My Ryobi experience:
The reciprocating saw gets a 5 out of 10, where 10 is a corded Milwaukee, and 0 is a broken hack saw blade. The batteries don't last long in the saw, and the saw is not heavy duty.
The cordless variable speed drill is a 10.
The vacuum is a 0, rating right along side a cracked soda straw.
The circular saw is okay for a few light cuts. Better than a hand saw.
I had a battery rebuilt. It cost almost as much as a new battery. When my old Ryobi drill got tired, I bought a new Ryobi set, because it came with two batteries.
What I don't like about the Ryobi set is the huge box in the back of the van. I'm always climbing over it.
