putting an addition on my house" then I like DeWalt 20v stuff.=20

Ryobi had a 4" or so circular saw an ex lent me and it was great for =
cutting cedar shingles while on a pitched roof. Anything =
heavier/stronger would have been unusable. Ryobi also has a line of =
garden tools that might share a battery platform.=20
