I bought the 5 piece Ryboi 18 volt set at Home Depot for $199 plus tax, and I love it. It came with a 1/2 drill, a sawzall, 8 inch circular saw, dust buster, and light. My only complaint is that the dust buster could be more powerful, but I just wanted it to do a quicky on my carpets when I go to carshows, so it's perfect for that. The light is super bright too.

I use the Dewalt 18 volt line at work, and the Ryobi line is just as good and durable, but a lot cheaper. This set is perfect for the home do-it-yourselfer that doesn't want to spend a ton of cash. I use these tools for everything from carpantry projects to working with metals and it hasn't disappointed me yet. It comes in a nice hard plastic case that holds all the tools, the two batterys and charger, and has plenty of room to stick drill bits, saw blades, etc. in.

How's this for tough? I mom drove over the sawzall the other day with her Ford Aerostar!! I was scared when I saw her pull away and noticed the tire mark going over it, but to my amazement it's fine. Even though the sawzall's body is plastic, it's not cracked or deformed in any way!!

As a side note, there's another Ryobi product worth buying. It's actually called Homelight, and it's an 18 volt cordless weedwacker and bush trimmer set with two batteries and a charger. The price at Home Depot was around $85. Both tools work great, and there super light. You can go weedwacking and still carry a beer with you. ;D This is an excellent option if you're tired of messing with a gas weedwacker after it's sat all winter.
