Thank you for sharing. Greatly appreciate. I was hesitant to purchase one. Now that I have seen your comprehensive review of the RYOBI RRS 1801M 18V One+Reciprocating Saw. I will definitely purchase one.
Nice video. The audio's a bit spotty, but it looks like it's still early days for your channel, and the video's still better than 90% of the other videos I've watched on fledgling channels. :) Anyway, The original full tool/battery/charger kit Ryobi sold USED to come with a 2 Amp hour battery (That kits part number was "RRS1801-L20G"), But the more recent kits have a 4 amp hour battery in it instead (RRS1801-140GK). I'm guessing someone at Ryobi noticed everyone moaning about this tools power hungry nature. You mention you use clone batteries. I've used Ryobi tools on home DIY projects for years, and have a mix of genuine and clone batteries. Most of the clones tend to only put out about half the marked capacity, and only last about 2/3rd's of the life of a genuine one before they're bin fodder, so cost wise, if you look at it as cost per holes drilled or feet of boards cut, the price of genuine batteries isn't really that much above the clones. That said, if I were a contractor and sometimes drills would go missing from work sites, I'd rather lose a drill with a 20 quid clone battery in it than one with a 60 quid genuine one. Horses for courses I guess. The best thing about the clone batteries flooding the market though, is that it's forced Ryobi to lower the price of the genuine ones a little. As a little side note. The cheapest option to get some Ryobi tools with a battery is to register for their online promotions newsletter..... Then wait. Every once and a while they have a special offer where if you buy one of their 5 amp hour batteries for £99 (Though that price sometimes changes) you can chose a free tool to go with it. Surprisingly considering you're buying direct from Ryobi, the battery isn't as cheap as you'll find it elsewhere, but if you're getting the 60 to 80 quid tool you want thrown in for free, it's still 30 or 40 quid cheaper than the comparable kit.
Well I didn't know that about the promotion's. Yes the audio in some places is a little rough because the internal mic on the action cam isn't brilliant. I'm trying to locate the little usb external microphone for it. So it should improve matters. Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍👍
Like your video but oh my goodness. That shop bench is a mess! It found the 4AH batteries really make this tool. The 2AH batteries don’t have the chooch. Also. Yea. The factory blades are garbage. Throw them out.
@@realtimereviews8715 thanks... We had to watch a few TH-cams to finally see someone explain it. Not even Ryobi videos mention it. Otherwise the saw is a real beast and we are very happy with it.

I think it's a useful tool. 👍
You're a natural. I trust and value your opinion.
Thank you very much. :)
