For the occasional home use, Ryobi is just fine.

Usually with "relatively cheap" that's what you get. I have had great luck with Dewalt cordless stuff. I also have a Porter Cable kit that is a little lighter duty and is pretty strong,both 20v kits ^^^lol^^^ that's good (and spot on)

i think i drilled miss milwaukees mom in korea in 85. but ya, ryobi or one of its various names (craftsman, etc) are fine for what you are looking for. i 'm invested in dewalt stuff. i got a nice starter kit for free so i'm committed at this point. so far the only thing i'm not too keen on is the sander. eats small batteries in about 10 minutes and you can't put a big battery on it because of the dust chute. but it works good. the impacts work great, as do the circular and saber saws.

I got the Ryobi cordless kit which has the drill, impact driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, a multi tool cutter, spot light and 2 batteries with tote bag. Was somewhere around $220.00 at Home Depot. I have other higher end power tools but find that the Ryobi tools are pretty good for the casual homeowner.

I look at it like buying a safe, or anything else really. Buy more than you need. You say 3-4 hours a year but sometimes it ends up a lot more.

I switched all my Dewalts out for Makita. Better performance and much longer battery life.

I'm not advocating Black & Decker, but my 15 year old drill batteries still charge & work. My 18v DeWalt batteries have been chit. But, I'm so deep into the tools for these I don't want to change. Buy more batteries? Upgrade to 20V adapters, or just scrap out 300 bucks worth of tools go to another brand???
