I am a retail construction superintendent and work all over the US. Drywall framers use their battery tools more than any other trade, all day every day. I never see Ryobi, Bosch or Milwaukee. Seldom see Ridgid. Dewalt and Makita are predominant. The white Makita Impact driver used to be just about all I saw framing metal drywall studs.

Why is ryobi so crappy?

Just a feel thing for me. Also seemed that the battery life was a bit short, but then again they were NiCad, not Li-ion like my Bosch are. My Bosch feels better made, more rugged. Just my .02.

10-4. It will just be for around the house use.

Don't know if anyone is in the market, but Home Depot has a pretty good deal on cordless tools right now. Could save up to $150 on a combo.

I have a 20V MAX XR combo and 20V circular saw on the way.
