    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.

    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.
