Pros Compact, metal ratcheting chuck, great battery life, includes soft caseGreat for driving fasteners, heavy-duty, efficient use of battery lifeGreat performance, metal ratcheting chuck, includes hard case, includes bit holder with a standard/Phillips head bitFantastic drilling and driving performance, good 2 Ah battery lifeGreat at driving fasteners, short length, good battery life
Cons Trouble with very high torque situations, strange jaw design leads to uncentered bitsHeavy, takes some force to swap batteriesHeavy, flimsy bit holderOn the heavier side, slower battery charging, light shuts off after ten secondsStruggled with the larger hole saw
Bottom Line A great drill for medium duty projects with a great battery lifeIf you are looking for a top-tier drill to go with your existing Milwaukee batteries, this is your best betA powerful drill that is up to almost any task thrown at itA solid drill that would be a welcome to addition to your Ryobi tool armyThis drill scored quite well across the board, though it is a bit on the heavy side
