excellent item love it
does exactly what i need it for as battery life is much longer than the other branded one had
This is a pretty basic tool for the contemporary toolbox, but it seems to be a great combination of price and capabilities. I bought it for a decking project (I think my neighbour might have been at the end of his patience with my borrowing his kit) and it did everything I required without fuss. Battery capacity is fine, and I was more than able to charge the second whilst using the first at the rate I work. I am very happy with the capabilities and build quality.
Perfect. Both batteries Rrived charged. Been using for masonry, wood and a power driver, all good. Not too heavy.
Great value.
I brought this because my older ryobi drill batteries and charger have broken but not the drill itself and it worked out much cheaper to buy this bundle than to buy the batteries and charger on their own
This drill is much better than my older ryobi as it has a setting to drive screws in which my old one didn’t if your a diy person I would recommend this as it’s good value for money
Very easy to use and has good suction, very good value
What a good tool for the amateur. Easy on the hand and simple to use.
Previously bought a lower power own brand from toolstation, returned it and bought this.
the torque us much better and in general the old motto rings true, you get what you pay for, this is mid range and priced accordingly.
it’s defo enough for most activities the DIY range extends to.
it’s slightly heavier than expected but ok, and as per other reviews the charging is not the fastest- longevity is ok for standard use though.
overall, so far it’s good and worth the money.
I have been using this drill for a while and whilst new to the brand i must say i am very pleased.
The drill like many is easy to use, but it has a wide power and speed control which makes all jobs easy. I love the light and the simple locking mechanism.
The charger is very good.
Overall the best drill i have owned.
Excellent beginners drill set. Comes with charger and battery. Battery lasts for ages and settings on the drill feel very professional.
brought the drill because it came with 2 batteries . but well pleased with the drill it self
Was always going to be dubious re any power tool purchase but was no need to worry this piece of equipment is amazing
Hammer drill fab drill function fab and screwdriver so much control
2 batteries tho only needed second one when literally had on almost constant for hours fitting my kitchen
Cannot praise enough
I’ve just unpacked my drill an hour ago, Just drilled 10 6MM holes 30mm deep in a mill stone grit wall and have had no problems, that was straight from the box with charge that was in the battery. I think the people that are giving bad reviews on drill brick work, need to get the right drill bit for the job, cheap drill don’t work. You only get what you pay for. I should think this drill will full fill all my requirement and it a lot lighter than my old one, I’ll give it 10/10.
Worth spending extra and getting a good quality drill that will last you. This one is grea
Does what it says on the tin, excellent bit of kit.
The drill is sturdy but still light enough that it doesn’t make your arm ache. The battery life has been amazing once fully charged it lasts and lasts. Easy to use instructions for all types of drilling. This pack contains 2 batteries so you can charge one while using one. Comes with a handy Phillips and cross head screwdriver bit that secures to the drill for safekeeping. A great ‘take anywhere’ purchase that doesn’t rely on mains supply. Thoroughly recommend.
Great for small jobs around the home. Not really ‘man’ enough for brick and masonry
Should have purchased it years ago replaced a old cordless drill . Performance way way better than my old one ,even when old one was new. 2 batteries look no furthe
Great little cordless drill with a great range of ability. Seems to have completely replaced my old corded drill as it is lighter, more controllable, and more comfortable in the hand. A truly competent piece of kit which oozes quality. Comes with two 1.5Ah batteries which are relatively low capacity on paper but I have not managed to run one out to ’empty’ yet.
I absolutely love this bit of kit, the fact it comes with two batteries is an added bonus. It’s not too heavy for me and it’s my pride and joy in my girl shed
Returned, due to the battery charge time being too long
Fantastic, I have always been a fan of Ryobi …… but after being robbed I am rebuilding my power tools and due to the quality of this product I will be building with Ryobi
Well worth the money. And dose what it says on the tin.
Great value performance drill. Good range of batteries available. Will cope with any work expected of Battery Drill. Buyers will not be disappointed.
One of the best purchases I have made. Fantastic drill. Very well balanced. Battery life OK and spare always kept charged. Very amateur DIY-er but coped great with TV wall bracket/shelving holes into brick and wood drilling. Also bought the 40 piece screwdriver attachment kit.
This is a good drill ,lots of torque but slow charging means you need two batteries !.
Good bit of kit and powerful for a cordless machine. Having 2 batteries excellent if lots of work to do
Bought this to use around the home.
It is Small and Light but packs a Mighty Punch whether you are drilling into masonry or wood it delivers
Great for DIY you can do all the jobs you will ever need to do, building and wood. Haven’t tried metal but I can’t see any probs
Bought for hubby as he wanted to go over to this brand as 1 battery fits all, he’s made up with it, came with 2 batteries as well as charger, great quality and the battery life is brilliant! He said he highly recommends it!
