20 Best Cordless Drill For Women (2023 Updated)

Very happy with this. Bring pink makes it feel more accessible, strangely! And has helped me get on with a list of jobs. Very good quality.

surpisingly good….its been used everyday since arriving with the battery lasting for ages.

Love it. Does what I need it to. Instruction very straight forward & easy

AHHH! I love it, I love it, I love it! I was so excited when this came in, firstly cause it’s pink haha! It’s such a handy tool for us girlies, and so simple and straight to the point to use! The speeds are amazingly fast.

Not difficult to figure out at all, and we even get a cute little sticker with this order! Thank you Mike, and all of team Pink Power for this great invention!.

This drill set is perfect for someone like me as I’ve never used one before. It’s lightweight even with the batteries and easy to use. Comes in a nice heavy plastic carry case “pink”! I’m putting together a CD tower and very excited to get started.

My first drill. I opened the box and without realizing, I sang “I’m a big girl now”. Laughed to myself!.

I like the color, price, the fact that the case includes the screwdriver, and drill bits, BUT, it’s way too heavy for a woman’s small wrists, and weaker arms. That problem is really a deal breaker, and it is tricky, phoney advertising to promote this item as light weight,”only three pounds”.

The drill with the battery is equal to, and in some cases heavier than any other drill. I’m not happy with that issue, but I am keeping the drill, as at least no guy will borrow the drill and not return it, as has happened to me before, because of the color.

We have owned other DeWalt tools, but this one helped us alot while remolding our home. From screwing up new siding, to putting in new windows to floors. This drill has never let us down. It is very easy to change out a tip.

Simply charge it up and you get hours out of the battery. We loved it so much we purchased some to give away as gifts. Do yourself a favor and add one to your tool collection.

This compact drill is a must have. Very easy to use, easy to handle meaning on the lighter side not that heavy weighted type of drill but still packs a nice little punch on the power. Easy to switch out the bits and charges pretty fast.

Battery also lasts quite a bit of days from the last charge. Highly recommended. I absolutely love dewalt tools. I have been using them since theor drills had cords attached. Great quality products durable and lasts forever if you take care of them correctly.

This is a REAL drill. I still own my other 20v Lithium DeWalt drill and can compare these two with honesty/brevity. The old one is bulkier, larger, less powerful, and slower. This new DeWalt DCD791BR is the “big brother” to this size class of drills.

Modern, strong, high torque, and bright light. The belt clip can be removed. The only thing I wish these drills had was a place to clip on a screw bit (you know, flat blade and Phillips head combo deals).

With a 2. 0 aH battery, it is perfectly balanced. My old DeWalt brushed drill was NOT balanced and gave my wrists fatigue after all day use. Not this one. VERY comfortable. Much more gooder!.

I Am Very Impressed With My NEW RYOBI 18V ONE + DRILL/DRIVER. ; ) I Am a Girl and Wanted/Needed a Lighter Weight Versatile DRILL/SCREWGUN. It Is INDEED LIGHTWEIGHT And Very Easy To Use. The Battery Alone Makes This Such a GREAT BUY! It Is EXACTLY What i Was In NEED Of! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH A TOP BUILT AFFORDABLE PRODUCT.

I Will Be Sure To Recommend RYOBI PRODUCTS To My Friends and Family. Much Appreciation Linda A Stewart.

Left my normal drill at the cottage, bought this little one to do some small jobs hanging shelves, will only drill in counter clockwise rotation, not clockwise. I could sort of get it working if I turned it to the side and played with the trigger, after drilling 2 holes into drywall it stopped doing even that.

Returning tomorrow. Must have a lose connection somewhere. First and last Ryobi purchase.

I can’t speak as a professional needing this for work, but as a weekend warrior needing a drill for home projects, I can’t be any more impressed. The drill has all the key features you want in a drill along with the horsepower to do it.

I’ve had a couple others cordless in the past and I know my dad was a labourer that had niCad batteries all over the house, so the problem is with providing the torque while maintaining a long batter life.

I used it one Saturday for 4 hours straight and consumed no more than 25% battery, so I certainly could have gone longer. This kit has a second battery! I love it and for the price, thank you Ryobi.

I am not a dyed in the wool DIY’er, but I did need a cordless drill / power screwdriver for installing some shelving in my tool shed. This drill kit fit my needs to a T. It is lightweight and easy to handle, the battery charges rapidly and the kit comes with enough drill bits and screwdriver heads to handle almost any job.

