Good review. I bought the last Ryobi brushless hammer drill a few years ago when it was offered with the two batteries and a free tool. It’s still meets my needs. I do like the HP line of tools and will move up as needed. One of the thing the new HP line did was take away the magnet on the base of the tool, I have always found that feature useful to keep up with extra screws. I do like the extra light. I guess I can’t have it all.......
Well, like other tool brands that don't have that feature, there's always 3rd party options that you can either adapt or what till someone targets the Ryobi HP line... For example... i.ebayimg.com/images/g/w88AAOSw8Updkdl3/s-l300.jpg
I agree. Ever since they came out with the new hp line I've always complained about the mag trey. I always use it. When you upgrade you shouldn't take away the good features of the old one
I enjoy your videos, you present the pros and cons very well. I love my green tools as a serious DIY guy. Some I’ve returned and bought pro grade brands because the tool wasn’t up to snuff. I can appreciate an honest review and not be butt hurt if it fails a test. I’ve made a few purchases based on your reviews and they were spot on. Thanks from NC.
You know it's a good drill when the reviewer can only nitpick about the aux handle being maybe a bit longer and the trigger grip style, which is about as subjective as there can be, not to his liking. I know most people who tune into these type of channels are gear heads so Ryobi is almost always frowned upon right out of the gate. But lets get real here. For what this drill costs, especially in a package with impact driver, and the performance I saw in this video, I'd say this is a damn fine piece of gear and it would serve any DIYer and homeowner very well. I'm pretty impressed with the recent Ryobi HP stuff. I like where they are going.
I own the RPD18X and buyed this in Germany at BAUHAUS. I think the RPD18X is the european similar Model to the PBLHM101 with one little difference. On Paper they have difference Torque: RPD18X=95Nm, PBLHM101=85Nm I am very satisfied with this Tool. It makes fun to work with. Good Test and a professional Video 👍
Anyone worth their salt shouldn't bash you much because your right. I can however see a inexperienced person trying to run a larger bit in low gear with and ending up with a sprained or broken wrist. TTI is definitely going after the cheaper Dewalt tools and from what I've seen they are succeeding with this new line of tools. Great video as usual.
Good vid. I think this helped your point with proper battery implementation. Glad you mentioned the minimum recommended battery on the tool label. I like this drill more after seeing what you've done with it here. Might be a new addition to my collection. Thank you!
I really think Ryobi have come a long way. Some of their tools still have some issues, and some of their tools still are outright bad, but most of their stuff is getting really good, and they show alot of willingness to improve. For instance, their old brushless hammer drill was pretty good, powerfull motor (apart from a bit too aggressive overload protection) but the chuck was really bad and would let go of anything i put in there sooner or later. These new ones seems to have alot better ratcheting chucks. Also have this sneaky feeling that much of the quality uplift is from using stuff from older generation Milwaukees. Alot if the build materials seems to be the exact same. If that is true then the trickling down of older, but higher quality tech is awesome for consumers. Sure its not industrial grade, but its miles above the average IKEA drill or whatever someone would buy just for the sake of having a drill. I'm pretty sure that "regular" people collectively buy alot more tools than professionals do, so better technology at better prices affect ALOT of people out there!
Outstanding video. A couple of points. It seems that the HP tools with the extra prongs seem to work pretty good where as the HP tools without the extra prongs simply don't impress. Second I think at least the brushless tools from Ryobi are good enough to build a house. However, I said a house not houses. I don't believe no matter what they claim their not professional grade tools to used hard day in and day out. Just my opinion YMMV. And last the famed 1911 has the best trigger.
It's not cutting out due to lack of power. It's doing it to prevent you from ripping your arm off. It's a built in feature, I'm surprised you don't know this.
some of us home owners like myself are former construction workers, form and frame carpentry, sewer and gas in groun pipe lines, and some years in residential/commercial a/c duct mechanic work,, duct board and sheet metal, former over the road truck driver and u.s. army vet, i've got tons of tools
The 6ah batterie that I have, both older and the newest ones, both have the extra contacts. I have this drill and the one that was slightly older. Good video.
Ryobi has had at least 2 other drills that have had auxiliary handles. I would assume at least one or two more, such as their brushed hammerdrill with 600+" lbs, but I personally own two that have auxiliary handles, one (old) also had a depth gauge
Love it. Using it for a fence extension on a concrete wall and have had zero problems. I got it free with the Ryobi days deal with 3 batteries, so can’t complain.
@@robertkeenan9706 same haha and yea i went from stolen dewalt to ryobi hp so far it stands to the daily abuse even outpowering some ppl with dewalt at work so im sure this drill will be nice. Old heads that never tried it will think its shit tho till i peove them wrong everytime
Just curious because I heard you mention it in the video. Is the drill gearbox housing that the aux handle clamps on made from aluminum or plastic? That's kind of the deciding factor for me because I have the old drill and with heavy use the plastic housing broke down and made the chuck wobble so much its basically useless now.
Try scratching little bit with just a tip of sharp blade. Metallic paint will reveal green plastic below. Metal housing will expose shiny metal below oxidized layer. Tiny tiny scratch is sufficient :)
I’m confused. You’re referring to the “old hp battery” as different from the “new high performance battery”? Is it not the same just with different labeling?
Facts bro i had someone witb a dewalt burn up in smoke ina hot day my ryobi hp kept kicking ...hp is the future i went from dewalt couple yesrs afo to Ryobi hp everything!
Thanks for the video. I got the brushed version of the non hammer version of this. I'm struggling to go through a brick so I started to look for masonry bits but I'm not sure if my drill is capable of it. It's an old red brick. Would you share your opinion with me? Thanks in advance!
I have a bosch hammer drill should I buy this or will it be a waste of money it is not side handle compatible but I really only bought it to replace my old ryobi drill that did not have a 2 speed switch thoughts?
One "OMG RUclips Comment's prove you wrong!" correction: The prior generation (P251) came with an (awkward) Auxiliary handle which could be faced either left or right through the plastic body above the trigger. The new handle is what they should have done the first time.
the P220 drill had a 360 handle and was their only 3speed drill as far as i know, things a beast. had it for years and it'll still wipe the floor with most drills.
@@wolfie965 I use to have the blue p211 Ryobi it had that same screw on to the housing auxiliary handle hated that hammer drill it was for work that's what they gave me and one of my jobs it wouldn't let me use anything but that because it was registered or something
@@bluemantom77 oh that sucks, the p220 handle was actually a friction ring style, it slipped on the housing and you tightened the handle down in any position you could desire.
