I just recently got into the M12 Fuel series by Milwaukee for my DIYs. Still don't regret it.

[@BRUCELAN168]

Me too! I am looking forward to M12 Fuel Surge now. ✌😉

[@honkhonkler7732]

I use Milwaukee in my garage. Their subcompact M12 ratchet is amazing and fits where others can't. I use Makita for my 18v tools. They both have immense quality and variety in those segments.

[@stevekerr1386]

Thanks for all your posts. You guys have become one of my "must see" channels. I am a Ryobi guy and still have some of my "blue" tools although I have upgraded to Li batteries. No issues with any of my tools.

[@Bluecommando10]

I love all the fringe tools Ryobi has in its line. I like the power and ease of Milwaukee for standard tools, but Ryobi has things like a hot glue gun and cordless sprayer. Even if Milwaukee had that stuff I wouldn’t want to spend the money they would want for them.

[@VCGConstruction]

They ever make garage door openers hahaha what other power tool company does that?

[@sebrofc]

Agree with the order 👍 I've gone all in with Ryobi about 8 years ago and have built quite the collection through the years. So glad I landed on Ryobi when I was deciding which line to go with. The batteries and tools that came with my original Ryobi kit back then still work to this day. I love all of the crazy tool options they have I just wish I could afford one of every tool. I've even used Ryobi for my business in some very heavy applications. Some guys have gotten smart with me about how their Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, Hilti etc.. are real tools and Ryobi is inferior to which I say if you want to buy them for me by all means but for the price paid the Ryobi does what I need at a third of the cost. If it drives a screw and cuts a board who really cares what name is on the tool.

[@_LoKo_ReNeGaDe_613_]

I love using my Dewalt power tools for any project! Love the videos Vince!!!!

Awesome! Thank you cuz!

Love the channel. Keep up the great work. Your knowledge/experience is invaluable.

[@AJamesCo]

I love my Ridgid power tools. Upgrading to the new brushless versions and the octane battery system. Lifetime service agreement too.

[@Cyal8ter420]

Vince you know that line of XTR Kobalt is way better than Ryobi and these other brands you put on here. I'm starting to see some biased opinions from Mr. Vince lol!!! Vince is a Home Depot guy for life lmfao!!! Still love ya Vince. The only down fall i see to the XTR Kobalt brand that i would give Ryobi props for would be the expansion of tools they've come out with in that brand but with that being said the Kobalt XTR series would out perform all these tool brands on this list hands down for just DIY or for everyday work. Put some respect on the Kobalt brand!!!

[@alisameche5905]

Love your videos and the advice you give on best to last tools, not just for DIY people but for pros.

[@thethinblueline2444]

Vince, I think you hit the list and order of the list right on brother!

[@izziereal2010]

This year I needed to buy some power tools for work at home. The prices are great for Ryobi tools, especially when they are on sale. I bought them little by little and now I have a great Ryobi set (mostly brushless) for home use.

[@cluelessgamer8136]

I use Ryobi for pro applications and have not been let down. Under Extreme conditions their brushless line has exceeded all my expectations. The scewgun especially, that thing is a beast. The abuse I've put it through and the fact that it still works...amazing. The sawzall is probably about to die though. But to be honest I've put that thing through hell :) I've recently purchased some Kobalt tools to add to my collection to address the lack of those particular tools in the Ryobi line and so far love them. I purchased the older gen Kobalt 1/2 in impact (not XTR) and love it. The thing will literally drive over 200 6" lags into 2 2x6s on 2 4ah batteries.

[@andrewl62]

I have recently started adding to my Ryobi Tool collection, Love them

[@daylilygardener6558]

I agree with this list totally...as I buy new Ryobi tools, I give my old tools to sons for their homes...

[@rvelazquez47]

I agree Vince... I just bought that Ryobi 6 tool pack and I am in love with it... Have a good weekend.

[@VCGConstruction]

Nice Raul!!! Let us know how those tools hold up for you and happy father's day weekend to you and your family!

