You can buy two Ryobi for the price of one
the others and they for the most part would
last just as long. Now with the batteries,
get the largest amp size battery available!

My thoughts as well...

remember none of these or other contractor
tools are water proof either.

OK!

I've used mine in the rain but working in the
rain is not too smart or ideal and can be
dangerous. Good luck on your project!

Thanks mate
