I have a Ryobi compact drill and noticed the reviews on the Ryobi drill bits are not so great.
I am thinking to get a different brand if possible.

The set that Ryobi makes is (Ryobi Speed Load Plus 17-Piece Titanium Drill Bit Set) from Home depot

I am looking for a do it all kind of set but will mostly be drilling into my walls which are some are stucco & some brick I also will be using on wood. Will not be doing metal so much not sure if a 4v drill can do that. I'm new to this so any advice helps. Thanks

I have a cordless drill, and some smaller bits (maybe up to 1/4").

Please provide tool names that can be searched on sites like: ACE, Home Depot, or Lowes.
I saw a 4" hole saw at the hardware store, but rather than a shaft on the other end, it had a hole about 1/4". No idea how to connect that to my cordless drill, or if a cordless drill is appropriate. Must be a hole saw by itself is not sufficient.

I did a search on my question and found that people were saying to buy a carbide tip drill bit for stainless steel. I don't think these planks will be stainless steel. Plus, they said having a cordless drill might not work well since you don't get a steady supply of power like you do from a corded drill, like I have.

While I'm asking that, will Home Depot or another place cut the planks of steel to my asking length? I need them to be about 4 feet long (from left to right) and I only need 2 holes in each plank, one hole on each side and I'll be buying two planks and they'll be about 2 inches wide (from top to bottom).

Thanks!

i just bought a dewalt 14.4 v cordless drill from home depot.Should i get a screw driver set too from dewalt or just some local brand?

My bridal party has asked me what kind of shower I would like, knowing I would hate a lingerie shower. My first thought is a tool shower! Though I am VERY girly, I also love building things and since we just bought our house, plan some major renos. I have the standard things but, hey, you can never have too many cordless drills! There's lots of little things I could still use (staple gun, etc) all they way up to majors (skill saw). Would this be too odd? I have ALL the cooking stuff (down to lemon zesters, etc.) and really don't need anything else! I'm hesitant to ask them for this!
Home depot doesn't have a registry (at least in Canada) but Canadian Tire does and they have a GREAT tool selection, once again from staple guns and titanium drill bits to saws! My fiance laughed intially (me getting the tools) but since he bought me a jig saw for Christmas, he should be used to it by now!

Rule #1: When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he Already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why.
Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. "By-the-way, are you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why.
Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99-cent ice scraper, a small bottle of deicer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.
Rule #4: Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buy men bathrobes. I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts.
Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen TV with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and flips.
Rule #6: Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs. If you do, it will sit in a cupboard for 23 years. Real men drink whiskey or beer.
Rule #7: Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after shave or deodorant. I'm told they do not stink - they are earthy.
Rule #8: Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. Socks. Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink. You get the idea. No one knows why.
Rule #9: Never buy a man anything that says "some assembly required" on the box. It will ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over.
Rule #10: Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber, Home Depot, John Deere, Valley RV Center, and Les Schwab Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts and Sears' Clearance Centers are also excellent men's stores. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what it is. "From NAPA Auto, eh? Must be something I need. Hey! Isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford Fairlane? Wow! Thanks.")
Rule #11: Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook - but they will barbecue. Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants a hamburger?"
Rule #12: Tickets to a Red Wing/Lions/Pistons/Tigers game are a smart gift. However, he will not appreciate tickets to "A Retrospective of 19th Century Quilts." Everyone knows why.
Rule #13: Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chainsaw. If you don't know why - please refer to Rule #8 and what happens when he gets a label maker.
Rule #14: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one knows why.
Rule #15: Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at least The Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8" manila rope. No one knows why.

For some reason it's hard to find. The bit looks like a typical #3 Phillips, but in between the four "blades", there are four smaller "fins" that grip when I am installing long lag bolts. Lowe's and Home Depot have no clue. I need proper name, and possible source.

Im in the market for a 12 volt cordless screwdriver lithium ion. Im debating in between the Milwaukee M12 screwdriver and the Dewalt 12 volt max. My dad has the Milwaukee M12 which we bought 3 years ago.Other than having the batteries replaced once under warranty tool is working great. I went down to my local home depot and held the Dewalt 12 volt max and its very comfortable and feels like it was made for my hand. I have four Dewalt tools over the years. Ive always been told its a comemricial Black N Decker. Im a more heavier Milwaukee user though. But in order to get the Milwaukee M12 to stand up like the Dewalt, i have to get the XC battery pack for another . I thought Id ask tool users which one they prefer and why Milwaukee M12 screwdriver or Dewalt 12 volt max screwdriver?
