as for tools its ideal to buy the best quality because theyl last forever.
also, you probably already know this but youtube has a huge amount of informational videos about pretty much anything you could want, so you can learn how to do specific projects the right way. i did this for faucets and replaced mine, thats actually easy to do.

there is a tax payment coming due at the end of the year. as you know 2020 has been complicated. not sure yet if i can figure out something re:tax lien.

I've gotten the walls done in 2 rooms. was ready to start the next one when i broke my arm. the ceilings and trim need painting too. don't want to do these ceilings at all. think i would need scaffolding.

If its something you use a lot buy the higher quality.
Also depends on the tool. Say something like wire strippers, the cheapo ones are chit and wont work right. But something like a mallot, why would i buy a luxury mallot, its pretty simple right.
also would rather have wired for everything except battery powered drills are obviously very convenient. Butif you want some tools for life that you will only use every 5 years, prob better its wired. I dont see the reason to have battery powered saws, those are for tradies that use them every day and have back up wired saws too. BRB in 10 years trying to find a battery online for your discontinued saw, that is too much hassle.

That kit isn't a good one per say, but it is a good price for it.
Id also throw out that tool rental is very cheap.So the few jobs you're going to need a saw for, rent one for $15. Invest in higher quality batteries for things such as impacts and drivers.

pretty sure Ryobi is a Home Depot specific brand or did they change that?

They were great for everything I dofrom house repairs to working on cars.
have used them for over 19years and they still work with the newer batteries.
A professional would have a different opinion.
I am asking for more of them for Xmas.

Good point about wired tools and rentals.

What I had been thinking w/appearance stuff was mostly to increase interest/bids if I list it on MLS.If you aren't going to do a full Reno then don't even bother, just sell it as is. You'll just be wasting you time and materials.

Ryobi is ok for homeowner with occasional-to-moderate use (I have some Ryobi stuff). The buy once, cry once mantra with tools is often the best approach if you will have fairly heavy use (that's where you get into Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, etc.). If you have a specific project that requires a specific tool that you probably won't use much after that . . . it used to be that Harbor Freight could be a good buy. But their prices have been going up. Still "can be" a good path.
But I wouldn't buy things like drills/drivers, miter saws, table saws, etc from HF.

Yeah I would say that kit is fine and then you can buy lil accessories for other odd jobs you might need.
And how did you break you arm? what happened?
Only reason people think Ryobi sucks is from like 10 years ago but these days everything pretty much works, and has lots of battery efficiency. Way back in the days only the expensive brands were decent. Now everything pretty much is. They figured out how to make it cheap but works fine.

ryobi stuff will get you through the project, power tool guys get very tribalistic over brand but for a general homeowner, ryobi is fine. i have a shop full of dewalt but that's because i'm not interested in buying twice. milwaukee stuff is great too
that said, i'm not a fan of the kits because you almost always end up with stuff that you don't need/something that you could replace with a better option. they just shove filler in there to make you go "ooh a flashlight" but you're paying way too much for it. most of the time you can buy "tool only" tools off ebay for much less than msrp from people who get kits on sale then sell the tools individually for their profit. usually end up with a million batteries and chargers too when you only need maybe 2 or 3 batteries and 1 charger. 1 charger where you're working, 1 battery in the tool you're using, 1 battery on the saw or whatever tool outside
you're mostly going to be using a drill-driver, an impact driver, a circular saw and maybe an oscillating multitool as a homeowner, outside of specialty tools. oscillating multitools are surprisingly useful. rotozips are super nice for heavy drywall projects too. i'd get a corded circular saw personally, the 18v cordless ones are pretty fukin wimpy and discharge fast if you're not cutting with perfect technique
miter saw and table saw will provide a lot of value if you're literally re-trimming the entire house but i'm not sure i'd focus on them. miter saw first though and i think a harbor freight one would get you by since you're not doing stain-grade trim where supreme accuracy is needed

Ryobi is decent for home use.
Look for the brushless series with the ONE+ HP batteries....these batteries are made to work with the brushless tools and provide them more power

Why are you buying battery-powered tools if it's your own the place and have access to power?
Mains powered drills and saws are better and cheaper. Maybe buy a cordless drill at best for the hard to reach areas but otherwise buy an extension reel.
Tradies will know more, but if you want to tile, get a small tile cutter saw(table) or angle grinder. Mitre saws are expensive so you might want to learn to hand cope trim.

