So Ryobi is just fine. With the context you provide if you’re a heavier user who needs the features then you can spend more? If you need a quality tool that will get the job done without frills then Ryobi is great?

Yes

Ryobi is fine

Other tools are better

Internet likes to put down Ryobi but it's not as bad as they make it out to be.

My first power drill was Ryobi like 10+ years ago and still works to this day. I prefer using my Dewalt drill, it's less clunky.

No one wants to be a "Ryobi Guy". Especially behind a screen where you can say you have any tool you want.

Bosch makes my favorite hammer drill. My Makita sander works like a champ. I enjoy my Milwaukee packout toolbox.

People get stuck on brands. And while with tools there are differences, Ryobi works just fine.

I did burn out my Ryobi oscillating saw. But that's the only Ryobi tool that has failed me and I have like a dozen of them. I really like my ryobi finish nailer.

Bosch makes a solid hammer drill...I once drilled into a steel reinforcement in concrete and it melted the bit red hot into a tear drop, and it didn't even stutter

But my Ryobi bits snapped multiple times the first time I used them (I used a center punch and proper form, they just snapped like glass the second I used carbide bits on a freaking aluminum alloy). Their power tools aren't quite as bad, but they're not noticeably better than harbor freight stuff. I genuinely believe black and Decker is better

Granted, I think Ryobi used to be way better...I think they got bought out used for the name a while back

DeWalt is a subsidiary of Black and Decker. Seems like brand name means less than many think.

I love my Ryobi finish nailer! The only Bosch I currently have is an inherited corded jigsaw but it has held up well.
