Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers praise the PBT01B for its impressive cut capacity relative to its size, noting it handles 2x10 crosscuts and 2x6 miters effectively. While the 3,600 RPM brushed motor causes noticeable speed dips on compound cuts, experts consider the performance 'pretty good' for a cordless tool. The sliding mechanism is highlighted as a key advantage over non-sliding Ryobi models, though the tool is generally categorized as DIY-leaning rather than pro-grade due to power limitations.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the saw's portability, ease of use, and accurate detents for common trim projects. Common praise focuses on the convenience of cordless operation and the simplicity of blade changes. Recurring complaints involve slower cutting speeds on hard materials, rapid battery drain during heavy use, and frustration over the lack of dual bevel functionality for more complex molding work.
Common Complaints
Slower cutting speed on thick or hardwood materials. Rapid battery drain during repeated heavy compound cuts. Lack of dual bevel capability limits crown molding versatility. Lower RPM compared to corded models affects efficiency
