Hi Guys:
As most of you probably know, I love tools, have all my life.
Anyway the Ryobi drill I have been using for my models had a battery failure the other day (after only 8 years !) replacement batteries cost more than a new drill. I went to Home Depot to look around and found a really small drill. It is also a Ryobi, 2-speed (200 & 600 RPM), 4.0V Li-Ion battery, hex slide chuck, 40 in/lbs torque which is plenty for our models. I hate those damn hand-tight chucks, I think they were made for people that can't keep up with a chuck key. Only $29.00 with charger.
Couple of pics of my new toy, of course he needed a new set of Titanium coated bits. all my old ones were USED, couldn't have that.
