Overview
RIDGID's R8646B is a handheld saw weighing 5.93 pounds, light enough to run one handed through a cutting session. The listing doesn't specify blade size or power source, so weight is the main confirmed detail.
RIDGID sells across corded, cordless, and pneumatic tool lines, and nothing in the available data pins this one down further than saw and weight. Buyers who care about battery voltage or blade diameter should check the full product page rather than assume.
