40 sats \ 3 replies \ @Jon_Hodl 7 Dec \ on: What brand of power tools do you like to buy? DIY
Ryobi HP+ power tools because I have been using Ryobi for more than 20 years and they have yet to fail me.
I use the Milwaukee Packout system for storing and using tools both at home as well as out on jobs. I love the Packout system for it’s versatility.

I have battery operated Ryobi drills and router. After about 15 years, the batteries finally gave out. Not a big problem, though. I buy the batteries and tools in a bundle to save money on the batteries,

Yeah, I’m pretty committed to the Ryobi One system because I’ve spent so long building my tool collection. It would cost me a fortune to switch to another brand at this point.

That is the big problem with the power tool world, non-interoperabliliy. I just wish, at least the batteries were interchangeable. That would make life a whole lot easier. The plug-in variety don’t need to be interoperatable.
I had to do a whole lot of routing one time. I went to another place to do it and brought one fully charged battery. When I was almost done, the battery went dead and I didn’t bring a replacement. There were plenty of different batteries where I was, but none of them went into the Ryobi router. What an absolute pain in the a**. I had to finish the project another day.
