But I dont know how long it will last so I would like to know would you buy a cheap one or go a little more expensive?

That dewalt drive is a nice one I used one a few weeks ago. A friend of mine had one and was powerful enough to drill some holes for the speakers in the doors.

Ryobi is complete crap, next step down is harbor freight cheapo shit.

First off, are you wanting corded or cordless? Craftsman, Dewalt, Milwaukee all make decent ones, it depends on what you are using it for and what your budget is as to what to buy.

I got a really cheap black and decker, and it works fine for me.

Don't get any 7.2v crap, just go with the 19.2v Craftsman if you are on a budget, they work good, take a lot of abuse and have a decent amount of power.