I get the impression that you are not a big fan of Ryobi. No prob - there are tools for everybody’s interests and price range! I love Milwaukee, but for the price, Ryobi is hard to beat!
You are neglecting the temperature of the drill swapping batteries. Wonder what would happen if the drill itself could cool down before the battery swap.
Good review. I have to ask tho if it's a locking chuck, your actually supposed to torque it down then one click back to actually lock it down. I mean you didn't do that and it still retained it. You were stating it didnt spit out the large bit like others drills have. Is the one click back method correct or some b.s.
99 percent of people never do the one click back. I have had some engineers tell me the one click back used to be true and is not anymore and some say to do it. I cannot get a straight answer, so I used this like many DIY people would, no click back. It held the bit better than many others. If it would have been an issues I would have done the one click back and worked to prove it.
@@WorkshopAddict awesome, thanks for the info. Yeah, I was wondering as well I couldnt get a consistant answer either. Some say yes some say it doesnt matter.
I'm late to this discussion, but I've found the click-back to be useless. Here's a test - crank down the chuck, then click it back. Run the drill in reverse at full speed for a second. It un-clicks itself. I can't see the click back locking anything, and if it did, it'd be considered a feature that they'd advertise.
@@bread-gz3rl It actually doesn't un-click itself, I just wasn't twisting it back far enough. But the click-back actually doesn't do anything, which is what I assumed and observed. Watch the two recent AvE videos about this. He responds to the clickbait-y video about the "secret drill chuck feature", pulls up a patent diagram, and eventually cuts open the chuck, The biggest hint is the fact that manufacturers don't advertise this as a feature, which they absolutely would do if it were one.
the first one was way back when ryobi hit the shelf's I had both the old 14.4 volt contractors hammer drill with handle and the 18 volt version that came out 2 years latter loved them thats when they had 2 tiers the diy and the contractor versions .....
My Ridgid hammer drill has the same handle. I actually really like how it attaches, it's very easy to use. I understand your concern under the "safety" banner, but I think a person would have to be an idiot to not be able to secure the handle properly. Keep up the great reviews. When will we get to see Jeff back? Your videos together are always fun to watch. I always enjoy the banter.
The Ridgid attaches with more gusto. Jeff has some major family issues and needs some time to get his life straight. Hoping that happens sooner than later.
I don't drill anything over 1inch on high even on a Dewalt or Milwaukee. Lower speed, higher torque equals longer life of tools. Even then the drill will sometimes bind up exiting the other side of the board.
I have ryobi batteries, so bought this as a mud mixer doing sheetrock. They're just basic 4ah batteries in it, but on speed one, it spins the mud fine. Those are full boxes into a five gallon bucket, with full size whip. It makes a great cordless mud mixer.
I got this drill in a kit battery and charger and it dose not come with a HP battery, it comes with their new 4 amp battery not a HP battery . This drill is one of the best drills I'v had in 30 years as a cabinet maker and is way more powerful then my old Makita that it replaced I just hope it lasts as long as it did?
@@dabmanian_devil I sold my ryobi drill and now I only have an electric screw driver and impact driver. I like them more than the drill because there are drill bits with hex shaft that I can swap out bits quickly and never worry about it getting loose and drop off.
Just bought one yesterday and I can't get the chuck to open....will close nicely but not budging to the right in order to get a bit in! I wanna scream.
These new ryobi tools are BAD as in awesome. got the new 4 1/2 one+ HP cordless grinder with a 4ah battery and it out performs my buddies Milwaukee with a 5ah battery. I'm very impressed with this new line of ryobi tools and plan on replacing all my cordless tools with these new one+ HP tools. You just cant beat the performance to price ratio.
On the chuck, man caver tools pointed out that after you tighten it up that you turn it back one notch it locks it. I don't know if it is true? I don't own one yet but I will.
Look at the similarity with the new HP 4ah battery, if you look close the battery indicator is exactly the same as the existing ridgid batteries. The chuck seems real similar too.
the new rigid tools just dropping rn are thee exact same as these hps,, look at there new 7 1/4 saw,, the same top ti bottom as the ryobi hp,, hell even their new impact wrench is a carbon copy of the newer hp ones,,, and the hps are just as strong (both max out at 600 640 ft/lbs)
Hey thanks for the review but how would you rate this one to the other Ryobi brushless hammer drill. Like does it have more power , speed etc . I have the old but I'm afraid to upgrade if there's not much of a difference
I've always stated in my own videos that Ryobi is geared for the homeowner.... however it seems that with their new lineup they are making a run at competing with other contractor tools....After all they are manufactured by TTI industries as is Milwaukee so it makes sense they are trying to compete
@@WorkshopAddict .... Not saying they would I'm just simply saying they are improving in that category... they are distancing themselves more and more from other home owner brands such as craftsman.... Kobalt.... and porter cable.... they are getting more in the realm Of say Ridgid or maybe even Dewalt....Brands like Makita and Milwaukee Are still in a category of their own
@@devilefan IMHO, they are still no where near Ridgid's reliability. If I were to test this tool like I would a Ridgid or Dewalt, we would see a smoke show. Literally. Seen it on a few of these already.
@@WorkshopAddict ....Again not saying they are I just said they are getting "in that realm"....They are definitely better now then they were and much better than the other three brands I mentioned in the homeowner category
@@WorkshopAddict Bullshit! Commercial/industrial electrician for 25+ yrs now. Been using Ryobi on the job site since they were blue circa 2004/05 before lithium packs appeared in 09. My original core tools were drill/hammer drill, the incredible $69 "tool only" impact driver, and the sawzall. Sawzall trigger safety switch sucked balls so I just jammed a small screw to keep it closed but the tools were great and I abuse the crap out of my tools. Before Ryobi I had every major brand but Makita. Had Dewalt since the first 12V pistol drill, then Porter Cable before they gayed out(getting better recently)and did the good but really expensive Milwaukee thing. Yeah, I got ribbed for my homeowner tools but I was just as productive and could buy just the tool back then.
I just bought this hammer drill. I was hoping to see something about the hammer only setting. No one in my family can figure out how to get it in hammer mode. I'm wondering if mine is defective.
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I’m trying to decide between craftsman and Ryobi but watching your video has made the decision for me so Ryobi hands down. Thank you for making these videos they are very helpful.
