              A:  Yes, with a proper blade it will rip through a couch with ease. Heck. This thing ripped through an oil tank and a tree trunk.

                        Junk junk junk
                        The output shaft broke sawing a 2x2 wood jamb. I probably had less than a couple hundred cuts on it. Still had the original Diablo blade I purchased and their blade was still going strong, Diablo is a solid product. Home Depot was very helpful explaining the hoops I would have to jump through to “possibly” get Ryobi to honor some sort of warranty. It appears I would have to pay $30 to have the saw shipped back to Ryobi and they would “decide” if they would honor the warranty. Gee, I wonder how that would turn out for me. I bet my solution will be yellow and black.

                          Weak internal parts that do not last
                          I've owned two of these saws, and the bevel gear stripped out on both. ereplacementparts, shows that this part has been discontinued, which means that it is defective. Don't buy if you want a saw that will last, because you cannot fix it without parts.

                            The handle comes off when warm
                            I have been a long time ryobi user and proponent. This particular tool let me down entirely. I bought it and used it to cut through a single bolt on a Jeep the same day. Half way through that single bolt, the front end of the saw got warm and the grey rubber that is simply wrapped around the front end became loose. It was loose enough to remove with very little effort if desired. It made it very difficult to grip and manipulate. I returned it simply so I could finish work that day with a superior tool. Avoid this particular ryobi product.

                              I bought this to replace my battery Ryobi reciprocating saw that has served me well several years...
                              I bought this to replace my battery Ryobi reciprocating saw that has served me well several years. I was in the midst of cutting back some evergreens when I overtaxed it. Been happy with Ryobi so I thought I should step up the performance capability for the project. I compared the weight of this versus other corded saws and thought them comparable. This was at the lower end of the pricing, another positive. This powered right through the trunks without effort. I would highly recommend this unit, without hesitation.
