P238 GRIPZONE OVERMOLD: The grip on the P238 has a rubber molding that makes the tool and your hand work together better, even in slippery places.
You can keep your attention on the task at hand without having to worry about shadows being cast on your work. The lighting unit below the keyless chuck has three LED lights.
BELT CLIP: Keep this on you all day with this belt clip. With it, you can quickly get to the impact driver and leave your hands free to do other things.
If you want to use this tool with Ryobi’s 18V battery, you can. The P100, P102, P103, P104, P105, P107, and P108 are all compatible.
If you need to do a lot of heavy-duty work, like drive lag bolts through your porch, look no further than the Ryobi P238 impact driver. This gives off a lot of torque while still being small and light so that you can have the best control possible. Besides its powerful motor, which is able to rotate at about 3,100 RPM (which can be changed by a 3-speed switch depending on how hard your job is), there are a lot of other features that give you as much control as you can. There is a gripzone rubber molding on top of the pistol grip so you can use this even if the ground is slippery. There is also a belt clip on the side so your hands can be free to do other things on complicated jobsites. In addition, a tri-beam LED is located just below the keyless chuck. When you pull the trigger, the LED lights up so your work subject isn’t obscured by shadows. If you’re working at home or on a professional job site, this tool from Ryobi will come in handy. The item is shipped in a lot of boxes.
I’ve used Ryobi tools for years for DIY projects, so when I got a job that required me to bring my own tools, I kept them. I got this for $75 on sale. This model is so cool. They are good when I need a lighter touch. But when it’s on high, be careful. It has a lot of power. The other guys at work all have Dewalt tools. My Ryobi isn’t just similar, it does the same job and the batteries last longer than the Dewalts.
I work as a garage door tech, which means that when we install a new door, we have to tear down the old one, get through the rusty, tight bolts, and then build the new one.
Do not do this: I dropped it off the top of my 6 foot ladder. At first it bounced, then it spun around and landed on the garage floor. NOTHING ON IT.
For some reason, I bought this. I had a lot of batteries and was going to use them until they ran out and then I would have to use Dewalt. Ryobi is still my favorite tool, and I won’t give it up for anything. Even if it dies tomorrow, I’d buy this at the higher price even though it costs more. The thing is a monster, and it hasn’t let me down at any point. As a side note, I also like that Ryobi batteries can keep giving full power all the way to the end. I have extra batteries, so if one runs out of power, it won’t be a big deal. I don’t want to push the tool with a weak battery because it will wear down the tool.
People at work love my Ryobi if they all have Dewalts and have been working on garages for a long time. That means a lot.
First, I used Dewalt as a training kit that the company had. I didn’t notice a big difference in power between the two.
It’s hard for you to tell by now, but I’m in love with my Ryobi: 0.
This is a no-brainer for any project because the prices are so much lower than the big names.
I have two 18v ion+ 1.5 amp batteries in my tool bag, and I also have a 4 amp battery in my truck just in case.
When I need to do a whole installation, I can do it with just one 1.5-amp battery.
Also, I want lights and a fan. I also want to buy router, jigsaw, router, and other “cool” toys, too. If there are any sales on batteries, I’m going to try and get one of those huge chargers that can charge 6 batteries at once.
It has been a long time since I’ve had the batteries, but only one of them died right away. The others haven’t lost a thing, even though I charge them and don’t fully drain them all the time.
I have a drill, a circular saw, and a reciprocating saw. I have never regretted giving up the power of a cord.
