There'll be a buy in deal soon enough. Something like an impact, drill, 2x batt and charger for way below market price. It's a loss leader sale to get you into their infrastructure.
From what I've seen makita/milwaukee/dewalt are on par-ish. Ryobi/Ozito are great budget options.
I've got the ozito PXC hedge trimmer, blower, cylinder mower and angle grinder. The angle grinder has a bit of chatter in. Everything's kinda weak. However they all do their job fine and were cheap as fuck. I've only got the one 2.0ah battery and charger.
I've got Milwaukee 12v hand tools, they're great, I got them in the deal I describe above. I needed a drill that day so was prepared to buy a decent one and the deal was with Milwaukee. I've since picked up half a dozen other bits n pieces, they got me.
