Same! I have a ton of harbor freight and Ryobi tools that work great. I've replaced a few over the years with fancier versions as they wear or break.
I want a makita impact driver. Deeply. Tho that teal thrills me not at all.
Teal is my favorite color and yet I own no Makita. I'm very agnostic otherwise. Have things in all the other "houses" plus Harbor Freight brands and Kobalt.
Cheap > breaks > upgrade is my motto
I am sticking to one house to limit how many batteries and chargers I need to worry about. Ryobi has had the same battery format for like 20 years, so I'm less worried about obsolescence.
