Advantages: Light Weight, Professional Grade, Easy To Use Disadvantages: Not Lethium Ion, so charging times are alittle longer.
In my opinion one of the best combi drill i have used. I am a certified electrician and i use it for all types of work i carry out. It's nice and compact (compared to other 18V drills) which is a plus when is comes to getting in really tight places. I would recommend it to anyone. I have tried a lot of drills in my career, by all means this one has beat them all. Anyone out there tired of spending money on expensive drills, just to hassle with instructions and complicated attachments, don't put yourself through that. This drill is the BEST, very very very easy to use. Last year my girlfriend wanted to hang curtain rods, she was keen in doing it her self, and she did. I mean if my girlfriend can use this drill and do a professional job anyone can.
EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!!! ...
Advantages: long life, works well Disadvantages: short battery time
carry around lose drill bits which could get lost.
The drill is very comfortable to hold and not too heavy weighing only around 4k so its easy to carry comfortably. The 18Vbattery takes around 4 hours to charge which is pretty good, although if using the drill frequently the battery does run down quite quickly which can be a problem.
The drill will last for quite some time, I have owned mine now for coming up 4 years and it still works perfectly well and still looks in great condition, as if bought yesterday and the battery life is still as good as ever, if short.
The drill is also safe to use, of course there is a certain risk factor using a drill of any type but as drills go this drill is quite safe to use as it has limited power and will switch of the instant your finger leaves the trigger.
The drill is reasonably priced only ...
Advantages: 18v +one system, wet & Dry. inexpensive Disadvantages: Must have +one battery to take advantage of price
This is from the +one system, which enables you to expand on your cordless range without getting yet another charger and battery. Therefore you buy the product 'bare' without any battery or charger and use the common battery you already have for your 18v cordless drill/ saw etc.
The benefit is there if you already have Ryobi cordless +product, which i do. Therefore it was cheaper to buy this than a normal dustbuster.
In terms of use it is very handy round the house and shed and with an 18vbattery (most dust busters are half this) it goes on for ever and ever between chargers. it has both wet and dry functions which deal well with little spills, those anything larger would need the full scale vacuum. ...
