Bought the Ryobi from Home Depot with a 1 year carry-in warranty and 6 months on the chuck so I got 1 year before I need to worry about looking for another drill.



No pics yet, I picked it up last Thursday, it was on regular stock, I got it for like $39 or some ****. Keyless chuck, 3/8" VSR with a 24-position clutch and a 4.5 amp motor.

 

Ryobi's are fine if you use them occasionally I bought one of their jumbo packs and I think i have pretty much burned up all the batteries and the drill.

 

Mine's not cordless? I needed some real drilling power. That thing will put a 3" screw into a wall stud faster than you can say, "three inch screw into a wall stud."

 

That's been your problem all along, trying to hard to screw fast and not put the thing in strait.

 

Lubrication is the key to successful screwing!

 

Yea, don't try and force it. Just relax and let the bit do all the work.

 

**** screws, get a nail gun.

Excuse me sir, bur it's a well-documented fact that screws hold better than nails.

 

i know but i wanted to say "****" and "screw" in one sentence without it being sexually oriented .

I use the **** out of the nail guns, I have a framing nailer, finish nailer, brad nailer and finish stapler, it really depends on the appication.



I am thinking about going rigid on the next cordless set I buy, I have a worm drive skill saw by them and I really like it.
