Works fantastic for using B&D 20V batteries in 18V Dewalt tools. Don't let your 18V Dewalt tools go to waste. They have an adapter for all brands of the 20V batteries to fit. I read some other reviews that said the they experienced battery drain if the adapter and battery are left on the tool; however this does not happen on mine.

I just inherited 5 Ryobi 18V chordless tools. A Drill, Recip saw, Circ Saw, Drain auger, and flash light. I have one 2 Amp HR LI ION Battery and no charger.
My initial thought was: is it worth investing in the Ryobi? Should I just sell the bare tools on CL and save up and go with more professional level like a Dewalt et. al. My sense was that Ryobi was low end stuff. A bit above HF or Black and Decker. I Probably would not get much $ for used bare tools.
I want to be objective and not being all that familiar with Ryobi chordless stuff. I set out and did some searches on GJ.
I found that many people find their chordless All One Ryobi collection very good. Considering the cost and they have a very stable battery platform. In other words they have not changed it in 20 years, unlike the rest of the competition. That seems like one of their branding statements. One 18v battery for every tool. They do offer a lot of tools. It seems like they will stand behind it for the future. I also did not hear anyone complain about something not working or it broke after reasonable use.
I also read that Milwaukee, Ridgid and Ryobi are made in the same factories. I believe the old Craftsman too. That likely changed with the SBD ownership.
My opinion has improved of them. It now seems like a good choice for the homeowner or Handyman who does not have heavy use of a particular tool.
I am thinking it is probably worth investing in them. I am looking at Li Ion battery and charger choices.
Should I get the 2 amp hour, 3 amp hr or the 4 amp hour? They also have a 6 and a 9. The are Very pricey and I am not sure it would be worth it for me.
I see on Ebay there are knock off Ryobi LI Ion batteries for 1/2 the price of the Ryobi. Also reconditioned chargers and knock off chargers that are very inexpensive compared to a new one at HD. It looked like most are mulit chemistry chargers. I did not find any comments on the off brand batteries. But I did read that people think the Craftsman 19.2 V off brands on Ebay are fine. I am thinking they are likely made by the same companies in the same COO.
What are folks thoughts on the battery and charger choices and best overall options.?
Sorry for the long lead up to my question but I wanted people to know my thought process and perhaps challenge it if they have good reason to.
