i unironically use ryobi. have had no issues with them, used those drills on the job for years.

all this circle jerk over brands when i think we forgot the adage 'a bad carpenter blames his tools'

>>1296954
Solid Ryobi user. 1st gen were a little flaky (bought used at thrift shop). 2nd gen as pic shows is 100% solid. They give charging stations and batteries away like candy. Not a single issue with 2nd gen. If you do anything with these tools that kills them, you brought the wrong type, not brand.

"It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools" is the correct expression

Ive made a shitload of money with my ryobi drill and impact combo. One of the very best purchases ive made. Use a 1st gen recip saw for cutting nails to seperate pallets works like a charm.

go for some Made in Germany high quality tools like Fein or Kress my friend

>drill and impact
Might I ask what you use the impact for?

Hilti is good shit too.

Satisfied ryobi user since 2004. No problems

Ryobi owner here. Most all of my cordless tools are ryobi. Works extremely well.

Corded, I have a variety.

>nothing wrong with using Ryobi.
I had a collection of DeWalt, Makita, and other brands that I lost in a work-van fire a couple of years ago.
I was having to carry three to four kinds of chargers and batteries to keep everything running.
I decided since I was 'starting over' I'd go with the Ryobi set pictured in the OP.
I've used the crap out of all of them except the flimsy bag and the flashlight. (I've even used it a couple of times)
I added a chainsaw and pole saw to the collection.
Now I only need one charger and I can use any of the several batteries I have in any of the tools.
I think it's the best system for the money.

I could have afforded Milwaukee and considered it but decided since I'm getting older and doing less, the Ryobi would be more than enough.
Besides, my kids will just sell them for nothing in a yard sale or give them away when I die.

If you're going to use them to make a living, probably better to go for professional grade, which these aren't.

They're definitely homeowner or occasional handyman grade...

My first Gen tools are going strong, but the old nicad batteries just couldn't do the job.

I love that I was able to move to lithium without replacing all the tools.

I dont own any ryobi stuff, but Im an electrician and for us drill/driver is for makingholes and impact is for set screws and shit

>>1296954
What's wrong with using Ryobi?

>>1297635
Literally nothing.

>>1297635

Theres nothing wrong with Ryobi for 90% of shit. But when you need to pop 200 holes with an 1-1/8th bit immediately, you probably wanna be using milwuakee, dewalt, or makita. It has more to do with the amount of power the batteries can deliver over time than the tool itself.

We use them at work because we don't really use cordless tools often enough to warrant anything better. They work well enough. Had a lot of their batteries go bad though. And one drill has like 0.025" runout on the chuck, though that's probably the result of abuse.

I don't see any reason not to consider ryobi as long as you are using them for extended periods on a daily basis.

Did April and Andy ever use the cabin she "bought" from Ron?

Ryobi is nice but I prefer Ryona desu

>>1297639
None of the other brands' batteries are magically better than what's in Ryobi's, so your point is moot.

There is a current draw limit based on size of the battery which can affect performance (specifically its C rating, if you've ever played with RC toys with lithium batts), but otherwise they're all the same.

These two can exist and be truthful
