Been looking for a Ryobi drill to use around the new house on various projects, and found these!
Was going to buy the combi drill from B&Q with 2 batteries, but got a whole other drill driver for an extra pound or so - with a fast charger too! Free Delivery

I have the combi drill and bought the other drill separately with some vouchers when it was on offer. Still cost me a bit more than this though. Had them both for nearly 5 years now and although the Bosch and Makita boys will say Ryobi isn't in the same league I beg to differ. I used mine for work for a while mainly as a putting in no. 12 x 3" and no. 12 x 3.5" screws in all working for a sign company. The combi drill will drill most bricks. Good value for money and 20 minute charge is useful. They are now retired for diy use due to change of job but I would buy another as they have been good. The firm I used to work for bought these also. Only issue I had was a battery fail at 13 months. Got a free one from Ryobi. Excellent service.

Maplin and deal? Not the two words you'd normally see together in a sentence.

I assume Roman blind. I had a problem installing one as I hit either an RSJ or lintel. I then drilled an inch or so to the side and it went in ok.
I'm very proud of my blinds :laughing:
Made and installed with my own fair hands
This is the one I had to fiddle about with & drill a new hole, but the track covers up all of the holes & fittings so no one will ever know!

thanks! I have been using an old bosch one that my dad gave me. The batteries won't hold their charge for even 10 minutes anymore!! Heard good things about the Ryobi's so glad I gave them a punt :smile: x

Will this be powerful enough to drill into window lintel (steel) to fit blind? If not, which will be a better alternative under £100 budget?

With the right drill bit (metal) & not in hammer mode it should be fine but you will need to take it very slow. Concrete lintels it will be useless at.

What sort of blind are you fitting. I have fitted loads of blinds and never had to drill a lintel.

One of my batteries is dated 2009 and the other 2012. They have done some graft in their time. I am not sure about other brands but don't leave your batteries in a cold garage and then try and charge them. They like to be warm for charging.