I had no problem drilling into wooden studs, and the instructions for adjusting the torque make the settings very clear for the job at hand. This is an excellent value for the price, and this will be a go-to tool for a lot of those “honey do” jobs around the house.

Looks cheap. The bits are sticky. The case doesn’t hold the bits. Most importantly, the charger doesn’t show if the charge is full. Both red and green lights are on?? Thinking about returning. Not happy with the purchase.

Milwaukee has been my brand of choice for many years and I felt I should share my experience. Perhaps it will give others pause and really consider their choice more carefully than I did. Getting the batteries off the tools is very easy for me since arthritis has begun to set in and the reason I switched from Makita years ago (their new battery design is much better).

I still enjoy using my Gen 1 2604 Hammer Drill. It was just about right albeit a little under powered for some tasks. Works so much better with a Röhm chuck replacement! Bought this Gen 4 drill and the impact, not happy overall.

The power is nice but they are way too noisy. It actually hurts to run them without hearing protection. User experience is terrible in my opinion. Over the last two years I have purchased Festool products, call me spoiled but, the saws are superb, the CSX is a wonderful installation drill.

I’ll keep the Milwaukee but I’m done with Chinese products. It’s my last Milwaukee purchase although I have enjoyed the deep platform. Much better choices out there and Milwaukee better wake up if they plan to continue to compete.

Raw power is not the answer. More is just more and there is a point it becomes not useful. I need a drill with good power, range and control not a racehorse or a bucking bronco! These drills will be the last I grab and will not get used often, only for bigger tasks.

Now, I’m planning to purchase either the Festool TPC 18/4 since I have all the chucks from my C18 that will fit or the Metabo LTX-3 once the new version with anti-kickback is available (perhaps later this year).

They are much more versatile options with great ergonomics but come at a hefty price. The TPC 18/4 is a little under powered for my needs but I’m already on the platform and will keep these Milwaukee drills.

The Metabo is a much better choice in my opinion although it’s yet another battery platform. However, they are part of CAS (Cordless Alliance System) and hopefully more brands will start participating.

(Milwaukee are you listening? Come up with an adapter!) I’ll be able to do everything I need with the inner-changeable chucks with either. Let me suggest checking out the shootout videos on the web. These Milwaukee drills are way too loud, whiny and unmanageable.

Ergonomics is very important and that includes saving our hearing! I’m sorry to say that Milwaukee has lost me as a longtime customer.

I got this to replace my earlier model drill/driver l got for fathers day some time ago. Thought it was time to go brushless this time. The unit functioned out of the box, but was not happy with the proformace of the tool.

The spin up to speed was really noticeable. Returned and bought the brushed version. Cool idea, but the maybe it was either subpare mostfet switches or the motor control chip not being timed right. Noticed a long delay from trigger pull to chuck wind up.

Plus it made this horrible hi ptiched wine a start up. My suggestion would be to not use the M12 version of this tool. I feel that this tool requires it be reserved for the M18 line maybe. Love your tools all around.

They feel better in my hands than the Dewalt tools I’ve used in the past. A closed second to these tools is Ryobi 18v plus one as for comfort use on long projects. I do have large hands, and even though I use the M12, they still feel good in my ungloved hand.

You keep making great tools and I’ll keep buying them. If this is your new way forward with the fuel line, l will have to stop buying them.

For a drill that’s heavier than pretty much any other 12V drill currently on the market the performance is middling. But its performance is ok. I want light weight and good ergonomics in 12V and this tool with its heft and top heavy design doesn’t cut it.

The light is dim, poorly positioned and goes out too quickly for detailed work. The clutch is perhaps the worst part of drill. I’m totally fine with an electronic clutch. The problen with this clutch is that drill speed is tied to the clutch setting.

The lower the clutch setting, the longer the ramp up and the lower the top speed. I don’t want the clutch to influence drill speed. That’s what the variable speed trigger is for. With the clutch set, it’s impossible to pulse the drill which is what I do to set delicate screws.

For larger bits and hole saws I prefer to drill with the clutch set so a bind won’t wrench my wrist. Overall I find nothing good about this drill other than it being part of the M12 system of tools.

My older Hitachi 18v brushed half inch chuck keyless drill was a craigslist purchase. I proceeded to use the everpassionate love out of the 1/4″ hex drive and the half inch chuck drill for 6 years or more prior to investigating Metabo and the 36v “Y’all lazy schmoo poodles start working? well let me know, cuz I aint seen schmoo released yet.

