I'm pretty sure these drills do not come with a battery and case so no charger either, screwfix sell the same dril for £59.99 and it states in there book no battery and case.

Shame really as i'm after one of these and you cant seem to get a good one for less than £100 ish.

Seems ok, and will be better than the right angle adaptors - as ^^^ it doesn't include the battery or charger. Tooled up have it for £55 http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=133815&MAN=Ryobi-Cap-1801m-One+-Cordless-18v-Angle-Drill-Requires-Separate-One+-Battery-And-Charger />

If you have a compressor then air powered ones are cheaper still and quite a bit smaller which is handy.

thats not a terrible price, though as said it is naked. I have a 14.4v ryobi combi set, ie the normal drill and the right angle drill, it was on offer at £80 including the charger and 2 batteries. The place i got it from only does the 18v ones now. Im off there this afternoon so will note the price if you're interested.

From my observations of ebay, with things like this the best price on ebay is a few quid more than the cheapest in the shops, but it saves you the effort of looking for the cheap shop - which might be trade only anyway.

I have a robi drill so a can use the battery out of that. However, the air tools do look like a good idea.

I have that drill and it's been a life saver.
I paid that sort of money for it in april of last year and share the 2 batteries with the torch.
The only issue is that some of the areas you want to use the drill are inaccesible because of the length of it.

I also have a dewalt battery drill and an SDS drill. The dewalt stuff is much better made than the ryobi, has a 13 mm chuck and massive torque.

the right angle drill is very low geared, so quite torquey compared to normal drills. Price in stax is 48.60 plus vat, again bare, so the ebay one looks good (make sure vat is included!)

I have a dewalt 18v combi drill, excellent tool, i rarely need an electric drill even for masonary drilling. However, its a heavy bugger, i prefer using the light ryobi one normally as its fit for the job (though not a hammer drill and only a 10mm chuck)
