Larry if you are a contractor and your time is valuable then I would say go for it but if not then stick with a corded one. Ryobi is in the same class as Skil and B & D quality wise but they have standardized their battery powered tools to all (or at least mostly) use all the same batteries and chargers so that means they'll probably be around for a while in case you have to replace them.
My neighbor just bought a Ryobi ...
and it's gas powered. They got, I think, 3 other attachments that go with it. So far, he's had a ball playing with it. And it's a lot more poweful than the battery powered ones.
HI Doug and welcome. Ryobi did do one thing right and that was to use one battery and charger on all their tools. Milwaukee has followed suit with almost all theirs running either 12 or 18 volt and one charger for both.
