Not true. It may well be junk now, but my ancient Ryobi AP10 planer is
still going strong. And I know a few other woodworkers who can say the
same.

Several weeks back when someone posted that HD had the TEK 4 system at
half price (plus free shipping) on their website I jumped on it. Went
straight to the shooting range with the ear muffs. They worked like a
charm. The flashlight is one of the brighter ones that I've owned, not to
mention how compact it is. The tin snips cut flashing with no problem.
Haven't tried the screw gun nor have I tried charging my cell phone with the
universal charger gizmo.
$53 and change. What can you lose?
