    I use Ryobi for everything because they’re affordable, I already have the batteries, and I’m not a professional, so they don’t get used every day.

      I think Ryobi is perfect for as an entry tool. If you break it from overuse, then buy a high quality product. But if it’s the first time buying a tool where you don’t know how often you will use it, Ryobi is perfectly fine to get started with and fmailiarize yourself with it.

        I agree. to add both 18 and 40v are have high and low quality feeling devices. The high quality lawn mower and hand held yard tools are good enough. get big batteries. Have enough to keep going with an ulta fast charger. the hybrid 18v are my jam. Plastic weld is great for fixing their plastic. battery warranty is pretty good.

      Yeah, they may not last my whole life but neither is anything else with a battery. I don’t put enough strain on the tools I use around the house to break them.
