[@livingcreatively1]

Thank you for this video. I'm a DIYer andI have such a hard time putting my money in to something to have it not perform the way I wanted. It's great to see this in action compared to a written internet review.

[@ToolReviewZone]

I still use this saw a lot. Good buy for sure

[@chrismayhew3954]

Thank you for this! I got this home saw the large book of complicated instructions tossed it aside and found this video. I just finished 22 corner pieces for my new base molding. If I hadn't found your video I would still be reading the instructions and my saw would still be in the box. Can't wait until tomorrow to install all of the moulding and move on to my laminate floors. I needed the box unpacking part too that made me feel like I hadn't missed anything. Thanks again!

[@ToolReviewZone]

What an awesome comment! Replies like this is the reason I do these videos, and love knowing that they helped in some way. Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@tracymcreations]

I did the exact same thing 😅

[@ManCaverTools]

I’ll be watching all of your Ryobi videos sir. I loved watching this one

[@johndoe3582]

Bought this a week ago. Very happy with it

[@jayc3110]

A very fine in depth review. You described the saw very well. All the features AND the saw in action... Excellent camera angles to show the saw from various sides in very sharp crisp images (You have a great camera).. Overall an exceptional worthwhile review. - Thanks.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Wow, thanks so much for the awesome comment Jay. It is very much appreciated!

[@petercsurkay6670]

Just bought the TSS702 to replace a heavy Ridgid 10" slider, have used several Mitre saws in past wanted something smaller--so far works great, 7 1/4" blades are cheaper too-if your cutting wide or long pieces, secure the saw to a bench or portable work table or Mitre stand bcus it's so light it can be top heavy while cutting, otherwise perfect for laminate flooring with a good blade and general trim, mouldings, etc. Best thing is it's Lightweight cuts 2x10" which if u cut wider then that you'll have to use a 10" saw

[@waynepeters4611]

Picked up this exact saw on market place after checking out your review,everything you mentioned was exactly what I would have said,great little daw all round

[@user-autogentroll]

The LED light is meant to replace the Laser light, if you notice when you go down to cut the LED light creates a shadow to the saw on the wood, that shadow is the exact place and width of the saw. Makes cutting to your line exact

I am glad someone said something.

[@0231sj]

This is one of the best review videos I’ve ever seen! Truly exceptional 😃👍🏻👍🏻. (Tiny nitpick: “unloosen” = tighten. I found that distracting when the rest of the video was so perfect. Sorry, just can’t help myself sometimes 😬😜🤓)

[@ToolReviewZone]

Lol, all good 0231. Thanks for the awesome comment buddy!

[@ATXTube]

I'm getting this in two weeks. Thanks for this video

[@ToolReviewZone]

You got it

[@josephleonardo4411]

You are correct this is not an everyday saw but for those of you who do this work for a living like myself it is the perfect saw for those days when you have have to case out a door and you don't feel like dragging out the 12" I think I am going to give it a try

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hey Joseph, your absolutely right. I have a 10" Milwaukee Fuel and a 12" RIDGID and almost always grab this because it's so light and easy to move around. Really happy with this

[@josephleonardo4411]

Tool Review Zone after watching your video I just went and bought one gonna use it on the job tomorrow

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesome man, let me know what you think @

[@josephleonardo4411]

Tool Review Zone I most definitely will

[@blackgazex5873]

Joseph Leonardo for 110 bucks you sure can't go wrong. I got mine a few weeks ago and it was perfect for large crown and base moulding and my new hardwood. I upgraded the blade to a finer tooth for that though

[@MichaelCampbell01]

Was looking at the 10", but honestly my need for that size cut is minimal. I'll be giving this one another serious look. Thanks for the vid.

[@ToolReviewZone]

No problem Michael, and thanks for the comment!

[@chrisscullynz]

You two have docked for sure

[@w0rm_legzz]

Great review. I just bought this saw as a beginner, DYIer. Your review helped my decision!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thats awesome cristinalcherry! Thanks for letting me know!!!

[@popwarhomie]

Still happy with your purchase? I rarely need a miter saw so i'm thinking about buying this cheap Ryobi. Thanks.

[@tomoaktree4951]

Very good unbiased review. Sure there are better saws, but you definitely cannot beat the price and the ease or portability.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks Tom! Yeah I really like this for the price buddy

[@DarkLinkAD]

Black and Decker, half the price.

