How Our Score Is Calculated

Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
4 ORBITAL SETTINGS: The higher the setting, the faster the wood can be cut. These higher settings are best for straight cuts in wood, while the lower settings are best for curves or metal cutting.
BUILT-IN DUST BLOWER: This tool's feature will assist you in clearing debris as you work, allowing you to see clearly.
In dimly lit environments, LED LIGHTING improves your line-of-sight.
BASE FOR BLADE SAVINGS: You can drop the foot as your blade wears out. This enables the blade to dig deeper and use fresher teeth near the base of the blade. You'll use all of your blades this way, which will keep them fresh for longer.
TRIGGER LOCK SYSTEM: To activate the locking system, pull the trigger and press the side-of-the-unit button. With this feature, you can concentrate all of your efforts on getting your cuts to look the way you want them to.

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use U Blades with this jig?

No, T shanks are used.

Is there a laser guide or a light source to illuminate the work area?

There is no laser on it. There is a laser on the P521. A P521, on the other hand, is difficult to come by. I believe Ryobi took the laser away because most people aren't aware of how to use it. To use it effectively, you must aim far down at the board's end. The majority of people aim for the blade, which serves no purpose.

Is this compatible with the older 18v ni-MH batteries in yellow and black? What are the MH batteries?

Yes, it is compatible with both Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries. cad or lithium-ion batteries Ryobi Lithium-ion Batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery that can be

dust blower built-in: This tool's feature will aid in the removal of debris as you work, allowing you to see clearly - What are the options for adjusting this feature?

There is no adjustment for the dust blower that I am aware of. It's most likely related to the motor's speed, which can be adjusted. The manual makes no reference to the built-in dust blower.

Selected User Reviews For Ryobi One+ P523 18V Lithium Ion Cordless Orbital T Shank 3,000 SPM Jigsaw (Battery Not Included, Power Tool and T Shank Wood Cutting Blade Only)

Ryobi is the winner
4/5

What a powerful saw! I recently used it to cut a hole in a laminate countertop for a sink. I used a Bosch 20 tooth scrolling blade, which worked great and didn't chip at all. Despite what some other reviews claim, this saw will accept standard t-shirt material. blades with a shank It is a battery hog, as has been mentioned in other reviews. If you're starting a project, it's a good idea to have a few high-capacity, fully charged batteries on hand.

It is not suitable for detailed work
4/5

I own a number of ryobi tools, all of which perform admirably, but this one could be better. First and foremost, the product was mislabeled, and I received the incorrect model (P5231 vs P523). However, when I received the one I ordered, I noticed that the blade bent and wobbled side to side enough that the bottom and top cuts did not line up, especially with thicker wood. I had a cheap old black and decker jigsaw that I used and abused for over a decade and never had that problem. On the plus side, it has plenty of power and the blade lock is simple and quick to operate. I would recommend a different tool if you plan to do detailed work, but it does a good job for rough work.

Sliding speed is helpful, and it's a good massage gun option
4/5

Because I already had ryobi tools, I bought it to make a massage gun. The massage gun is fun, but it's a little too loud, heavy, and unwieldy for some people. But it does the job, and aside from the noise level, I have no complaints for the $100 I spent on it. The sliding speed is ideal for a massage gun because it prevents you from accidentally giving it too much juice, and the ability to lock it in at a constant speed is a great feature for people who want to do massages with it.

This seller should not be purchased from
3/5

It appears that the saw is in working order. It's way too soon to say. I understand that this was a refurbished item, but the seller could have done a better job with the shipping. It arrived in an oversized box with no packing materials to keep it from moving around. It wasn't even covered or poly-coated. Because we had a storm the day it was delivered, I needed a full day to test the saw because I didn't want to risk it shorting out.

Ryobi is the name of a character in the video game Ryobi
5/5

It was unnecessary to say anything else. This is an excellent product that is well worth your money. This is a wonderful addition to my cordless collection. It's well-built and simple to operate. It works well in hardwood and doesn't get sluggish. Installation of blades is simple.

This is a fantastic little jigsaw puzzle
5/5

I already own several of these tools, but I needed a jigsaw for some woodwork on a bathroom remodel. This little guy is a workhorse. He has never let me down and has always performed admirably. It never failed me when I was cutting wood and thick vinyl flooring.

It does not follow a straight path
3/5

Manipulation is extremely difficult. Does not follow the path of least resistance. I like Ryobi, but not this product because it's so difficult to follow even a semblance of a line.

This is a fantastic battery-operated jigsaw
5/5

We purchased this for some home improvement projects, and it performed flawlessly. The light is especially useful when working in tight spaces. br>I like the variable speed, and it saw a lot better than our previous Jig Saw. br>I'd buy it again if I needed it.
