My Ryobi set is 2 years old. The batteries (and everything else) are good
as new. You are right about the circular saw being too small, but otherwise
I love them.
I haven't found a situation where they weren't powerful enough.


Have the Ryobi 14.4 drill/saw combo, and the 9.6 drill/radio combo. Happy with
them both.

My Ryobi weedwhacker is going on 7 years and still doing it's thing in a long
growing season (9 months/year).

I realize they are not the best, but my own experience has been good value for
the money.