[@richmac918]

Thanks for the review. One thing I wish you had checked was to see how accurate it was at different angle stops and bevels. That's what really makes or breaks a miter saw - accuracy. Being off a couple degrees when doing moldings makes for a really shitty looking job.

[@joelbaez9771]

Just got mine today. Hope it works well

[@ToolReviewZone]

Great little saw. I use mine a lot

[@BLAZEPSI]

Thanks for sharing.... How's the dust collection so far? Im thinking this or the kobalt. Thanks..

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hi blaze. It's ok but definitely not perfect. That being said I have been using this a lot lately and still really enjoy it, especially because of how light it is

[@FatherLizard]

Hey man. Thought I would chime in as I had recently went through the same purchase decision as you. In my case I bought the Kobalt and within a week brought it back and got the Ryobi. The Kobalt miter feels very cheap in comparison and the stops are not accurate at all. So far none of those issue with the Ryobi. Hope that helps.

[@BLAZEPSI]

@@FatherLizard thanks for the share Man... Will consider Ryobi.

[@billjensen9076]

This is the saw I'm getting as soon as hopefully Tomorrow I'm a beginner wood working fool lol. I cant wait this is going to be my first miter

[@ToolReviewZone]

I just changed out the original blade with a 48 tooth diablo blade. It cuts like a professional saw now

[@johnjkizer6399]

Great review, you just about covered everything, peace and God Bless

[@brittanyparks8977]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm DIY chick through and though and I'm always building. From furniture to your little woodworking projects. I have been so indecisive on what size, sliding or not and what saw to get (I'm a fan of Ryobi #ryobination). This video sealed the deal for me man! I'm going to finally go pick it up today hopefully. The best thing about this size is blade replacements aren't as expensive as well. Winning!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hi Brittany! I actually have been using this saw over my more expensive larger saws. So ligh and powerful, youll love it. Thanks for the awesome comment!

[@boxploy]

Great , honest , detailed review

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks car!

[@merleafies]

Super informative helped ALOT!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesome, thanks for the comment Curls

[@ryanwilson5936]

Great review! I live in an apartment and this looks like it would be great for 1x projects like shelves, nightstands, desks, and tv stands. It’s pretty much everything I’ve been looking for in a smaller affordable unit.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks for the comment Ryan. Yeah it's a cool little saw buddy

[@ligngood3787]

Nice video! But no mention or demo of the crosscut capacity! I may return my Kobalt 7 1/4 and buy this one because this Ryobi does a 2x10 versus 2x8 for the Kobalt.

[@dgale1023]

What board size is the thickest it will cut? Oll be doing 2x4 not moulding necessarily. Nice bid btw

[@justincarter9622]

Hey there. So does Ridgid make a 7-1/4 sliding miter saw? Preferably cordless!! Do you have a review on the DeWalt 7-1/4” sliding miter saw?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hey Mr. Carter. Ridgid did have an 18v cordless miter, but it's now discontinued. You can still find a few on ebay though. I haven't tried the Dewalt 7 1/4 yet buddy

[@randymurray934]

how come @9:47 the yellow part looked perfect but @9:48 it looks like the blade hacked it apart a bit?

[@SteS]

9:14 perhaps. Didn't sound great.

[@urtypicalguy]

Great vid! I'm new at this and will be purchasing my first miter saw. Do you recommend the 9 amp with laser or this one w no laser but with led?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hey urtypic, honestly I never used the laser, and many others don't either. I personally would go without

[@mudacoughlin3104]

Very good video, thanks.

[@electropentatonic]

What are the advantages of a smaller diameter blade on a slider vs a larger diameter fixed blade? I'm on the fence between this model (7.25 slider) and the 10 or 12" fixed

[@fredericklauer5655]

7 1/4 is a cleaner cut than a 10 or 12 due to the deflection of the blades on the larger saws. Really depends on what your using the saws for.

[@electropentatonic]

@@fredericklauer5655 Thank you. I ended up with a 10" fixed Hitachi, the price was good for a beginner like myself. It's been really nice

[@lrojas26]

Have this model. Recently after cutting, I notice the blade doesn't stop spinning as fast as it used to. Read it could be the electric brakes. Could replacing the brushes help with this or do I replace the switch?

