The only reason I bought the set was, way back was because I needed a cheap drill for my wife. Cost like $80 and ended up bringing it to work and liked it.
Ryobi works for me.

However if you try the lithium set keep the receipt.
Ryobi is great if your not swinging off them day in and day out. I can say Panasonic is simply brilliant and recommend makita and bosch after that. I don't have the money to pi$$ away on Panasonic tools but my cordless stuff is either makita or bosch. The reason I have both makita and bosch is that I use NiMh battery drills when the temperature gets too cold for the bosch L-ion tools. I am not a brand whore so I have a mix of Hitachi for my sds max and sds plus tools then metabo for my standard corded drills. I then use makita and bosch for my cordless. I choose what I think is best value and quality for each tool I purchase. Sod brand loyalty, I want what works.
