In my area some of these combo deals were OOS earlier this week. (2) 4.0 amp batteries plus free tool for $99:

But I already have a Rigid... =(

Some nice 2 battery + stuff -- blower, impact, orbit sander, hammer drivll, sawzall.

Spend $400 and end up with 4 tools and 8 big 4.0 batteries...

Wish it was lifetime warranty like my rigid..

THEY'LL SHIP ALL THE REGULAR RYOBI STUFF TO THE STORE, BUT NOT THE DEALS!

Damn you Li-ion fire-packs!

Need a recommendation. The drill I bought from Harbor Freight a few years ago (don't really remember when) has died. Won't hold a charge. I'm not much of a DIY'er. Maybe need to drill something twice a year. But I think every homeowner should have a drill.

Are any of these Ryobi deals suitable for my limited need? Are they overkill?

For lawn/garden tools I'm heavily invested in the Ego battery system already but I don't think they have any power tools.

I am that Masked Man.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

There really isn't a "deal" with a basic 1/2 drill/driver.

Theres a kit with drill + impact for about $100 with some smaller batteries... should be more than fine.

EDIT this one: [www.homedepot.com]

might not ever use the impact, but its $20 more than the drill alone and you get another battery.

My Rigid has the smaller battery, goes for a very long time doing standard everyday stuff. Still on the same battery for the last 6 months or so... even after installing a dozen bamboo shades last weekend. about 100 screws.

The big batteries are great if you want to use bigger stuff, like a sawzall, or a circ saw, etc.

Honestly, mine got heavy after awhile, I would prob pickup a compact set.

If you need a drill only occasionally, I'd just pick up an old corded drill, which you'll have for the rest of your life.

....who will be working that......tool......???

actually i still have my late brother’s corded drill. it’s probably older than my son and he’s 27. definitely the cord is a factor when i contemplate using it. similar to having a guitar in a case. taking it out is not a big deal but guitars in a stand get plays more often.

Plus, you don't need to charge a battery to use it. Batteries don't like to just sit around.
