ fan with about 20 of the tools in their lineup. Today I bought their 3” Cut-off tool at Home Depot in Sherman Texas. The tool has an adjustable wheel guard that allows you to set depth of cut. However, the clamp holding the guard bottoms out before securely holding the guard in place - only light downward on the tool will move the guard. As you can see in the picture below I had to add the Copper wire spacer to keep the clamp from bottoming out and to firmly hold the wheel guard. It seems like this will be a nice tool but I can only give it a one star rating due to the safety aspect of the defect.

This angle drill is the best. Powerful and 2 speeds with variable speed trigger. Keyless chuck works great and grips tight without having to retighten. 18+ batteries last a long time. The drill is not too heavy and is easy to use. I highly recommend this quality product.
