a hassle.
When I do need to use it, I'm impressed with it. Adjusting the speed is pretty simple, the chuck is quick and easy to use and the deck height and position is easy to adjust. I like the 'laser' aiming but it does seem a bit dull in full sunlight.
Overall, 4 Stars

charge and never had the punch to do the job, plus they were all big and bulky to handle. So time for an upgrade. As I have numerous cordless Ryobi garden tools I decided on the small 18v Brushless Ryobi drill/driver. In a nutshell it's compact, well weighted and lightweight, robust and most importantly does not give up. Good high speed for metal and dependable low speed for driving with a selectable clutch.
Keyless chuck is well designed, hand grip is high quality and overall design is top notch. The only improvement I would make is the addition of a bit holder on the base of the drill. Other than that I can't fault the Ryobi drill. It's just a beautiful piece of kit that does the job of larger drills and uses only a small amount of real estate. This tool ranks near the top of my ever growing Ryobi gear.
