4.0 out of 5 stars Not for screws!, March 27, 2008

This review is from: Ryobi 18V One+ Right Angle ''Close Quarters'' Drill P240 (Misc.)
I have had many opportunities to use this drill to access tight quarters and the flexibility afforded by the rotating base makes it easy to use in places where my normal drill won't work. It has a lot of torque and I have been very happy with the battery life (although I do have two batteries that I keep in rotation.) There a few things you should be aware of: 1-it can be quite difficult to apply downward pressure on the bits in tight places, so although this right angle drill will get you in there, sometimes you need a third hand to apply pressure behind the drill head to get good penetration; 2-invest in some short bits when you buy this, as many times the normal length drill bit will cause you to not have enough space; and 3- there is no clutch on this drill, so driving screws is a bit tricky: it has a lot of torque and it is extremely difficult to moderate drill speed with the trigger. I have nearly stripped many screws and once even stripped my phillips driver.

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult chuck, September 29, 2008

This review is from: Ryobi 18V One+ Right Angle ''Close Quarters'' Drill P240 (Misc.)
I have used this drill a number of times going through studs in the basement and in walls in order to drill for electrical wire installation. The major gripe I have is that the chuck is very difficult to work when removing a drill bit. It does not have a key and there is not much room for 2 hands - one to hold and the other to unscrew. I have had to use pliers a number of times just to remove a bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars My most used / most prized Ryobi tool..., January 25, 2011

This review is from: Ryobi 18V One+ Right Angle ''Close Quarters'' Drill P240 (Misc.)
Out of all the Ryobi tools I own and use -- two drills/drivers, two saws, two vacs, stapler and two lights -- the right angle / close quarters drill gets the most use. Probably because this is the one tool I don't have a corded counterpart for (not for lack of want!), but also because it's finished the job in every situation.

Invaluable for drilling holes in closely spaced studs and joists, I've driven up to 3" hole saws with it. While those large cuts test the limits and battery capacity of this tool, I haven't yet had to break down and buy a corded version.

At another review has pointed out, the chuck is difficult to operate when tight. I simply grab the chuck (wearing gloves) and squeeze the trigger, and it loosens up every time. The bigger problem is perhaps the chuck loosening up, though I can use a similar "grip and squeeze" method to tighten it securely.

The base / battery holder rotates to provide additional room where it's needed for...Read more