” Outstanding energy density and unbelievable power through the triple hammer impact driving section and into the fasten down the universe capability the new 36v/Multivolt hex driver I purchased has on tap.

I have since realized home use, medium duty renovations and whatnot can EASILY be handled by the 18v line of Metabo tools, hence my choice of drill upgrade being the 18v Brush less model, just way prettier and with a less cracked outer shell.

The 36v/18v batteries are an absolute breeze to work with, they power my Metabo Circ saw(the smaller one), my 18v half inch drive impact(yes, it does remove body bolts and lug nuts) the 4. 5″ angle grinder with a paddle switch and tool-less guard adjustment plus added removable cleanable dustgaurds for the electronics.

Where im going with this is such: Get ya self 1 36v powered tool, the one you ponder you will need the most frequently or the one that is the most versatile to YOUR own working predicament. Make sure ya get the 2 36v batteries and the badass ultra quick 18/36v charger plus the intended tool.

then relax and purchase the remaining tools in either voltage, while using the 36v multivolt HPT tech to just move batteries around. The 36v charger is faster than the 18v Metabo charger, the 36v batteries are considered 4AmpHours in the 36v tools, but I believe closer to 6 amp hours in the 18v tools.

Yes the older Hitachi stuff you may have will also work.

I like the drill a lot overall. Lightweight, compact, plenty of power for small jobs; also it is very crude technologically speaking. The trigger showed signs of wearing out withing 8 months of purchasing it, the forward/reverse switch is so easy to bump and lock up.

The forward/reverse switch on the impact drivers are a lot better. My drill is coming up on three years old, and the motor sounds really bad; it runs and works, but sounds like it might die any time.

I would love to have a power control pad on this drill, like on the triple hammer impact driver. I just wish they had taken the time to make a highly advanced, atate of the art drill for everyday tasks.

This is my first Metabo product of which I knew nothing about it. I saw it in a Lowe’s, looked at it, talked to a sales guy, then went home to study it and learn about Metabo having read so many positive reviews.

This was one of my best tool buying decisions. The ratcheting chuck is what I needed and the battery indicators are a great design. My only complaint is the light does not shine on the area which the bit comes in contact.

That is a very minor issue since I do not work in tight areas with a full-size drill and if I would, I would use one of my angled spotlights. Bought this on sale for $100. I have used this drill twice: first time drilling through three metal umbrella poles of which all were inside each other and the second time in a pressure treated 2X4 — the drill performed flawlessly both times.

I bought this drill just under 3 years ago. I live in a condo so it has come in very handy once in a while. I liked the fact that it wasn’t heavy and that it pretty-much met all of my needs for fixing things around the home.

I’ve not used the drill very often; perhaps no more than several times a year. When using it recently to remove door hinges from a couple of cabinets we were renovating, I switched batteries. The one I took off the charger indicated a full charge but when i attached it to the drill, there was no power.

The small LED on the drill would light up for a fraction of a second but, other than that, no power at all. On switching back to the other battery, the drill worked. So something is wrong with the spare battery, despite it showing it has a full charge when placed in the charger.

Considering the few times this has been used, I’m not impressed with Bosch. Something has clearly gone wrong with the second battery and the cost of replacing it is really out of the question. I’m so disappointed by this.

I thought that I could rely on the Bosch name for quality and dependability. The 2 yr warranty is now past on the batteries so there’s nothing I can do. I can’t even log into my Bosh Advantage account to contact them.

I will use the drill with its one remaining battery for the time being and, when I want to get a new drill with two batteries, I’ll pass on anything which Bosch has to offer. One of the reasons I got a Bosch is because I have an eBike with two Bosch batteries – they have a good name in Europe and they have served me well over the last few years.

Oh well, buyer beware.

I purchased the GSR18V-190B22 drill early spring, started using it a few weeks later, I noticed the drill would abruptly stop working when using it for screwing, if you released trigger & depressed again it wood work sometimes.

thought it also was the battery, swapped batteries, even tried batteries from my older drill same thing. I returned the drill to Lowe’s & they replaced it with a new one. This one appeared to be working fine until I started building some cabinets & drilling pocket holes, it totally destroyed holes because after 4 or 5 holes with a Kreg bit, the chuck would loosen & the bit would flop around.

Almost ruined my kreg jig. I thought I wasn’t tightening the chuck but even after tightening as much as I could, it still loosened after a few holes. i switched to my older 18v and it never loosened once over the course of 50 holes.

