Needed an extra sawz-all for a project & imo there's no other option than the original.
Been beating the hell out of these things for decades & found there only enemies to be gravity & they can't swim.
This is the top of the line super sawz-all w/ orbital action & red-link. After 3 weeks of use , trimming rafters & changing 1 sump pump, the quick change blade chuck had to be lubed & spun w/ vise grips to remove blade , all exposed metal is rusted & the motor seized, which sounded like a video game & destroyed a 5ah battery.
The disappointment continued when I contacted customer support & they answered Ryobi /Ridgid how can we help you?
So now the best tools ever made are going the route of DeWalt/ Black & Decker or Stanley & Craftsman, meaning the homeowners tool quality will improve but the professional settles for mediocre.
