I just cut through a 6x6 pressure treated beam with my Ryobi brushless circular saw. Didn't even bother to upgrade to a diablo blade. And it worked great!

I made six more similar cuts. No problem.

If I was doing this every day, would I upgrade to Milwaukee? Probably. (More than likely buy a corded saw.) But for weekend home improvement projects, don't doubt the power!

Got a great 5 pack and jigsaw, all brushless, for like $300 total at Home Depot during the memorial day sale. My first "tool kit". I'm hoping they hold up for a couple years!

I've got Ryobi stuff I've beat up for the better part of a decade. They are great tools overall! A couple stinkers too of course.
