I just cut through a 6x6 pressure treated beam with my Ryobi brushless circular saw. Didn't even bother to upgrade to a diablo blade. And it worked great!

I made six more similar cuts. No problem.

If I was doing this every day, would I upgrade to Milwaukee? Probably. (More than likely buy a corded saw.) But for weekend home improvement projects, don't doubt the power!

I don't hate Ryobi I just prefer other tools. Milwaukee 12v are amazing for lightweight battery tools. They punch above their weight in a small light package.

When it comes to anything else heavy duty I just prefer corded tools. I have a Ryobi corded hammer drill and it's great.

I had a Ryobi battery mower and it went back to the store the same day. I replaced it with EGO.

That's fair. I have heard some serious issues with their mowers.

not every company makes a perfect tool for every market. Ryobi has some good ones, I am sure the Milwaukee 18v is good too but once im at that level of power I just get a corded tool, it costs less and its more reliable plus the batters are not $300 each.

Tbf if you wait for a deal you can get Ryobi batteries for really cheap... During Ryobi Days I got 4 9ah batteries for like a hundred bucks.
