I have some "simple" Ryobi stuff, like a 3.6 volt electric screwdriver. It does fine, but when it comes to "real" stuff, DeWalt, Porter-Cable, Milwaukee, etc. Some of my faves: Dewalt sliding compound chopsaw Dewalt (Englo) compressor Milwaukee Sawzall (don't waste your money on the big ones, get the $99 one, it does everything you could want) Milwaukee 1/2 inch drill with right angle attachment 1 inch bit = no problem!

Love the Dewalt drills. Got to go Porter Cable for a circular saw. And hell, who can argue with Milwaukee Sawzalls. ;-) I have to agree, although I am very happy with my 12″ Ryobi chop saw so far.

Porter Cable and Milwaukee when I want it to be the last tool of its kind I buy and then leave it to someone in a will. Rigid and Ryobi for when I need a tool that costs less than a tank of gas and lasts just as long. Although my Rigid shop vac has been a trooper for several years now.
