! It Looks like an Update to the ones that come in the kit with other tools. However, With Mine the Blade and the Shoe were not at a propper 90Degree and thus it would cut bent and Bind up Regularly even cutting thin plyboard. It was Assembled incorrectly at the Factory and not worth the time and effort to return to Home Depot. So Buyer Beware. I'm Not Knocking the Ryobi Brand but again Buyer Beware, It might not be useful when u decide to finally use the tools and may have to return it. If that's worth the time, Gas and effort to return a "Cheap" Tool?? You decide. Some other tools from the kit work Ok for what they are.
Great point!! It’s always a great idea to test the tool for accuracy no matter what brand. Most times people assume it’s “accurate” but that might not be the case. I know with a table saw and sliding miter I’ve always told people to make sure it’s accurate. You’re only as accurate as your cut!! Thanks for sharing that tip. 😊Dan
Thanks for the review. I am a fan of Ryobi tools, but have not liked their circular saws. I have two of the blue circular saws from years ago, and a newer brushless one. They don’t seem to generate enough power to cut through plywood for more than a foot or so without stopping. It’s one of the few tools I’ve gone back to corded.
Thanks 😊.You should try a Ridgid Circular saw (I have a review on my channel). Loads of power and built very well!! Don’t get me wrong, there is a tool for everyone’s budget and task they do. But sometimes you just need extra power depending on your needs. I always say, get out in your shop and have fun no matter what tools you have. Using a corded saw definitely changes your power level. My Dad always said it’s nice to have both depending on the project you’re doing. Hope that helps.🙂Dan
Awesome review bud
Thanks!! 😊 Dan

@@ShopTalkWithDanTheMan mine would barely cut a 1x4 without burning the wood. I'm gonna try a diablo blade and a bigger battery.
wish I could find a 6 inch blade to fit mine. The 5 1/2 inch just barely cuts through a two by.
Yes that would be nice. Had you’d know, you’d probably have opted for a 7 1/4 saw. More power and bigger cutting depth. 😊Dan
A 6 inch blade will not fit
