What reviewers say about the Ryobi PSBCS01B ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Compact 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw

Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, hands-tested this exact model (the HP Brushless Compact PSBCS01). They found the brushless motor's torque stronger than expected for a compact DIY/prosumer saw, delivering smooth cuts at 4,900 RPM, and praised the improved grip and the convenient rear-housing wrench storage. They flagged the missing 45-degree bevel stop, low-contrast depth markings etched into the blade guard, and blade binding on thicker cuts.

Tested by Pro Tool Reviews

Consistently praised

  • Brushless motor torque stronger than expected for a compact DIY/prosumer-class saw
  • Improved grip: stouter rubber overmold, more aggressive texture, sweat-channeling grooves
  • Convenient blade-change wrench storage indented on the rear housing
  • Compact size still makes 45-degree bevel cuts in 2x material in one pass

Commonly flagged

  • No 45-degree bevel stop, requires extra time dialing in the angle
  • Depth markings etched into the blade guard are low-contrast and hard to read
  • Blade can bind on thicker cuts
  • Stock blade should be swapped for a premium one for best performance

Where reviewers disagree Single-source only; no cross-source comparison is possible and the findings are unverified against a second whitelisted lab. Pro Tool Reviews cut with the saw and measured its dimensions but did not run its own runtime benchmark, instead citing Ryobi's claim of up to 350 crosscuts in 2x4 on a 4.0Ah battery.

Compared to other DIY/Prosumer-level saws, the brushless motor's torque puts Ryobi on a different level.
there's no 45° stop, so you'll need to take a little more time dialing it in compared to saws that have that stop.
That's not to say you can't bind the blade—you can on thicker cuts.
