I have 3 of the Ryobi kits and my shop guy has 2. they have held up well for likely 5 + years. His Batteries are showing their age at this point as they get used everyday. Don't know if they are brushless or not but that brushless label is more marketing benefit then real life benefit IMO
I thought it waa supposed to be a more efficient tool , but honestly it doesn't make much difference to me. I just know I'm going to miss the smell of burning Ozone
I'm not adding other tools from the lineup because these are all I need, but I do want to add the belt clips to both of them, and I'd like to get just the charger by itself if I can so both can be charging at once.
My past experience with Ryobi has only been with a $20 Ryobi angle grinder, man that thing has taken a real beating over the last decade and is still going strong.
I can't tell you how many times I've dropped it on the shop floor.
If I'm not mistaken Ryobi actually used to make fishing Reels for Shakespeare back in the 70's.
