I thank you for checking out this video, Im just your average guy having Fun with tools. I test tools out to see what these tools can do, and what they can't do. Please Subscribe to the channel and get that tool fix here. Have a great day!

I have the P251 and it's my first Ryobi product. When i bought it i was skeptical at first to how it would hold up to others like Dewalt and i have to say i am now a Ryobi fan! It has been an incredible drill so far and I've owned it for 4, almost 5 years now. Very good drill for its price, I recommend them!

Awesome video man this channel is objectively the best place to watch tool vs videos.

I own the RPD18X and buyed this in Germany at BAUHAUS. I think the RPD18X is the european similar Model to the PBLHM101 with one little difference. On Paper they have difference Torque: RPD18X=95Nm, PBLHM101=85Nm
I am very satisfied with this Tool. It makes fun to work with. Good Test and a professional Video 👍

Hey thanks for the review. this was the one I was waiting to see cause I have the old model and I was wondering if it's worth upgrading. Also I appreciate the concrete test cause I drill alot of that for tapcon screws. I think you should include concrete test in a verses video or a review cause they are hammer drills. I've watched alot of your hammer drill videos and it seems rare to see concrete test. But thanks again Im leaning more now to upgrading

Glad to see this comparison as well. Either one of these Brushless versions would spank the older brushed versions.

Ryobi definitely made a major update. I am glad I purchased the new Hammer Drill. Great review!

Where’s Tim from Canada with the negative comments 😂🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

the old p251 did a good job at keeping up...new hammer drill great if u wanna upgrade.

[Wrencheasy]

Not arguing performance here but I think the HP tools are lacking a lot of the nice features of previous brushless models. You’ve lost the magnetic holder, bit holder, and the battery doesn’t have rubber molding.
If you’ve got a real reason to upgrade or old one breaks it would make sense. Otherwise I’d say stick with your current tools.
That being said the outdoor HP tools look like big improvements. The 18in 40V chainsaw looks like a beast, new string trimmer looks great, they’ve added the augers to the line up, etc.

Not sure why you decided to use the newer battery technology on just the newer drill... You must use at least a four amp hour and optimally a 6 or 9 hour to get full power from the HP tools that have the two extra connectors.... You could have at least use the same battery on both tools for a fair comparison

They look sweet bro thanks for sharing your getting better and better at YouTube

[jasonnguyen]

Hey can you test this against the non fuel milwaukee Hammer drill?
They both should have the same torque at 750 inch pounds

Now this is what I wants to really know. If upgrading is needed or not.

[maxrus]

What is better to take, new HP, or Dewalt, similar in price.

Maybe it is me - but saw some video from Ryobi themselves - speed 2 is for bits and screws into someting. Speed 1 is for all kinds of drilling. Speed 2 only for screws - slower speed to not damage screws. So nothing alarming here with speed 2 - not meant to be able to that. Doesnt it state so in the manual ?

The new ryobi drill and impact drill are great but they should of kept the lights by the actual chuck where you need it. Then they could of put a magnet tray which is another great/ handy tool.

[tensazero]

The old version is adequate for drilling if both feet are on the ground. It just takes longer. There is also a chuck slipping problem. That is solved by using clutch mode to tighten. I don't see a reason to update. However, the SDS hammer Ver2 is worth looking into as an upgrade. When you're up on a ladder, the old hammer drill is a NOGO.
This new hammer drill is impressive, but I'd recommend a different color.

Do a side by side video of Ryobi HP drill vs its equivalent priced brother HP impact driver.

Yesterday I was using an old P214 Hammer Drill that hasn't been used much with a 3/16" Tapcon bit for some 1/4" x 1 3/4" Tapcon screws and it wouldn't hold that bit unless I tightened it with the chuck gripped in a bench vise. I pick a new P251 some months ago and have yet to use it. Is the chuck on the P251 any better than the chuck on the P214. Now I will say this was the toughest concrete I've ever drill into, it's a heavy equipment shed and I suspect the man that had it built spend extra on some type of high strength concrete which don't get me wrong is great. Thanks!

[jackyc]

The old drills is it PSBHM01? Thank you

[shadowbanned]

Do the first test on speed two using the hammer selection seems to kick ass for me with those sort of drill bits...Bit of a bogus comparison at 3:45 it took an extra 3 seconds for the cutting edge to reach the timber over the second test.
