Questions & Answers
Does this model P5231 have an internal dust blower on the sight line?
Asked by Dave December 7, 2018If it does have on, it's the weakest one I have seen.
Does this jigsaw use a brushless motor?
Asked by TheCard November 22, 2017Brushed motor.
Does this use t-shank blades?
Asked by Fauzia January 4, 2019It uses something similar but it will not fit standard blades. Even Ryobi jigsaw blades don’t fit this Ryobi jigsaw. This is a one time use tool. Nobody I can find sells blades for this throwaway tool. Enjoy the 1 blade it comes with because it is the only one that fits. I spent some time on tool forums and no one can find replacement blades either.
Tool doesn’t come with a battery?
Asked by Msole November 28, 2017No. The tool is sold without a battery. In most cases, Home Depot has a sale in which if you purchase a battery tool kit, the tool comes free. My package came with 2 batteries, the charger , a bag and the saw . I bought mine for under $120 bucks but that’s cause I had mine delivered. It’s cheaper if you do an in store pick up.
is the blade a t blade or u blade
Asked by Jim October 2, 2018Neither. No replacement blades fit this tool. Not even Ryoby brand t-shank jigsaw blades.
I have several old Ryobi tools, batteries dead. I can't remember when I bought them. Are the pr...
Asked by slhicks June 22, 2020Thank you slhicks for your inquiry. Our 18v batteries are designed to be interchangeable with all of our RYOBI 18v tools. You will replace charger, the older charger are not compatible with our current batteries ~hope this helps, Ashley
does the saw have a light?
Asked by CrazyWolf December 21, 2019Hi CrazyWolf, This does have a light for the cutting area. Thanks for asking. Greg
Can a left handed person use this easily?
Asked by Pat May 18, 2019Hello Dutch and thank you for the question. Yes! This saw is designed for both left and right handed use. Thank you!
The brushless P524 is double the price. Is there really that much of a difference in the use of it to pay double the cost?
Asked by williamtaylor0102 November 16, 2018No
Can this saw cut a 4 by4
Asked by Elise October 19, 2018Hi Elise. Whit a long enough blade it would cut one. I would suggest a reciprocating saw or circular saw for cutting something that large. Thanks for asking. Greg
