I have found that they're above the "economic" store brands such as Companion, Work Force, and Task Force, and are somewhat comparable to Black & Decker tools. Also, a minor correction... I believe that grinders in the two pack sell for $30 individually and the $40 one (pictured above) comes with a case and has a longer handle design.

I have gone through two Ryobi angle grinders and two Ryobi reciprocating saws. Neither stood up to what I would consider routine use. The $5 Harbor Freight grinder that we use at the shop with a knotted wire brush for knocking crust off of Triumph frames, has lasted longer than the Ryobi angle grinder I had! On a similar note, the Hitachi reciprocating saw I bought (specifically because of their 5year warantee) has also been very reliable and without issue now for over two years... greatly outlasting the life of both Ryobi saws combined.