[@nehemiasmartinez2985]

I must agree with this, i use Makita for all my work, and keep those ryobi at home for small things to get done

[@jubei20111]

I'm a home DIYer and I switched over to DeWalt. Reason being is because it saves a lot of time and I feel allows me to do better work. I had a Ryrobi miter saw but it would always cut 1-2 degrees off so it made doing trim work a huge pain. I bought a DeWalt miter saw and cuts perfect so it saves not only my time but also reduces cost of having numerous bad cuts as a result of the inaccuracies of the Ryobi.

[@mjc8761]

Thx for the information! It’s great for a DYIr to know 😊

[@VCGConstruction]

Hope this video helped!

[@free2chasehappy]

Couldn't agree more, the only reason I have not jump on the kobalt brand is due to its less expansive tool line. Especially the need for a router.

[@javi_fades3880]

Just bought an 8 tool Ryobi set love them so far gets the job done for all of my projects. Next make a video on when & how you know it’s time to move on from “DIY” tools? and what brand to use after Ryobi ?

[@jimiwadnola1323]

I agree I have had ryobi tools for going on 10 years and they haven’t let me down even doing contractor grade projects.

[@jamestoney398]

Kobalt XTR are indeed contractor grade. I've got 7 of them, one is used daily since they came out, and still preforms like new. The Skillsaw needs a little work, but otherwise they are amazing. The impact driver, and hammer drill are great. I strongly recommend the XTR line

[@bluebearbank247]

DeWalt/Makita fan here. Hands down, Ryobi is amazing. They are outnumbering my DeWalt/Makita tool collection quickly (Bought 2x $99 Ryobi day special during this father's day sale). You know, DeWalt yellow used to meant "construction" (like yellow safety hat from 80s) but nowadays "Neon yellow = construction," right? Brilliant marketing by Ryobi, hat's off to that. Very eye-catching and easier to see/remember where my tools are. Also, Home Depot staff are much friendlier than the ones in Lowe's around my neighborhood. That add on to my preference on Ryobi vs. Kobalt factor. Great video VCG, happy father's day.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank you for the real world feedback bluebearbank247 we appreciate the support!!

[@johnmcdonagh5325]

Great content Vince!

[@AncientHippie]

Thanks for your reviews. The only RYOBI that let me down was a handheld vacuum (bad suction if you added ANY extension tube) otherwise I own lawn stuff from them as well as tools. I recently got a Skil Impact Driver, love it.

[@andywhtwo000]

My favorite thing about the Ryobi line is the Hybrid tools they have. They can use battery or extension cable for longer work time and better power.

[@buterdhams]

I agreed on the top 2 and why! Great video Maybe one time explain the differences in Milwaukee tools and different levels etc

[@TBRCHUD]

Just picked up the Ryobi six tool kit a week ago. Spent the first day sawing up trees and branches for a few hours with the reciprocating saw. I put a decent Bosch blade on it and it kicked ass all day on one battery. I didn’t miss corded Dewalt in the slightest. Picked up the tire inflator and portable stereo with 2 extra batteries too all for $350 out the door. You can’t beat that. Messed around a bit with the other tools just to try them out. I wouldn’t want them if I was a contractor but I’m pretty sure for just about anything I’ll be doing at my house big and small I think these will do the job just fine and there’s 20 other tools I want to add that won’t break the bank for the amount of time I’ll use them. Tell your crafty wife they have a cordless glue gun and watch her eyes light up and bask in the glorious moment where she actually wants you to go spend more money on tools. It’s great.

[@Ty_7]

I admit I thought you were gonna say kobalt < ryobi < skil > hercules > hart. But, I own ryobi as my second line because they have everything and they work well. (directtools is invaluable) and love them so i agree. kobalt does have some quality tools and a good warranty tho. Skil is a good mid- point. Hard are just bad for the prices. Herculese are decent tools as long as u don't have an issue in the 91st day.

[@nicholashomler1494]

The free tool with he battery pack is the brushed version. Still a good value

[@stephaniemarkey9396]

This order sounds about right. Hart definitely prices itself just a little too far outside its target demographic, maybe to cover initial launch expenses. It's essentially a palette swapped Ryobi design with a modern slide battery, which is actually kind of cool if you think about it. Gives TTI an opportunity to step out of the stem pack game in the disguise of another budget line. If the guts in those Hart tools ever matches Ryobi quality, having a less clunky battery is a big point in its favor. I have invested in three different lines: Ryobi One+ for affordable versatility (lighting, infrequently used tools, etc.), first gen Kobalt for heavy lifting, and most recently some Milwaukee M12 since Kobalt's 12 volt game is nonexistent. Both Ryobi and Kobalt have been very good to me and the people I am able to help with them.