Brilliant! Powerful (drills stainless with ease), comfortable to use, nicely balanced, and having multiple battery packs interchangeable with other tools is genius… my mains powered drills are unlikely to leave the cupboard ever again!!
Really impressed with this drill, I think its value for money is excellent had no issue with power. Recently put up TV wall braket, I had to drill 5 10mm, 8cm deep wholes into solid brick and had absolutely no issue. There was also plenty of power left over. Feels very sturdy and charges fast. I’m only a very simple DIY-er but this far more than I need. Highly reccomend.
Got this for my son to help him when he started his Electricians apprenticeship.It does what he needs it to do & more.
Good reliable brand with a spare battery so you always have a charged one (or if you want to buy another “bare” ryobi tool you can use two implements at once!)
Can’t really say more than that really, good bright LED for those shadowy corners or cabinets!
Anyway, this drill turned out to be miles better than the old drill, far more powerful, 2 speed gearbox turned it into a serious screwdriver. Good speed control. Really solid build. Excellent chuck. Just a totally different league. I’ve not got out my (old but superb) 700w corded hammer drill since I bought this cordless, its up for most stuff (even 10mm bit drilling through hardwood plywood was really easy)
It came with a couple of 1.5AH batteries and a charger. Never yet found out how hard to have to use it to flatten even one battery, and it did jobs that easily killed off the old drill batteries. It does take quite a while to recharge a battery. For me that does not matter a jot but not sure about professional day long use.
Anyway an excellent drill, very happy, they’ve now got me looking at their other stuff that uses the same batteries.

Great price for a branded cordless drill with 2 batteries (I paid 75). Haven’t had a chance to use it much but I’ve tested it and all seems good. It only came with a double headed screwdriver bit but I’m fine with that as the drill bits you normally get free with these tend to be of low quality and don’t last long. The 1.5AH batteries should be plenty good enough for most DIYers although professional users will most likely want to invest in some of the heavier duty ones.
Update:
After a few months of very light duties, one of the two supplied batteries became faulty and wouldn’t charge. I contacted Ryobi and they sent me a replacement battery by return. Good service from them, just hope that the other battery doesn’t go the same way.
I was able to drill 12mm 60mm deep holes for shield anchor bolts in a brick wall with relative ease despite it was close to the maximal bit diameter for this drill. Wasn’t sure this drill will manage, but decided to take a gamble instead of buying a more powerful (and twice as expensive) model, and have no regrets.
Comparing to my old drill without a hammer action it’s a completely different experience. One+ system where you use the same battery with different tools is also great for a DIYer.
simple to understand, and has the power for the average DIY like myself, doing home repairs….
Nice drill . Did every task I needed it for brilliantly . Would recommend
I like everything about this purchase, good value,i paid a lot more for my older different make , battery life great an 2 batteries, can access small places, not to heavy, recommended to anyone
Fab DIY tool – best drill I’ve owned for household and garden jobs. Latest job boarding out the loft – job done.
Bought to use on a job in the kitchen which would prove awkward with a normal plug in drill. Completed the job over a few days on one charge, and without losing any power. Slightly heavier than my previous cordless drill, but no problem. Glad I chose this drill.!
Have had and used Ryobi products before and always found them good value, robust and reliable, great for DIY projects.
Like I say, it seems OK but I haven’t used it yet – I like the ligh
I had a Black Decker drill that costs just a little bit less than this. This is so very much worth the extra 20! Very powerful, ergonomic, build in light, lots of features. Comes with 2 universal batteries and a great charger!
It’s the same price as buying a charger with a 2Ah battery! Here they throw in the drill and second battery for 5!
Good instructions – not good regrestration process. Drill works very well and has good controllability. Batteries charge within half hour but this is out of box so may not be entirely flat. For price can’t fault and far better than cheaper items e.g. from aldi. Haven’t used to drill concrete yet but settings and spec suggests this will be fine. clearly battery life is for DIY but that is my requirement . Haven’t established battery life hence 3 * but no reason to suspect a problem
Bought for my husband and he loves it. Easy to use and does the job.
I upgraded from a wired drill and so glad I did. DIY projects are simpler and wider ranging now that I don’t have to worry about extension cords.
This Ryobi drill is small but robust and powerful – I’ve not found it wanting for any DIY projects so far. I kept my wired drill as a back-up but having had this for some months will be happy to discard.
The interchangeable battery system has prompted me to look at other products in the Ryobi range.
Bought for my husband as gift he is very satisfied says better than his old black and decker will see in 5years if its still better than his old black and decker battery drill
I just love my new toy! It’s not too heavy which I was worried about and it does my work in seconds!! Love the light on the end. Want a mini circular saw but they don’t seem to do them so that’s annoying since I bought the starter pack with the extra battery.