I was only drilling in 1/2” birch plywood, the chuck should have never loosened. Very disappointed with this drill, 2 failures as far as I’m concerned. I love the ergonomic feel & balance of the Bosch over my dewalt but I may have to go back.

I hate it when companies come out with new products, claming improvements, but the only improvement they make is to their bottom line. No exception here. Bosch claims more torque with this drill but it appears they did that only on the slow speed, and only by slowing the drill down (changing the gear ratio).

So unless you have a LOT of patience, the added torque does not benefit. And to make matters worse, the fast speed, on this version now just cuts out if a higher torque is required — which is what is required when starting to withdraw most screws.

Generation one used to slow down but would power through. So now, trying to withdraw a deck screw requires multiple depressing the trigger. And, they removed the handy spare driver holder at the back of the drill — I used that all the time.

I would never have bought my two drills. Disappointed.

So many products like this on the market but this one caught my eye, so with a number of personal projects at home to get on with I decided to take the plunge and make the purchase. Very pleased to say I’m not disappointed in any way, I assumed I would need to put the battery on charge, maybe I was lucky but the drill was good to go from taking it out the box.

Every function I could want appears to be with this drill, delicate operations, for example using as a screw driver on a cross head screw, you need a delicate amount of start up speed to avoid slipping off the head, this drill has that capability and more.

Great to have a light shine exactly where you need assistance where lighting is poor or your eyesight is not what it used to be. Having only ever had an electric drill in the past albeit with some of the functions in this DeWalt XR LI-ION drill, what’s important no me, no more extension leads.

We all know the obvious dangers of a domestic supply, and extension leads that are never long enough or always getting caught up. Early days as I haven’t had the drill that long but with a three year extended warranty on my purchase there’s just great peace of mind.

Having come from an engineering background I can see this drill would clearly suit any profession especially with the amount of functions available. Two batteries, a charger, bright yellow so easy to see, a good battery life once charged this drill for me has everything I could want or expect from an off the shelf product that seems to suit my personal needs to a tee.

I MISS Kitbox will stack, last forever, store the most -often used bits and find them inside than the bag. The bags will get hung up when trying to pull them out of tight spaces like toolboxes, service truck floorboards or cargo areas, and don’t adequately protect the tools from impact damage.

I thought the charger was defective -until I looked at the charging rate in the manual and compared it to all the other chargers: 70 minutes for Dewalts’ SMALLEST (1. 5aH) BATTERY, and 4 HOURS on 5AH BATTERY! All of Dewalts’ other chargers will recharge the 1.

5aH in 30 minutes (except the DCB112 at 45 minutes) The DCB107 takes WAY TOO LONG FOR SERVICE WORK. Dewalt should discontinue this crappy charger and offer the DCB112 if they must pinch a penny- the DCB112 is 40% faster, and can’t cost dewalt more than 50 cents to upgrade this kit.

I have recently started switching to dewalt from porter cable and was able to get this drill on sale and have been extremely happy with the purchase. This is by far the best cordless drill I have ever owned.

Strong drive, adjustable torque, and a light to illuminate the area at the drill tip make it very versatile. The only thing I wish it had that my previous drill had is a small clip on the base where I can temporarily hold another small bit in case i am switching between philips and flathead.

Not a huge negative just a nice to have option. I do appreciate that it has a belt clip which my previous drill did not have and it makes it easy to hang on my belt for quick access.

I’ve been using these cordless drill drivers for over 10 years. The first one I ever bought finally gave up. These are brushed motors and changing the brushes is not a difficult process. I’ve seen the brushless motors fail long before these brushed motors.

This model is slightly smaller and lighter in weight than my original. That is either an improvement in tech or a result of cutting manufacturing costs, yet to be determined. Good price.

Black and Decker 20v lithium Drill/Driver is a great tool. Don’t let It’s smaller compact design fool You. There’s plenty of power and torque to do big jobs around the House. Ive, owned Black and Decker Tools for nearly 35 yrs and The price is cheaper than most.

But, the quality is as Good or better than the higher priced competitors! The lithium battery holds charge longer, is lighter, And The charger itself is not bulky. I put it in a small tool bag to keep up with it and other accessories, that I need to work with.

(Walmart sells A package that includes the bag, and a selection of driver bits that Will serve most of Your needs) The color is bright orange and black, typical and easily Recognizable for Black and Decker Products, but this makes it easier for Me to keep up with.

The keyless chuck holds well for awhile. But, like most Drills, high demands will cause it to loosen up on Your Bits and You will need to retighten. It comes with one dual bit, a Phillips and straight Screwdriver, so, You will need to purchase another package of bits, later.

