Well, I'm looking to get a Ryobi “The Works” pack (review). I keep seeing it when I go to home depot, and I'm so very tempted. It is two hundred and some dollars, although I think I can find a better price online. I read mostly good reviews about it online; the only odd thing being that the circular saw has a 1-9/16” depth, which means you can't really cut all the way through a 2x4. Hmmm.... So, I'm looking at the black & decker firestorm 18V 5 tool set (review). However, having the Ryobi 8 pack would be nice, as I've used pretty much all of those tools in the past six months.
Plus, my cordless drill is a Ryobi, and I love it! It definitely is my most used tool, as I'm sure will become clear when I write about more projects. I know that I'm pretty green to be choosing a favorite brand, but I can't deny that I like Ryobi. Mary says that I just like saying their name. RYOOOOOBI! Yeah, I guess it does sound cool.
Back to the pack, though, I'll probably buy the Ryobi pack online, see how I like it. I'm hoping to get it for around $150.
