18V Circular Saw: Ryobi Tools Set the Standard

If Ryobi doesn't make it, you don't need it. Ryobi has one of the most comprehensive lines of power tools, outdoor tools and set of cordless work horses in the industry. Ryobi has long been the leading choice for every day hobbyist, homeowners, and professional contractors alike. The reputation of Ryobi tools is one of value: great quality and an affordable price.

18V Circular Saw

The Short List That's Long on Performance

18V Circular Saw

Here just a sampling of what Ryobi has to offer:

Drills, Drivers, Band Saws, Circular Saws, Jig Saws, Scroll Saws, Mitre Saws, Table Saws, Reciprocating Saws, Routers, Sanders, Biscuit Joiners, Grinders, and Buffers. And that is just the tools that come with cords attached.

Ryobi also has a complete line of cordless drills and drivers that make any job easier and faster. Combination kits contain such items as an 18V drill, circular saw and light. Then for the super serious lover of cordless, there is the workshop in a box including a circular saw, reciprocating saw, hand vac, flashlight, and multi-bit cordless drill.

Not only does Ryobi have every tool imaginable, but several versions of the old standbys. Options are designed to meet the needs of weekend warriors and true craftsmen alike.

Outdoor Projects Get A Boost

Many outdoor projects such as caring for lawns and gardens don't always require power tools, but are sure made easier when you do use them. Ryobi's line of outdoor tools includes trimmers, log splitters, chainsaws, blowers, cultivators, and pressure washers ideal for cleaning vinyl siding or preparing wood services for painting. The pole pruner is a must for anyone who doesn't want to have to climb a ladder just the trim ornamental trees. The pole pruner can cut limbs 12 feet up. It's like having a lightweight chainsaw on a pole!

Ryobi blowers make cleaning leaves and other debris a much easier task. There is a handheld blower and backpack version for bigger jobs. Each converts to a vacuum without any tools.

Ryobi's electric log splitter provides 1,300 watts of household current to pack 4 tons of RAM for splitting. The all steel construction comes with a 2 year warranty. It can split logs up to 20" long and 12" around.

Where to Get Ryobi Parts

Chances are you are going to love your Ryobi tools so much you won't want to replace them. On occasion you may need to replace filters or other parts to keep these tools going for another generation. To order parts easily, Ryobi has a toll-free number. Depending on where you live, the Ryobi service line will direct your request to the appropriate distributor. By calling one number, you can get parts for a drill or genuine Ryobi trimmer parts.

In addition, at Ryobi's website you can request copies of all tool manuals. It is also important to register each Ryobi product when you purchase it so that you can easily order parts or get warranty information. It's worth the small investment in time to protect your top of the line Ryobi tools.
