I haven't used this saw yet, but I like Ryobi tools. They are generally good quality, reliable, and definitely decent quality. I standardized on them long ago. This looks like a good unit, but only time will tell. The seller shipped very quickly, and it arrived very quickly. The seller said it was not in the original box, but he packed it very nicely in a similar box. It was advertised as a new unit, and it really is new. It was also available at a good price.
