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.

      For durability go with the dewalt or other premium brands you can justify buying the cheaper tools and replacing them when they are much.

      Dewalt would easily kill Ryobi in a quality duel. However, Ryobi is cheap, but I would never buy another tool from them after my last drill. I buy Black and Decker.
