This is the handiest tool in my tool box!
The Ryobi P201 drill is a really versatle tool. Ryobi makes an 18 Volt rechargable battery system with a variety of tools. Since just after Katrina hit in 2005, I have been using Ryobi battery operated tools for most of the work aroud the house. P201 can be used as a drill, nut driver, screw driver or for a variety of other tools. It has adjustable torque so you can have the right power for the job. I have used to for everything from hanging cabinets to replacing fence boards. It is light enough that my wife was able to use it to help with the fence and other projects. It is very easy and fast to replace bits. Being battery operated, I don't have to fight with a lot of extension cord. I have several batteries and two chargers to use with several Ryobi tools and am assured of always having power available. The batteries can be charged on a portable generator if needed and the tools can be used without being tethered to the power source. Because it is battery operated, it can be used in areas where power is not available, just be sure to charge all the batteries before doing work. I rely on Ryobi tools. I hope I never have to use them to clean up and repair after another hurricane, but I know they are available.
