We had a ryobi 5 peice set my boss brought to a job site one time and the impact broke in 3 days

It's more than 20-30% though. A Ryobi mower, trimmer, blower, 2 batteries and a charger is $400. A Makita mower, blower, 2 batteries and a charger is $750. That's nearly double the price and it doesn't include a blower, so it's a little hard for me to justify.
If those adapters were the other way around so I could use Ryobi batteries with other brand tools that'd be really nice. That way if I do toast a Ryobi tool I could grab a higher end version of the same tool without needing new batteries.
