This discussion can go round and round. Somewhere here is a book in which a guy tells how he built three keel yachts with his "cheap" Black and Decker drill. That's a lot of holes.

if you going cordless stick with one brand,then at least the batteries can be swapped.Hve no experience with either of those brands. See what you can get in the sales with a better brand maybe?
Actually I disagree. I have cordless screwdriver with one battery and impact with another. Much easier.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
There’s hoodakis you can buy now, a form of adapter plates that allows battery swapping across multiple brands of tools. One of reputable tool blogs did a good video on it.
I have a similar device that charges multiple brand camera batteries (actually better than factory’s jobbie) so only havevto pack one charger on trips.

Well if Alan Millard can mill and weld new engine designs in his lil garden shed...
This joker called Noah built a pretty big boat without power tools. Apparently it would have been size of aircraft carrier independence and took about 75 years to build. It seems the weather was none to favourable atvtime too....

So, in the end - I went with Ryobi - two main reasons:
1: Feedback from here and other places
2: When I went to the shop, they didn't have any decent size Ozito batteries in stock. To be fair, they had similar issues in the Ryobi range as well, but then there was a set of a Cordless drill + 2 AH and a 4 AH battery + charger = $200.
Considering the batteries and charger just to buy alone would be about ~$250 - I figured a free Drill was worth it.
See below is what I got:
Reciprocating saw, Corded Planer ($120 vs $200 for Cordless), aforementioned Drill set and a Nibbler.
Currently they are engaged in a fierce battle against the old packing battens in the ceiling. Need to move the temporary light fixings to be attached to the Joist, trim some of the battens off (as they traverse the kitchen into the dining room) then sort out my new Batten spacing, mark the joists, plane the joists that are proud, get some new battens (that will go the full length of the ceiling so as to not be floating in midair) then it will be ready for the new GIB (ironically, the same GIB that was procured when I first posted this thread).
Thanks for the input - and Happy New Year!

yeah, speaking as someone in the know - they dont know, those clowns make the rest of us look bad.
Mind you, saw a show where they had these 12000 yr old rocks that looked like they had been carved with a plasma cutter.. so they asked this self taught rock carving guy to reproduce them. He said he couldnt - so aliens had done it with lasers. Of course, it could have been that 12000 years ago the dudes who's lives depended on building with and carving rocks knew something he didnt.
(see how I got tools in to that?)

Yes no doubt a lot of use full skills have been lost along the way. We only have to look at the abject apathy of some millineals in workplace to see what we’re previous commonly simple tasks nowctoo difficult or dangerous to perform...
The problem with the whole Egypt/Mayan thing is people project modern methods to the problem rather than thinking in terms of simple fulcrum/levers/pulleys and sheer disposable manpower of the times.
