I like Hyper Tough. I have several of their hand tools, tool adjacent items and I really like their modular tool box system. However, I don't think I would ever buy one of their power tools.
Everything I've seen says low quality and cheap. I looked at buying one of their drills to use for cleaning the bathroom (the little sponge things you can chuck), and I decided against it even though it was only $30. The batteries/chargers seem crappy too.
Plus, if you go with Ryobi, you're buying into a system that probably has whatever tool you'll need for the foreseeable future. They often have sales. And I believe their batteries are very highly rated.
I'm surprised folks recommend Ryobi over Rigid. Both made by TTI along with Milwaukee. However, Rigid comes with a lifetime service agreement, provided you register within 90 days and reregister every replacement item you receive after a claim, including batteries. It's a much better "warranty". Buy once, never have to purchase replacement tool or battery again.
That's true too. I personally went with ryobi just because they have more deals and more of a variety of tools. I also know I'm not going to overwork my power tools though, and I take good care of the batteries.
I love lifetime warranties though. Husky is very serious about their hand tool warranty, and harbor freight does not fuss about theirs.
I also wasn't trying to sound like a jerk, I was just genuinely surprised.

I've beat the shit out of some cheapo hyper tough power tools and they're still up for it. The batteries also had quality samsung cells which was a surprise. Not sure if they still do
I'm not saying the batteries or tools will wear out anytime soon. However, all li-ion batteries will eventually need replacing, regardless of how one uses them. Why pay for something again, especially a battery, when you have lifetime free replacement battery "warranty" options.

I sold it and bought the big Ryobi impact (PBLIW01B) and a Milwaukee M12 Stubby (Best power tool in existence, 2563-20).
RYOBI is a perfectly fine system to use. At $80 with a battery, you'll be super happy.
Get an impact socket set from Harbor Freight that has your lug nut size and keep this thing in your trunk. It'll be handy one day. As a reminder, check the air in your spare tire.
Also consider the RYOBI PCL001B tire inflator, uses the same battery.
Dad… is that… you??
