I am looking at getting a saw either circular or jigsaw to make some cabinets for my house.

Is there any real difference between the green and blue 18V cordless Ryobi range, apart from colour?

Also, what type of saw would you recommend? I was leaning to the circular saw.

Cheers

definatly the circular saw for strait lines

the colour makes no difference as far as i know the tools that look the same are identical
the batteries and tools are full interchangeable as well
