For those not familiar with Ryobi, the comment by harryhuangkun is correct if you are using the tools professionally. For the typical homeowner, these tools are fine. However, Ryobi has their brushless, brushless compact, and HP (High Performance) tool lines that, although more expensive, compare more favorably to the professional cordless tools from DeWalt or Milwaukee. I have been using the brushless compact and, more recently, the new HP line of Ryobi One+ tools daily in a demanding environment and have found them to be remarkably close in performance and quality to my much more expensive DeWalt tools.
I'm sure this statement will garner a lot of hate from the DeWalt community, so let me just say that DeWalt tools are great when your company is buying the tools. Ryobi One+ HP tools are a pretty darn good option when you are spending your own money - especially when Home Depot has great buys on them as they just did right before Christmas.
My Ryobi tools have brushed motors and they are more than adequate for home use. In the last year or two Ryobi has really stepped up their game with their brushless tools and HP line. The same company (TTI) that makes Milwaukee makes Ryobi which I'm sure aids in their development. There are lots of good reviews for Ryobi tools on YouTube.
I flip homes and use Ryobi non brushless. I don't own a single brushless tool yet. I have never had a Ryobi tool fail me. My drill is 7 years old, been dropped off a roof and used and abused and still works fine. I even mix buckets of drywall mud with it which is not recommended but it does it on the low speed setting.

Regular home owner and tinkerer. Anyone can comment on this vs the $100 12V 5-piece brushless set from Skil? I picked that up yesterday and it's more like 4 piece set as I don't really need the Bluetooth speaker. Light is ok but nothing great but it's more than useable for my needs. https://www.lowes.com/pd/SKIL-PWR...5001047635
I guess the big plus for Ryobi is the variety of tools they have. Skil not so much. I also think one battery eco system is nice but a bit over valued. I am willing to have a couple of different chargers, especially for tools that are not used that often.
I prefer the Skil multitool over the recip saw. You may use it more than a recip. Also, loved that Skil tilting light. For $99, brushless, two batteries, and 5 year warranty, it was a no brainer for me.

Ryobi is going to have a better product line up vs craftsman which currently looks like may be a clear out product.. which will make finding parts hard in the future. ... ryobi, dewalt, makita and Milwaukee are your long term safe bets

The whole brushed vs brushless elitism seems to be purported mostly by people who haven't used tools that long, so I'd honestly say the dude with only 14 rep points is just a shill.
I bet he's never picked up a tool, let alone the old NiCAD tools everyone had to run around with before it went to Li-ion.
If you're talking low resistance/low torque and stationary tools, the brushless variants will provide better rotational force over a brushed tool, when given identical electrical input. This most often translates to better power efficiency (more battery life).
However, the entry point for these elitists always seems to be the power drill/driver and that's when you know they're full of it.
I've only ever witnessed a drywaller notice a difference on a brushless driver because they were able to install an entire commercial floor without swapping batteries.
As for DeWalt... don't even get me started on how overhyped their junk is.
There are plenty of side by side comparison videos of brush vs brushless .... end of the day is slightly longer run time... you can drive a few screws or cut a few extra boards before swapping the dead battery.
Most determined the few extra cuts and screws won't matter to the weekend warrior as much as it may to a daily pro user when it comes to cost difference.
For a pro the tool is a right off on taxes, so why not go the extra.

I'm still using blue Ryobi tools from 15+ years ago and they continue to work great with todays lithium batteries.
For a normal daily use is there any better deal compared to this one, I am just looking for a brushless drill/driver for daily home needs, no need of the flashlight and saw etc.
I'd just buy the refurbed or blemished from Direct tools outlet. There's a $10 flat shipping charge but you can buy the same tolls (or better) for about half the price. https://slickdeals.net/f/15541387-direct-tools-40-off-factory-reconditioned?src=frontpage
Right now the P215 drill in this system is $12. The P235 impact driver is $12. And the P519 recip saw is $18, which is about what they're worth.
Those Ryobi drill Bits and the light are garbage, so you don't want them anyway.

Any suggestions on how to replicate this deal minus the things you said aren't good? I have zero idea how to compare any of these as this is going to be my first tool set. Being that it's my first tool set I don't need anything too crazy but also means I can't tell the difference between one thing and another from the list of tools in the outlet store.

I got the Skil set a few weeks ago. I also have a good collection of 18v Milwaukee stuff. The 12v does most things with no issue at all. For around the house/handyman/tinkering it's great.

Bosch makes damn good tools also. My impact and drill were under 5 feet of sewage water from Ida and both worked after drying out! They are also great to use.

Drill is used for making holes.
Impact is for driving screws into wood, wall etc
