Welcome to a Cordless Drill Battery specialist of the RYOBI Battery
The P816 allows you to switch between two speed settings. The high setting can reach up to 1,600 RPMs, and the low setting reaches 440 RPMs. This drill doesn't have the highest RPMs we have seen, but it is still pretty good. While in the low setting, which effectively turns the drill into a screwdriver, you can adjust the clutch to one of 24 positions, which allows you to drive a screw to various depths without damaging the material or the screw. This power drill produces 340 inch-pounds of turning force, or torque, which isn't very much, but it can still power through many tasks.
This drill uses 18-volt batteries such as RYOBI ABP1803 Battery, RYOBI ABP1804 Battery, RYOBI BPL1820 Battery, RYOBI P100 Battery, RYOBI P2600 Battery, RYOBI P3300 Battery, RYOBI HILTI SFB 126 Battery, RYOBI HILTI SBP-12 Battery, RYOBI Milwaukee 0522-20 Battery, RYOBI Milwaukee 0622-20 Battery, RYOBI Milwaukee 6310-22 Battery, RYOBI Milwaukee PSH-18 Battery, but unlike many other drills we reviewed, you can use both lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight and compact, and they produce the same level of power as other battery technologies. The Ryobi P817 compact lithium-ion battery is not only useful with your drill, but with every Ryobi ONE+ product, which is convenient if you have a few Ryobi power tools. The drill comes with two batteries, which means you can charge one while you use the other. Unfortunately, it takes a full hour to charge completely.
Like the best power drills, this tool uses a half-inch keyless chuck, which is incredibly convenient. With a keyless chuck, you fasten the bits to the drill by hand rather than using a key, which is easy to misplace. Additionally, a magnetic holder on the P816 conveniently holds screws and drill bits for future use.
The Ryobi P816 has a top-mounted bubble level for accurate drilling, which is really convenient. It also has an LED that illuminates your workspace when you start drilling. Because of this light and the drill's compact size, you should be able to drill holes in even the tightest spots. It only weighs 2.7 pounds, so arm fatigue should be minimal as well.
All Ryobi tools, including the Ryobi P817, are backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and three-year warranty. In case you need help, Ryobi has a detailed website with product news, part replacement information, social media contacts, standard contact information and downloadable user guides.
The Ryobi P817 is a cordless drill worth taking a look at, even if it isn't the best drill on our lineup. It has the power, convenience and features you'd find on the most expensive drills available on the market, at a much cheaper price point. Unfortunately, this cordless drill only reaches average speeds, so it doesn't drill holes as easily as other drills. It also produces a low amount of torque, meaning the drill isn't very powerful and has trouble with large screws. However, the drill is compact, has a built-in bubble level and uses interchangeable lithium-ion batteries, which makes it worth your consideration for a household drill.
