Re: ryobi 8 peice set £200
Not bad, although worth noting that two of the "tools" are the radio, and the battery tester.
Still not as good as the old TJ Hughes offer I got a while back, no wonder they went bust.

Re: ryobi 8 peice set £200
I started off with one of the 8 piecec multi kits. It was Hammer Drill, Drill Driver, Right Angle Drill, Circular Saw, Jigsaw, Corner Sander, Mini Hoover and Work Light.
iirc I got it for £225 from B&Q with charger and 3 batteries.
5 years or so on the batteries are a bit on the tired side and need replacing or re-celling, but apart from that it's all still going strong. I've added to it a second Hammer Drill, an Impact Driver (both of which came with another battery, giving me 5 in total), a Reciprocating Saw and an in-car charger.
Great kit for a starter/DIYer!

Re: ryobi 8 peice set £200
thinking off it logically we all spend around 3 or £400 on cheap tools over the years some last well some die with the batteries but on average if every diyer spent £200 on the ryobi kit they would be no worse off and after 2 or 3 years and a further 2 or 3 new tools and 2 or 3 new batteries will have spent the same £3 to£400 and instead off useless tools with dud batteries will have a great kit with more tools for the money
