This driver is 8.5” tall (with battery) and 6.5” long. It is quite petite, but definitely powerful. The black rubber is comfortable, and, with the 1.5Ah battery snapped in place, it feels well balanced. That driver weighed 4 pounds with its 20Wh battery attached (20Wh is 1.1Ah at 18V).

I would recommend the new Ryobi ONE+ 18v Compact Brushless drills to any journeyman carpenter or DIY home hobbyist!

Then next morning, they want to fight me to use the new ONE+ Compact Brushless drill! LOL! In all seriousness, for the weekend hobby carpenter or for the daily Industrial carpenter, Ryobi builds great tools that are reliable and strong to withstand time. One of the key points that tipped the scales for me in favor of the new Ryobi is because the new charger will also charge batteries that fit my older Ryobi. I have owned another Ryobi 18v drill for 20 years (see photo) and it has been a workhorse for DIY home projects from building decks to remodeling my home, hanging curtain rods and blinds, and even mixing sheetrock joint compound, and only replaced the 2 batteries & charger during 19 years! As I compared the many mfgrs' and models, I found this new Ryobi ONE+ compact 18v Brushless to have the correct size and balance, and I have been astonished how much lighter this tool is than my previous rechargeable drill, but with far more torque and run time per battery.