Good cheap alternative to other brands and has more power than most brushless drills at this price, as it is a brushed drill. Batteries are good enough for light use but if you plan on using this for more than just hanging stuff, a bigger battery is definitely needed. The charger is slow and it took +2 hours to charge one battery from flat. Strongly recommend getting quality bits from either Bosch or Dewalt rather than the Ryobi brand ones as they aren’t the best and would go for higher quality ones as it’s ability to drill holes in stuff depends on the bits used. All in all very good drill for the price and has plenty of power and adjustability as well as a good 3 year warranty which is easy enough to register for.
Had one of these for ten years now, absolutely bulletproof. Plenty of torque have recently bought my dad one. If ever mine finally gives up I’ll be replacing it with another but it’s still going strong and it’s not had a particularly easy life!
Very happy with battery life and power for household fixes.
Decked my attic out completely on one battery. Great drill.
Took hours to charge. Making me think there was a fault, but other reviews verify it’s just slow.
Not yet used it, just charged batteries.
Great drill for odd jobs around the house decent battery life and the little torch is helpful when trying to drill in slightly darker areas. Feels premium and the ratchet system to add and remove bits works a treat.
Just wish it came with a storage box.
Brilliant first power tool, as I have used cord tools for many years, this brilliant and hammer action works great!
I unfortunately didn’t actually receive the one I ordered from Amazon. However, as I then purchased elsewhere here’s the review…
It’s fab, looks great, does the job well and I feel like a diy hero when using it.
A weighty beast. But in a good way. Really recommend this, and the colour is ace!!!!
For a start out kit it’s a good piece of work.
All you need to get started the only thing I would say say is the actual drill is not very powerful
Sturdy tool. 3 in one tool ideal if no electric supply is available.
Really good drill at a great price. Very light weight & battery life is good. Would recommend. Thanks
Nice piece of kit. Had a DEWALT prior to this. Much lighter.
I was after a decent drill for DIY and crafts but wanted one step up from a budget drill. This drill is great and handles all that I need, it’s a funky colour and the batteries are cross compatible with the sander and other units I have. Fantastic quality and power for the price point and worth the little extra for it.
Feels good. Possibly heavier than some.
Drill, screw and hammer action with ease. Light is very useful. Chuck locks well.
Shame I cannot find more things to fix 🙂
Battery life is not great if on heavy work, but 2nd battery supplied, and they’re only small batteries. Probably not man enough for professional use. Charging is very slow, so be prepared. I think it’s a good bit of kit for the money.
This drill is brilliant. Love the colour. How it handles. The power settings. And very powerful. Recommend to buy.
Bought as a gift for my Father for fathers day and well received. He used it immediately to fit some lighting. Great feel, quite heavy, especially with battery and the power of both drill and hammer drill are exceptional. The battery lasted for hours with moderate use within that time. Good colour and general look. It would have been great of it came in a hard case, but you can’t have it all, especially at the price paid. Recommended!
I bought these as we’re on offer and my old Makita was pretty much dead. This is a great drill however noticed that the small drill bit that comes attached keeps falling out, the chuck doesn’t lock properly and the drill bits sometimes come loose. Also the battery life is pretty poor I’ve found. One time I only drilled 13 screws and it was dead after a full charge. (Other times it’s been alright but not as expected). For what I need these are great but for a professional I’d recommend getting a dwalt or Makita.
Bought as a present and recipient was delighted. Good battery life, good power and torque. Ryobi is well known and justifiably so.
A little expensive. Battery isn’t man enough need a 5AH battery.
Our cousin got the exact same one and said it was perfect for the household. Have only used it to put up a water butt and did the job easily after a full charge.
Shame it doesnt come with a better store away box so 1 star taken away
I’d reccomend this drill to anybody, as a 67 year old who’s done diy all his life ive had many drills both cordless and corded. This one is by far the best, its ability to drill brick and stone its exceptional for a battery operated drill. Very pleased.
Replacing an old worn out drill purchased in a car boot sale, this has been a revelation. Light and powerful it has facilitated my late in life, lockdown related DIY mania, and I am turning out pallet furniture like a pro.
Perfectly good especially for those who aren’t too experienced or need a ‘go to’ combi drill. It’s supposed to be a starter kit so Would have liked a few more bits included.
Not sure what ‘thickness’ is about!
Value 3-3.5*
Battery life based on limited use so once usage increases would have better idea of how it would pan out but happy with it, so far. 3.5*
Glad my old drill died. This new drill has been excellent whilst I’ve been rebuilding a raised deck. Pushes a long M12 auger bit through 4 x 4 posts as if they were paper.
