I have a Ryobi circular saw and the shield gets caught when cutting
thin material (.25 plywood).

Never been a fan of black & decker, but I like dewalt (go figure).
Never had a cordless drill. But my Dewalt AC drill is going on 10
years and I beat that thing like a red-headed stepchild.

The average use may need better tools in have a tenency to abuse them.
Not sure if how I broke the ryobi circular saw, but it isn't very
solid.
