I’m in House Ryobi; while it does the job, I needed to borrow a tool I didn’t have from our neighbour (wife’s rule; I can only buy one if I need to borrow it 3 times).. he had a set of Bosch Professionals - holy moly, those things are on a whole other level!

My wife ~~has~~ had the same rule, then we moved, now I'm the lender, not the borrower. This means I have an excuse for buying new tools. That and my current job and side jobs are requiring some specific tools that I don't already own.

S Tier:

Milwaukee
Bosch
Makita

A Tier:

DeWalt
Porter Cable

B Tier:

Ryobi
Rigid

C Tier:

Black & Decker
Craftsman
Master craft
Skil
Other store brands

All of them will get you a passing grade, C Tier feels a little flimsy like it might let you down, B Tier works perfectly fine and feels normal, A Tier feels like it could take one extra hard drop, and S Tier is noticeably rock solid and nice in every way.

Atleast, this is ballpark what I remember from when I was contracting...

Big difference between the pro and consumer versions though. Which ones are you referring to?
