All of my tools are Ryobi. I am not the greatest handyman, but I take care of

a lot of projects around the house and in the yard, and the Ryobi selection of tools hasn't disappointed me yet. As of right now, I have this set, plus most of their yard tools (lawnmower, trimmer, leaf blower, hedge trimmer, and snowblower). I also purchased a $20 bit set for the drills that has a good variety of bits in it. 

All of the yard tools I have are 40v except the hedge trimmer.  All have worked out well for me with no issues other than the trimmer line not coming out on its own from time to time (there is a simple manual way of pulling some more out). I may be inputting the line in it wrong as well. 

You sacrifice a little power in an electric mower compared to gas, but it still gets the job done with no issues for us on a .20 acre lot. The trimmer and leaf blower are great. We took out the hedges we had, so we haven't used the hedge trimmer in a while, but it worked well when I used it. 

The snowblower gets the job done for me as well. My standard was low because I have never owned one, but it takes care of my driveway and sidewalks just fine, and my back is never sore in the winter anymore. 🙂

I love that the only maintenance I have is making sure the mower is clean and that the blade is sharpened. Other than that, it's just charging the batteries. My tools stayed in our shed all winter, and all started up easily on their first use when I used them again this spring (last year was my first with the lawn/garden tools).
