[Shop-talk] homeowner/ shop guy cordless drill

[Jim Franklin]

Rememebr you're buying a platform unless you're from another planet and will only ever buy the drill :-)

For home maintenance hobbyist car stuff the Ryobi will be fine. For "I'm putting an addition on my house" then I like DeWalt 20v stuff. 

Ryobi had a 4" or so circular saw an ex lent me and it was great for cutting cedar shingles while on a pitched roof. Anything heavier/stronger would have been unusable. Ryobi also has a line of garden tools that might share a battery platform.
