The 2 speed performance is great. This replaced the Black and Deck Wireless where the cartridge used to fray and wobble and is the newest addition to my Ryobi ONE+ set. I started with a saw in a "must have" situation when my tools were gone, then added all the saws, then a random orbit sander (God THAT was worth the 15 minutes I used compared to the hours I spent needed to get the job done ). otherwise) and finally this. I have never owned a Ryobi before buying a saw and have always preferred Milwaukee, Craftsman and DeWalt. However, this set of ONE+ models convinced me. Now they are my favourites.
