djoser's pyramid has cedar beams that still support the roof of an inner chamber, truely massive, and at something like 4000 years old are past waranty, making the few that have failed free of liability concerns, but
less than 100 years later the eygyptians had shifted to all stone roofs for inner chambers in there built to last projects.
The techniques and tools were used for millenia prior to the construction of the pyramids, and have been in continious use and production from those times till now.
What are the price points though? Maybe I lucked into a sale, but when I was looking at drills, all the prices were similar. Maybe Bosch was the (expensive) outlier...
Are new ryobi batteries still compatible with all their old tools? I remember it used to be a big selling point that that they never changed their battery system.
What year? I got one like 5(?) years ago and it was lithium.
Definitely doesn't run as long as when it was new but does enough.
For those of you getting a lawn mower, don't get the cheapest one you can. A 13" wide blade is uh gunna take nearly double the passes a 20" wide blade will.
Buying a professional tool with tens of thousands of hours of potential runtime and 1000lb+ of torque is wasteful.
A Ryobi tool will realistically last for the many decades you need it for and do everything you ask of it.
Lower price points doesn't just mean something is junk. It can also be engineering efficiency.
