I saw a HD commercial on TV a couple of days ago where the guy was
swamping and interchanging attachments and IIRC batteries between
Ridgid and Ryobi. I suspect that Ryobi builds both.

I have not seen that commercial and I had no idea that any manufacturer's
batteries were interchangable, but I'm not surprised. Milwaukee, Ryobi,
Ridgid (and more...) are all manufactured by TTI for One World Technologies.
I'm pretty sure I have that right. It gets hard to stay abreast of who owns
who, who manufactures for who, etc, but I'm pretty sure that is current
information. So - it wouldn't surprise me if there isn't a new trend
beginning that allows for interchangeability.

Being manufactured by the same company implies no other similarities between
the tools though.
