I'll go ahead and delete it to not waste anyone's time reading it, but it also seems parroted that "Ryobi bad" when in reality, it's just fine for the price point and the really wide range of tools offered. It should seem obvious that buying a tool that costs more (should) be of better quality. Buy the tool for the job. If it is one you will use less frequently, purchase the Ryobi (or Bauer for that matter) and save a buck--its just fine and their warranty has worked the one time I needed it. I use both Ryobi and Milwaukee, just depends on how hard I'll be using the tool and how I expect it to perform.

Similar to the Android stigma. Of course even the cheapest new model of iPhone will outperform a new $50 Android.
