i dunno, to me it's a drill that's giving up an adjustable chuck and clutch to be an impact that doesn't impact. it's basically throwing away the good features of a drill and pairing it with the downside of only being able to accept 1/4 hex bits.
I don't know that I want this I think I will just my hammer drill and hope for the best as I also have an impact driver with adjustable drill chuck would that not more likley if I already have the above mentiond things save me money rather than buying this?
If it has a torque adjustment I'd see value possibly but isually just use a drill driver with hammer optional and 1-2 gearbox and/or impact driver. Usually one for pilots, one for sending.
Milwaukee makes a smaller version. Metabo HPT has a screwdriver kit with 21 clutch settings and drill mode that's much smaller in diameter than the top of this and it works in a straight or 45° setting. It's a fraction of the weight and size
it's a drill that's giving up an adjustable chuck and clutch to be an impact that doesn't impact. it's basically throwing away the good features of a drill and pairing it with the downside of only being able to accept 1/4 hex bits. edit: also not seeing a speed/gear setting which almost all drills and even a lot of impacts have these days. so it's a drill without any features permanently stuck on the low speed high torque setting that's maybe a little shorter than my cheapo dewalt atomic drill, and about 2" longer than my impact (dcf 850).
I was LITERALLY going to type everything you just said 😂 As you stated, Yeah it’s quite literally just a hybrid of an impact/drill with ONLY the downsides…. No variable torque Only accepts 1/4” hex bits No speed control Thing is hot garbage. Only way I would say it’s worth it, is if it’s $25 or about 1/3rd the cost of a normal Ryobi drill.
Eh, it's $20 cheaper, and shorter and lighter than Ryobi's basic drill driver. For light use around the house or home shop, it's honestly not a bad choice - plus you can keep your drill handy without having to change bits as much. I like having a small+light cordless screwdriver. But yeah, I suppose I'd rather just get a drill/driver, and then a small handheld rechargeable screwdriver. Add a compact impact driver for impact tasks.
@@joegibesFor sure…. That’s just it though, a tad lighter and a tad cheaper is not worth losing so much functionality. As you said, so you don’t have to change bits…. Well then just buy the drill/impact combo and problem solved. It’s just gimmicky. Oh and dead serious, it’s so funny I just saw 10 of these at my local home depot on clearance from $50!!!!! Down to $30 (what its original price should have been. So what does that tell ya?? Lol everyone else thinks it’s useless as well. It can only do one thing, sucks at it and costs nearly as much as the standard drill. In fact you can get the drill/impact combo on sale all the time for under $100 and it comes with a battery and charger. 😂
@@VegetaIsBetterThanGoku agreed, it's a fine deal at $30, comparable to Amazon no-brand specials, but with a warranty and Ryobi 18V ONE battery. For that price, I'd pick one up... Especially if it's a kit with battery; those are always worth >$30!
For me, why? But I can see this being a good option for someone not very comfortable or versed with power tools. Someone who would use it for putting together ikea furniture and occasionally drilling into drywall to attach plastic anchors and hang pictures. Honestly it’d be good for people who have the ryobi vacuums and they’ll just get this, not having to buy a battery and charger.
Theres just no point to this thing. Their usb installation driver beats this in every way, and for people who don't own any tools and need something to assemble ikea furniture, a hypertough 12v drill for 20 dollars would obliterate this. This is coming from someone with 30+ ryobi tools
I really don't dig the pistol style screw drivers. It's just a me thing.. BUT atleast unlike the skill 2.0. The ryobi tool has the power to drill holes and drive screws To those saying Y? Its simple. Not every task out there requires the brute force raw power of a rhino. Infact meny wood woorking tasks require minimal power so as not to damage the wood or the screw
I picked up the skill twist 2.0 its 4V and a quarter of the size of this and works fantastic as a screw driver. Regular price is 39. If you xan find in store at sams club you get it for less than half price.
It makes them easy to spot. The reason I started buying them was when I worked in a wood mill and dropped one off a second story catwalk. Picked it up and just kept using it. I've got some that I use 2-3 times a week that I've had for over 10 years.
I’m having too send my oscillating saw in for repair. Stopped working doing a plunge cut into drywall. I’ve also had 2 drills go bad. Second one smoked right out of the box. I’m looking into alternate brands. Any suggestions?
I mean, it depends on the RPM and stuff for this particular tool but I feel like the concept is nice and especially because when you’re drilling through things you don’t really need the impacting that an impact driver can perform and that tends to just heat up it’s for no reason so I should discard actually be very useful for a wide range of people considering it’s size and quick change ability
I think Ryobi should have went with their smaller battery platform on this to bring the package size down tremendously, and then it could have competed with M12 cabinet driver kit, and their screwdriver kit. Saving on drill production cost but maybe wrap that back into a rapid charger for them little batteries or a Ryobi 18v to 4v remote charger. Idk. This just seems like a black and Decker drill,under powered and no one wants it. Lol.
U could just get a little craftsman screwdriver for 30 bucks. Has enough power to put a drywall screw in a stud but not so much to strip a hole in a furniture set. Plus it's battery is internal so u don't have to purchase a separate battery and charger
This would be handy for a homeowner who's not interested in getting a drill and driver combo but it would of been real nice-like with a clutch ya know.
I got the m12 fuel screw driver. I use it for everything, its so strong and fast and handy. If you're set on ryobi these kinds of drills will do 97% of all your work with way less effort and hassle than a full size
@@ToolReviewZone Sorry, I'm not trying to be a jerk but I've now watched the video three times and I don't understand what the difference is between this and any number of impact drivers. Could you please clarify?
Sure, and sorry if I took it the wrong way. This does not impact. It's basically a drill with an impact driver collet. I guess it's meant to give you the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, youtube shorts makes it hard to put in much info, but many wood workers don't seem to like impact drivers, so this tool "could" come in handy for them. Definitely not for everyone though
Finally! Ive been dreaming for someone to someday come out with a 18 or 20v drill that has a 1/4" collet. Not a 12v or 4v screwdriver, not a drill with a collet attachment, a flippin full power drill with a 1/4" collet. Thank you ryobi
Sorry pal. You're wrong on the name. It is NOT Rhy-oh-bi. It is more like Ree-yoh-bi. But actually, you need to blend all 3 letters of RYO-bi. りょーび in my native tongue of Japanese.
Are there any reasons to ever not go brushless that you know of? The only thing I know is a bricklayer told me that, for cutting bricks, you don't want a brushless angle grinder because all the dust will destroy it fast. I assumed that was because of the difference between regular and brushless (tbh I don't really know what brushless actually means), but now that I think of it, maybe he meant that brushless are more expensive and the tool will get killed by dust either way, so just get a cheaper one
I don't know about you all, but I'm sticking to old tools Made In The USA. I just restore them. Some weigh a bit more and have cords, but they are MUCH CHEAPER. I am sick of the Communist Chinese crap.
