home depot has a 189 drill for 99. 18 volt. the brand is rigid. is that
a good brand or is ryobi better? my bandecker is dying.

Ryobi is crap, IMO. The Ridgid drills are fairly new in the market but are
supposed to be OK. Check the warranty as they were offering a lifetime,
including batteries, for a while and that would make it a good deal.

I'll put my Panasonic 15.6 V up against most any 18V drill on the market and
have more power and less weight.
