So Ryobi, Rigid, and Milwaukee are all made by TTI, and generally the differences are in design and availability of specialized tools and attachments. If you are just weekend warroring things any of those is likely fine unless you need/want specific tools. The batteries though are generally the same internally (usually a set of 18650 Li-ion cells).
I mean as a few examples, the installer for our kitchen cabinets used all rigid tools with no issues, Aging Wheels on YouTube uses Ryobi again with no problems, and Farm Craft typically uses DeWalt but with a few Milwaukee.
I use Milwaukee M18 tools mostly, though would like to get some M12 for the smaller sizes. All told though it’s much more worthwhile to look for a system you can afford, and go for higher quality in that brand (like brushless mothers over brushed). Don’t get so caught up on if it’s “a pro tool” since they’re all pretty much from the same factories.