@@keithhoward8651 Glad we could help. This drill should just be getting in the stores. Make sure you buy this model number as it is light years ahead of other Ryobi models.
Could you confirm that gear housing is aluminum cast and not painted plastic? All the previous versions of Ryobi drills had plastic painted in metalic paint. This would be the first one. However i would assume that such a major improvement would be advertised, and Ryobi stays silent on this.
@@WorkshopAddict fun fact: on european market brushless jigsaw is exactly the same as on american market, but is painted in metallic paint. Why? Europeans distrust plastic much more than Americans, and even lower tier european competiton like Erbauer (similar or even lower price point, their jigsaw is ca. 60$ before taxes) sell their jigsaws with cast aluminum main body (which is much stiffer and helps precision of the cuts, but in the same time more expensive than just a metal plate hold in plastic body). Ryobi decided to compete with just an appearance :) Ryobi painted plastic with metallic paint on US market as well, for example brushless angle grinder has half of the body painted despite having proper, cast aluminum gear housing. I do not understand this particular design desicion, because nobody makes aluminum body angle grinders this days and there is nothing to be ashamed of. This is why im interested with the new drill: on photos the color matches the color of impact driver gear housing, which is aluminum cast and is heavily advertised as such. But is it true metal, or there is dirty secret below the layer of paint? Anyway, you can trust no one this days :)
I love Ryobi snatched up the first brushless drill/ hammer drill. Performance was excellent but the all keyless metal chuck they used was crap. I tried and failed to remove the chuck to install a nice version from an old Dewalt xtr 18V. Could never get the original off without feeling I was break something. Rubber mallet with Allen key inserted and chuck tightened. Brain wants to say reverse threaded removal but don't remember 100% ATM. I did check before trying the several times I didn't before giving up. Might try some focused heat on the fastener with a soldering iron for a while to loosen the epoxy, ehmm, locktite. If not drill and remove with an easy out.
@@WorkshopAddict What is the difference between the 2803-20 and 2804-20? Am wondering if I should wait for a new version of the 2804 to come out to buy him since these seem to be made a few years ago. What do you think?
@@stavroulaeconomou7256 2803 is a drill driver only. 2804 is a hammer drill. 2804 is a solid and reliable drill. We are seeing very little new coming out right now so I would not wait if he can use it now.
I mean, according to a lot of people, _all_ of Ryobi's tools are "DIY" tools. It hasn't stopped them from making me money on nearly every job site over the last fifteen years but there are still those who insist I need to replace them all with "real" tools, anyway. I'll probably pick up this "DIY" hammer drill when mine finally craps out. Then again, there will probably be at least one more version before that happens.
15 years ago, Ryobi made great tools. Since the blue went away, the quality has went down and down. Since Ryobi sold to Kyocera in 2018 and TTI leases the name, it has sunk even further. So you get people who made money with the older tools and love them and the new people who burn up a new tool in 3 weeks and hate them. It is all about the experience, but with the new tools, it wont take long to change your mind.
@@WorkshopAddict I can't say that I agree. I didn't say I only own blue Ryobis. I can say with some authority that my newer, HP recip saw is significantly better than the blue recip it replaced (finally crapped out a month ago). All of my green drills are better than my OG blue drill by a _wide_ margin. Yes, even the first green drill (which I still have). Jigsaw vs jigsaw, green wins. Shop vac vs shop vacs, green again. Miter saw vs miter saws, all green, all day. Don't get me wrong, my blue tools have served me well for a long time but my green tools are a definite improvement in most cases. The one exception would be the blue 5.5" circular saw vs the green 6.5". The balance sucks on the green and only gets worse when you add a bigger battery. The blue saw is perfectly balanced and with its rear battery mount, doesn't change when you add a bigger battery.
I've upgraded my whole tool setup to these all new hp tools, and I use em daily demoing and refabbing houses for airbnbs,, and I can say that while most my coworkers wanna say ohh they ain't as tough as my Milwaukees Dewalts whatevs,,, but they javent failed me once in anything,, and I've actually gotten a few to try em and I ve had 2 say they like the new hp 4 mode impact driver and impact wrench over his rigid octanes, and the angle grinder and one hand recip saw over his Milwaukees... while I know most veiw ryobi as diy,,, I think that's just biased from years of subpar lines,,, but anyone who try these hps out will def admit they're stepping up into AT LEAST tha pro-sumer level... give em like another year or 2 to drop a more broadened lineup of hp tools to match the big box brands',, and they'll be a easy contender w their performance and pricing... lol I got 11 hp tools w 5 hp batteries for less than a Milwaukee 5 tool set price.... and I can def live w that loll
question, on the hp hammer drill,, does the silver ring at the front of the chuck (where it says 0- 1/2 inch or whatevs) spin freely on its own? I'm not sure if it's meant to or if mine just got knocked loose ... doesn't affect functionality at all,,, but I just never noticed it till like a week ago, n never had prior drills to do that.
@@dabmanian_devil Yes, it spins free intentionally. Companies like DeWalt have had that feature for a long time. It reduces the chance of marring the surface of your work if the chuck happens to come into contact with it.
I know ryobi is not a professional tool brand, still a lot of professionals use them everyday, specially when we have to provide our own tools for the jobs
@@BennyBestt I had to buy ryobi because they are cheaper to replace when they get stolen, I've had them stolen too. But ryobi gets the job done, and the hp aee as awesome as you say
He can't. That Ryobi tool is pure junk. They haven't ever made a good tool yet so I don't think they will start now. I'm still mad about the first set they put out=junk. Can't be cheap enough for me to touch. Thumbs down green crappy tool company.
