Whenever you bring up tools you'll hear people try to justify what they bought so they don't have buyer's remorse. But the truth is this - If you spend, let's say, $200 on a tool - - Yes, you may have spent $200 on a tool that's only worth $50. - Or you might have spent $200 on a tool that's worth $200. But it will never be worth more than $200. But don't ever kid yourself. Ryobi tools are designed and built to be cheap. If a cheap tool is good enough for you, then great. You didn't waste money on build quality that you don't need. But you still own a cheap tool that was specifically designed to be cheap.
