Nice drill; light weight, works well, but mine "looks" used! January 8, 2009 justwarren (Westport, CT) 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I think it's a good price and it's a really nicely designed, light weight, functional drill. Unfortunately, the one I got looks really "used". When I buy a factory reconditioned product, I am used to getting "looks like new" stuff. This one came in a fabric carrying case that was dirty! The drill has "recon" melted on the side of the drill and the batteries in sort of a sloppy way. That part of it is a little yuky looking. I am thinking if I had to do it over again, I would have liked to get a new one for the extra [...] bucks or so. Only problem is, for some reason no one sells this drill new, that I could find on the internet.
Overall, even with my gripes, it's a decent drill. It has an excellent weight & size to power ratio. It's quite compact and for it's size, it's very powerful. It does lack a clutch, which some people may prefer. I have little need for that and it just adds to the size and weight of the drill.
For the part time do-it-yourself-er, it suits the bill perfectly. I figure after I use it a few times it will get dirty and I'll forget it wasn't cosmetically perfect when I got it.
$69 for a new one at HomeDepot February 18, 2010 Donald MCCLURE (Siren, WI USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Just a note to say Home Depot is selling this model new for $69. I plan on buying one and will soon.
Great Little Drill! January 30, 2009 Lady Carpenter 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I recently purchased this drill new with 2 batteries & charger in a nice zippered case. I still consider it a bargain at $79.99. I have not yet had to change out batteries mid-job. Don't let it's small size fool you. It has plenty of power for most applications, not to mention the really cool chartreuse color. I love mine!
Good as new! February 15, 2009 Maurice J. Reagan 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRHP412KS 12-Volt Cordless Drill Driver Kit As described and works perfectly. Usually reconditioned products work better than new because they have been checked out by technicians, instead of assembled, boxed, and sent. And very attractively priced!!!
Review incomplete due to problem February 27, 2010 Pig Pen 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was in the middle of a project when my old drill died, which was a 3/8" Craftsman cordless. When I looked around for a comparable drill, I found that they have gotten pretty pricey. This Ryobi caught my eye. The company has a good reputation, and because I only use the drill a few times a year, I thought a reconditioned one would serve my needs. I ordered it from Amazon on Feb. 24, 2010 and it was delivered by FedX on Feb 26. Certainly prompt service, but I am in a state adjacent to Georgia where it was shipped from. I unpacked it and found that it was in a carrying case. I read the manual for the drill and charger. The manuals were new, printed for reconditioned units. I unpacked the battery, charger and drill, which had the 2nd battery attached. I tried to operate the drill but there was no response. I put the battery on the charger, and after a minute or two, the flashing light indicators indicated that the battery was defective. It would not charge. I charged the remaining battery and it charged fine. The drill then operated.
Before doing anything, I contacted CPORyobi support and the email response says they have submitted my request for a replacement battery to the factory. If I do not hear anything within 10 days, get back in touch. Consequently, me and my project are on hold. I read the fine print in CPO's return policy, and it says UNUSED items can e returned within 30 days for a refund. I am a patient guy, but my project is waiting. If I do not get a good battery within 10 days, I am going to get a refund and go to Lowes and buy a new one
This does bring up an issue I had not thought about. These units have been used, including the batteries, and you do not know how much life is left in them. New ones cost about the same as this drill, and that would double the cost of this bargain. I will update this review if and when the battery problem is resolved and I can actually try out the drill.
This is a March 10, 2010 update:
I received a replacement battery from the manufacturer today. I gave the drill a test run drilling a 1/4" inch hole in a 1/8" thick aluminum strip, and it worked fine, It is a light, nicely balanced basic drill, and should be adequate for my needs. I hope I get a few years out of it. CPO Ryobi lived up to their word.
