Combination Accessory Sets (drill bits, screw bits) help plz

[big-all]

FWIW, if your brother watches DIY SOS on TV, he will see the standard tools in that program are all Ryobi now ( I think they used to be DeWalt) so he may be up with the name already

lol hoovie yes they do use ryobi exclusivly buuuuut

i believe last week was the last in the series

a 5hr charging time is a definate bad point thats a whole day gone if the batteries flat
if it had a second battery it would be great

I agree 5 hrs charger is just to long. I'm looking for a cordless screw driver and it's the 5 hrs charge which is putting me of buying it.

I tend to buy seperate bits in a box. I recently bought 2" Dewalt Screwdriver bits which I have found to be okay. I'm sure that the Ryobi sets with the bag is being sold in B and Q with 25% off.

It is all about personal preferance really. What you feel most comfortable in using.

Good luck in your purchase

cheap screwdriver bits are a waste of time, you would be better off getting him a gift voucher for somewhere like http://www.axminster.co.uk and he could pick out good quality versions of whatever he uses most.

sets which have loads of bits are usually not very good quality, and you often up with a fair amount of bits/drills which are never used. far better IMO to buy a small selection of decent stuff.

e.g. drill bits:

screwdriver bits: http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp? ... e=1&jump=4

spade bits:

Lol you bugger thats something else to think about now!

Maybe i could get him a cordless screwdriver (with extra battery) and than afew small sets of drills etc.

And a nice box for him to store them all in...
