I have 3 Dewalt 18 volt cordless drivers / drill. Two of them are the heavier duty impact drill type with 3 speeds...one is the more basic (older) 2 speed no impact.
I would recommend it in a minute. Look at the reviews...it has better than 95% five star ratings.

The Ryobi drills at Home Depot are pretty good. I have a bunch of them. They are pretty sturdy, batteries last a fairly long time. Not real expensive so if you loose it or it breaks your not loosing to much money.
In fact that is why I use them. I have lots of people working for me from time to time. When they do not have their own tools, rather then giving them by Bosch or Makita equipment, I give them

the Ryobi stuff.
Their basic drill works like a charm. Can drill lots of holes, or can drive lots of screws as well. Perfect for the weekend warrior.
Kathy P- Ive always used Dewalt, but just last night asked 'Santa' for this Ryobi that I saw at Home Depot. It's a middle of the road drill with a name that you can rely on. http://goo.gl/6LT7f

extension cord. I have a nifty cord that can be rolled up like a water hose . . . easy to use and store.
Also, most power tools are designed for a man's hand. When buying power tools, I go with a reputable brand that is the most comfortable in MY hand. A lot of the contractors laugh at my "girl tools". But guess who they come to when they need to borrow something!!! LOL
One of the differences, between the 80 dollar Ryobi and the 100 dollar Dewalt is the 3/8 vs 1/2 shank size. Nearly all of my drill bits are full shank which means these large sizes would not fit in the smaller ryobi drill.
other common complaints are its lack of power and torque or clutch ability. In my book the extra 20 bucks is well worth it.

I do have a very small 4.5 volt "baby" ryobi...which is handy for small detail work...you just need to know that its primary role is driving small hardware type screw...installing a deck screw? forget it.
Kathy, not sure if your still on the hunt for a drill, but a light duty DIY tool at a low cost is the http://youtu.be/1_6TKq17uMo

Above all, be sure that it fits comfortably in your hand and you feel good balance to the tool. You will also want to consider its weight, the lighter the tool the longer you will be able to work with it.

In metro Atlanta, Lowes is selling the Bosch drill for $159.00 and is a great value, for the price, when compared to all others.
