[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I have one of those 18 vdc Ryobi home kits with 7 tools in one bag which is a great deal for those smaller home projects. I use mine all the time. But when I switched to the NILS electric drill auger, I found that the smaller Ryobi would load up, overheat a little and stop. Wait about 3 to 5 seconds and it would go again for a few seconds and then stop. Kind of a PITA. That has never happened with my Milwaukee Fuel M18. I'm sure the larger, industrial strength cordless drills by just about any brand will work as good as my Milwaukee. But from what I'e heard talking to professional construction folks, Ryobi is never a good choice for heavy duty work. And drilling through a couple feet of solid ice would be 'heavy work' IMHO. [
