ryobi P827 combo package

Thanks gentlemen! Appreciate the input. The sales guy was telling me to spend just $60 more and get the Milwaukee combo pack or a little more and get rigid (no combo pack sale for them)- I said for that $60 I could buy another Ryobi one+ tool but that I would check with the brain trust ( you all, SO and brothers). I just don't want to spend money on something that is going to die out after I use it a couple of times but I also don't need "the best" money can buy. I was hoping these would be the happy middle ground.
I bought the older Ryobi set, drill, "mouse" sander, and flashlight, with bag. The original batteries are long dead, but I've upgraded to the lithium by buying the weedwacker and blower. Cheaper to buy the blower with battery and charger than just the battery or charger.
I must have dropped that drill four times when I was putting up a new garage door the summer I moved here, and that sucker is still going strong. I'm on a teeny corner lot and one battery will run the weedwacker and the blower with some juice left.

Home depot has three different combo packs on sale for $99- each has a drill, but from the pricing of the batteries, it would be worth it to pick up a combo pack as it comes with two batteries and sell the drill if you don't need it. Although the circular saw in the combo pack seems a bit small- likely good for most jobs or they wouldn't sell. The ones I saw had a drill and a impact driver or circular saw or reciprocating saw.
Anyone have one of their grass/weed trimmers?
I have the green one, with the lithium battery. Can trim or edge by spinning the shaft and locking the collar.

I may pick up another combo pack (or at least a drill) so I can have a drill bit on one drill and a driver in the other. Having to change between the two = white people problems.
That $99 drill and impact combo might work, I've been wanting to pick up a cordless impact.

Even their cheap ass drill that I got I sale for $20 last Christmas has been good. Especially if I use my 18v Lion battery with it.
That is the one I looked at in the store today... they have one online only with a ship to store/home for free for $50- I should compare them and make a decision. I picked up a B&D electric trimmer today for $50- good reviews etc. but I am now thinking I should go with the Ryobi... I keep vacillating on it.I have the green one, with the lithium battery.

The sales guy told me if I went with Ryobi they usually offer either a Christmas or father's day combo package once a year. He said he knows people come in and buy them just for the batteries and resell the tools.
what model do you have?
