RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Compact Cut-Off Tool Review Model # PSBCS02B | Ridgid SubCompact ????

[@Pablo-oi1hv]

You should have the wheel spinning before you make contact. Thats why its hanging up

[@williamorellana7769]

Absolutely agree , He was just not using it properly because I have that tool and it’s awesome I let it spin first and I tell you you will be surprised about what that tool can actually do and also the power on that tool will also depend on how powerful is your battery , I used a adapter do put a Milwaukee battery on it and when you do that you can feel the power on that thing .

love this little tool! it's intended to be a support tool for the heavy primary tool that's doing most of the work so if you're at the top of a ladder and need to trim a notch off a piece vinyl siding than this is the tool but don't expect to make all your cuts with this tool.

[@charliehoss1614]

Indeed a support tool.. I cut off exhausts from vehicles and sometimes a sawzall is physically too big for the awkward spaces to get the tool and the blade length in small spaces around the frame of the vehicle.. with this smaller took you can cut through just enough to where the sawzall can’t physically fit to finish the cuts

How do you demand for a specific tool? I would like to see Roybi come out with a cordless variable orbital sander.

[@AngryOtter614]

I love mine. For when you need to cut a piece of trim or moulding, drywall or a screw or nail. It's made the cut off wheels on my rotary tools unnecessary and its much easier for me than using a angle grinder or circular saw for a simple task. To me its a great convenience tool, if you treat it as such, you will appreciate it.

[@SimoneLai1981]

Can you use it on timber? Like a fence paling etc? Like a smaller circular saw?

I bought the Ridgid sub compact cutting tool, mine also stops with the smaller batteries. Bought the larger batteries and no problems. I use the Ryobi and Avanti cutting wheels.

[@imcubanbe3841]

I LOVEEEE my 3-inch cut off saw. Good lord that thing is soooo useful. I used it to cut soooo many things such as: Drywall, Wood, Vinyl plank flooring (LVP), some metals, screws, some metals. This is an extremely versatile 3-inch monster.

[@risunokairu]

What about metals ? Do you use it on some metals?

[@philparrish6914]

Read the instructions. You must keep the trigger pressed when a fault occurs in order to see the flashing code. When you release the trigger the light stops coding.

[@baristagirl281]

Thank you for such a comprehensive review. We have one of these and love it. It's been a real workhorse. It is very dusty when used for drywall but for cutting other materials has been very handy, especially for cutting in where other larger tools don't quite fit. I wanted to see how it did on tile because I plan to use it for some backsplash tile. Thank you again!

[@metalslug_1143]

Nice small tile cutter. very handy for small DIY projects.

[@haroldbrown3452]

should you be using a 3.0 amp or larger battery for less issues?

[@kramregnu2945]

The metal guide left marks on my tile. Other than that it cut tile (on the wall) just great! Very dusty so I also bought the 4" wet/dry saw to combat dust.

[@23tracy91]

Used this for cutting through plaster. I love it.

[@ViperJoeB]

Great review. I see a few battery comments. Its hard to tell what type of battery you are using. I haven't been able to confirm 100 % but I believe you need a Lithium +HP battery in lieu of standard Lithium battery to get full electronic functionality from any One +HP compatible tool.

[@jeridells6497]

This is 100% ACCURATE

[@marsoelflaco5722]

Get the tool running/spinning first then start the cutting. That will prevent the "binding" he's experiencing. You'd think he'd know that.

[@Harveyb358]

Think it’s done on purpose? Seen that in many videos if the person is not a big fan of the brand. Especially Milwaukee vs Ryobi.

[@marsoelflaco5722]

@@Harveyb358 Possibly. Gives the appearance that the tool is problematic.

[@stevejones2782]

I used it to cut the plastic tube, it cut it well, but it stopped once which required removing blade and put it back after CLEANING. Also noticed that lock got lose & started making noises. Overall I like it.

[@brentdiez7012]

I cut metal studs with a m18 fuel circular saw with a Diablo metal blade. I was like cutting a 2x4 with a wood blade. I don't really see the advantage of this tool. Other tools do the job better.

[@ricardoiglesias8877]

I had the same issue with mine. I constantly thought I was overworking it and just pulled the battery out and it would work. Eventually it stopped working and I returned it.

[@robertarnold9815]

Haven't purchased/used one yet but seems like a good supplement to my corded angle grinder (ie an old and abused Harbor Freight AG I got for $10). Just a bit disappointed by the retail price (~$90), hope I find a discount somewhere since I'm not in a hurry.

[@ob1Katoby1]

Try a larger battery. The battery will overload and stop working which will not light the tools leds.

[@WorkshopAddict]

If that is true, the supposed better electronics are very poor. Not taking any frustration out on you. Its just that we are using the new HP batteries witht he HP tools. The lights should light no matter what.

[@warlock-designs-customizations]

@@WorkshopAddict I have over 100 Ryobi tools...The bigger the battery the better the tool operates. Does not matter what they say about what it is supposed to do...electronics wise. I think it is part of middle-of-the-price-range tools. Obviously, I could care less about that issue. I bought 90% of mine from pallet sales guys which puts me at about 33% of original retail price. I love them but they have there strengths and weaknesses. You are WAY more honest with your videos than I would be. I would have reshot that entire thing till the thing worked... Thanks for sharing!

