I use Ryobi since I am a avid DIY & it works just fine. No issues at all for me.

I did use my ryobi drill to mix thinset & that did not go over well...started smoking but it still works.

Milwaukee or Makita for pro grade or if you have lot's of money Hilti.

Not my favorite, just that it's cheap and gets the job done. Stuff from Harbor Freight. Haven't had an issue with stuff I get there. I wouldn't recommend for professional use, but if you only use these tools every so often, it's not bad.

When I started years ago, I bought a similar caliber Power Fist drill for 39.99 from Princess Auto.

Used that drill underwater, dropped it off roofs, and beat the chit out of it.

That damn thing kept on going. Completely chit tier, but lulzy that I got almost two years out of it.

Ive ran harbor freight power tools on sites where tools end up missing

No shame in the game

I beat the hell out of them and left them, I'm sure someone took them home

When I did heavy woodworking I got Bosch tools. They lasted me years sold them when I got neuropathy from treatment. But seriously I had them for 10 years without any issues and I didn't baby them after the first year either. I recently got a Dewalt Drill and it's awesome. The keyless chuck is wonderful. I do miss my old tools.
