Thank you! They're great tools, a step up from the Ridgid I first had in terms of longevity. Going to be borrowing a buddies Ryobi stuff here soon and looking forward to the comparison on that.
Yeah I'd say for simple handyman stuff if you're trying to keep your set up compact you'll be fine with 6-1/4, but get the M18 if you're cutting through 2x material. The 7-1/4" is the most standard size circular saw, but you'll really only miss that extra bit when cutting 4x4's. If you get the M12 it'll do fine for most 1x material, but that's it. Also note what your stores around carry for blades it may be harder to find 6-1/2" in a diverse selection compared to 7-1/4". Cutting technique tip you may or may not know, if the saw is struggling you can pick up the back end of the saw slightly and that'll help it power through. You also use that if you drift from your line and are trying to correct mid-cut.
I just realized you may be asking Ryobi vs Milwaukee...I haven't had time to do that video yet, I did use a buddies Ryobi stuff for a week and was very surprised by how well they did. The 18ga battery nailer was great. Saws did well, Milwaukee does have a bit more power especially in the miter, but no complaints. I'm thinking about getting Ryobi just to beat up for a year and review because I want to see how the tools hold up more than the immediate out of the box quality.
Good video. I have the m12 and the 6-1/2” M18. They’re both great.

Which one is best for starting handyman job?
@@hakanerskills definitely the 6-1/2”. It’s plenty powerful.
