I'm sure it'll work out fine...I'm not going to be using it to drill into steel plate or concrete...drywall, wall studs, et cetera, is pretty much it. Oh, another brand with few returns: Rigid. Ryobi has very good cordless tools. You can go with Craftsman, but you'll be paying twice as much for the same, exact Ryobi. The only difference is the outside. Everything inside is the same as Ryobi. Made in the same factory, same line. Cite, please? John (Gun Nut) H. My eyes. I don't know anything about Ryobi, except that I see the brand at Home Depot, Lowes, and at indy hardware stores. Their products look much the same as everyone else's these days. |

Here, idiot: http://tinyurl.com/7rssor5 Ryobi Ryobi is one of the leading brands of cordless drills. Ryobi drills are made by TTI, which also makes the Rigid, Craftsman and Milwaukee brands. Ryobi cordless drills are geared to the consumer market and are available in multiple sizes, weights, and voltages. Ryobi is known for the One+ rechargeable battery that can be used among a variety of products. Ryobi cordless drills are available in NiCd and Li-Ion battery types. Ryobi and Rigid drill drivers are exclusive to Home Depot. Thank you. I learned something. Does the name-calling help your ego? John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

Hi guys, I have a couple of Dewalt drills that I use, drill bit in one hex driver in the other. Saves me a lot of bit changing. After about 4 years the batteries wouldn't last very long. I checked the price of new ones and it seemed better just to buy a new drill. Then I ran across a rebuilder of batteries, the price was much better and they said their batteries were slightly higher capacity. I sent in two batteries for rebuild, that was Sept. 09, now 4 years later the batteries are still going strong and I have not noticed any decline in capacity. I recommend them. I'm affiliated in any way, just a happy customer. They replaced the original NiCad's with NiMh, and the charger has worked properly. MTO battery http://www.mtobattery.com/store/ Mikek |

You can go with Craftsman, but you'll be paying twice as much for the same, exact Ryobi. The only difference is the outside. Everything inside is the same as Ryobi. Made in the same factory, same line. ------------------------------ I bought one of the 18 volt cordless Craftsman "kits" at Sears back in 2000. It had the drill motor (with hammer drill setting), the little circular saw and a "Sawsall" type saw I used them almost daily in Florida building a very large, fenced horse paddock for my wife's horses, decks, and all kinds of projects over the past 13 years. They rarely sat idle for more than a few days because with a barn and horses, there is always something to repair or build. Last winter I used them daily building the stage and additional rooms at the new guitar shop. They must have had 100s of hours of use and abuse over the 13 years. I had three NiCad batteries that were the originals that came with the set and they also lasted for 13 years of fairly heavy and regular use. The batteries finally gave up the ghost about halfway through the construction at the guitar shop last winter. I would have bought new ones if I could find them, but I figured I had certainly got my money's worth over 13 years, so I ended up buying a new set. Decided to try a PortaCable 18 volt set. So far they seem fine but I doubt they will last 13 years under the same level of use like the Craftsman set did. I don't know who was making them for Craftsman back in 2000, but they were good. I've taken my DeWalt batteries into these guys for a rebuild at about half the cost of a new battery. They just replace the cells. If the battery is held together with screws, there's no problem. Some of the cases are glued together. If so, they make no guarantees, but won't charge if they break the case trying to get it open. Since the batteries were shot anyway, I didn't care if they broke the case. The rebuilt an 18V and a 12V. John (Gun Nut) H. Whooops. Here's the URL: http://www.batteriesplus.com/ There are some in MA. John (Gun Nut) H. They can also upgrade your battery pack to make it run longer between charges. I took two DeWalt batteries there and they are better than new. |
