Great driver for the money
I bought this driver when I was starting to put sheet metal on a new barn I was building. I have now used it to put the screws in two new barns. The driver works great for the money. I looked at Lowe’s and a similar driver was $80-$100. I had a cordless driver but the batteries would give out by the end of the day. The clutch does slip a little bit and I don’t know that this is one of those tools that will “last a lifetime. But, for $30, if it quits tomorrow, I got my money’s worth.
Update (5/17/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Well built, great features, good power.
I recently picked up this Ryobi driver / drill to replace an aging Craftsman that was put to use permanently mounted to a drill press adapter. I love the power, the tool free chuck, and the variable clutch. A couple of wood screws set into counter sinks gave me a feel for how the clutch works, and I can set it to drive and seat wood screws right where I want them and have the clutch release when it should. The housing is mostly plastic, but that is to be expected of any power drill made within the last 30 years. The plastics chosen for the housing are very impact resistant, and the rubberized grip feels good in the hand and reduces vibration very well. The overall balance of the drill is very good. I rated this drill a 4 star instead of a 5 as it was missing a MAJOR feature I expect to see in a driver / drill which is a top and an end level. I’d like to know if I have the drill bit going in straight! Other than this shortcoming, this drill is every bit of as good of a drill as can be expected for a drill of it’s type. If it isn’t powerful enough, you might SERIOUSLY consider a 1/2″ hammer drill instead!

Very nice tool for a good price!
I used this to drill into the concrete block to install shelves. It worked well. It came with a useful manual and a nice box. In my case, it was a good deal!