[@warlock-designs-customizations]

BTW...For anyone wondering.... I have all types including the new HP Brushless...18v....40 volts....all behave that way...battery wise

[@btrswt35]

Not digging having to take the battery out to reset the overload. That alone would keep me from buying it. Lights flashing or not isn't all that necessary but the later could become a real PIA in a awkward way.

[@WorkshopAddict]

You are right, but if the manual says it does something, it would be nice for the tool to do it

[@dwarden3]

I have noticed that the flashy light function only works with their hp 4ah batteries.

[@ChrisHornberger]

Yeah, since it wasn't blinking, I thought I burned up a battery once or twice. Pulling the battery to reset is fine, but as you noted, a visual indicator (since, ya know, the docs say it should) would be awesome. Booooo. Otherwise, great little tool. I have overheated it once or twice, again, no blinking, and it took a minute or so to cool down. This tool makes you learn some finesse in cutting, that's for sure, but all around it's a good tool.

[@srairmand]

Don't make it look bad. It works fine if you use it right.

[@zachfox5969]

You're using the tool wrong, that's why it's stopping so often. Start the spin before you make contact. Your angle of approach is also important. Come more parallel to the cutting surface and move along it, as opposed to pushing down into it.

[@steveysimmons13579]

C'mon, man, you can't just be jumping around on a video and then offering advice. He was doing it on purpose to check the indicator lights.

[@zachfox5969]

@@steveysimmons13579 "C'mon man"- I own one. It would take a million years to cut with *mine* if I too used it incorrectly. My year or so with the tool has shown me *it's just like all other high speed cut off tools* in that you should start the wheel before contact.

i almost bought one today money wise had to go with a harbor freight chicago electric one way cheaper. but will get a ryoby one next time

[@phlexx1]

Yeah, it definitely will cut off no warning lights. You have to remove the battery reapply it it must drain. The battery I’m not sure if the cause of it is when it gets bog down. and I was cutting cardboard and it cut off . I don’t know what that’s about.

[@JhnnyBoy]

would this replace my Ryobi grinder? or is this more specific to when you get into tile work?

[@my2centz196]

Probably should had used a high performance battery however I don't see the point of this tool. I personally think the angle grinder will work just as well. I guess if you didn't already own the angle grinder but still I think the angle grinder is a much better deal. The disc's are easier to find and more choices. You can use flap disc's, brushes, and sanders along with the cut off wheels. I'm sure guide may make it easier for beginners to use but still.

[@pierregaudettte3736]

let the blade get to its max before cutting would help

[@gadgetmerc]

Ryobi batteries have "the smarts" in them. The BMS in the battery normally shuts down the tool when it gets hot or of the to demand more than it needs. For years that worked just fine because the battery was always the weak link. With the addition of the 9ah and 12ah packs the tool became the weak link. The battery was happy but the tool would melt. The new HP tools monitor themselves to handle the edge case of the battery being just fine but the tool can't handle the load. You used a small pack which made the battery the weak link.

[@brianroth5754]

Mine is smoking when spinning. What do you think this is? Defect? I should specify it's smoking while free spinning. Perhaps its the paint rubbing off the screw?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

This ryobi reminds me of the ridgid model you recent had on the channel

[@TurboDV8]

It is an HP brushless tool. Does this particular tool happy to additional electrical contact? Because I noticed you are using a non-hp battery which does not have the two additional contact. Maybe it requires the two additional contacts to communicate with the battery or whatever in order to Signal the LED indicators. Just a thought.

[@stanleymcman9422]

aa well once again looks like this one needs to go back to the drawing board. For now, will stick with my M12 as it also comes with the duster collector which a lot of people wonder why Ryobi did not have it. Well on to the next demo.

[@ProxyFinal]

Not trying to put you down, but the m12 is not perfect. Sometimes it cuts out more than usual or too soon. What makes the m12 superior to all is that included dust collector, but...I don't use it all the time. The ridgid cut off's downfall is the vibration and that flimsy guide. What people don't get is that this tool is pretty versatile, but it does have its limitation. I have to say that Ryobi and Milwaukee makes more sense than the Ridgid in terms of design.

[@stanleymcman9422]

@@ProxyFinal greed but since Ryobi only has a 3 yr warranty and Milwaukee has a 5 yr with local repair centers the choice is easy to make

[@ProxyFinal]

@@stanleymcman9422 yea, I would stick with the M12 as it appears that the Ryobi is not that any different than the Ridgid. Really didn't like the ridgid's vibration.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Possible, but why have an LED system for an HP tool used with the HP battery designed to work with it?

[@hanmaan]

@@WorkshopAddict It's possible the tool is cutting out because it can't pull the power out of the smaller battery, it might need more and hence why you're not seeing the lights go - its cutting out because it can't get the power, not because its getting overloaded. Kinda like how you put the bigger battery on the saw - you didn't do that here.

[@boots7859]

@@hanmaan Ryobi's and all cordless need the larger battery to pull the necessary current. If you are using a smaller 2AH battery then you are going to need to feather it more and allow it to keep speed up. Jamming it through the workpiece on a smaller battery is just going to have the battery electronics shut down, as you witnessed. I'm going to be getting one of these myself, and I expect to use my 4AH batts and still use for trim type work and not as a mini-circular saw replacement.
