#3 The Mail is easily shocked and horrified. Especially when moments are involved. One imagines they must keep a cardiologist on retainer.

#4 You go to all the trouble to fill a cart and chose Ryobi?

#5 Those Ryobi are pretty decent tools in my opinion. Also I doubt a thief knows a whole lot about tools, that would require working with them.

#6 One imagines they must keep a cardiologist on retainer.

Snark of the day! If not a cardiologist, at least a fainting couch for when the headline writers get the vapors.

#9 By today’s standards Ryobe ain’t half bad. I’d still go with Dewalt or Milwaukee, but Dewalt and Milwaukee ain’t Dewalt or Milwaukee anymore.

#10 I got rid of all my DeWalt when I moved, bought new Ryobi, have been completely satisfied. They are still adding new products all the time.

#11 It’s all chinaman bullshit nowadays.

#12 Nobody is going to pay $775.00 for a cordless drill made at union scale in the USA. DoD might pay that price, but they would still demand Chinese spy tech built into it.

#13 Odds are he found the closest display and scooped a bunch into the cart without thinking about quality, brand, or use.

#14 Ryobi and Milwaukee recently displaced Dewalt in all the end caps at Homo Depot...

#15 I’d gladly pay $775 for a cordless drill that I knew my great grandchildren would pass on to their children. I inherited my maternal grandparents’ in which I live toady. The A/C window unit from the late 60s or so finally played out three years ago. The replacement lasted two years. It’s replacement will be replaced next Spring before it gets hot again. Quality is absolute shit these days. Don’t get me started on refrigerators/deep freezers or automobiles/parts. Blood pressure gets high enough on tools day-to-day.
