New RYOBI ONE+ HP 7-1/4'' Circular Saw SHOULD NOT BE SOLD AT HOME DEPOT!

New RYOBI ONE+ HP 7-1/4'' Circular Saw SHOULD NOT BE SOLD AT HOME DEPOT! In this video we go over a new 7-1/4'' Circular saw from RYOBI that probably should not be sold at the Home Depot. This is the new RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless 7-1/4'' Circular Saw (PBLCS300B) that takes advantage of their High Performance batteries. Looking over this circular saw we found a lot of plastic parts and areas where it seemed that RYOBI cut corners to save weight or cheap out. Let us know your thoughts on this new RYOBI ONE+ HP 7-1/4'' Circular saw in the comments section below. Should this new circular saw be sold at the home depot or not?

Here's the trick. Ryobi is great for the price. As a pro I love them. But take the blade and toss it new out the box right into the trash can. Get a Diablo or dewalt something. And suddenly you have a very different saw that runs great. Just cut 12 8 ft stringers on two batteries worked like a charm.

I started with Ryobi tools then moved into Dewalt, Bosch and eventually Milwaukee. It's nice to see Ryobi stepping up their game. Brings back memories of me and my pops working in the garage. Wish I could turn back time and still have him for advice. Now I give my son all my Ryobi and let him built his own memories. Thanks for the vid Vince. Keep up the good work. Sure my son will pick this up. Like always hit the like button.

My current Ryobi lineup:

- Brushless impact driver
- Brushless reciprocating saw
- Brushless 7 1/4 circular saw
- Oscillating saw
- Brad nailer
- Flood flashlight (legit my fav Ryobi tool)
- Small flashlight
- Small “lunchbox” shop vac (leave it in my truck)
- Weed whacker
- Leaf blower
- 4 batteries

I just need the jigsaw to round it out. I suspect I’ve maybe spent $500 all in. If I had bought Milwaukee or DeWalt I’d be close to $1000 for sure. I’m not a contractor but I’m a heavy, heavy DIY user. I’ve dropped my impact from a 12 ft ladder with no issue. Use the recip as a chainsaw effectively without issue.

The only “trouble” I’ve had is with the smaller 5.5” circular saw: I ended up selling it to upgrade to the brushless one. It was OK for thin plywood, but pressure treated stuff bogged it down.

I don’t feel like my tools are half the quality of the “pro” stuff. If you took all color and branding off tools, I bet you 99% of people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between Ryobi and others. It’s like truck brands. I see Ryobi as the Honda Ridgeline - works for most, but doesn’t have the optics of a big F-250.

I own one since Christmas. Was not quite sure when I first opened it up but after using it I love it! It retired my old Dewalt.

I’m a general contractor and I was looking for a saw that was lighter than my Milwaukee worm drive for framing while on rafters and trusses and this one is great! Have actually been using this saw more since my Milwaukee saw just dumped out on me and is in the shop getting serviced. Definitely like this little saw I was impressed

“ Doesn’t feel like JUNK....?....” Best quote of the

I have one now. I skipped over the factory blade and went straight for a Diablo. I have power tools from just about any of the major brands you can list. The Ryobi cordless products have done very well for me. Other than batteries, I've managed to wear out only one 18v drill in the past 20+ years. I have corded tools should the need arise, but I find myself using cordless most often. I don't see any benefit from the LED, but I'm very happy with it otherwise.

[craigzilla]

Wait, why should it not be sold at home Depot?

[johnjames]

I’ve had this saw since it’s came out and it’s worked it’s work load for me. I’ve built, gutted and remodeled and just basic diy and this thing has done it all. Save yourself the bread and get this saw.

[garyharman]

It's a great saw, bought a house that was fire damaged. Cut out subflooring, cut new t&g subflooring, 12 new 2×10 joists lots of 2×4 for all new wall studs, cut concrete tile board, you name it I cut it. Still going strong. I allso got 6 amp batteries for cutting most of the time all day long. You can't on wrong with this saw

[blueridgerennsport]

I had an older version, before this one with the brushless motor. I used it a handful of times for 1 or 2 days, cutting a couple of 2x4s and some 1/2 inch polystyrene insulation panels. On the second day it came to a shrieking halt in the middle of a cut when the bearings suddenly gave out. It was part of a Father's Day gift pack I bought a few years prior but had never used, so there was no returning it or warranty claim to be made. I still have it in a box somewhere, disassembled. While I have had zero problems with any of my Ryobi One+ drills or impact drivers or impact gun (which all get used on a daily basis and have lasted 8 years and 6 years), I was really disappointed with the saw crapping out like that, on the second day of light-duty use.

Getting one this Spring! Once I put a 40 tooth Diablo blade on it, it will handle everything I throw it’s way.

I’m happy with the “old” Ryobi brushless 7 1/4” circ saw. IF I felt the need for an upgrade, I’d look towards Milwaukee or Makita.

[untermench]

I've had one of their brushless circular saws for over a year. I have had no problem with it. It has a little less torque than the corded model, but the lack of cord make it much handier, especially for remote jobs, like cutting firewood when camping. I recommend changing the blade to a Diablo 40 tooth. The battery lasts much longer since it is more efficient in power usage.

[nathanrocks]

I've found that all of ryobi tools can keep up with DeWalt, milwaukee, etc. They can handle all of the rigors of metal roofing, framing, and constructing and haven't let me down yet.

[lawrencefieselman]

I have had a 5 1/2" Ryobi circular saw for at least 12 years (the old color scheme) and it still keeps going. I have corded Skilsaw, also, but for most of DIY projects I use the Ryobi because of its convenience. My brother-in-law has the same saw for about the same length of time and he agrees with me that it's a great tool. By the way, I love the new color system as do you. Keep up the good work. Your videos are very informative.

I just bought this saw arrived yesterday, bought mostly for obviously uses needing no cord to take to store and cut down lumber to fit in SUV. Played with some not much but I like what I see so far and happy to hear this guy likes it.

[rh]

I bought the old 7 1/4 the first week it came out. Been thru alot of wood and some masonry and its still trucking. I usually upgrade as soon as ryobi releases something new but I will probably wait until this one dies

[agacguymaintenance]

Just finished tiling my house with the 4 inch ryobi tile saw did the job on one single blade that comes in the box. I loved it . I didn't need a stupid table saw . Cuz it's like use a circular saw. 👍

[baine.]

I still love my 30 pound skilsaw 77 I've had since the 90s, just replaced the cord, an oil, an brushes just because an it's like new .But with that said your reviews are always on point.