Overall, It’s a nice, durable drill/driver that can handle being accidentally dropped from the ladder a few times.

I’m a long time Milwaukee tool owner and fan, starting with my first Magnum Holeshooter. My latest Milwaukee drill, a 2607-20 cordless hammer drill that I purchased to replace my Milwaukee 0210-1 Driver Drill has been a major disappointment.

At first I was thrilled with the 18 volt battery technology and the features of my new 2607-20 drill, but after more experience with this drill, I became exasperated with its tendency to have the chuck loosen its grip on the drill bit or screwdriver bit.

What seems to be happening is that when the trigger is released, the drill makes a noticeable “clunk” as the shaft lock engages. Then the inertia of the outer sleeve of the chuck tends to loosen the chuck.

After a dozen or two of these trigger releases, the chuck opens up and the bit can fall out. I’ve tried tightening the chuck more firmly, but with my 62 year old hands this can be quite painful. My current project , finishing the interior of my workshop, I use the Milwaukee 2607-20 in high gear to drill pilot holes for wood screws, then I use my wife’s Makita drill/driver to install the screws.

I’ve noticed that with her Makita, there is almost no “clunk” when the trigger is released, and no need to over tighten the Makita chuck, which is no strain to my hands. So far, the Makita chuck has never loosened its grip on a drill bit or screwdriver bit.

I have had this a couple of years purchased wit a hammer Drill. I have used this drill very little up until a month ago when I replaced my Deck which is a bout half finished. I used a small Bosch Drill for most of the work but I have almost worn the batteries out so I started using the Milwaukee.

Suddenly when the screw is almost in and the most power is needed it appears the Gear Box is stripped from the noise and no more drilling. It will still drill when low torque is needed but beyond that it will not work.

I consider this to have been a very poor investment, shouldn’t have deteriorated in the case 90% of the time. I considered purchasing a new gear box but way too expensive. Very poor investment.

Many drill companies claim to be the best and we tend to believe each one, but only experience can teach which is the best. I have used top of the line cordless drills and nothing has been able to beat Milwaukee with their cordless drills.

The m18 has a good strong motor that last a long, long time. I recently put to rest a Milwaukee cordless drill that I purchased back in 2004. Just the past winter, the chuck start to wear out. Since I have little time to install a new chuck, I purchased a replacement, which it too is a great drill.

I am not retired and most of my projects, (honey dues) require a drill. I depend on my Milwaukee. I have 4 batteries that are charged and ready to go when needed. BTW, the batteries are some of the best that I have ever seen.

The juice last a long, long time. I screwed down a deck with deck screws 6 inches on center using one 4. 0 amp battery with one charge and still have enough juice to see one red power indicator LED when pressing the battery status button.

Don’t trust me, go and buy one. If it does not prove worthy, then sell it, because there are those that will buy it because they know, this is, hands down, one of the best cordless drills on the market.

I do not work for Milwaukee, nor do I sell Milwaukee products. I am a retired engineer and apoor slob, just like the rest of you just trying to get buy on the two nickels that I have in my pocket.

I got this hammer drill as an upgrade to my older Ryobi One+ drill/driver that I still really like, but has limitations in masonry and with larger holes in lumber. This PBLHM101 is very powerful. I’ve pushed 1″ spade bits through 2×4’s like butter and a few 2″+ holes for door hardware didn’t even make it blink.

Dropping a few small anchors into old brick to tidy up a hose hanger was also simple. If you need a new drill to do regular drill/driver tasks and you also ned to occasionally drill into masonry or do larger bore hole cutting, do yourself a favor and look at this drill as an option.

The handle is also FAR better than the old version – stronger with a more secure attachment and believe me, your wrists will appreciate the handle. I also like that the light stays on for about 10 seconds after the trigger is released.

The trigger is good with smooth ramping through drill speeds.

I recently purchased the One + HP Impact driver and drill both. Both units work very well and have retired my previous Ryobi Impact driver and drill. I am a big Ryobi fan and have about 30 different Ryobi tools and none of them have ever failed me.

I do have a few concerns that I wanted to post here just in case it helps out other users: 1) Ryobi batteries – Ryobi batteries have a pistol magazine type design which works well but with heavier batteries and specially on a drill or driver, gravity wants the battery to fall down and only a retention clip is keeping that secure in the tool.

