Please help - Brand advice

Hi All

Just wondering what opinions were on the following brands (I know they're all the cheapest on the market and would not expect them to be near the Makita, DeWalt quality):

Ryobi
MacPhersons
SIP
Rexon
Titan

Thanks for your help!

i have a bosch 24v circ saw and hammer drill

i also have a dewalt 18v hammer drill jigsaw angle driver cut off tool [115mm angle grinder] and reciprical saw

i also have loads of ryobi 18v as my back up gear i rate it as diy light to medium trade it will tackle 90% percent of what the dewalt will

ryobi stuff is well designed well built very reliable well thought of you dont often hear people moan about ryobi
and the tools are around half the price

the only real downside is the batteries are only avalable as 1.5 1.7 and 2 ah capacity[one plus are 1.7 ah]
but for someone starting up in buisness or on a budget a great option with around 20 tools avalable to fit the battery

I have lots of SIP stuff but before its safe to use, I take it to bits and rebuild it.

Definetely the Ryobi over the other stuff and then Rexon SIP.

keep clear of the Titan brand, cheap chinese made for B&Q.
