Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Drill has plenty of torque and is lightweight/well balanced no matter which battery you use. Small, lightweight yet lots of torque. I wish it had a stronger magnet with it.

One+ battery system is awesome, interchangeable with countless other tools. Durable battery is still good. It is more expensive but there seems to be a very big improvement. The old one was stuttering.

It’s the best drill i’ve had! Its cool. It's an excellent drill.

V recharger for ryobi saws. Inter changeable with other ryobi products.



Cons

This product was advertised as 'new' it intermittently cuts off during heavy use. That is crazy engineering for a drill i paid $35 brand new.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality


Good grip, bright light, not loud during operation, locks on bits reliably.


This is one amazing drill, first time i used it was to drill 2inch holes in 1/4 inch steel and it powered through like it was butter!


One charge and i was able to drive 2 1/2" wood screws into redwood for at least ten hours.


Going from my old drill to this brushless is like going from an old 4 cylinder beat up car to a hungry v8.

Price


Great drill for the $25 promo price.


Good deal, quickest ryobi drill i think


Works for me at a reasonable price.


Looked at the cost of batteries and the decision was made.

Shipping


Drill driver arrived quickly and just as described

Packaging/appearance


My new drill arrived in a plastic bag with a free bit but missing belt clip.


Didn't come with belt clip, but didn't expect it too.

Competitiveness


In many head to head tests on youtube the power and speed between tools of each brand is negligible.


I also looked at the hitachi which is really a very nice drill.


I wanted a milwaukee, did some googling and found out both brands are made by the same company.


I use the high-end battery and no compaints.

    I had the same model for about 4 years it suddenly had a problem with the chuck gear and when i looked at a newer model pcl206 to replace it it didnt have a bit storage or a magnet less rpms and more expensive than the old p252 so i got the p252


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    P252 is slightly larger and heavier

    This particular item seems to run slow for a drill


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not sure if it is just my drill or all of this item
