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 need to buy my husband a cordless drill for Christmas and I don't know which one to get. I was looking at a Craftsman that says it is 19.2 volt and then a Black and Decker that is 14.2 volts - which one is better. the Craftsman is cheaper (its on sale)

i want to get set of 18 volt cordless power tools, but i am too cheap to buy them all at once. Can i buy them from differnet brands and still expect the batteries to be interchangable?

What kind of drill do I need to easily drill holes into the cement sub-floor of my house (for a flooring project)? I've already tried two different types of masonry bits with my cordless, 18 volt Bosch (model 3850). I'm thinking that the bit isn't the problem, it's the drill. It takes about 10 minutes and a way too much effort just to drill one hole. Any suggestions?

Have been struggling with my manual precision screwdriver in opening up laptop, DSLR etc. electronics
I now have 3 different sets of manual screwdriver sets so want to buy 1 cordless screwdriver set which could help me with opening up electronic stuff and with basic stuff around the house.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...
Thanks Dookie - but would 7 Volt screwdriver not be harsh on delicate screws/body of DSLRs etc.?

Okay, I cannot afford a good cordless drill, so now I am looking at electric (corded) drills. I'm sure that the same things apply to corded drills as to cordless drills. However, on corded drills it appears that the power is measured in amps rather than volts. How many amps do I need to drill through wood and seat crews without stripping them? I went to Lowe's and see that an 8 amp Dewalt corded drill is .00 dollars as compared to an 18 volt Dewalt which is approx. 0.00. I know corded is not as convenient as cordless, but my budget is .00, (so I also need to think about the cost of an indoor/outdoor extension cord.)
Okay, now I'm confused. Dan H says that his Ryobi and Black and Decker are used in daily construction, which I assume is pretty heavy and active use. However, other people are saying that Ryobi's and B&D's have plastic internal parts and won't hold up. Which info. is correct?
