- Does the PCL510B come with a battery?
- No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Ryobi One+ 18V battery and charger, or an existing One+ kit.
- What can it cut?
- It handles branches, PVC pipe, drywall and light lumber well. Thick hardwood and metal are slow going because of the short stroke and single speed.
- Is it variable speed?
- No. It runs at a fixed 3,000 strokes per minute with an on/off trigger, so control comes from how you feed the blade.
- How does it compare with Ryobi's brushless reciprocating saw?
- The brushless model has more power and longer runtime. The PCL510B is lighter and simpler, which suits one-handed and light-duty work.
- Does it accept standard reciprocating saw blades?
- Yes. It uses standard reciprocating saw blades with a tool-free change, so any brand's blades fit.
- Can it be used for pruning?
- Yes. A wood or pruning blade makes it a practical one-handed branch cutter, though thick limbs may need a larger saw.
- Where is the Ryobi One+ PCL510B 18V One-Handed Reciprocating Saw cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $49.97, as of our latest check.