Never had anything Ryobi. But I would just get what you need as you go along.
I always prefer 115 volt powertools. There's no battery packs to fail in a few years, or have to wait while they charge.
With sets, I find that there is a lot of bulk junk they like to add on that you won't need like a flashlight and is thrown in to make it look like you're getting more.
I wouldn't expect to do much with a battery powered skil saw, or anything else beyond the drill on battery power. I would rather have a cheap 115 volt saw from Harbour freight, or a used one from a garage sale or Craigslist.
Although the prices of the sets you've shown aren't all that bad in price, I would just get a drill and buy the rest as needed.

All Ryobi house checking in. They're homeowner grade tools - I've never had a problem except a faulty battery that was covered under warranty. Built my children's beds, our dining table etc, never had an issue.
If I were a professional who's using them 5+ hours a day I'd get something nicer like DeWalt. But as someone who uses his miter saw a few times a year, Ryobi is FINE.

I have good power tools. I have a pile of Makita 18v and also the a bunch from Milwaukee M12 lineup. I'm almost a tool collector srs.
I would 100% recommend Ryobis 18v lineup. Its amazing how many different cordless they have. I bought their cordless glue gun and a makita battery adapter.

If your just fixing up a few things here and there for your satisfaction the odds of the buyers turning around and redoing everything are pretty high. Imo it’s a huge waste of time.

Ryobi has been good for me. I've had Makita also and the Ryobi has lasted just as long. If I were getting one of the sets, I would get this one. I use a sawzall way more than a router.

Sorry gents, Hilti mogs all.
It is common to send 20 year old impact drivers back to hilti to rebuild the head, then back into service.
I have a full cordless set, skillsaw, Sawzall, light, drill, driver, jigsaw, cordless die grinder, rock drill etc and eight 22v batteries, plus a full 12v set.
The average person, especially homeowners don't want to pay what they charge for their cordless stuff, but their 12v stuff is comparable to lower end 18 and 22v tools.
Call your rep if you have an issue and they pay postage even to repair.

It is common to send 20 year old impact drivers back to hilti to rebuild the head, then back into service.
I have a full cordless set, skillsaw, Sawzall, light, drill, driver, jigsaw, cordless die grinder, rock drill etc and eight 22v batteries, plus a full 12v set.
The average person, especially homeowners don't want to pay what they charge for their cordless stuff, but their 12v stuff is comparable to lower end 18 and 22v tools.
Call your rep if you have an issue and they pay postage even to repair.

I personally prefer a mixture of battery powered/corded tools.
For Drills and reciprocating saws, I usually go Battery power, 20V for sure. For homeowner use, I really like Kobalt tools (Lowes exclusive). I've had a set similar to the OP minus the sander for about 6 years. Still works 100% to this day.
For Circular saws, sanders, multi-tools or dremel like items I always go corded. I find the batteries die too quickly and I don't want to spend a ton of money on extra batteries.
Don't overlook Harbor Freight tools, they aren't tradie approved for daily use, but for home owners they can get the job done cheap and most have life time warranty, so if it breaks, you get a new one.
$279 for all that stuff in your OP is really cheap...too cheap IMO. I think that kit would be fine for a "just to have incase" type of scenario, but you seem to have a good amount of heavy housework to do. I would invest in higher quality tools.

Also really good transits and autolevels. All our corded rock drills are hilti. They are about three g a piece.

I do most of the maintenance on my 23 short term rentals. Not going to suggest a brand, just suggesting a list.
drill
circular saw
reciprocating saw
jig saw
vibratory saw (not sure if that's the proper name)
pipe wrench
socket set
box and open end wrenches
4.5" angle grinder with grinding and cutting wheels
box cutter
level
one of those pry bars that look like a 7 (wunderbar?)
blow torch that screws on to the little green propane tanks
alternating current detector
outlet tester
soldering gun
wire strippers
multi meter
eventually you'll want a 110 volt wire feed welder
Some day I'll have a plasma cutter.
