I have a Ryobi 14.4 drill. It is about 7 years old and still going strong.

I also have a Ryobi rechargeable weed cutter that is about the same age. It
still holds a good charge.

I think Ryobi is a great overall value. Many magazine reviews agree.

My Ryobi set is 2 years old. The batteries (and everything else) are
good
as new. You are right about the circular saw being too small, but
otherwise
I love them.
I haven't found a situation where they weren't powerful enough.


Have the Ryobi 14.4 drill/saw combo, and the 9.6 drill/radio combo. Happy
with
them both.

My Ryobi weedwhacker is going on 7 years and still doing it's thing in a
long
growing season (9 months/year).

I realize they are not the best, but my own experience has been good value
for
the money.
