The battery on my old B&D cordless drill/driver seems to have packed
up.

I'd like to replace it with a cordless combi but most of them seem a
bit expensive for the use I'd find for it. Two cheapish examples I've
found are the Ryobi CMI-1202 - 12v Maxi Combi Cordless from Machine
Mart (£88) and the Erbauer 14.4V Combi Drill from Screwfix (£99).

I'd be grateful for opinion on which is the better of these two....I
can't really afford deWalt or Makita.

Ryobi.

Also, go to Wickes and look at their grey cased pro range at around £80-90.
Made by Kress in Germany and rebadged for Wickes. Well worth considering,
and they also have 2 or 3 yr guarantees. I would tend to go for the
Wickes/Kress machines.
