Reccomendation/advice on Ryobi

[robertp]

Hey all,

I found what I think is a deal on a drill press and a bench grinder, both Ryobi ($65 for the drill press, $50 for the grinder).

Does anyone have strong opinions or experience with Ryobi shop tools? Good/bad/ugly/etc?


Thanks! Cheers,
Robert

I recently purchased the 10" from Homedep0t, and I like it. Its better than a hand drill thats for sure. If thats the one you get for 65 then its a good deal. I don't know about the grinder though. I am learning on the 2x42 craftsman and so are/have alot of others here.

I bought the ryobi bandsaw for cutting out handles and quickly returned it, I found it to be a total POS.

Hey guys thanks - I just priced the tools online and found the "craigslist special" was not a good deal, for either. As always, buyer beware.