[@James-id5xq]

I agree with the list 💯% Also may want to consider these..... Bauer - similar performance/quality to Hart at a much lower price. Good selection of tools if on tighter budget Rigid - probably more of a contractor grade but can find good deals if you watch this channel or holiday sales. Best warranty of any brand Milwaukee M12 - expensive batteries but you can get drill, impact, 2 batteries and charger now for $199 at Depot now. Probably the best line for automotive ratchet/Impact wrenches Hyper Tough - ok that was a joke

[@VCGConstruction]

Hyper tough that was the best!! 😄😂🤣👏

[@bhribik21ify]

Great video brother 👊👍💪. I think if the skil tools were more readily available they could have easily climbed to the top of the list.... Kobalt is kicking some major booty with their 24V Max line. Still am very impressed with what yinz have been able to get out of them during TTR. Again thanks for the video guys!! Keep up the good work. #VeryCoolGang

[@craigphillips3154]

I don't think anybody can argue much with the rankings. I would say, though, that there is a big gap between 3 and 4. I have a brushless Skil drill-driver.and a brushed impact driver, along with the cordless screwdriver. No complaints at all. The screwdriver gets more use than anything. It's just so easy to grab it and a bit for around the house quick stuff. What I like most about it is that it's got a modern battery that holds a charge, it has an actual USB charger port, and it has a 5 year warranty! I can grab it and not have to find a battery, it's light, and I don't have to worry about over torquing a fastener.

[@WildhareXXX]

Kobalt quality and performance at a very competitive price makes them the best in my opinion. Milwaukee and DeWalt have nothing up on Kobalt. I own some of both of them. I find myself reaching for the Kobalts when the going gets tough and I need just a little bit more power. Their 1/2" XTR impact is a beast! Although the M18 Milwaukee FUEL line is pretty awesome as well.

[@gian-lucbrasseur207]

Not a kobalt fan here. I would take dewalt and Milwaukee over them in a heart beat. Due to past experience.

[@jamescarpenter4218]

I've use dewalt and makita at work then I got into the ryobi and some of my ryobi tools I found can work just as good for what I need at home with more then enough power

[@leroyj9044]

I just bought the ryobi 6 tool kit the other day, i had old B&D and porter cable drill drivers and the ni-cad batteries are just not holding enough charge anymore. I can drill about 2-5 holes in 2x4s with the B&D 24v drill my dad got in 2007, and about the same with each of the 9.6V porter cable batteries that my grandfather got in 2002. Even with the kit being brushed, i am fairly certain they'll be an upgrade over decade+ tools.

[@ddvss]

You remind me of the Home Shopping Network sales reps, I admire your way of selling products, especially if you had to sell them for like an hour straight. Well done.

[@aliw3104]

Great video. Very helpful for the up and coming DIYr. Just started on my line of Ryobis. Thanks. To bad we in Canada don't have the same deals and packages you guys have south of the border.

[@jt_mStesla]

Is there a video where you test the kobalt xtr impact driver against the ryobi p268 impact driver? I would love to see that showdown

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

Nice List Brosuff. I had to sink my teeth into that buy two batteries and charger from Ryobi for $99 and I decided to go with the free drill and driver. Sweet Deal if you ask me. Even for the batteries alone. Cheers!

[@mfill5043]

Couldn't agree more on the list!

[@joshuarolle6040]

My list was pretty much in line with yours, although I was surprised that Hart beat out Hercules. I did have Kobalt as a close #1, but I totally agree with your reasoning for Ryobi to take the lead.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks for the awesome feedback Joshua! It was defineltly a close list too make and came down too little details.

[@Griffinwoodworks]

Good stuff Vince. But I’d like to see a video on what I’d refer to as good hobbyist/prosumer tools. Those of us that use our tools more than your weekend warrior, run of the mill diy projects, but those of us that will use our tools doing what we love 5-6 days a week after our regular job, but aren’t hammering on them all day long.

