There is no way you would buy this saw unless you already happened to have a Ryobi 18V One+ battery. It is just too lightweight and there are relatively few cases where a corded circular saw wouldn't be the proper choice in terms of power and price value.
Having said that, I already had the batteries and I've found this saw reasonably useful in cutting the occasional board while building a child's play area. I'd have preferred more power, but it is able to cut wood up to an inch thick cleanly albeit slowly. The grip is comfortable and it was easy enough following a pencil line for cutting. The included blade is of good quality and the battery pack is conveniently located. Changing blades is a bit awkward, and it's a bit hard getting it tightened properly with the included hex key wrench.
I've found the Ryobi 18V One+ tools are of good quality and design, and would highly recommend the drills, impact drivers and even the reciprocating saw in the One+ collection, but there are limits to what a cordless tool can and should do and this circular saw is just on the line for marginal usefulness.Get more detail about Ryobi 18V ONE+ Lithium-Ion 5-1/2" Cordless Circular Saw P503 (Bare tool only, battery and charger not included).
