I was going to buy the 24V Greenworks kit at Costco for $99 but I was a little hesitant about buying a brand that I never heard of. Supposedly they are a Chinese copy cat version of Makita and they have very good reviews. I almost returned the Ryobi kit and bought the Greenworks kit but I stuck with the Ryobi's. If I was using them for work every day I would have gone with the Makita kit. They are much more user friendly. You don't realize it until you are using both on a job at the same time.
I hung some kitchen cabinets by myself a few weeks ago and I'm not as strong as I use to be. I found it much easier to do with the Makita than the Ryobi. I had to hold the cabinet up with one hand and screw it in with the other. The Ryobi is bigger and heavier. It was very difficult to use on the tight space of the smaller 12" wide cabinet.
