Ryobi's brushless 18V drill delivers genuine performance at a fraction of Milwaukee or DeWalt prices. The ONE+ battery platform powers 300+ tools, making it the smartest entry point for building a cordless tool collection.
Ryobi gets unfairly dismissed by tool snobs, but the brushless HP line is legitimately good. For a homeowner who doesn't need to drill concrete all day, this drill will handle everything you throw at it — and the battery ecosystem is unmatched for the price.
“Haven't regretted going for Ryobi's One+ system, the range of tools I'd say is unparalleled. I'd agree dewalt and makita are technically superior but you get what you pay for I suppose.”
