RYOBI PSBCS01 One+ HP Brushless Circular Saw Review

For a small cordless saw, this thing really rips. The @RYOBITOOLSUSA PSBCS01 HP saw delivers on performance and even features. For less than $120, this may keep up with some of the leading 6-1/2" performers. With the HP designation, then we know that we get a Brushless motor powered by the One+ 18V battery. Blade speed churns just below 5K at 4,900 RPM, and you get up to a 50-degree bevel. This saw definitely likes to kick up the dust, as with most circ saws, but a good dust extractor removes most of the particulate. You can get the RYOBI PSBCS01 6-1/2" Circular saw for just $119 from the Home Depot starting in September. #ryobitools #homedepot #shoplife

The fact it doesn't like to start when pressed against wood is kind of nice. Because for those who are working fast and accidentally start with the blade against lumber (ME) the blade won't rip a chunk of wood like most saws would on a weird start. Like grabbing a corner and tearing out a nice splinter piece instead of having the clean cut when starting with full speed.

Because of your review... I recently purchased this saw. Just waiting on a better higher tooth count blade to come in before use. Thumbs Up !!

[berserkforeal]

I feel like Ryobi really took their fans opinions on this one. This is an excellent looking tools and it sounds, from the review, that it performs. I will gladly be picking this up the next time im at THD, thanks for the review!

I got one and have been very happy for breaking down plywood. Prob all I'll use it for

[CrazyGlasses]

Another great video. I appreciate the work you do making the videos.

Outstanding and very informative video. The instructions that come with these power tools are ridiculous at best. Thank You!

I've watched this and more than a few others on your channel. I've had since had the opportunity to use this saw, along with the DeWalt brushless 6 1/2". And, I have to say, while the DeWalt is truly exceptional, feels great, excellent line... well, being left-blade(trim-saw), they both have an excellent line of sight. Id rather use either one of these saws with a straight edge, instead of a dedicated track saw, most of the time. For bigger jobs, thicker material and whatnot, I'm still grag my rear handle 7 1/4", but again it's left-blade also. Framers, and Trim guys prefer left blade. It just more natural and far less stressful on the jobsite, it keeps your posture better while you're working. Before I started rambling, I wanted to say that this new RYOBI 6-1/2" is quite impressive. If you're small time and just getting started, and you're on this platform, get this saw, and use it for a couple 2 maybe even 3years, and trade up as you level up and grow. Maybe RYOBI will have 'stacked- lithium batteries' like all the bigboy tool manufacturers. 😎🤓🤠
You can make money with a lot of RYOBI tools. It's the person behind the tool guys more than the tool. Is RYOBI equal to the top contractor brands, in some things, Yes. But DIY is their primary target.

I have an 8yr old brushed version of this saw. Before I acquired the 4ah hp batts, it was a gutless turd, but it's become usable with the bigger batteries. I got it in an old packout kit from HOME DEPOT when I went there to pick up DeWalt 5 tool bundle that I'd seen an add for. The Ryobi pack had at least 3 more tools in it than the DeWalt set, and it was still cheaper.
The Ryobi you're demonstrating here, has large set of hairy-galdies compared to it's old brushed cuz'n.

[GlenGlenervo]

seems like its a lot better than the 7 1/4 HP from ryobi. They must be listening to feedback.

[sklise]

another great review. looks like a good home use

[scottbionicnerf]

I can see if I was to purchase this saw, like most circular saws the blade guard gets stuck on your material. Every Makita I've ever had, or ever used has done that. Like Makitas, I've had 10 or 12 of them, but every dang one of them had that issue. I made a blade guard mod, with a short bolt, an all-metal locking nut(not the nylon insert kind!)and washer mounted near the edge of the guard so as to kick the guard up a little earlier. Totally fixed the issue and made it a dream to use.

Good detailed video. Keep up the good work

[jonkvh]

Looks great I am going to buy it I do not need the big 7 1/4 its for home use and maybe a project here an there and I love the HP I wanted a blade left saw. Seems like its perfect for me.

[paulnavarro]

Just got mine from Home Depot. They have a sale now where you get 2 High Performance (2AH) batteries with the circular saw for a total of $119.

[jimmtech]

I have a lot of ryobi and I've noticed that in the bottom where you slide the batteries in there are a number of extremely sharp edges and sharp points not a big deal if you're aware of it but if you have a ryobi check and see how sharp those edges are down there.

[OregonMotorcycle]

I burnt up my 5-1/4” one plus. I just picked this one up. Way better. Love the table, cuts accurate, and feels great. The only complaint is the guard, it feels weak, but overall really impressive.

[ZupE]

what shopvac would you recommend for a circular saw like this for light use

[jimmtech]

No red laser for line of sight cutting?

[FlyinTrapezious]

Great review Tim! AS ALWAYS! Quick question : If you put it up against the comparable Milwaukee is it apples to apples? I was going to buy the Milwaukee but after seeing thisI have reservations about going with the Milwaukee.

[stefanformgren]

I see 2 vids now that say turn right to loose teh blade, but then both have turn the handle/bolt LEFT to loose it ?
whats up with that ? :)
