I'll throw in with the group that is quite happy with the Ryobi tools. I
find the termination of lines of batteries (forcing an expensive battery
guts replacement) terribly frustrating, so I like that Ryobi's 18v tools
all (that I've seen) interchange. Started with a drill/reciprocating saw
combo, then got a blower/weed eater combo, then multi-tool, sander, extra
batteries - all when found on sale. I've found no incompatibilities between
batteries and tools, and despite some ham-handling on my family's part,
they've all survived.
Plus, when they're in a Project Farm lineup, quite often they seem to end
up towards the upper part of the pack.
In fact, right now, you can pick up a drill/driver/hammer with two
batteries for $129 at Home Depot. They're having a sale.
