Score: 92/100Rankings
The Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Reciprocating Saw is a high-performance demolition tool featuring advanced ONE+ HP Technology for aggressive cutting. While it offers excellent vibration control and speed, the pivoting shoe has a limited adjustment range. It is best suited for DIYers and home renovators already invested in the Ryobi ONE+ ecosystem.
The Makita XRJ07R1B is a sub-compact brushless reciprocating saw designed for precision work in confined spaces, offering 18V power in a lightweight package. Its main trade-off is a shorter stroke length that limits aggressive cutting capabilities compared to full-size models. It is best suited for professional tradespeople like plumbers and electricians who need maneuverability in tight areas.
