Of those "big" names, Milwaukee is the only one that TTi owns outright; the other names are licensed from their owners. It is positioned as their high-end/pro-grade brand. Ryobi is their consumer-grade/DIYer brand. Hart is a budget brand, exclusive to Walmart.
The mid-range is a stranger duck because the Ridgid brand is owned by Emerson Electric, and is better known for their plumbing tools. Their power tools are split between stuff made in-house (vacuums) and TTi (drills, saws, etc.).
Elsewhere in the world, those tools are sold under the AEG brand, which has a long, diversified history, and is currently owned by Electrolux, the appliance maker. There are some AEG-branded tools (like garden tools) that aren't marketed in the U.S. as Ridgid, which has a narrower scope.
I suspect these relationships are more complicated, and limited, because there are areas where they have some potential overlap and could be considered in competition with each other. Emerson makes shop vacs, but TTi also makes vacuums under their Hoover, Oreck, and Dirt Devil brands.
Both parties do enjoy the mutual benefits from their partnerships, but there are limits, and that's reflected in the effort put forth into those brands. One, or both, may be reluctant to go farther, since there is the risk those relationships could end at some point. TTi doesn't share the same risk of having Milwaukee, or Hart lost, or yanked away, so they're fully invested in those brands.
From the consumer viewpoint, a bit unusual, to be sure, but only the product managers can truly explain the decisions they make, or the constraints under which they make them.

It just feels…more substantial/durable/industrial. If you have a DTO near you go check them out.

I agree they should make a Whisper Rigid series
I really don't understand why they are putting so many resources into their entry level ryobi line and seemingly nothing into ridgid lately. Maybe it's the LSA killing them slowly.
But we digress. If anyone needs a smaller fan that can run extended times and be plugged in, this one isn't terrible…I just like the 14" version better.

I mostly use it after overheating myself doing hard work. I lay down on the basement tile and put this bad boy on high. Works well. I usually fall asleep and my wife thinks I'm dead.
I also have the Milwaukee M12 fan and it's also good, but not nearly as powerful as this one. This Ridgid fan has a more pleasing white noise (to me) as well. It was nice having both while camping on a hot night and kept the four of us coool.