Having mechanical chuck seems to be in the right direction. Even Milwaukee went back to mechanical chuck! I just received this drill and opened the box. As long as I feel, based on my short experience with DCD800 and DCF887, this Ryobi feels way better made. Solid fit. Yet missing some coushion pads around the foot pad. It does not seem to be any big issue for a lightweight(?) users, though, since they won't be using this drill in any hardcore environment frequently. Also, the battery footpad(?) is large enough. The metal chuck and clutch selector feels really nice! Especially the mechanical clutch clicks like 'quality' every time. I have never expected this from Ryobi and beginning to consider switching entire platform from DeWalt to Ryobi HP. Well, I will still keep DCF850 if the shift ever happens though. I got this drill with the impact kit just because of the hammer function with the auxiliary handle and the brushless motor. Sure, I could have stayed with DeWalt platform for this purchase. But their high-end 900 series seems to be a bit outdated (no auto-stop, dinosaur size, and pricy) in design and too powerful for amateurs like me who even felt DeWalt 20V drills are too much and preferring 12V as a go-to. Sure, this drill is even heavier than DCD800. Yet, the aux handle seems to be negating the problem well. The small notch on the grip feels ok for me. At least I don't have to drill thousands of holes a day with this. So, I am not keen on the grip comfort, though. I tried gripping it inverted, pulling the trigger with pinky but didn't feel too much of obsecure sense. I would rather point out the thicker ankle area which is huge compared to anything DeWalt 12V stuff. Yet, again, I'm not very keen on this matter. I have a few caveats though, one is the chager... no, not the charging speed or anything electrical but the outlet plug connector is the notorious brick type... takes up at least 3 of outlet extender slots! Yes, I hate these kind of fat plug in brick connectors! My lawn mower, also Ryobi, charger isn't like this! AVGN tone: What were they thinking! Another caveat is not coming with any belt clips nor bit holding slot accessories. I saw some previous generation Ryobi drills came with those, well not exactly but internally, and even magnetic bit holders on the foot! It's kind of annlying having to source them separately. I bet there will be some 3rd party ones, though. Lastlly, the drill seems a bit chubby and longer than anything I have (DeWalts, mostly.) So, I will not be using it any odd situation at all. But then again, I still have 12V DeWalts for this.
Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
Idk why these tools are called DIY guy tools, I use this same drill day in day out in industrial settings and it runs along side the Milwaukee no problem.
itll be available here in UK in 5 years time LOL, it pisses me off when Ryobi tools dont come over to the UK, i was the new SDS and this but no answers when i ask ryobi USA and ryobi UK if they will come to the UK
@@WorkshopAddict didn’t like them I do have the one handed Recip and 3 inch cut off tool didn’t like the drill and impact driver of the hp series I’ll stick with my p238 3 speed and the 750 inch pound brushless hammer drill
Stopped watching at "as far as I know, this is the first ryobi drill with an auxiliary handle. It's not even the second, let alone the first. They have both a regular brushed hammer drill as well as a brushless hammer.
No issue bud. I normally look at construction grade tools and I am not an expert in Ryobi. This is the first Ryobi I have ever seen with a side handle. Enjoy your day!
@@WorkshopAddict I remember probably 16 years ago some old timer with all Ryobi (Cords), saying he's had them for years, and never had an issue with them, that was at a Glass Company I worked for, obviously everyone else and me had Dewalt... And all these Years later, not having worked Construction for 5 years, I needed to Buy some power tools to build a house for myself, although maybe just a Shed this Year (Wood Prices), and I found the Ryobi HP the most bang for my Buck! And would consider them an Entry Level Professional Tool! I frankly don't have the True Need for some DeWalt Max's anymore, but I did have a need for something powerful enough that won't break! While also having staying power, and a Large Product Line, so in years from now I will still be able to buy new batteries that fit or other tools that work with those batteries. And I think a Young Guy just entering the Trade and needing X amount of Tools, surely could get Ryobi's HP Line ig the DeWalt Max's were just rationally to far out of the Price Range!
I have watched some of this guys reviews and they’re usually pretty good. This one he seems to show a lot of bias towards Ryobi. I can’t tell if he is saying the tool is good or just downright DIY trailer park junk. Maybe someone at Ryobi rejected his advances?
I’m not ashamed to say I couldn’t figure out how to attach the handle to the hammer drill. Thanks for showing me :-)
Good review. I bought the last Ryobi brushless hammer drill a few years ago when it was offered with the two batteries and a free tool. It’s still meets my needs.

Well, like other tool brands that don't have that feature, there's always 3rd party options that you can either adapt or what till someone targets the Ryobi HP line... For example...
i.ebayimg.com/images/g/w88AAOSw8Updkdl3/s-l300.jpg
I agree. Ever since they came out with the new hp line I've always complained about the mag trey. I always use it. When you upgrade you shouldn't take away the good features of the old one
That's one reason that I might switch to milwaukee. Cause milwaukee doesn't have the mag trey either and it performs so much better
Thanks for your honest review I am a DIY kinda guy and I appreciate the time and effort you spend to make these fair constructive reviews.

Anyone worth their salt shouldn't bash you much because your right. I can however see a inexperienced person trying to run a larger bit in low gear with and ending up with a sprained or broken wrist.

old ryobi user here, im really impress with this new drill i was gona buy milwakee but for less mmoney its really good drill
I really think Ryobi have come a long way. Some of their tools still have some issues, and some of their tools still are outright bad, but most of their stuff is getting really good, and they show alot of willingness to improve. For instance, their old brushless hammer drill was pretty good, powerfull motor (apart from a bit too aggressive overload protection) but the chuck was really bad and would let go of anything i put in there sooner or later.

Also have this sneaky feeling that much of the quality uplift is from using stuff from older generation Milwaukees. Alot if the build materials seems to be the exact same. If that is true then the trickling down of older, but higher quality tech is awesome for consumers. Sure its not industrial grade, but its miles above the average IKEA drill or whatever someone would buy just for the sake of having a drill. I'm pretty sure that "regular" people collectively buy alot more tools than professionals do, so better technology at better prices affect ALOT of people out there!
@alex ander Hard to tell without looking at it but im guessing either overheating or issue with the battery maybe?
@alex ander sounds like a lemon mate, or bad battery ive used and abused the drill and impact and both are still going strong
Thank you for reviewing batteries
Outstanding video. A couple of points. It seems that the HP tools with the extra prongs seem to work pretty good where as the HP tools without the extra prongs simply don't impress. Second I think at least the brushless tools from Ryobi are good enough to build a house. However, I said a house not houses. I don't believe no matter what they claim their not professional grade tools to used hard day in and day out. Just my opinion YMMV. And last the famed 1911 has the best trigger.
I like your review you speak on safety and the truth of your usage on the drill
I have this tool and I love the grip, it fits my hand perfectly
It's not cutting out due to lack of power. It's doing it to prevent you from ripping your arm off. It's a built in feature, I'm surprised you don't know this.
some of us home owners like myself are former construction workers, form and frame carpentry, sewer and gas in groun pipe lines, and some years in residential/commercial a/c duct mechanic work,, duct board and sheet metal, former over the road truck driver and u.s. army vet, i've got tons of tools
The 6ah batterie that I have, both older and the newest ones, both have the extra contacts. I have this drill and the one that was slightly older. Good video.
