Since when has Ryobi been "a very good make"???
Unless you mean a good make for the price and origin (PRC)?

I think they make all sorts of qualities according to price. But that
there 'good' stuff is the equal of any maker.

I've just got the one Ryobi tool - a re-chargeable mini hobby drill,
which despite a lot of use is still on its original batteries after 5
years or so. Although it wasn't that expensive and bought from a shed I'd
say it's of the highest quality.

I suppose I am fairly happy with it. Not too happy with the vendor as
he never came back to me with an appology or anything. He probably got
hold of them with as much as he could afford, thinking like me, they
were genuine. I suppose he can't really afford to reimburse me. Which
bodes well for when it breaks!

Worse I just found out there is a trade supply shop not too far from
me. I might have got an excellent alternative from there. I'll have a
nose tomorrow. Nothing like having it bent over nowt is there?

I always thought Ryobi was in the top quality end of the scale.
