Is the Ryobi one-handed pruning saw worth it?

For light yard work on branches up to about 3 inches, yes. It is cheap, cordless and shares batteries with other Ryobi 18V One+ tools. For larger limbs, a chainsaw or pole saw is the better tool.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes the saw, a 2 Ah 18V battery and a charger. Blades are typically included with the tool, but check the box contents for the exact blade count.

How big a branch can it cut?

Ryobi rates it for pruning branches up to about 3 inches in diameter. Expect slower cutting as you approach that limit, especially on hardwoods.

Does it use the same batteries as other Ryobi tools?

Yes. It runs on any Ryobi 18V One+ battery, so it works with the packs you already own. A larger pack gives longer runtime but adds weight.

The lowest daily price recorded since October 31, 2026 is $89.00, and that is the only price in that window. There is no cheaper recent point to wait for, so $89 is the going rate for the kit.

How does it compare to a full-size reciprocating saw?

It is smaller, lighter and designed for one-handed pruning, but it has less power and a shorter stroke. A full-size recip saw cuts faster but is awkward to use overhead in a tree.

Our take on the Ryobi 18V One+ One-Handed Pruning Reciprocating Saw Kit

The Ryobi 18V One+ One-Handed Pruning Reciprocating Saw is a compact cordless saw built for cutting branches up to about 3 inches, with a one-hand grip that lets you hold limbs with the other hand. The kit ships with a 2 Ah battery and charger, so it runs on the same 18V One+ batteries as the rest of Ryobi's lineup. Its price has held at $89.00 since October 31, 2026, so there is no cheaper day in its recent history to wait for.