Ironically i didnt like the finger slots at first on HP when I got them but now I like them alot once I got used to them.
Ryobi has had at least 2 other drills that have had auxiliary handles. I would assume at least one or two more, such as their brushed hammerdrill with 600+" lbs, but I personally own two that have auxiliary handles, one (old) also had a depth gauge
Have the same hammer drill, and I love the handle and grip. That’s my preference though. Great review.
How do you like the drill so far im getting it tomorrow drilling thru concrete walls tapcons
Love it. Using it for a fence extension on a concrete wall and have had zero problems. I got it free with the Ryobi days deal with 3 batteries, so can’t complain.
@@robertkeenan9706 same haha and yea i went from stolen dewalt to ryobi hp so far it stands to the daily abuse even outpowering some ppl with dewalt at work so im sure this drill will be nice. Old heads that never tried it will think its shit tho till i peove them wrong everytime
Ive used the sawzall daily for hours almost nonestop demoing whole apartments no hiccup for months
I’m just a DIY guy, but I have Milwaukee and Dewalt stuff as well, but I’m good with the Ryobi. Always been good to me.
Love the pew pew reference.
Just curious because I heard you mention it in the video. Is the drill gearbox housing that the aux handle clamps on made from aluminum or plastic? That's kind of the deciding factor for me because I have the old drill and with heavy use the plastic housing broke down and made the chuck wobble so much its basically useless now.
It clamps to an aluminum like material. It is a common cast material used in tools.
Try scratching little bit with just a tip of sharp blade. Metallic paint will reveal green plastic below. Metal housing will expose shiny metal below oxidized layer. Tiny tiny scratch is sufficient :)
It seems this is the most secretive thing about new drills :D OK, they will get to shops in two weeks time, and we will know anyway
Confirmed, the drill has a metal housing that the author handle attaches to.
I’m confused. You’re referring to the “old hp battery” as different from the “new high performance battery”? Is it not the same just with different labeling?
From my understanding . this new line of Ryobi. Is there pro end. Not diy. I've seen it preform better than a few Dewalt. 😁😁😁
LMAO. Thanks for the laugh.
Facts bro i had someone witb a dewalt burn up in smoke ina hot day my ryobi hp kept kicking ...hp is the future i went from dewalt couple yesrs afo to Ryobi hp everything!
@@DirtySouthFlorida3 damn straight
*their
I've got a blue sawzall that beat a dewalt by a mile. Wasn't the flexvolt beast obviously but I definitely wasn't the cheap shit one.
Thanks for the video. I got the brushed version of the non hammer version of this. I'm struggling to go through a brick so I started to look for masonry bits but I'm not sure if my drill is capable of it. It's an old red brick. Would you share your opinion with me? Thanks in advance!
You will need a hammer drill.
@@WorkshopAddict thank you!
I have a bosch hammer drill should I buy this or will it be a waste of money it is not side handle compatible but I really only bought it to replace my old ryobi drill that did not have a 2 speed switch thoughts?
One "OMG RUclips Comment's prove you wrong!" correction: The prior generation (P251) came with an (awkward) Auxiliary handle which could be faced either left or right through the plastic body above the trigger. The new handle is what they should have done the first time.
I promise to never be perfect on my videos!
the P220 drill had a 360 handle and was their only 3speed drill as far as i know, things a beast. had it for years and it'll still wipe the floor with most drills.
@@wolfie965 I use to have the blue p211 Ryobi it had that same screw on to the housing auxiliary handle hated that hammer drill it was for work that's what they gave me and one of my jobs it wouldn't let me use anything but that because it was registered or something
@@bluemantom77 oh that sucks, the p220 handle was actually a friction ring style, it slipped on the housing and you tightened the handle down in any position you could desire.
Would you recommend this or the SDS rotary for drilling holes/tapcon on cinder block wall?
SDS65 model
1/8" holes? This will do it.
How does this drill compare to the the Milwaukee M18 brushless hammer drill? The non-fuel version that is.
Been waiting on this one and the 4 mode impact
I get the impression that you are not a big fan of Ryobi. No prob - there are tools for everybody’s interests and price range!
I love Milwaukee, but for the price, Ryobi is hard to beat!
You are neglecting the temperature of the drill swapping batteries. Wonder what would happen if the drill itself could cool down before the battery swap.
My brushless Ryobi hammer drill comes with a handle but it's hookey goes through a hole into the plastic housing.
Good review. I have to ask tho if it's a locking chuck, your actually supposed to torque it down then one click back to actually lock it down. I mean you didn't do that and it still retained it. You were stating it didnt spit out the large bit like others drills have. Is the one click back method correct or some b.s.
99 percent of people never do the one click back. I have had some engineers tell me the one click back used to be true and is not anymore and some say to do it. I cannot get a straight answer, so I used this like many DIY people would, no click back. It held the bit better than many others. If it would have been an issues I would have done the one click back and worked to prove it.
@@WorkshopAddict awesome, thanks for the info. Yeah, I was wondering as well I couldnt get a consistant answer either. Some say yes some say it doesnt matter.
I'm late to this discussion, but I've found the click-back to be useless. Here's a test - crank down the chuck, then click it back. Run the drill in reverse at full speed for a second. It un-clicks itself. I can't see the click back locking anything, and if it did, it'd be considered a feature that they'd advertise.
@@JulianA-tr6pt I've got the same ryobi and it works, although tbf the biggest bit I have is a 1in spade lol.
@@bread-gz3rl It actually doesn't un-click itself, I just wasn't twisting it back far enough.
But the click-back actually doesn't do anything, which is what I assumed and observed. Watch the two recent AvE videos about this. He responds to the clickbait-y video about the "secret drill chuck feature", pulls up a patent diagram, and eventually cuts open the chuck,
The biggest hint is the fact that manufacturers don't advertise this as a feature, which they absolutely would do if it were one.
the first one was way back when ryobi hit the shelf's I had both the old 14.4 volt contractors hammer drill with handle and the 18 volt version that came out 2 years latter loved them thats when they had 2 tiers the diy and the contractor versions .....
My Ridgid hammer drill has the same handle. I actually really like how it attaches, it's very easy to use.
