I confess to brand loyalty when it comes to battery powered tools, specifically 18v ryobi rotary and hammer drill, leaf blower, vacuums, imact gun,flashlights, skill saw, sawzall, disc grinder, and more. Because they work and they all use the same battery and charger. I bought (over the yrs) many big and small ryobi batteries and aftermarket ryobi batteries. I mark the yr of purchase on the bottom just to track performance. Not a day goes by I don't use one of these tools. Last yr I recycled a 2014 battery. Ryobi tools are pretty darn good. The little skill saw and sawzall rock. They will do whatever you can do.
