That’s my problem. I have a fortune of Ryobi plus 1 gear, batteries and chargers- nothing else.

Same shit .... different colour
Probably the same machine. The pxc one plugs into 240volts as well if you need it too

Just got one for the campervan. Good to know it performs well.
Just got to use a metric tap from an Aldi tin box purchased many moons ago, marked Aldi made in China. Very nice cut, sharp as with no tearing - at least in cast iron.
Impressed... Likewise the hole made for it with a drill from a green shed Ryobi set...

went through like a hot knife through butter. These drills have been ground with relief facets....

I bought the same looking set 2 or 3 years ago, and although they were sharpish, they had a bad habit of snapping off.
I might give them another go, they're not very expensive anyway.
Yes I've had ones that do that too.
The Ryobi ones I had snapped with very little provocation.
That's weird.... I only manage to snap really expensive high quality drill bits 
The cheap ones usually bend for me

Well the one above was a first for me - these weren't the cheapest set in the green shed either - described as "Cobalt", which I thought was supposed to be a good thing. Now I see the brand is "Full Boar"
.To be fair, my electric jack hammer is also Full Boar brand, and seems fit for purpose.
my Kanga was an Aldi special, probably much the same unit and it's done a power of work, well, domestically, not industrial - certainly fit for purpose. Although, I note that 'Full Boar' was the brand of choice for some guys doing a local underpinning job.Well the one above was a first for me - these weren't the cheapest set in the green shed either - described as "Cobalt", which I thought was supposed to be a good thing.

Some you win, some you don't... Like the 240V GMC hammer drill that jammed it's bit, extracting the machine from my pinkies and throwing it a goodly distance, scary whilst perched atop a ladder.... Replaced it with a Bosch unit with all the built in safety stuff etc, oh, and changed over to 4-flute masonry bits !

I wonder if the Cobalt name is to do with toughened tips or work hardening treatment, but to bend like that certainly not fit for purpose. I guess you win some and lose some in the description. Too hard and they snap, too soft they bend, makes my old P&N ones that get regularly sharpened, value for the money I outlaid 20 years or more ago.Well the one above was a first for me - these weren't the cheapest set in the green shed either - described as "Cobalt", which I thought was supposed to be a good thing.

Though these days its a bit of a chore to go through the pile of old drill bits and resharpen. I used to enjoy doing that once upon a time!!
Not so much these days.Ken
It was probably introduced to a piece of cobalt at a party once, but didn't get to shake its hand.

I have to ask - how?
Every workshop/garage needs one. Available from Super Cheap Auto just under $10.00.
Don't know what it is with some people and the 10mm socket/spanner, but I never lose them, or any other spanner for that matter. What I lose is measure tapes, because I forget where I leave them. I eventually come across the said measure tapes when wandering around the shed and the remember that I put it there.
I don't mislay car tools, as I count them back.
What disappears, sometimes for years and even forever, are hammers, chisels, screwdrivers, garden implements - anything needed for household stuff. My ability to make these vanish is supernatural. I have even "vanished" a couple of spades.
