Can't decide which drill set to purchase

May not be the precise model but this guy does for my money pretty much the only tool reviews on youtubes.


Forgive him, he's Canadian.

Then ryobi have clearly gone up a few notches.

Then ryobi have clearly gone up a few notches.

Leadpig is just talking about this particular model (neither brushed nor top of the range FUEL ), could very well be with same parent company and explains price but not necessarily the strategy.

Many of these products have the same Chinese roots. Remember, not all components are made by the same companies. Take a drill. The plastic outer shell will be made by one company, the gearbox by another, then you'll have the motor, the electronics, the battery & the packaging all made by others. They will all, quite possibly, get assembled & tested by the 'manufacturer' who may have contracted that work too.

Each of those sub-contractors will be selling their components as far and as wide as possible. It's no different to car manus where many many components fit many many cars. It's the job of manus to keep costs down so they share endlessly.

Companies will only pay peanuts, so component manus need to sell much bigger qtys than reqd by one end user to make a profit via economies of scale in their factories. It's all pretty obvs when laid out.

Therefore, it is quite possible these share many components... Proof however is more difficult to obtain.
