Stop in for a cup of coffee

But I’ve had pretty good luck with Ryobi so far. We shall see. The ones I’ve not had good luck with have been Dewault. One their batteries last about 6 months and then just won’t charge. Two, I’ve had the chucks on their drills fail twice.

And I’ve not tried their 20V, mine was their 18V kit

We have a lot of Dewalt stuff at work. I think the chuck in the new 20V is crap compared to older 18V drill. Don't know that either battery is better. Just got some new packs for the 18s and I think they last pretty good. I had similar experience with Ryobidrill from 3-4 years ago dropping bits at previous job.

True but if you notice, certain stores only carry certain models. I do think that matters as well

I think some are 'made to order' under different part #s. Usually very minor changes from other tools. Just so it's harder to make direct comparison of features and cost.
