Ryobi are considered decent tools and feels quality with the little play i have just had with it :)

I picked one of the cheap cordless Lidl ones a few years ago for around the same price and it's still going strong . If it was something I used everyday , it would probably be bolloxed now but for the few times a year it gets used it certainly does the job .

I've a cordless drill made by Ryobi though and it's a belter , good quality stuff . Might see if I can pick one these up :daumenhoch:

Wasn't at the Cheetham one was it Clint ? I was going to nip in B&Q earlier as the Mrs had me fookin traipsing round The Fort this afternoon >:(

Post by: NORTY40 on March 31, 2015, 10:54 PM: Handy piece of kit and a good price that Clint :daumenhoch:

I bought a Powercraft one from Aldi about 4 years ago and it's still going strong , it was about £12 with a 3 year guarantee ! :D Bought a palm sander at the same time for similar money and that's still going despite some severe use .