[@ManCaverTools]

awesome video

[@rphantman8224]

Saw shopper here. Nice little saw but the dust collection throat doesn't ride up and down with the blade like other saws I've been looking at. I don't see how that can be a very good design. At 5:28 you mentioned checking out the dust system but I must have missed it somehow. To be fair, I've never seen a bag system work very well on any saw. Will this saw collect sawdust ok even with a shop vac hooked to it? Thanks for the review btw :-)

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hi Phantman, it does a lot better that some of the other designs that they had. I do agree that I never had a saw that had a great system, but it does an ok job with a vac attached

[@leonnobles545]

Very nice 👌.

[@uriel915tx]

How do you think it would do with some 4x4 post? I’m not going to be cutting them all day but plan on doing a deck and maybe a enclosed chicken run.

[@ToolReviewZone]

I used this on treated 4x4s. I've also been using this saw a lot lately, and definitely has good power. If you were cutting them every day like you said, I would definitely go with something bigger and better, but for simple DIY projects, yeah it's a cool saw

[@DerGrafRocks]

Will this do 45⁰ cuts on 7¼ inch baseboards?

[@rypaz87]

yep, it slides to roughly 10". I think I get like 9.875" or slightly more out of it.

[@se7encureton]

Hella good review man subbed good shit I am going to be grabbing one up. Some of my shit was stolen & am putting floors in my place. Thanks dude.

[@framing2finish]

I'd love to see this saw In the one plus cordless platform. Would be great for little grab and go jobs!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah would definitely be cool

[@evanillasky]

Total newbie here... so what happens if u try to cut 4x4 wood.. it wont cut straight through?

[@diytacoma5758]

So it can do 4x4's also i seen ryobi with laser guides does this one come with one?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hey Ronald, this one does not come with a laser

[@liztaylor2711]

How much of a kerf would I have to compensate for when trying to cut to specific lengths

[@alexgarcia3900]

Hey man I got a 12 dewalt saw and that thing is so damn heavy! I hate caring it around and it's a hassle to get In the back of the cab when i don't wanna leave it in the bed. How has the ryobi it held up? I want to find a decent 7 1/4 miter saw and this is the only one available at the one home depot on the island lol.

[@dan4345]

U forgot to mention the dust bag. Mine was missing when I bought it. Home Depot only charged me $50. since it was missing. Wanted to see if it was worth buying a replacement bag!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Wait, they charged you $50 for a bag???. Ryobi would have sent you one for free if they forgot to put it in. That said, does not work well enough to pay $50 for it

[@BrandonTovarGarcia]

Maybe he meant they only charged him 50 for the entire saw because the bag was missing

[@stringsnare]

Would this be able cut a 4 x4 nominal? Or its too deep?

[@AnthonyChhan]

4x4s are usually 3.5 inches in reality. I would say that it will cut close, but you may just have to cut it a side at a time to successfully cut it. I would step up to a 10 inch to really get a for sure cut straight across through one cut.

[@se7encureton]

“I’m a guy I don’t usually use those” I fucking love it man. Subbed for that alone. Is it still a good tool for you? I’m in the market and I’m a Ryobi fan.

[@Itsreekoh]

You’re the man

[@jakthenyf]

What does "Un-Loosen" mean? Tighten? Nice saw and decent video... Thanks.

[@cmrsxxcmrs]

Will it struggle with 2x8 whitewood?

[@Jeekinz]

I'm pretty sure the light is to line up the blade to your cut mark, not to work,in low light.

[@ycdouble1]

Well said, Sir!

[@Fishingwithdave2024]

How well does it hold in miters that don't have a positive stop? I currently am using one that you can't ur any other angle as it won't hold its spot.

[@alexibarra8230]

My locking pin is a tad different....maybe they fixed the problem?

[@berali2664]

Good video thank

[@scottrogers2831]

You mean “loosen” not “unloosen.” Thanks for this video.

That's my Pittsburgh 'eessss coming through

[@scottrogers2831]

Thanks for not getting offended. Come to think of it, I think I say unloosen too.

