We give the Ryobi P271 Speed Drill Driver a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
Review Summary
Ryobi’s One+ tool universe would be nothing without the tried-and-true cordless drill/driver at its center. The P271 is a perfect journeyman tool in that sense. It is versatile in terms of torque power and motor speed and has a magnetic strip to hold on to your bit and screws as you work. It is very affordable, and that value is boosted tremendously by being part of the One+ family, where the battery you use for your driver is also good for a spotlight, the radio, or the leaf blower. The only drawback is, it’s a bit underpowered, but if you don’t ask too much of it, that isn’t much of a problem.

That allows you to use the same battery to power your P271 that you would an impact wrench or an inflator or a weed whipper. That means savings on buying a bunch of different kinds of batteries. It also means fewer headaches from unsnarling a tangle of power cords and figuring out which charger is designed for what battery. How good is the warranty for this drill? Ryobi offers the same two-year warranty for all of its One+ tools and accessories. Are there any features to help keep track of bits and screws? There’s a magnetic strip on it that will hold fast any bits or metal pieces you stick to it. Can this use old-style nickel-cadmium batteries? Yes. Ryobi’s P271 is a fine centerpiece to the company’s One+ system. it’s versatile in terms of bits it uses and allows wide customization in terms of torque and motor speed for just about any job. It’s lightweight for mobility. It’s also really affordable, and as part of the One+ system, that value gets a tremendous boost by sharing a common power source with so many other tools. It could be a little more powerful, but for any basic home project, it’s got enough muscle. Besides, as a One+ tool, there’s always room to amp up the power with an impact driver.
