I had all Dewalt for a number of years went from their 18v to 20v line. But i kept wanting a few tools they did not make so i purchased the Ryobi versions. I was so happy with the price, capability, and mostly variety of tools. I switched completely over to Ryobi. Sold all my old Dewalt 18v stuff. I now have prob 35 different Ryobi products and 5-6 Dewalt. I even have Ryobi’s 40v trimmer, chainsaw, leaf blower, pole saw. I simply love that Ryobi has pretty much any freaking power tool you can think of, and more.
Is Ryobi the best…No. Does Ryobi have a heck of a selection at really good prices…Yes. Is Ryobi perfectly fine for Home\hobbiest use…Absolutely! If i was in the trades and used these tools daily would i choose Ryobi…Probably not, I would prob go with Milwaukee.
