Pros: Very good choice for anything less than contractor grade.
Cons: Batteries could last longer
The Bottom Line: At $80 this is a steal, at $100 its still a good deal and once you get one, you'll wonder how you ever got along without one.

| Nate_Lee's Full Review: Ryobi Cth1202k2 12v Cordless Drill/Driver Kit |
This 12 volt Ryobi is one killer deal. It sells for 79.99 on sale at Home Depot and look what you get; 1 Drill, 2 rechargable batteries, 1 fast battery charger, and a hard carrying case with room for drill/screw bits. The performance has been flawless for home use. I have used it on many home fixer up jobs, constructed a built in wall entertainment theatre, and a 8 X 10 outdoor storage shed. Through it all it has never let me down in any instance. The battery will last for about 45 minutes of pretty steady use, it recharges fast..15 or 20 minutes will do a full charge. The auto clutch prevents over torquing, two speeds allow screwing or drilling, reversible trigger is accesible without changing handgrip and the built in chuck is efficient and fool proof. Whats more, the Ryobi has very good balance in the hand, everything is placed where it should be and feels "right". This 12 volt model is not contractor grade ( 14.4 or 18 volt) but for home use it is infallible.
