Skip Ryobi and Craftsman, this affordable power tool brand offers better prices and 5-year warranties
I ditched Ryobi for Hercules after the warranty math made it impossible to ignore.
If you've been buying Ryobi or Craftsman because they seemed like the safe, practical choice, the warranty math might not be working in your favor anymore. Both brands offer a 3-year limited warranty on their cordless lineups, and neither makes it easy to get a replacement when something goes wrong. However, there is still Hercules, which acts a lot like Craftsman used to.
