But Ryobi and Milwaukee are both owned and manufactured by the same company TTI, they’re practically the same tools just with a different plastic shell
Owned by same company does not mean same tool. I own a bunch of m12 fuel and some Ryobi too. My Milwaukee stuff kicks the pants off of Ryobi but it is also a lot more expensive.
The AEG sub compact cut off tool, for example, is also sold as an M12 tool, and under the Ryobi name. Most of the AEG sub compact stuff shows up elsewhere in the TTI range, if you know where to look.
My battery drill, for example, had identical specs to a Milwaukee drill.
We have Volkswagen and Skoda at our place and there are a lot of common parts under the skin. The towbar electrics module I added to the Skoda is badged Audi.
I wasn't talking about skoda/Audi/seat/Volkswagen because those are similar. I was using different examples to prove my point that not "all" things owned by same company is the same shit
Notice in my example they are all VAG brands but make completely different types of vehicles.