I feel like these need to be designed properly. Almost every other manufacturer uses a slide in mechanism that holds the batteries securely. Ryobi battery retention just feels a bit unsecure 2) Hard plastics on batteries – The clip of the battery that goes inside the tool is generally made out of hard plastics and I have a few batteries where that plastic has broken off.

If you want to design Ryobi products to be used by pros, then the batteries need to have more padding and shock absorption. Look at Dewalt or Rigid batteries, due to the slide in mechanism their retention clips are made out of solid abs plastic that has a little give which makes very durable.

Ryobi needs to made their batteries more shock proof. Image your 4. 0 ah battery falling to the ground, it would just break due to the hard plastics and no impact resistance. Other than that I personally love Ryobi.

This is a terrific upgrade from an older 14. 4 volt drill that I have kept going for 15 years. The old drill was large and heavy and new batteries were expensive. Technology has moved on and this drill shows it.

The Ryobi is compact enough to get into tight spaces and has plenty of torque. The task light is a real plus. I do wish it had a bit holder, but I can accomplish that with a small magnet on the base.

I was fully convinced when I visited my son and tried out the one that he had purchased.

Factory quality control is virtually non-existant on this model. I bought locally and had to return the first one to the store because the chuck was utterly siezed fully open — I tried putting massive torque on it with two strap wrenches and it wouldn’t budge.

It’s as if they had welded it in place. I found other reviews with similar issues. The next one I got has a super smooth chuck but there’s slight wobble (bits don’t turn perfectly true; no, my bits are not bent).

So, it’s potluck at to what you’ll get. Just keep returning them until you land a good one. This is another good reason to buy locally. I purchased this exact same kit with 2 batteries in-store for just $37 + tax! That’s their everyday scanned price.

I’m amazed at their online price for this kit. My experience has been that items usually cost more in-store. Amazon sells this model drill with only ONE battery for $48 (at time of this writing, 1-22-17).

The savings are worth having to go back to the local Walmart store for returns. As far as power, it’s adequate for most DIY jobs. I drove 3. 5″ #10 hinge screws w/o a problem, and drilled their holes just prior.

I haven’t tried drilling into the hardest woods or steel yet, but it seems to have pretty good torque for the price and it may handle those jobs as well. It’s not a Makita, so don’t delude yourself into thinking you’ll be getting a pro work drill.

It’s lightweight enough to be comfortable for most users. You might find the handle a bit smallish if you have gigantism or possess huge hands for some other reason. I’m 6′ and the handle is fine for me — but I’m a thin person, so.

It does take a while to charge the batteries, and as I’ve only had the unit for a few days, I can’t speak to whether they live up to the claim of holding their charge for 18 months. All things considered, this is a good deal at $37.

If you check the price of batteries, you’ll see they’re essentially giving away the drill for free. I wouldn’t pay the online price for it, though; I’d put another $20 or so in and get a real work drill instead.

I have another B & D LDX220 that I thought had problems with a larger capacity (4. 0Ah) battery. So I bought the LDX 120C. Tried the new battery and it worked on the LDX220. Swapped the large battery with the new LDX120C and it didn’t work.

Disassembled/reassembled the (4. 0Ah) battery and attempted to recharge it several times. finally was able to get it to charge. Now both drill are working great. wife is using the LDX120C.

I’ve always been a Black Decker fan, but this is my most reliable and most used tool for so many household projects. The battery holds a charge longer than most other brands and the price is midrange, so I always recommend this particular drill.

Pair it with the fast charger (sold separately, but worth every penny) and you’ll be unstoppable.

To be clear, there are more than 2 speeds in this drill. There are two RANGES of variable speed controlled by the trigger pull and the power is impressive. It’s my first 18v tool and I love the features.

A bit carrier and angled handle make it really versatile. It weights more than the 12v, especially with the 4. 0 AMP battery, but is still lighter than my corded 1/2 inch drill. This item came without battery, but the other tools RYOBI has that use the same batteries are so affordable and numerous, you can call the battery a key to the tool shed.

So far so good. I use it mainly for automotive hobby stuff, track days/hpde, or working on the car. The impact is very balanced and the trigger easy to control. I usually break a tq with a wrench and use this to remove quickly.

For install the impact is close to 80 ft-lbs which is about the lug bolt rating for my car. I do Tq those with a wrench as well. I have used the drill less but it is performing well. The smaller battery is good for my needs so far.

I would say 5 stars but it’s new. BTB my Son-in-Law and daughter’s business is roofing and siding and Milwaukee is what they buy. Better warranty than most others and good reviews on PF too.
