Ryobi R18PD3-0 ONE+ 18V Cordless Compact Percussion Drill (Body Only),Hyper Green

Product Information

This model from Ryobi is a combi-drill. This means it has three specific functions. Screwdriver, standard drill and hammer setting for masonry. This is essential if you ever need to hang a picture, shelf, curtain rail or any task that requires drilling into a wall or similar.

And if that wasn’t enough to have you reaching for your wallet, you get two of these batteries included in the set. That simply means you’ve got more runtime, more power, and most importantly less downtime. This product will run for varying lengths of time depending on the battery used. The runtimes are as follows: Most Ryobi chargers have the 1 hour fast charge which is great as you don't have to wait hours on a charge Torque settings are important when it comes to drilling into different types of material. Most Ryobi drills have 20 different settings which is more than enough If you’ve ever held a Ryobi tool before, you’ll know about their patented GripZone technology. It’s quite simply the best overmoulded grip on the market if you ask me. The rubberised sections contain hundreds of tiny plus signs that just seem to grip really well.When it came to drilling a hole in a 3 mm steel plate, the R18PD3 performed reasonably well. Taking one minute and 15 seconds, it was in the range of being useful without being astonishing. I wouldn’t want to drill hundreds of holes with this cordless drill, but it wasn’t a terrible experience. As part of the Ryobi ONE+™ system of over 150 cordless tools for the home, garden, automotive, crafting and much more, the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ R18PD3-0 Cordless Compact Combi Drill is the perfect power tool kit for drilling and screwdriving into wood, steel and masonry. Also important, are the controls. It’s easy to deliver the right speed & torque to match the specific job.

For regular trade use, it’s worth spending more to get a drill with a brushless motor. This technology delivers more power, is more efficient and lasts longer, but costs more. If this appeals, take a look at our Dewalt review. Almost every Ryobi drill has a brushless motor which means the motor will last far longer than a motor that needs brushes to be replaced over time The hammer setting on a combi-drill is essential for masonry. This works by adding a hammer or vibrate action to the turning drill bit. As part of the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ system of over 200 cordless tools for the home, garden, automotive, crafting and much more, the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ R18PD3-2C20SLF Cordless Combi Drill & Torch Starter Kit is the perfect power tool set for drilling and screwdriving into wood, metal, plastic and masonry - day or night.The Ryobi R18PD3 cordless drill has a number of standout features, that are usually only associated with more expensive models. It’s not just a grippy handle though, there’s also the brilliant ergonomic shape that makes the Ryobi R18PD3 an incredibly comfortable tool to hold on to. The extra ridge included on the grip sits nicely between the middle and ring finger and makes it just that bit easier to hold.