I understand your concern under the "safety" banner, but I think a person would have to be an idiot to not be able to secure the handle properly.
Keep up the great reviews.
When will we get to see Jeff back? Your videos together are always fun to watch. I always enjoy the banter.
The Ridgid attaches with more gusto. Jeff has some major family issues and needs some time to get his life straight. Hoping that happens sooner than later.
@@WorkshopAddict Thank you for the reply.
Please give him my best, I will keep him in my prayers.
There are some people that don't think out there if you expect more from people your asking to much and will be disappointed.
I hope they bring this line-up to Australia.. I need a new hammer drill :(
I think the Dewalt 996 has a fairly short auxiliary handle too.
Great review, by the way.
I don't drill anything over 1inch on high even on a Dewalt or Milwaukee. Lower speed, higher torque equals longer life of tools. Even then the drill will sometimes bind up exiting the other side of the board.
I have ryobi batteries, so bought this as a mud mixer doing sheetrock. They're just basic 4ah batteries in it, but on speed one, it spins the mud fine. Those are full boxes into a five gallon bucket, with full size whip. It makes a great cordless mud mixer.
I got this drill in a kit battery and charger and it dose not come with a HP battery, it comes with their new 4 amp battery not a HP battery . This drill is one of the best drills I'v had in 30 years as a cabinet maker and is way more powerful then my old Makita that it replaced I just hope it lasts as long as it did?
What happened 2 the old drill driver kits
Great video. Any chance you had a comparison video to Ryobi's compact hammer drill? Their model number PSBHM01B.
The forstner shank is round instead of hex and it slips in my drill. How did you overcome that problem?
lol tighten it down well enough haaa... but forreal, it's bet to use a lil extension w the screws to hold the bit in place w forstener bits
@@dabmanian_devil I sold my ryobi drill and now I only have an electric screw driver and impact driver. I like them more than the drill because there are drill bits with hex shaft that I can swap out bits quickly and never worry about it getting loose and drop off.
Just bought one yesterday and I can't get the chuck to open....will close nicely but not budging to the right in order to get a bit in! I wanna scream.
These new ryobi tools are BAD as in awesome. got the new 4 1/2 one+ HP cordless grinder with a 4ah battery and it out performs my buddies Milwaukee with a 5ah battery. I'm very impressed with this new line of ryobi tools and plan on replacing all my cordless tools with these new one+ HP tools. You just cant beat the performance to price ratio.
On the chuck, man caver tools pointed out that after you tighten it up that you turn it back one notch it locks it. I don't know if it is true? I don't own one yet but I will.
Look at the similarity with the new HP 4ah battery, if you look close the battery indicator is exactly the same as the existing ridgid batteries. The chuck seems real similar too.
Ridgid tools are built in the same factory, designed by the same engineers and use a lot of common spare parts.
the new rigid tools just dropping rn are thee exact same as these hps,, look at there new 7 1/4 saw,, the same top ti bottom as the ryobi hp,, hell even their new impact wrench is a carbon copy of the newer hp ones,,, and the hps are just as strong (both max out at 600 640 ft/lbs)
Hey thanks for the review but how would you rate this one to the other Ryobi brushless hammer drill. Like does it have more power , speed etc . I have the old but I'm afraid to upgrade if there's not much of a difference
There is a lot of difference boi don't worry
I like the grip. I have p215vn and it has that grip and the draw back is the single sleeve plastic Chuck
Isn't HP high performance?
Cred for the Benchmade knife.
Good review
I agree
Will it work on my Strikemaster ice auger?
I've always stated in my own videos that Ryobi is geared for the homeowner.... however it seems that with their new lineup they are making a run at competing with other contractor tools....After all they are manufactured by TTI industries as is Milwaukee so it makes sense they are trying to compete
These are still homeowner tools and would not last on the jobsite.
@@WorkshopAddict .... Not saying they would I'm just simply saying they are improving in that category... they are distancing themselves more and more from other home owner brands such as craftsman.... Kobalt.... and porter cable.... they are getting more in the realm Of say Ridgid or maybe even Dewalt....Brands like Makita and Milwaukee Are still in a category of their own
@@devilefan IMHO, they are still no where near Ridgid's reliability. If I were to test this tool like I would a Ridgid or Dewalt, we would see a smoke show. Literally. Seen it on a few of these already.
@@WorkshopAddict ....Again not saying they are I just said they are getting "in that realm"....They are definitely better now then they were and much better than the other three brands I mentioned in the homeowner category
@@WorkshopAddict Bullshit! Commercial/industrial electrician for 25+ yrs now. Been using Ryobi on the job site since they were blue circa 2004/05 before lithium packs appeared in 09. My original core tools were drill/hammer drill, the incredible $69 "tool only" impact driver, and the sawzall. Sawzall trigger safety switch sucked balls so I just jammed a small screw to keep it closed but the tools were great and I abuse the crap out of my tools. Before Ryobi I had every major brand but Makita. Had Dewalt since the first 12V pistol drill, then Porter Cable before they gayed out(getting better recently)and did the good but really expensive Milwaukee thing. Yeah, I got ribbed for my homeowner tools but I was just as productive and could buy just the tool back then.
I just bought this hammer drill. I was hoping to see something about the hammer only setting. No one in my family can figure out how to get it in hammer mode. I'm wondering if mine is defective.
but gur1s hated Ryobi and love Milwaukee tho
When will this new model be available for purchase? Im looking to buy a new hammer drill since my old one died.
Should be out in the next two weeks unless you can talk one out of your favorite home depot guy. The stores have them.
Is this the P251?
During all these test if I’m not mistaken you were doing it in speed two now maybe it’s just me but shouldn’t you go to speed one with a bigger bit
I am doing this stuff to prove the power of the drill.
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I’m trying to decide between craftsman and Ryobi but watching your video has made the decision for me so Ryobi hands down. Thank you for making these videos they are very helpful.
@@keithhoward8651 Glad we could help. This drill should just be getting in the stores. Make sure you buy this model number as it is light years ahead of other Ryobi models.
Just became a subscriber looking forward to more great videos. Keep up the good work.
@@keithhoward8651 Thank you. We have some recent Ryobi vs Craftsman stuff out if you are looking.
Could you confirm that gear housing is aluminum cast and not painted plastic? All the previous versions of Ryobi drills had plastic painted in metalic paint. This would be the first one. However i would assume that such a major improvement would be advertised, and Ryobi stays silent on this.
