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.


Ryobi make tools in America and Japan.

The American versions, IME are c**p

The Japanese IME are far superior.
