| No way to say exactly how many cuts you can get, so much depends on the wood and condition of the blade. Dry studs or wet PT 2x4's. Isn't XRP still the NiCad batteries? Cordless tools as a rule are for a few cuts, small repairs or minor jobs,..... handyman type stuff. Yes, they will do most of the jobs of corded tools, just not as long or as fast, normally. I use my Ryobi stuff for almost everything, but I have 7 batteries and 2 chargers. If yer going to be building a deck or a shed, then corded tools are the way to go. What do you want to do with these tools, that might be a better question. You asked for opinions, right? __________________ Vic I'm no expert, but don't tell my wife that. |