I will take a knife to it tomorrow and confirm.
@@WorkshopAddict thank you! You can compare to impact driver, which is cast aluminum for sure.
@@WorkshopAddict fun fact: on european market brushless jigsaw is exactly the same as on american market, but is painted in metallic paint. Why? Europeans distrust plastic much more than Americans, and even lower tier european competiton like Erbauer (similar or even lower price point, their jigsaw is ca. 60$ before taxes) sell their jigsaws with cast aluminum main body (which is much stiffer and helps precision of the cuts, but in the same time more expensive than just a metal plate hold in plastic body). Ryobi decided to compete with just an appearance :)
Ryobi painted plastic with metallic paint on US market as well, for example brushless angle grinder has half of the body painted despite having proper, cast aluminum gear housing. I do not understand this particular design desicion, because nobody makes aluminum body angle grinders this days and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
This is why im interested with the new drill: on photos the color matches the color of impact driver gear housing, which is aluminum cast and is heavily advertised as such. But is it true metal, or there is dirty secret below the layer of paint?
Anyway, you can trust no one this days :)
I can confirm it's made out of cast aluminum
How does this compare to the Milwaukee M18 compact brushless (non-fuel) hammer drill. Model 2902-22. Same price bare tool and the specs are identical.
It's about the same as the gen 2 brushless drill driver
will the drill also be available in europe?
Great video. Thank you!
Trying to find a video where the hammer in hammer drill is used on masonry/concrete.
Interesting... I might try this tool
I love Ryobi snatched up the first brushless drill/ hammer drill. Performance was excellent but the all keyless metal chuck they used was crap. I tried and failed to remove the chuck to install a nice version from an old Dewalt xtr 18V. Could never get the original off without feeling I was break something. Rubber mallet with Allen key inserted and chuck tightened. Brain wants to say reverse threaded removal but don't remember 100% ATM. I did check before trying the several times I didn't before giving up. Might try some focused heat on the fastener with a soldering iron for a while to loosen the epoxy, ehmm, locktite. If not drill and remove with an easy out.
Hi is on the same level as the milwaukee 2804? Am looking to buy a drill driver for my husband.
Not at all on the same level. Milwaukee has much more durability and a better warranty.
@@WorkshopAddict Thanks for the info!!
@@WorkshopAddict What is the difference between the 2803-20 and 2804-20?
Am wondering if I should wait for a new version of the 2804 to come out to buy him since these seem to be made a few years ago. What do you think?
@@stavroulaeconomou7256 2803 is a drill driver only. 2804 is a hammer drill. 2804 is a solid and reliable drill. We are seeing very little new coming out right now so I would not wait if he can use it now.
@@WorkshopAddict The 2804 hammer drill function can be turned off and used as a regular drill driver Or is it only a hammer drill?
Thanks
Why didn't you used 3 amp with 21700 cells with new 4amp
Great question! Per my ryobi contact, that is an old battery that will not be made in the future. It could be wrong. Bit the info I was given
I mean, according to a lot of people, _all_ of Ryobi's tools are "DIY" tools. It hasn't stopped them from making me money on nearly every job site over the last fifteen years but there are still those who insist I need to replace them all with "real" tools, anyway. I'll probably pick up this "DIY" hammer drill when mine finally craps out. Then again, there will probably be at least one more version before that happens.
15 years ago, Ryobi made great tools. Since the blue went away, the quality has went down and down. Since Ryobi sold to Kyocera in 2018 and TTI leases the name, it has sunk even further. So you get people who made money with the older tools and love them and the new people who burn up a new tool in 3 weeks and hate them. It is all about the experience, but with the new tools, it wont take long to change your mind.
@@WorkshopAddict I can't say that I agree. I didn't say I only own blue Ryobis. I can say with some authority that my newer, HP recip saw is significantly better than the blue recip it replaced (finally crapped out a month ago). All of my green drills are better than my OG blue drill by a _wide_ margin. Yes, even the first green drill (which I still have). Jigsaw vs jigsaw, green wins. Shop vac vs shop vacs, green again. Miter saw vs miter saws, all green, all day.
Don't get me wrong, my blue tools have served me well for a long time but my green tools are a definite improvement in most cases. The one exception would be the blue 5.5" circular saw vs the green 6.5". The balance sucks on the green and only gets worse when you add a bigger battery. The blue saw is perfectly balanced and with its rear battery mount, doesn't change when you add a bigger battery.
I've upgraded my whole tool setup to these all new hp tools, and I use em daily demoing and refabbing houses for airbnbs,, and I can say that while most my coworkers wanna say ohh they ain't as tough as my Milwaukees Dewalts whatevs,,, but they javent failed me once in anything,, and I've actually gotten a few to try em and I ve had 2 say they like the new hp 4 mode impact driver and impact wrench over his rigid octanes, and the angle grinder and one hand recip saw over his Milwaukees... while I know most veiw ryobi as diy,,, I think that's just biased from years of subpar lines,,, but anyone who try these hps out will def admit they're stepping up into AT LEAST tha pro-sumer level... give em like another year or 2 to drop a more broadened lineup of hp tools to match the big box brands',, and they'll be a easy contender w their performance and pricing... lol I got 11 hp tools w 5 hp batteries for less than a Milwaukee 5 tool set price.... and I can def live w that loll
question, on the hp hammer drill,, does the silver ring at the front of the chuck (where it says 0- 1/2 inch or whatevs) spin freely on its own? I'm not sure if it's meant to or if mine just got knocked loose ... doesn't affect functionality at all,,, but I just never noticed it till like a week ago, n never had prior drills to do that.
@@dabmanian_devil Yes, it spins free intentionally. Companies like DeWalt have had that feature for a long time. It reduces the chance of marring the surface of your work if the chuck happens to come into contact with it.
Are you saying the Milwaukee Hole hog is not a DIY or Harry the Homeowner drill?
(Smiling) Yes, I think that the Milwaukee Hole Hawg is not a drill that most inexperienced home owners would or should buy. LOL
It’s a beast
What cells 2170?
18650 per the ryobi dude.
It be interesting to see how the same drill and bits preformed in hardwood!!!
Pretty sure that would be a no go.
