What brand of power tools?

DeWalt 20vMax or nothing IMO.

This.

Don't take our word for it though, go to any construction site & note how much yellow you see.

Did you bail on Rigid then?

Rigid? I never had any Rigid gear that I recall. I've had Dewalt forever.

I distinctly remember you talking about the Rigid battery warranty a few years ago, probably the last time I asked this question. If you don't use it, you must have mentioned it but not actually bought in.

My other advice would be to spend the extra money for the brushless models of the company has both. Worth it in my opinion.

I may have been talking about the warranty in terms of you'd need to exercise it a lot but I never said I owned the gear. I've been a Dewalt snob for a couple of decades now.

If cordless tools were handguns:

Ryobi = hi point, Sccy
Ridgid = Ruger
Dewalt, Milwaukee = Glock
Bosch = HK
Festool = Infinity
Porter cable = Taurus
Makita = walther?

For non-cordless tools, I like the old Porter Cable when it was still a US company owned.

I also have a few Metabo pieces, drill motors and angle grinder. The Metabo angle grinder is bomb-proof.

My wife got me a black friday special Ryobi drill and 3/8 impact combo several years ago. I've put 'em through hell.
Impact still works great, but was never designed to pull big bolts. Awesome for pulling bolts under 50 ft/lb or so.
The drill, has seen a rough life. I bent it somewhere. If I apply pressure to it, the chuck wobbles. No hard feelings, I can replace it for $40 or so.
Ryobi has a 4 mode 1/2 impact on my shopping list. From what I've seen, it's plenty powerful for anything I need to do.

I'm not a contractor, electrician, or mechanic, but I have hobbies. They work for me. Yellow is cool (my wall powered router is yellow and mills aluminum great), but yellow tools aren't generally in my budget.
