One of my daughters drank the battery yard tool Koolaid. She’s got a mower, weedwhacker and pole saw and really likes the battery convience shared among the tools. I don’t recall the name brand. Her husband is a Ryobi shop tool guy. He knows his stuff so I’m sure it’s a good choice.

Ryobi is still low end but have improved a lot over the years. I used a bunch of them now and then when working with clients who owned them. I don't begrudge anyone wanting to go for economy with them as they are adequate. Most carpenters are tool snobs however. Not completely irrational, there is something a bit higher quality about Makita.
I've known guys who swore by Hilti cordless, others by Milwaukee. Both pretty good IMO.
Lately my drill bits are Ryobi. Good quality for price.
