    I’m in House Ryobi; while it does the job, I needed to borrow a tool I didn’t have from our neighbour (wife’s rule; I can only buy one if I need to borrow it 3 times)… he had a set of Bosch Professionals - holy moly, those things are on a whole other level!

      S Tier:

      • Milwaukee
      • Bosch
      • Makita

      A Tier:

      • DeWalt
      • Porter Cable

      B Tier:

      • Ryobi
      • Rigid

      C Tier:

      • Black & Decker
      • Craftsman
      • Master craft
      • Skil
      • Other store brands

      All of them will get you a passing grade, C Tier feels a little flimsy like it might let you down, B Tier works perfectly fine and feels normal, A Tier feels like it could take one extra hard drop, and S Tier is noticeably rock solid and nice in every way.

      Atleast, this is ballpark what I remember from when I was contracting…

      My wife has had the same rule, then we moved, now I’m the lender, not the borrower. This means I have an excuse for buying new tools. That and my current job and side jobs are requiring some specific tools that I don’t already own.
