Is this saw worth it over a corded circular saw?

For cuts away from an outlet, yes. The kit includes a 4.0 Ah battery and charger, and the brushless motor handles 2x lumber and plywood. A corded saw costs less and never needs charging, but you are tied to an extension cord.

Does it cut through 2x4s in one pass?

Yes. The maximum depth of cut is 2-7/16 inches at 90 degrees, which clears a standard 2x4 with room to spare. At 45 degrees the depth drops, so check before beveling thick stock.

How long does the 4.0 Ah battery last?

Expect a few dozen crosscuts in 2x lumber or several sheets of plywood per charge, depending on the material and blade. Repeated long rips in hardwood will drain it faster, so a second battery helps.

Is it compatible with other Ryobi 18V batteries?

Yes. It runs on any Ryobi ONE+ 18V battery, including the 4.0 Ah pack in the kit. Larger packs add runtime but also weight.

The saw, a 7-1/4 in. blade, a 4.0 Ah 18V battery, a charger and a dust adaptor. A blade wrench is typically included for changes.

When is the best time to buy it?

Ryobi kits usually drop during spring and holiday sales and around Ryobi Days events. Outside those windows the price tends to hold near its normal level.

Our take on the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit with 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger

The Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit pairs a brushless saw with a 4.0 Ah battery and charger, so it is ready to cut out of the box. It spins at 4,300 RPM, bevels from 0 to 56 degrees, and cuts 2-7/16 inches deep at 90 degrees, which covers 2x lumber and most sheet goods. At about 10.9 lb with the battery it is heavier than many 6-1/2 in. cordless saws but lighter than most corded 7-1/4 in. models. It is a mid-range kit in Ryobi's ONE+ line, and its price sits in the normal band for a brushless saw plus a 4.0 Ah battery and charger rather than at a clearance low.
