The Ryobi PBLRS01K1 bundles the ONE+ HP 18V brushless reciprocating saw with a 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE battery and charger, making it a complete entry point for homeowners tackling demo, pruning, or rough cutting without existing ONE+ HP batteries. The brushless motor reaches 3,200 SPM with a 1-1/4 in. stroke, and the tool-free lever blade clamp handles quick blade changes in the field. The 4.0 Ah HP cell provides extended runtime that outlasts the smaller packs often bundled with competing kits at this price. Buyers who already own ONE+ HP batteries should consider the PBLRS01B bare tool instead.
What is included in the PBLRS01K1 kit?
The kit includes the PBLRS01B reciprocating saw, a 6 in. wood blade, one 18V 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE battery, and an 18V charger. It is a complete package — no additional accessories are required to start cutting.
Why buy the kit instead of the bare tool PBLRS01B?
The PBLRS01K1 makes sense if you do not already own 18V ONE+ HP batteries. The bundled 4.0 Ah HP cell is a high-quality battery that provides long runtime and pairs well with the brushless motor's power demands.
Is there a second-generation version of this saw?
Yes. The PBLRS02B is the Gen 2 bare tool, offering 25% faster cutting, a Rapid-Release blade lever, and a folding rafter hook. A Gen 2 kit equivalent has not been widely listed, so the PBLRS01K1 remains the primary kit option.
Can I use the included 4.0 Ah battery in other Ryobi tools?
Yes. The 18V 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE battery is compatible with the entire Ryobi ONE+ and ONE+ HP 18V platform, which includes over 300 tools. It is one of the more versatile batteries in the lineup.
What type of blades does this saw accept?
The PBLRS01K1 accepts universal-shank reciprocating saw blades. It ships with a 6 in. wood blade. Ryobi and third-party bi-metal, demo, and pruning blades in standard universal-shank format are all compatible.
