Tools and Hardware Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Ryobi ZRHP496K 9.6-Volt Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
Customer Review: Great tool for the right user
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a mid-range tool, and I mean no insult by that. Some people have hands big enough to wrap around a heavy handle, but my wife has a more delicate build. Some people have enough strength that the mass of a high-energy, high-power battery is an acceptable load, but her strength isn't in her hands. And some people have major construction tasks, big repairs, and who-knows-what to drive a drill or screw into next. She has just the usual household fixit work to deal with, or maybe a bit more than some households.
She's always shied away from the beefier power tools, and I respect her evaluation of her control over that mechanical power. She's also ridiculed the little, wimpy 1.8V screwdrivers. It took a bit for her to make friends with this model, but she did. Now, I can't get near it. Remember those seagulls in "Finding Nemo", with the mine-mine-mine? That's her with this cordless.
I've bought three of the 9.6V units so far: one for her, one for a niece just starting her own first fixup apartment, and one for my 80-ish parents. (I love my dad, but he has to be realistic now about how many horsepower of whirling blades he really ought to handle.) And, in most states, it costs less than a carton of cigarettes - and you'll still have it next week.
The pack of bits that comes with it is mostly complete, but not the most durable. You'll have one of each: straight, Philips, square-drive and Torx (each in a few sizes), some drill bits, and more. Don't expect them to last, although each one will give you modest service. Not to worry, you can get lots more of each kind of bit when you need them. The motor is what counts here, and especially the feel of it in your hand. Ladies, please step right up. It's not pink and it's not a girltool, but that's not what a strong woman wants. It's does real work like you do, it works hard like you do, and it may well fit your hand. Try it.
It's not the biggest, baddest thing on the block. Be real, though. If you're not Schwarzenegger, maybe you really want something better proportioned to your hand and strength. This is good for lots of people who have lots of important work to get done.

PS: I'm reviewing the new tool, not reconditioned, but couldn't find the product page for the factory-fresh one. If I find a page for the new tool, I'll move the review.
