I have sworn off Ryobi tools based on my experiences over the past year.
Their Lithium Ion battery technology failed on my portable drill and THEY FAILED to own-up and support it after admitting in their correspondence that it was defective!
I'll be buying from other manufacturers in the future, which starts now as I need to replace Their drill after 2 years and 3 months.
