its more about battery pack interoperability, but also yes they do! to me mikita is old school they sort of got in the cordless game first, dewalt is solid you can drop those things and no problem, ryobi is kicking it with one type of battery pack for tools lawn everything, and milwaukee... well, milwaukee... they're owned by the same company that owns ryobi but of course they're more american haha...

you can also buy branded coolers and shop radios as well to complete the loyalty...

I read recently, somewhere, I forget, that Ryobi lawn mowers were catching on fire. So back to the battery pack drawing board.

I read recently, somewhere, I forget, that Ryobi lawn mowers were catching on fire. So back to the battery pack drawing board.

The problem I have with Ryobi batteries is that if you don't keep them on the charger, a month or two of not using them seem to greatly decrease their power capacity. Annoying, perhaps one of those "design flaws" that's like "oh gee too bad we'll get around to fixing that real soon now, until then just keep buying new battery packs lol".

Looked up that recall:

Why Are These Ryobi Lawn Mowers Recalled?

The mowers are being recalled because of a faulty push-on connector on the inside of the powerhead that can overheat, posing a fire hazard. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s report on the recall, there have been 97 reports of mowers overheating while in use, five reports of fires and two minor burn injuries.
