Overview

The RYOBI PCL206B is an 18 volt cordless drill driver measuring roughly 7.3 by 7 inches and weighing 2.5 pounds. Its compact body and 1750 RPM top speed suit drilling and driving tasks around the house rather than heavy demolition work.

At 2.5 pounds this drill is light enough for overhead work and one handed driving, and its 18 volt power source draws from RYOBI's wider cordless lineup. The listing does not specify whether a battery or charger ships in the box, so confirm the exact bundle before buying if you do not already own RYOBI 18V packs.
