Ryobi is good. Not excellent. But good. Their strength is decent gear and VERY broad range of tools (240+)$239 is not bad for a 12AH pack.
It's $10 less than competitors. Granted I really wouldn't be spending that kind of money on ryobi stuff.
I'll cry when I have to replace batteries for my work tools. 7- M18 Milwaukee batteries. And the youngest are 4 years old right now.Pricing is getting ridiculous for new products.
I saw Ryobi recently released a 12AH 18V battery. $239.
Wait, what is this? A multi size bundle? Why yes. yes it is. For $10 more I can get the 12AH battery AND two 4AH batteries. WTF?!?!?
4ah batteries are $100 ea or two for $80.

Anyone serious about using cordless don't mess with 4's. That's why they throw them in a bundle.At this rate, I'll just buy the bundle and sell the 4's to claw back some cash.
Yep, that’s the one. I’m on my second one now after getting at least 30 years out of the first, and the original is probably repairable. I’ve had the new one for about three, maybe four years now, and the cool thing is, I can’t really find much difference between it and the ancient one, and it feels just as smooth upon trigger pull as the old one. The only noticeable differences are, the new one didn’t come with a rip guide, and it’s not beat up like the old one.The saw you will most often on any of those home improvement shows will be the Makita circular saw.
I have had this one for decades and it has seen much more use than a typical homeowner. I have replaced the cord once and that is it.

Amazon has resellers, nor Amazon direct, that specialize in selling items hard to get or discontinued for those that will pay at several times the typical price of an item. It must work as they continue to do it…You have to remember the pricing is adjusted to accommodate the 'free' shipping
