 Depends on the tool and how much you’ll use it. Also look at second hand, better to get quality used tools than buy everything new from Bunnings where half the stuff will die a few months after warranty

 I agree I like quality tools.
2nd hand usually means a trip to the city fucking about.
I don’t particularly love getting Bunnings tools but may end up going that path. And when it dies replace with better quality.
I dunno.

 FYI, the Bunnings returns policy on Ryobi tools is super lax.
They are pretty reasonable tools anyway, but beat them to death and they'll replace with new.
Rinse, repeat.

 Ryobi quality seems to be better recently. I built my slide in camper all with Ryobi 18v tools. I went the brushless option and they seem to be pretty good.