[@_P0tat07_]

@4:00 I love how the baby is all the way at the end of the table away from the rest of the family lmao

[@ccadama]

@VCG Construction. Thanks Vince for putting this video together. I agree with your assessment. Ryobi has been true to their owners going back to the 1990's about the battery platform. If you bought a Ryobi 18V tool back then with NiCad batteries and it still works you can still use it now but now with their LiIon batteries. What other tool company does that? If you really only want to own one battery platform, Ryobi is hard to beat in the DIY market. We'll see how the other companies you mentioned will do over time. FWIW I don't own any Ryobi tools. Hope you and your family stay safe and well. Wishing you and all the fathers a Happy Father's day.

[@adambarbian9671]

Gotta have porter cable on this list. I’ve used it for years and had zero issues. Personally skil, mastercraft (Menards house brand), craftsman (haven’t tried the new ones yet but I’m pretty sure porter cable and dewalt had a baby together), and porter cable. Kobalt is a good nod to ur list. I’ve been thinking about switching to them based on power, cost, and the growing line.

[@dannymeil3294]

I have Dewalt cordless tools but I also have a number of ryobi cordless tools to complete my line of tools. They are priced in a category of exceptional value. And they hold up just as well as the pro tools I use at work.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks for sharing your experience with the gang Danny! We appreciate the real world feed back!

[@jamesrusso6908]

I bought a kobalt for my vehicle use nd the impact did impressive.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks for the real world experience James we appreciate the feedback!

[@shawnanderson8307]

I'm buying in the hart line, have several hart tools, I do agree they need to release more items to compete. If they release as many items as ryobi and start doing sales like the two batteries get a tool free, I feel like they have a shot at being a contender. Wasnt very impressed with their fathers day sale of buy 3 tools for 139.

[@joshuasutton2163]

I think that for my own personal use, I would go more for a budget minded pro tool such as Kobalt. Your list seems pretty spot on, but when it comes to Hercules, I’ve learned not to trust anything from Harbor Freight.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Hercules tools are made far better than Ryobi. They're contractor grade and shouldn't be in this video. Their only issue is how small the line is.

[@mhdphotographys9031]

I bought most of the ryobi tools back in the early days 18 volt one and they are still going strong.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

I feel weekend warriors, DIY, homeowners should basically do what you said at the beginning and just catch the contractor grade stuff on Black Friday sales or Christmas sales. It would last them pretty much forever if they bought a DeWalt or Milwaukee or Makita over buying five different drills from Walmart or the harbor freight

[@Jase0001]

I agree Ryobi is top of this list due to the line of tools they have and are putting out every few months! And they are getting better!

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks for the feedback Jason! We appreciate all your support!

Ryobi is the only one available here in Norway, so easy choice! Started my collection of tools with Ryobi, but currently moving over to Makita as I want to take it one step further.

[@Sir_Pants_Alot]

Ryobi kind of had to be number one for this particular list. But It does seem like the Kobalt are the highest quality tools here. Just... overkill for household tasks.

[@cm01]

Overkill maybe but if you have the luxury of waiting for sales and deals they can easily be as cheap as Ryobi so they have that going for them

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@@cm01 Sure... but then you can get Ryobi on sale

[@westmanjoel]

What I find interesting is that your top five for beginners all come from two companies, with the exception of Hercules. TTI (Hart and Ryobi) and Chervon (Skil and Kobalt) make all four of the others. So are the Craftsman and/or Porter Cable lines from Stanley not worthy of a mention, or are they in the next category up?

Welcome to China team, we beat USA easily

[@bigrobbyd.6805]

1) Hart is way overpriced. Good tools, but people here are skipping Wal-Mart and going to HD or Lowe's. 2) Skil is coming on strong. I'd love to give it a try. They need a good, in-store presence. 3) Ryobi is the King of DIY. It'll be hard to knock it off the throne. 4) HF totally screwed up the Hercules line from the start, and they're still screwing it up. 5) Kobalt XTR are completely bad-ass. Very impressive! EDIT: I'm surprised that you included Hart instead of Craftsman, which is a way better line in several ways.

[@VCGConstruction]

Because of the more expansive line and price we feel craftsman falls more in the contractor grade of tools.

