For about $100 bucks you can get the driver and two battery packs on Amazon. The battery lasts about 5 times as long as that Ryobi. With the Ryobi, the battery was good for maybe one complete build on a car. The Makita lasts forever. Plus it charges almost completely in like 30 minutes. You never have to worry about a dead battery. The clutch is also much more fine tuned along with the speed and won't strip the plastic. Finally, it is just a way more comfortable driver.
