For the average DIY person, Ryobi is fine. I don't think it would be my first choice, though, for cabinet making or furniture, but for hanging a door or general use around the house use, it's fine. Another brand to consider is GMC.

GMC Tools are marketed by a company in Australia and are now available in Lowes. I regularly visit some .AU woodworking forums. GMC had some rough times for a bit, but in the last year the quiality has turned around and they're getting a good reception. Besides, the price is excellent.

Home Depot has the lock on Ryobi's storefront sales. Rigid is also exclusive to Home Depot. GMC as far as I have seen is only sold at Lowes (including the website).
