Ryobi is cheap crap. But in almost all cases, it's better than all the other cheap crap brands.
One tool I've killed more than all others combined is angle grinders. I used to buy the DeWalt brand, and I'd kill them in no time flat. So, I started buying cheaper and cheaper brands, until eventually landing on Ryobi. The head casting split on the first one, but it was still in warranty, so the store gave me a second. I think I've had that second one about 20 years now, which is probably longer than the total combined lifetime of the half-dozen'ish Dewalts I burned out in my early- to mid-20's
