Buying an 18v drill a few years ago after doing much research I concluded that a Ryobi would suit me fine, but I have since tore the internals up. This Milwaukee 2601 is smaller, lighter and better built. The specs said it has more torque but I wondered if I would be able to tell the difference. Absolutely. I could more or less controll the Ryobi if the bit ever got stuck, but this one will twist your wrist right off. I have to use much less effort in both drilling and driving applications, this drill does all the work.
This milwaukee is the best in the class of compact drills with compact batteries. This drill is a most excellent and capable tool. It has the shortest head length of any 18v drill, it will bring 18v power to places others just can't fit. While not being the lightest, it is the lightest to have all metal gears. The battery lasts quite well for anything you shouldn't be using a full size maybe even hammer drill for. A 30 min recharge time on the battery isn't the quickest, but not doing it too quickly most likely extends the battery's life.
As to some other reviews, when considering a drill, be smart about it. You don't need a machine gun to take out varmint, and it's going to take some work to down an elephant with a varmint gun. Get the right tool for what you're going to be doing with it. For anyone considering this drill, if you want a lightweight, compact yet powerful drill to reach for everytime and anytime a hammer drill isn't required, this is it. You aren't going to be breaking into a concrete bunker with it, and it's overkill for hanging a picture but it will handle just about everything in-between.
