Ryobi 18V One+RID18X

A great Impact Driver...that is all – This is an upgrade to my old Impact driver so to be fair it is a large leap in quality. Old one cost me $7 and just is no longer cutting it for larger jobs. Rest of kit is Ryobi now and they have more affordable Impact drivers, but the Auto Feature on this I was interested in. As with all Ryobi any battery will fit in the 18v range and drill is well built and so far I have been loving the ability to do some projects that before I was not able to without borrowing someones more powerful impact driver.

Pros: -The 3 speed settings, certainly gives you more control rather than using the trigger. -Auto mode works well, seems to help with certain fixing types and not stripping them when removing. -Well made, the HP range certainly seems to be one step up on their standard kit. -The 6 year warranty (if registered online)

Cons: -Certainly on heavier side for some -Big drain on battery in use I found on larger job, will vary for all. -Cycle thru modes could be improved, be better if the Auto mode was on its own button.

Some may think $60 more for the speed setting feature and more torque may not be justified, for someone looking for a driver for less intense jobs, that could be true.
