There are many other features to like on the Ryobi, such as a sturdy side handle, a comfortable grip, good balance, and a lack of vibration as it goes about its work.

If it makes that number easily, it’s a pro tool. We consider anything over 100 holes in this test to deserve a rating of somewhere in the pro to prosumer range of power tools. In the end, that feature and a 4-Ah battery helped the tool rack up a lot of holes. It kept going and didn’t shut off due to thermal overload. The good news is that it also has a strong headedness that allows it to persevere, hole after hole. But at the bottom of a 1.5-inch-deep hole in Douglas fir, just before the bit punches through, that’s where the trouble starts. It’s fairly easy for a drill to make a one-inch-diameter hole through ¾-inch thick white pine.

The ONE+ HP 18V is a competent maker of holes and driver of screws.

To be clear, we call this a stubborn drill lovingly. With the 2.5-Ah battery, it weighs 5.2 pounds.

Although the drill is the same size as a large 18-volt drill, it is heavier than most of its competitors. It should be obvious that this drill is not petite. Three large icons (a hammer, a screw, and a drill bit) are easy to see, and this helps to quickly adjust the drill to the appropriate setting.

The absence of a manual clutch ring at the front of the drill simplifies set up for drilling, driving, or hammer drilling. Turn a knob just above its battery to set the torque limit of the clutch to disengage the drivetrain and motor. Instead of a clutch ring, like a normal drill, it has electronic drive torque control. This Makita’s engineering is masterful in other ways. That’s helpful drilling wood, but even more important drilling steel, where it’s far more difficult to balance the variables of motor speed, bit diameter, and steel hardness and thickness. Balancing that with its electronic speed control that maintains motor speed under load put us in the driver seat (okay, we’ll stop here with the sports car analogies). Fortunately, the tool has great control because all that power would be useless without being able to handle it properly. The GPH01D is the first tool we’ve tried in Makita’s new 40-volt XGT series, power tools with 40-volt motors but batteries that are the same size as a large 18-volt. Okay, it didn’t bore the most holes in this test, but it did get to its number faster than anything else. Knots don’t stop it and barely slow it down. So long as you keep that trigger pulled, it will just churn through hole after hole. Pull its trigger (floor it, if you will), and you just burn through one hole after another until the battery is done. Using this drill, you feel like somebody just tossed you the keys to their Ferrari. If you need this much power tool muscle you just need to have some muscle of your own. But as to the tool’s weight, we don’t count that as a mark against it. The other large-battery tools were the DeWalt (5.4 pounds) and the Makita (5.2 pounds), and these were also pro-duty, intended for either serious do-it-yourselfers or contractors. The FX1171T, with a 5-Ah battery, was the heaviest of the drills (5.8 pounds). You should know that this is clearly a heavy-duty tool intended for people who need maximum power and run time. We can’t fully vouch for that particular feature, but we can say that we pushed this Flex very hard and noticed no kick back the drill will pause momentarily if you really lean into it (call it a reset). The FX1171T blasted out its hole allotment, helped by its turbo mode setting that bumps up the top speed from 2,000 to 2,500 rpm.Īlso helping was the tool’s circuitry, which has an anti-kickback feature.

We’ve tried a batch of these tools (drills, saws, rotary hammers and grinders) and find them to be formidable competitors in the professional segment. And when we say “muscling in,” we’re not kidding. Flex, short for Flex Elektrowerkzeuge, is a German power tool company muscling its way into the American market.
