I feel that Ryobi has been catching up to it's big brothers in Milwaukee and Rigid lately not only in terms of raw power but also in terms of reliability. The few times a year DTO deals can also provide some lesser used tools at a lower price which is big plus. Metabo HPT still has the better woodworking tools and smoother overall but the Ryobi ecosystem is much wider and better for the average homeowner/DIYer(lawn mowers, inflators etc) compared to Metabo HPT in my opinion.
I honestly think it's a solid combo to run Metabo HPT and Ryobi if anyone does run two battery systems, especially if the Metabo 36V lineup expands.
I can't speak for the impacts, I have them, don't like impacts even though they'd save my wrist daily. I do have a big boy 1100 ftlb impact, which isn't that big boy to be honest, and my own hydraulic setup for 7000ftlb specs, plus various slug wrenches when a hammer and a wrench is needed at high torque. all that to say, impacts are great and will save your body, but I will rarely go for one driving screws/lags and won't waste time on a smaller impact when my slight heavier one will fit almost anywhere and break anything reasonably less than welded together.
metabo hpt saws, routers, drills are top notch and are hard to beat and will stand against and usually above any other platform. if you need battery vacuums, or little portable pumps and what have you, there are clearly other platforms that will suit your needs. Milwaukee is okay but they have serious problems and their fans, oops I mean users, are brand blind. if you need a top quality saw, they just aren't there, and their drills have issues.
I will question that test you linked and wonder if it's a defect on that specific tool, but I'll also gladly take a loss on the impact for the rest of the tools. I know a lot of people who use them and love them though, they aren't having torsional/lateral twist from the hammer over shooting, which makes me think this is a bad batch.
I'll be honest, I HATE metabo and dislike they acquired hitachi, I'm only just getting into metabo hpt battery tools this past year. the only thing I dislike about the metabo hpt line is the 18v batteries do not have a battery indicator. while I've bypassed that by charging batteries more often between projects, it's annoying to my brain.
I like the 18v drill a lot, a lot of power vs other brands. I do get into a habit of grabbing the 36v hammer drill more often though, which will drive 1.5" washers through oak as if it were a hole saw without a problem. Milwaukee comes close, maybe even slightly over powers the 36v, is a tad smaller, but they have some major durability issues. metabo hpt seems to be real stout.
these deals Keep happening from what I can see because they keep modifying their line ups. I wish they could expand their utility a tad more, not that I want a lawn mower, but I do think there are some common tools they should be releasing somewhat soon. I don't mind the deals/ clearance, I keep buying batteries and random tools as they go half off. I only need the framing nailer. 50% off would complete my set. they're worth full price don't get me wrong, but they started this extreme couponing trend of constant deals/ free batteries.
I'm not sure there's a bad tool eco system, but there are better ones and ones that suit your needs better. frankly I was planning on making an adapter plate to run a couple other brand tools that will only see maybe 2 hours of use a year.
