So I've mostly been using #Ryobi tools and they've been OK but obviously light duty. Couple have handles that are already wearing out and I've killed a couple batteries.
I've got one buddy who went red (#Milwaukee), one who went yellow (#DeWalt) and one who went blue (#Makita). Of course.
I'm inclined to go yellow or red - they seem to be about on par and the Packout system seems like the clear winner of everything.
@arrdem Milwaukee Tools are really nice! We had a bunch of them at my old shop. Solid and reliable. (I have a few friends that work there.) I have at least on DeWalt drill in my shop and it's been good for light-duty use. The Ryobi stuff was considered a "consumable" at the makerspace I belonged to.
