Recent talk about moving from the Ryobi Ni-Cads had me check out Home Depot.
They are running a couple of specials pre-Father's Day.
1st deal: $99 combo which includes 2 18v 1.3AH Li-Ion batteries, dual chemistry charger (Li-Ion and Ni-Cad) and two tools, your choice ofA, 1/2" drill and 1/4" impact driver
B. Reciprocating saw and 3/8" drill
C. Circular saw and 3/8" drill
I really only wanted the batteries and charger but figured by the time I spent $130 for the big batteries and standalone charger, I might just as well grab two tools and two of the smaller batteries for an additional $70. Now we have a nice cordless reciprocating saw that either of us can use for yard work, etc. Seems fairly sturdy so..
Finally, they have their BEST Li-Ion battery, the 4.0AH beast on sale in a special 2 for 1 pack which also sells for $99 or half price on the individual batteries.
If you have the original blue Ryobi tools and are looking to upgrade your power supply, now's the time to jump. I've never had a complaint with the tools themselves but the NiCad packs, being NiCads, are a piss poor PITA
