We measured another series of tests using a 1-1/2″ Milwaukee SwitchBlade Self-Feed Bit. In fact, it’s still able to drive a 1″ auger bit handily. With the efficiency rating creeping below the 70% mark, it’s taking an effort from the motor, but it’s capable of more. While Ryobi is on the lower side of that range, it continues to hang out with Milwaukee and Hilti. While DeWalt’s DCD797 zipped through with 1948 RPM, the rest of the class ranged from 1089–1409 RPM. The Ryobi P252 averaged 1,189 RPM in this test-69% of its tested no-load speed. Speed Testingįor our speed under load tests, we started with a 3/4″ Bosch Daredevil High-Speed Auger Bit. Milwaukee (2801), Makita (XFD12), and Hilti (SFC 22-A) all tune their compact models in around the same point.

The class ranges from 98.0 in-lbs to 312.0 in-lbs, putting Ryobi on the lighter side. Our soft torque test rig showed us that the Ryobi cordless drill squeezed out an average 130.8 in-lbs of torque. For more information about how we test, check out our Best Drill Head to Head Review. We test soft torque and speed under load as performance indicators. A two-speed gearbox lets you choose between higher torque or speed, with a maximum speed of 0–1,800 RPM (1735 no-load RPM in our tests) that you control via the variable speed trigger. It features a 23+1 position clutch, which really allows you to get real specific with your driving depths. The Ryobi P252 features a brushless motor for better runtimes, more power, and longer motor life. Overall 18V Budget Drill Ranking: 2nd Place

Overall 18V Compact Drill Driver Ranking: 11th Place Most importantly for Ryobi 18V One+ users, it’s a fantastic value, especially in its 2-tool combo form. It also turns a corner for the brand, rising from the bottom of the pack into the middle for size and weight. Its feature set checks off the right boxes and introduces a hybrid chuck to grab driver bits more easily. On the other, it didn’t have any trouble completing the work we asked it to do. Compared to the rest of the compact class, the Ryobi P252 18V One+ Compact Brushless Drill’s performance ratings aren’t great on one hand.

The final results are a bit of a mixed bag.
