Pros

The tool is well made from high quality materials. The plastics used are high end glass reinforced stuff. Great bit of kit.

T-shank fitting makes it quick and easy to fit blades and there's plenty of choice in blade type and manufacturer. No allen key to change blade is why i give this product 5 stars, its simple and quick to change a blade and its motor seems fine.

Best of all the batteries. Only drawback is all ryobi batteries are very expensive,take ages to charge and die very quickly. Above is the ryobi, below is the *.



Cons

The vibration is terrible. Product arrives but cant be used. Totally mis-sold item.

Price


Love these ryobi tools, if somewhat expensive.


Expensive but i suppose you get what you pay for.


Overall this is a great tool for the money if you have already bought into the ryobi one+ battery system.

Shipping

    I have about 20 ryobibase units and 6 batteries means i’m only charging 6 batteries and not a whole host for each individual device

    Though not really on a professional level my drill ended up losing its centre but then it’s not a professional price

    Its a useful tool but i suspect i asked too much of it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Consthe backpressure spring on the blade doesnt provide enough pressure for many of the thinner blades by which i mean from cutting edge to back of blade which are the ones you want for cutting tighter curves
