Tool manufacturers are like car manufacturers. Some of the best companies still market low end stuff that's lower quality. Makita comes to mind. And Dewalt too. Craftsman definitely. Pay the money, and you get quality. Most of Ryobi stuff I have found to be in the low end category ... as are its prices. I can't say I've ever run into a piece of low end (or low priced) Rigid equipment. I'm pretty sure their stuff is all American made (South Carolina?).
Because most of my work is either in the shop or right outside the door, I don't bother with battery powered tools anymore. I had one Makita drill that seemed to quickly become obsolete so I gave up on that concept. My corded Crapsman 3/8 drill is 50+ years old and still kicking after a very hard life.
