My wife bought me a Ryobi to replace my 10 year old Bosch cordless
Even on it's last legs, the Bosch is still better

I bought a $50 GMC crappy 12V one 6 years ago. A few battery replacements. But its still going strong.

Kinda off topic. What are everyone's complaints with the Ryobi's and the like?
For the occasional use I would give a cordless drill, I've considered getting the real cheapies (Ozito?) only because I could buy 10 of them for every decent Makita. Economies of scale point me in that direction. Just a thought.

I have one of those 18v Ryobi ones and although its only a year old, its been through tough times (as it should) and i havnt been able to fault it yet
If you dont like Ryobi then yeah Makita is a step in the right direction Ozito's are damn cheap, i have one of their jigsaw's and its been fine also, cuts through wood/metal etc with the right blades fine

ryobi has a good replacement warranty and also quite attractive 30 day satisfaction garantee.
however they have very poor batteries, this is not covered under warranty. Also the charge time on the batteries are quite poor as the same with the ozito and the GMC. you can purchase the fast charge range however, the batteries tend to last 6 months. bosch you have the green range which is household use which isnt bad but they are shocking when waiting for somethin to be fixed. blue bosch which is trade is quite good but again same warranty department and you find yourself waiting up to 2 months. however, makita which are quite resonably priced and are trade warranty. they have a return warranty which goes back to factory and gets repaired unless it cant be. very rare to see one returned |

I have a B&D cordless hammer 18V - still going strong 3 years later.
Panasonic FTW - but probably beyond budget. |
