This specific drill only makes a laughable 150in-lbs. Ryobi's mid-tier brushed drill makes 515in-lbs and can be had as a bare tool on eBay for ~$30. Their Brushless drill makes 850in-lbs, and in terms of torque, is roughly on-par with Dewalt's 'good' offerings and only maybe 30% behind Milwaukee.
So if you buy this, just realize you're getting the lowest, gutter-tier drill they make and its capabilities are very limited. Don't expect to be using a hole saw with it or driving anything other than small screws. This is a tool that doesn't have an equivalent tier from the 'better' brands because they wouldn't want to tarnish their branding by making it.
The battery, on the other hand, is perfectly adequate for lightweight tasks. Don't expect good performance out of it if you try to use it with thirstier tools like a circular saw or one of the large shop vacs -- while 2.0Ah batteries may FIT in any tool, they can't sustain the wattage needed to run the hungry ones for long, and they can't provide the peak current needed for those tools to reach their rated performance (this is true across all brands, and doesn't apply just to Ryobi). Their primary selling point is that they're light and can run less demanding tools without adding a lot of bulk ... but if you want your impact wrench to break that rusty old nut or your 7-1/2 circular saw to maintain speed while cutting a 2x4, get at least a 4.0ah bare minimum, and preferably 8.0 or larger.

P.S. I also find it hilarious that this junk tool comes with a 2Ah HP battery.

Btw - If I wanted a new standard drill/driver and didn't care about brand I'd get something like this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMA...5018

I just don't think its a good value, even if it has some uses.
The other deal posted here for a non name drill driver https://slickdeals.net/f/19741254 seems a lot better, at least based on specs.