To be fair with Ryobi idk if the Milwaukee M18 gen 3 will spin it too (I'm talking about the 3" one)
I know ryobi is not a professional tool brand, still a lot of professionals use them everyday, specially when we have to provide our own tools for the jobs
The brushless and HP are very good, plus they are less likely to get stolen on site
@@BennyBestt I had to buy ryobi because they are cheaper to replace when they get stolen, I've had them stolen too. But ryobi gets the job done, and the hp aee as awesome as you say
@@LuisGarcia-zi9id they sure are, all the best mate, hope you are all safe and happy wherever you are. Cheers
I didn't know there were entire groups of people who couldn't use Glocks until gen 5
There have been 2 other drills with handles but not very good ones
I think you maybe should break out the tougher tests, just to see what this drill is fully capable of? (:
He can't. That Ryobi tool is pure junk. They haven't ever made a good tool yet so I don't think they will start now. I'm still mad about the first set they put out=junk. Can't be cheap enough for me to touch. Thumbs down green crappy tool company.
@@Freon1969 You're funny
@@Freon1969 thx for the meme
@@Freon1969 are we just gonna ignore my blue sawzall that got ran over by a F150 at like 25kmh
Is it my imagination or is the battery a slightly different shape on the bottom?
The new High Performance batteries have a different shape on the bottom.
It’s still a diy tool even they say it’s not some of them still go up in smoke depending on the tool.
The plastic style chucks work fine on just a plain drill driver
Having mechanical chuck seems to be in the right direction. Even Milwaukee went back to mechanical chuck!
I just received this drill and opened the box. As long as I feel, based on my short experience with DCD800 and DCF887, this Ryobi feels way better made. Solid fit. Yet missing some coushion pads around the foot pad. It does not seem to be any big issue for a lightweight(?) users, though, since they won't be using this drill in any hardcore environment frequently. Also, the battery footpad(?) is large enough.
The metal chuck and clutch selector feels really nice! Especially the mechanical clutch clicks like 'quality' every time. I have never expected this from Ryobi and beginning to consider switching entire platform from DeWalt to Ryobi HP. Well, I will still keep DCF850 if the shift ever happens though.
I got this drill with the impact kit just because of the hammer function with the auxiliary handle and the brushless motor. Sure, I could have stayed with DeWalt platform for this purchase. But their high-end 900 series seems to be a bit outdated (no auto-stop, dinosaur size, and pricy) in design and too powerful for amateurs like me who even felt DeWalt 20V drills are too much and preferring 12V as a go-to.
Sure, this drill is even heavier than DCD800. Yet, the aux handle seems to be negating the problem well. The small notch on the grip feels ok for me. At least I don't have to drill thousands of holes a day with this. So, I am not keen on the grip comfort, though. I tried gripping it inverted, pulling the trigger with pinky but didn't feel too much of obsecure sense. I would rather point out the thicker ankle area which is huge compared to anything DeWalt 12V stuff. Yet, again, I'm not very keen on this matter.
I have a few caveats though, one is the chager... no, not the charging speed or anything electrical but the outlet plug connector is the notorious brick type... takes up at least 3 of outlet extender slots! Yes, I hate these kind of fat plug in brick connectors! My lawn mower, also Ryobi, charger isn't like this! AVGN tone: What were they thinking!
Another caveat is not coming with any belt clips nor bit holding slot accessories. I saw some previous generation Ryobi drills came with those, well not exactly but internally, and even magnetic bit holders on the foot! It's kind of annlying having to source them separately. I bet there will be some 3rd party ones, though.
Lastlly, the drill seems a bit chubby and longer than anything I have (DeWalts, mostly.) So, I will not be using it any odd situation at all. But then again, I still have 12V DeWalts for this.
Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
Wonder what the 9ah would do....🤯🤯🤯
Idk why these tools are called DIY guy tools, I use this same drill day in day out in industrial settings and it runs along side the Milwaukee no problem.
Cool, you know gun's. You must change the triggers on your Glocks if you're a trigger snob.
Ryobi p251 has handle
Hammer drill with 4ah battery and charger $159 as of today
old brushless came with a handle. a crappy one but it had it
Well they did not improve much then.
Its the same one as their old brushed model.
I used my old brushless for ice auger for 2 yrs, no complaints for the price.
Lo acabo de comprar ❤
itll be available here in UK in 5 years time LOL, it pisses me off when Ryobi tools dont come over to the UK, i was the new SDS and this but no answers when i ask ryobi USA and ryobi UK if they will come to the UK
It is the third hammer drill they made with a handle
I quickly learned i was wrong.... In looking at the others, this is the only good one.
You're not inserting the bits correctly. You're supposed to turn the chuck one click counter clockwise after adjusting to the tightest setting.
Thats a big ole big for that little drill🤣
And it turned it. I was surprised.
@@WorkshopAddict Was a good test to try.

Stopped watching at "as far as I know, this is the first ryobi drill with an auxiliary handle. It's not even the second, let alone the first. They have both a regular brushed hammer drill as well as a brushless hammer.
No issue bud. I normally look at construction grade tools and I am not an expert in Ryobi. This is the first Ryobi I have ever seen with a side handle. Enjoy your day!
@@WorkshopAddict I remember probably 16 years ago some old timer with all Ryobi (Cords), saying he's had them for years, and never had an issue with them, that was at a Glass Company I worked for, obviously everyone else and me had Dewalt... And all these Years later, not having worked Construction for 5 years, I needed to Buy some power tools to build a house for myself, although maybe just a Shed this Year (Wood Prices), and I found the Ryobi HP the most bang for my Buck! And would consider them an Entry Level Professional Tool! I frankly don't have the True Need for some DeWalt Max's anymore, but I did have a need for something powerful enough that won't break! While also having staying power, and a Large Product Line, so in years from now I will still be able to buy new batteries that fit or other tools that work with those batteries. And I think a Young Guy just entering the Trade and needing X amount of Tools, surely could get Ryobi's HP Line ig the DeWalt Max's were just rationally to far out of the Price Range!
They had them on the blue hammer drills years ago lmao
I have watched some of this guys reviews and they’re usually pretty good. This one he seems to show a lot of bias towards Ryobi. I can’t tell if he is saying the tool is good or just downright DIY trailer park junk. Maybe someone at Ryobi rejected his advances?
I get hammered on by the day crowd for beating up tools too much. This is a good drill. Not commercial, but a good drill. Probably ryobis best to date
Burned up 2 Ryobi HP hammer drills😡
You Need A 9 Amp Ryobi Battery
That is why I stuck with Gen 2 Glock.
Maybe this isn't just a diy drill
