I have two 18v Ryobi drills, came as a kit with two batteries and charger in a nice carry bag (that now does service as a peg bag for my awning on the motorhome). The two drills are a standard drill/driver and a right angled drill. From memory the whole kit was about £130 which is pretty good value as the right angled drill alone is about £100 from other manufacturers. Quality is as good as any other make I've used including Makita, Bosch and DeWalt. I also have a B&Q Pro Power 18v drill driver which is a superb piece of kit and very heavy duty, it has survived being dropped 12 feet onto concrete several times and still works well but it is a heavy piece of kit. Don't bother with cheapy brands as they're just not up to the job, I tried a cheapy B&Q jobbie before I got the Pro Power unit and first time I tried to drill into soft concrete blocks with the hammer action the gearbox disintegrated.
