I agree with you to a point. 99.9 times out of 100, this is true. The one tool I’ve had now that has shocked all is my Ryobi 1/2 inch impact. 3 years old now, it’s been dropped, ran over, beat to crap and still has out lived a Milwaukee and a Dewalt impact, both of those had to be warrantied. The dewalt twice. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky with it but it has been great. Really, outside of the Ryobi Sawzall, all my Ryobis have held up pretty well. Granted the only one that gets heavily used nearly daily is my impact