[@joshelford8259]

@@VCGConstruction I would love to see some reviews on Porter Cable. I'm interested in your viewpoint on PC because I'm a simple homeowner but live on a ranch. I've had my PC (brushed at that) for over 5 years and have abused them pretty good. From basic home use, wood project applications, sheet metal, grinding, sanding etc. They are still going strong. Not to mention my small town only has a tractor supply. The nearest big box is an hour drive. I'm been researching your channel heavily the past couple years to decide if I want to switch platforms or move to the brushless PC line. Help us old school PC people out brother!

[@betods1013]

Really liking Skil. They make really good tools. Not that expensive. And easy to get via Amazon. Most are available next-day shipping. And almost all the tools come with a battery and charger. They may not have every tool that Ryobi has, but I don't need an 18v toilet paper dispenser, pancake flipper, foot massager.

[@emileemarshall7757]

Dang Vince an VCGGGG construction i agree 1000 % with the line up

[@reznor_59]

Milwaukee M18 (will be getting some m12 eventually) for me. More than I need for what I’m usually doing, but I shop the deals and have never regretted paying a bit more to get such awesome tools. But if I hadn’t gone that route I would have gone with rigid (I know, technically also not a ‘homeowner” line) to save some money. Kobalt would have been the next choice, since I’ve had some issues in reliability with the Ryobi products I bought in the past.

[@donphillips5957]

We started our business 15 years ago we were using mostly Ryobi, problems we had were that they wouldn't take being dropped from any height at all, and the batteries had a very short service life. I don't know if they have improved, 12 years is a lifetime any more.

When I bought my drills I got Craftsman. Only tool brand that I knew was good and was in my budget. But my next drills would probably be Kobalt

[@demacksgarage3000]

I use only porter cable tools I have done alot of work built along of sheds and dry walled an entire garage with homeowner tools and are showing no sign of getting weaker

[@bobbakersfield7199]

I use a variety of tools. Ryobi is not a contractor grade so the quality is not there for mishaps such as drops from heights or other such aggressive usage and extreme conditions .... They are comfortable tools but not durable. They perform well enough and in some cases better than higher ender's. They have an awesome line of cordless tools and the price point is affordable for DIYers. It's definitely a line to invest in.

[@Being_Joe]

I'm deciding between Kobalt and Ryobi. After ten years one of the batteries on my DeWalt drill died and after looking at the cost for new batteries (from a out of date system) I decided I may be better off with a new kit. I also need a circular saw. Now I don't do much and I have been very happy with my DeWalt drill but I can't justify the cost of batteries for what I need. Ryobi does have a lot more tools but I have to figure out if I might actually ever need those. Kobalt on the other hand, has cheaper batteries and it looks like they have a lot of the basic tools down. From what I understand Ryobi is owned by the same company that owns Milwaukee so I don't see them outgrowing the DIY market. With Kobalt I can see a scenario down the road where they up their tools enough to where they can raise their prices and shift from a DIY to a Pro market. For now though Kobalt is winning me over with that battery price and the quality they are supposed to have. Still looking around though.

[@gian-lucbrasseur207]

It's Milwaukee and Dewalt. They tie for me. Great products.

[@ThoseOneGuysInc]

I’ve really enjoyed my kobalt tools. They seem like a pretty good choice to me.

[@vane5736]

[@dvxAznxvb]

Don’t think it’s any cheaper though for being the store brand

[@devilefan]

Now you know my take and how I feel about Ryobi... I have said this many many many times in my comments and on my channel that in terms of price... Quality... Power... and value... there is not a better power tool brand on the market...dare I include even Milwaukee!!!...Not saying for a second that they are better overall than Milwaukee because I would be an idiot... what I'm saying is you get more than what you pay for with Ryobi... not to mention the sheer variety of tools they have is unmatched... I can't think of one thing around your home you wouldn't be able to get done with this lineup.... truly the best homeowner/DIYER brand on the planet... European or otherwise!!!

[@Borescoped]

Personally, I buy red for the important tools, but have some green around also for the oddball tools that either Milwaukee doesn’t make or that I wouldn’t want to pay Milwaukee prices for, like the caulking gun, hot glue gun, rotary tool.

[@VCGConstruction]

That's a good question Rodney! I would say spending a little extra gets you the closest too pro quality tools on this list. Regular kobalt is also good quality.
