On the battery hand tools, I have several 18v lithium Ryobi s tool and the most important thing on any of these are the batteries. Good quality batteries and they all work good and last a long time. I bought one of those China knock off batteries and it lasted very few charges and I threw it in the trash and bought a couple extra high dollar OEM batteries and every one of the tools are strong. Have good batteries equal good tool or sorry batteries equals POS tool on any of them. A good quick charger is very important also....Dewalt tools have "Made in China" on them as well as all the others. It is pretty much a Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge thing on name bands. I am sure if a tool cost twice as much common sense says yes it will be better though. If I was making a liven with my tools I would go ahead and bite the bullet and get Milwaukee and Snap-on tools.
