 "Reconditioned Ryobi 12V" 2010-05-27
By P. BENDER (Cincinnati, Oh)
Really like this little drill. Has lots of power and is very light. It replaces my 14.4 Bosch nicad drill. The batteries are starting to go bad. Instead of buying new batteries for the Bosch, I purched this Ryobi instead. Its a great deal, 2- 12V lithium batteries,a charger and a drill for $67.00. The Ryobi is about half the weight of the Bosch. If a battery goes bad on the Ryobi, I will just buy another reconditioned drill for $67.00.

I bought this drill and auto hammer kit (includes 2 battery and charger) new from HD for sixty nine dollars. Why buy refurbished tools when new is much cheaper? The drill is strong enough for home use, not strong as 18v tool but much lighter.

Nice drill. My only complaints are there's no torque adjustment and it did'nt come with a bit as advertised. As a refurb it was a bit scuffed but no big deal.

I'll keep this short. My 1/2" corded hammer drill and 15 amp Sawzall are from Bosch. I wanted a compact cordless 3/8" drill/driver for a carry-anywhere tool. The Bosch alternatives were far too expensive. $200 for a drill and $150 for the drill/driver that just didn't have the torque or rpm's I needed.



I looked at the Milwaukee and Dewalt units. Same story. Way too expensive for a throw-around tool and the drill/driver units just weren't fast or strong enough.



I looked at the cheaper units (Ryobi, Black and Decker, Toolshop, etc.) and found that the lightest and most compact of the 3/8" drills was the Ryobi 12V Lithium Ion. Better yet, it came with two batteries and a charger.



I bought the package, came home, and immediately plugged the battery into the charger. The charger's a pretty nice little unit - it flashes red while testing the battery to see if it's in good operating condition. If it is, it flashes green while charging and stays solid green when fully charged. 40 minutes later, no kidding, the first battery is charged. I slap it into the drill and put the second battery in the charger.



I've only used the unit for the last few days, but it's been an invaluable little tool. Very lightweight, it holsters easily (even in a jeans pocket). The batteries are very compact and show little sign of slowing down even after some pretty gnarly use (drilling through 1/4" stainless steel, etc.)



I give this a tool a 4, simply because for its price range, it is just great. Cheap, charges fast, holds a charge, and comes with a charger and two batteries.



I would give this tool a 5 if it came with ambidextrous belt-clips mounted on the tool and if the tool was even more compact and/or lighter.

 "Review incomplete due to problem" 2010-02-27

I was in the middle of a project when my old drill died, which was a 3/8" Craftsman cordless. When I looked around for a comparable drill, I found that they have gotten pretty pricey. This Ryobi caught my eye. The company has a good reputation, and because I only use the drill a few times a year, I thought a reconditioned one would serve my needs. I ordered it from Amazon on Feb. 24, 2010 and it was delivered by FedX on Feb 26. Certainly prompt service, but I am in a state adjacent to Georgia where it was shipped from. I unpacked it and found that it was in a carrying case. I read the manual for the drill and charger. The manuals were new, printed for reconditioned units. I unpacked the battery, charger and drill, which had the 2nd battery attached. I tried to operate the drill but there was no response. I put the battery on the charger, and after a minute or two, the flashing light indicators indicated that the battery was defective. It would not charge. I charged the remaining battery and it charged fine. The drill then operated.



Before doing anything, I contacted CPORyobi support and the email response says they have submitted my request for a replacement battery to the factory. If I do not hear anything within 10 days, get back in touch. Consequently, me and my project are on hold. I read the fine print in CPO's return policy, and it says UNUSED items can e returned within 30 days for a refund. I am a patient guy, but my project is waiting. If I do not get a good battery within 10 days, I am going to get a refund and go to Lowes and buy a new one



This does bring up an issue I had not thought about. These units have been used, including the batteries, and you do not know how much life is left in them. New ones cost about the same as this drill, and that would double the cost of this bargain. I will update this review if and when the battery problem is resolved and I can actually try out the drill.



This is a March 10, 2010 update:



I received a replacement battery from the manufacturer today. I gave the drill a test run drilling a 1/4" inch hole in a 1/8" thick aluminum strip, and it worked fine, It is a light, nicely balanced basic drill, and should be adequate for my needs. I hope I get a few years out of it. CPO Ryobi lived up to their word.
