Dave asked:


I’m looking to buy new cordless power tools where every tool uses the same battery and these are my two choices. What is your opinion? Got any better suggestions? Thanks!

      Dewalt is heavier duty than Ryobi. Motors and battery last longer with Dewalt.

      If you’re looking for durability, go with the Dewalt. That said, however the Ryobi is still a good choice. Since they are much less expensive than Dewalt or other premium brands, you can justify buying the cheaper tools, and replacing them when they wear out. Another brand to consider is Kawasaki. I recently (3 months ago) purchased one of their 21 volt cordless drills. It performs as well as a friend’s Dewalt, and was less than half the price.
