Ryobi circular saw reviews wanted

prettyliving

Hey Workshop community, 

I’m looking at getting a circular saw for an upcoming reno, I’m leaning towards Ryobi as majority of our other tools are Ryobi.. does anyone have the 18V 165mm circular saw from Ryobi and are you happy with it? 
Thanks in advance, 

Jess

Hi Jess (@prettyliving),

I've got that saw and I find it does the job of light trimming very well. It is easy to manoeuvre, light and doesn't scare me like larger more powerful models can. If you are planning on cutting mainly plywood, trimming up to 19mm thick boards or cutting 45mm thick timber to a length I would higher recommend it. If you are considering ripping 45mm thick timber down the full length at speed I would stick to a plugin version or opt for the Ryobi one 18v Brushless Circular Saw Skin Only.

In saying that it is a great trim saw and suits it's purpose perfectly.

Please let me know if you need further advice or had questions.

Mitchell
