i do like ryobi as you know
but i agree you have to band the tools to give you a better comparason
also the ryobi price is either a very special offer or they have forgoten that they have quoted the "naked "price

we are all ------------------still learning

I heard that the Ryobi tools are not as good as some of the others in the same price range.

It's a bit different in the UK than the US yourweb

We get ripped off over here, it is cheaper for us to buy dewalt and Makita from the USA and get it posted over+ pay import duty then it is to buy the tool over here

I wish we had a toolbarn over here - http://www.toolbarn.com/

I may be able to organise some product tests for you.

We (Buck and Hickman) normally test our Roebuck Brand in industry to see if they are up to scratch. Normally companies like Kwik Fit test the air tools, but very often we need testers to let us know if the range is worthy of being released. If you are intersted I will speak to our product guys to see if it is possible and if there are any products that need testing in the near future.

DIY. I'm lovin it!

Main problem I've found with Which reports, is that they take so long to publish results, and they have been superseded.

PS. I have a 710watt Jumbo-tech drill (bought for me by Mrs M). Probably a Chinese rebadged model that they make for all and sundry, goes ok, but the chuck has been replaced.

Slugs, this may not be of interest to you but i can pretty much say i will happily test any tool for you. i'm not after freebies, i actually mean that i tend to abuse the industrial tools for trades. i have been using my 18V Dewalt battery drill for 3 years now. i have used 22mm/12" masonry bits in it. i have used 2" core cutters in it and even used a 4" core cutter once because i was too lazy to get my electric drill out.
i am slightly heavier than average so i tend to lean a lot of weight onto tools too.

if they can last my working with them, they are definitely good for sales

I hadn't realised that Roebuck was Buck & Hickman's brand. I have owned a Roebuck half inch socket ratchet for well over 40 years. It certainly doesn't owe me anything. In my days when I tinkered with cars that ratchet was in use daily.

It only goes to show if you buy good quality tools and look after them they will last.

every one have some problem with every model,
then which one is best to buy? i m asking coz i have around 200 euro for drill and i would like to buy cardless and i m just worried about battery as i m not big user and how about charging i mean 14volt or 18 volt and how about speed? can any one please through some light on it???

wasim21k i highly recomend these drills. there cheap enough and ive had the 14 volt version for 10 years. i just fancied upgrading as these were a very good price. 2 batterys and a 1 hour charger aswell.
