5.5 AMP Corded 3/8 in. Variable Speed Compact Drill/Driver with Bag

This is a a good entry-level corded drill. Performs well, has good torque, and performs well a wide variety of duties. The only issue I came across is the check occasionally comes loose when in use. Solid buy for the price.

This was listed as good, used condition. It was a return but I don't think it was ever used. This was a good bargain, new condition. The price was excellent.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: A dream drill. Easy to use, and very powerful. Great for home and hobbies!

OK so most of us use a cordless drill as a daily driver these days, but what about those times that you need more RPMs, or your battery is dead? Yeah, if you tinker a lot, you probably need a corded 3/8 drill. I think if you used this drill daily on the job, the dollar store quality chuck would give up the ghost within a few weeks, if not a few hours. However, for the average tinkerer/homeowner the cheesy chuck shouldn't be a problem; at least it hasn't been so far for me. This is my drill inventory: BOSCH 18v cordless for 95% of my drilling endeavors. BOSCH is my favorite easy in power tool name brands, but for as little as I use a corded 3/8, the cost could not be justified. Milwaukee 1/2 corded for heavy stuff; I have an old USA model which is tough enough to mix concrete! And finally this Ryobi, which has served it's purpose well for small diameter drilling, rust removal with a sander attachment, and miscellaneous tinkering and Aggie-rigging. Recommend if you need a drill for stuff like this.

After my new first choice different brand drill broke right out of the box, I got this drill to install a deadbolt lock into a steel-clad exterior solid core door. It didn't balk at drilling the holes. It's a good weight, probably less than a battery-powered one and certainly less bulky. I never object to a factory reconditioned tool, knowing it's cheaper and has been looked at twice. I expect this one to be reliable for years, doing typical miscellaneous homeowner jobs.

Great general purpose drill, has a surprising amount of power for the size. No batteries to worry about if you prefer corded tools (I do), I think I might get another one.

Have had this for 2+ years. Would have expected no more from new.

Nice drill with plenty of power. UPDATE July 2025: The chuck is no longer working after using the drill a dozen times. The bits are loose and some even fall out. Very disappointed!

It’s was blow up fire and it’s not right! Broken inside hit me head! What I do.
