Ryobi 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion 5-1/2" Cordless Circular Saw P503 (Bare tool only, battery and charger not included) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is no way you would buy this saw unless you already happened to have a Ryobi 18V One+ battery. It is just too lightweight and there are relatively few cases where a corded circular saw wouldn't be the proper choice in terms of power and price value.

Having said that, I already had the batteries and I've found this saw reasonably useful in cutting the occasional board while building a child's play area. I'd have preferred more power, but it is able to cut wood up to 1.5 inches--the smallest dimension of a "2x4"-- cleanly albeit slowly. The grip is comfortable and it was easy enough following a pencil line for cutting. The included blade is of good quality and the battery pack is conveniently located. Changing blades is a bit awkward, as it is difficult getting the blade tightened properly with the included Allen wrench. Adjusting depth of cut is simple: twist a single knob to loosen the base plate and make your adjustment using a convenient gauge, then tighten the knob.

I've found the Ryobi 18V One+ tools are of good quality and design, and would highly recommend the drills, impact drivers and even the reciprocating saw in the One+ collection, but there are limits to what a cordless tool can and should do and this circular saw is just on the line for marginal usefulness.
