Summary

4.1 stars, 1,100 Lowe's reviews. Homeowners say it's a good brushless drill at a Ryobi price. The 24V MAX platform runs at a higher nominal voltage, though real-world performance is comparable to 18V brushless competitors. Users appreciate the lightweight build and responsive trigger. Limited brand track record compared to established names.