Great deal. Two batteries drill and charger. I’m using it mainly as a driver as I have another more powerful Ryobi. It’s a nice small size too
I like that you can change batteries across the range but, some devices need more power than others so makes it a little short work.
Great drill with 2 batteries. Bought to replace my 18 year old Ryobi, but new batteries fit older drill – so I am keeping it! Perfect for screw in/out & routine drilling jobs (Wood) will do cement/brick.
I am an engineer, and I do DIY which it is over qualified to do.
For keen DIY use this is an excellent product – powerful and light… Having two batteries is a real bonus as one can be charging while you are working. Also the batteries on Ryobi products can be used across their range of power tools which is another massive bonus. Very happy with purchase…
This is a cheaper drill, not a cheap drill. Amazing piece of kit that does everything my other more known branded drill did. An absolute bargain, have already completed works drilling into timber, masonry, plasterboard and concrete with ease and the battery life seems never ending
You can drill metal, wood, plastic, ceramics and more with just the standard drill function.
In-built torque ring which has 24 torque settings for that perfect finish.
Quality you would expect from Ryobi. I haven’t been let down with any of my Ryobi purchases. They’re built to last a long time.
Features:
3-Function Drill, Screwdriver and Hammer.
13mm Ratcheting Chuck
50 Nm Motor
Variable speed trigger & LED worklight
2x 1.3Ah Batteries, Charger & Bag incl
i have 2 batteries and thay last me all day drill is solid and works well would but agai
Top quality for the price. Good long lasting battery and managed to almost complete building a 8×4 shed with a lot of screws on just one battery, which is impressive. I’ve tried and tested plenty of drill/drivers over the years and this is up there with the better ones. It’s not the lightest, but a bit of weight is great for confidence of quality build. Super 13mm chuck is a bonus. 75 with 2 batteries and a charger was a crazy price and easy to find on that kind of offer very easily. Nothing bad to say about this item.
Extremely good for the price. Hammer drill works fine. This is the 2nd one I brought as a kit with 2x 1.5ah batteries and a charger for 75 delivered what a bargain.
Drill still works even after the delivery person dropped it over my 6ft gate obviously can’t wait one minute.
Brilliant power screwdriver and hammer drill, robust and durable, quite heavy for the size, but works wonders, and with two batteries and charger it’s an absolute bargain.
On one battery I managed to screw around 100 screws on wood and still going, having a second battery ready to go is a great bonus.
Already have this drill but couldn’t resist a second one due to the price of this package really great value indeed! The drill is just excellent quality another great value addition to my ryobi toolki
Good product. Long battery life. Easy to handle and use. Sturdy.
Some pros
– Excellent value for money
– Build quality is excellent.
– For the occasional DIY this will do just fine. It drills effortlessly.
– Some reviewers said to find it heavy but I found I can comfortably lift these with one hand. (Might depend if you lift bro 🙂 )
– 2 batteries (you’ll need them)
– LED Light
Cons
– No bag to store or carry it in.
– No accessories except the one double ended bit you get for screwing.
– Low powered batteries
– Slow charger
Overall I would recommend to a friend and to you reading this. Give this a helpful vote if useful.
Great drill so far. Came in a box with batteries and charger – no carry case. Has hammer, drill and screw functions. Used for drilling through breeze block and decking with cheap drill bits – no issues. Driving in screws works well with the selected setting. I have not had to charge the battery after multiple uses. Overall has been a decent addition. Remember to register for warranty on the Ryobi website.
However, for the price, the Ryobi is awesome. Not quite the power of the Makita’s but similar, well built, reassuringly weighty and very nice to use. Used today to drill 8mm clearance holes and drive 100mm timber locks and didn’t miss a beat. The performance was much better than I expected.
The only let down is the batteries and charger that come with the kit. The 1.5AH hour batteries do not last long at all and the charger is very slow. To slow to fully charge the 1st battery when using the 2nd. It took a good couple of hours after the 2nd battery was dead for the 1st to be charged.
But for 75 you can’t ask for more. Just make sure you have plenty of time to spare between charging or be sure to purchase a faster charger and/or additional batteries.
So far so good, seems fairly powerful and drilled through metal and masonry with out any issues. Can’t say about the battery life but it comes with two so can always keep one on charge if your using it all day. Didn’t come with any drill bits but for the price you pay I can’t complain, I ordered a drill bit set for another 30. Good bit of kit. Does the job well and nice and simple to use.
I heard this product was good from friends and the internet, they were all right, cheaper than the competition and on the same level as the competition
Ensure you buy good quality screw sets and drill pieces as that is where DIY fails
Also this came with a Philips and flat head piece which was handy and it magnetically stays on the drill set 😀
Great piece of kit to have , only had it a day or two but very confident with its capabilities.
