I work in the RV industry and use Ryobi everyday for last 5 years. The reason I've stayed with them is the tool selection. If I have to work on an RV out on the lot you can't use anything but cordless. The cordless caulk gun has saved me many man hours resealing the rubber roofs. Now I must admit that I don't use the ryobi drills. They're way too slow and heavy. I use hitachi for my compact and heavy duty drills. Looking to upgrade to the brushless dewalts or milwaukee. I do use the heck out of the cordless impact driver and it is quite a bit more powerful than my hitachi compact impact. These tools have never let me down and I beat on them daily. The nicad batteries suck. I only use the high capacity 4.0s now at work and use the compact lithiums for home use. For the price point they can't be beat.
