Is there really a difference between the Ridgid cordless reciprocal saw ( not the brushless one) and the ryobi. I’ve had to replace the gear in my ridgid twice now, and it’s the same part as the Ryobi. Is there a difference other than color? Thanks
Hello, Brettc18 - While some internal parts may look similar, there is certainly a meaningful step up in overall performance, durability, and build quality between the brushed RYOBI and the comparable RIDGID reciprocating saw. RIDGID tools are engineered and tested to handle heavier-duty, more frequent use, and the saws are built with tighter tolerances, stronger housings, and a higher duty cycle in mind. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question.