[@ToolReviewZone]

@@scottrogers2831 I dont get offended bro, thought it was kinda funny

[@travishernandez2193]

How accurate are the cuts

[@ToolReviewZone]

The cuts are right on Travis. The only thing I really don't like about this is the damn lock pin, but everything else works nicely

[@travishernandez2193]

Tool Review Zone thanks I’m gonna pick one up today

[@ToolReviewZone]

Any time buddy. Let me know how you like it

[@caperguy1567]

I have had this saw over a year now. Don't have the sliding issue and never has the pin lock move ever unless i locked it. I will say however the clamp for wood is kinda useless on the right side as the saw hits it when you slide back not allowing a complete cut in some positions. Still like the saw though.

[@kunolato8923]

How long can cut

[@SuperSaraSized]

I bought a ryobi miter saw from the facebook market place. Its the Dark blue one so I'm assuming its an older one. I just tried to use it, and the button you use to make the saw turn would not push all the way down. It kinda felt like maybe a safety switch was on or something. I never found a safety switch though. Any tips? The guard has been removed. Would that cause the saw not to work?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hi Sara, I have not used the older models, but the guard would not have anything to do with it. Usually they have a safety switch on the handle somewhere that you need to push or slide for the saw to operate. You can always send a pick of it to me on Instagram @toolreviewzone so I can see what you are working with

[@jeffstumpf822]

A 4x4 with a 7 1/4 saw?

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

Thank you

[@reno9324]

How to change the blade?

[@ToolReviewZone]

There is a bolt that needs to be taken out that can be found in the middle of the blade. Loosen it up and put the new blade on. There is a blade stop button on the head that you can press down on to keep the blade from spinning on you

[@Pro1er]

@@UC-73P87iZAfZ05it7mjgbLg You mentioned the Skil saw not being calibrated out of the box which reminded me of an ordeal I went through. I'm still mad at myself for not returning a Ryobi 7-1/4" 18V miter saw. When I got it, it was completely, and I mean *_completely_* out of whack. That saw must have been made the day after one of those drunken, two week long Chinese holidays. I could get past the miter and bevel being sim-aligned, but it was much, *_much_* worst than that. For starters, even when adjusted, the miter was so far off that I had to file the plastic pointer to get it to set at zero. Even that was still not enough to get a true 90 degree cut, I actually had to re-machining the fence to get it right! The bevel decal was slapped on at such a cock-eyed angle that the pointer wasn't anywhere near it. Also I had to recalibrate the laser because no amount of turning the set screw would correct it. To make things worse, the detents are not correct, I have to use a protractor to get an accurate miter cut. That saw was was a total abortion right out of the factory. I guess Ryobi doens't have a Q.C. department. Out of the half dozen miter saws I own, guess which one is my least favorite?

[@NC-oc3ld]

I wish they made a 40v version

[@marknotargiacomo4900]

I see some sparking inside the motor housing (grey bit next to the handle/power switch) while it's running, and a tremendous spark when I let go of the trigger. Anyone else notice this when running this saw? If not for that, I'd say this saw is a great addition to my shop, but I'm not sure that's a good mix with some sawdust in the air.

[@ericl6460]

I think most tools do that? Seen my drills do it lots

[@Hotled1944]

4x4?

[@ebbyt00]

I would love to have a LASER instead of LED , makes me to go for a different brand that comes with LASER

[@mlsturgeon69]

The led light actually is very accurate for lining up your cut. ore accurate than the laser on my Makita LS1018

[@cory0814]

For those now in the know, The bag collects dust alot better when it's not upside down...

[@tammyduenas4132]

I recently bought this saw. I was very happy with it until I tried to use the clamp on the right side. The motor is on the side of the saw so it will not slide all the way back if I am using the clamp on the right. Very disappointing. I want to cut several pieces of wood without measuring each one so I tried to create stopper on the right with a block of wood and the clamp and it does not cut through.

[@rypaz87]

I was annoyed by that as well, but I've gotten around it by ditching the stock clamp and just using trigger clamps to secure the wood to the fence. It's silly that they would put that port on that side when there is obviously no clearance most of the time, but you can still make it work!

[@SCWD_US]

A huge issues is when holding the piece from the right side you can't make a complete cut because of the motor. You are forced to use the clamp.

[@lenordvaughan5036]

I don't know why you do the unboxing videos either. I don't know why anyone would watch unboxing videos. They say nothing about the product.
