I have burnet out two ryobi cordless drills putting down a deck at my house. After the second one went I asked them for money back. If you use them a lot, they tend to melt a bit. Same goes for a ryobi jigsaw, that wasnt under warrenty though, ended up buying a bosch.

Pannasonic Milwalkee (Atlas copco) then Hitachi, Makita Bosch, Dewalt |

We have a Makita hammer drill at our bakery, which has been used every now and then for the past 15 years...never missed a beat.
Our home one is a GMC, and its still working well also after about 2 years of occasional use. Bought it because it was on sale for around $29 if I recall, which is damn cheap in my books. I have a Bosch Ixo cordless screwdriver with Lithium Ion batteries, and it works a treat....beats having to use a normal screwdriver when assembling furniture!! |

If you not going to use it much and for a small project just go the GMC range, they are good value for money and you will get your moneys worth out of them. If you want to use everyday then save up and get a HILTI.

Agreed ^^^ At work we run dewalt cordless drills through the whole workshop. Constantly taking the things back for warranty repairs. Have had it all, from chucks falling apart, gears getting stripped, motors seizing and even had one that caused the battery to start pouring smoke out of it... They are getting used pretty much 8 hours a day 5 days a week but for the price of them i dont think they live up to their name... As for ryobi, anyone tried getting parts?? Got a drill press at work that was out of action for 3 months waiting for a new power button to be sent from sydney. |

for the cheapies i have a gmc does the job works great gotta get at least 18volt though. i also find the black and decker fire storm range are very good prob bit better than the gmc .
