Is a 5.5" circular saw practical/ useful? Just had a 6.5" circular saw die on me and would like to replace it but that size doesn't seem useful for much.

The little saw is great for plywood and lopping off the ends of 2x4s.

Some may find it a little underpowered, but as long as you cut straight and use a sharp blade it shouldn't bog down much.

I have found that my 5.5" from them didn't always cut all the way through 2x4s. I usually had to flip it over. I upgraded to a 7.25 for this reason. If you aren't doing much with 2x4, then it shouldn't matter.

You must've been cutting some really old lumber, because a modern 2x4 is 1-1/2" thick and the depth of cut on this little saw is 1-11/16".

Wish they'd put the 7-1/4" saw up for sale. I have a ton of those blades and don't really want more 😭

Great little saw. I have one along with my full sized Ridgid Octane, but reach for the little Ryobi most of the time, unless I'm cutting some demanding stock.

I have this little 5.5" circular saw, along with a corded 7-1/4 Milwaukee and cordless 7-1/4 Ridgid Octane and love it. Use it much more than the other two. The Ryobi is the only one I take to to work for when I need to cut 2x4's, sheet goods, ledger boards, etc. I don't need a circular saw everyday, but for my needs it's great. Light and plenty of power for these tasks and takes up almost no room in my tool boxes.

You either have the depth set too high or you're cutting old lumber which was actually 2" x 4"

If you're worried about power I recommend a corded 7 1/4 circular saw with a Diablo blade. Will cut just about any wood you throw at it .

These Ryobi tools are just fine to use especially for home users. They're light and easy to use.

I'm building a barn with Ryobi ONE+ tools. 6x6 posts and 2x8 dimensional lumber. I've been transitioning to Ryobi's brushless ONE+ tools. All of my drills and drivers are now brushless, and they are powerful. The two tools I am using in this project that are brushed models are a 5.5" ONE+ circular saw I've had for probably 10 years (blue), and a newer (green) brushed reciprocating saw. The circular has an aftermarket blade (Admiral carbide tipped).

With a 3ah or 4ah battery, the brushed circular saw does great. I can make dozens of cuts on one battery. I also have enough batteries that draining one isn't a problem.

9 times out of 10, it cuts all the way through a 2x piece of lumber. It it doesn't, the lumber is hanging on by a thread, easily severed by turning the wood over and no longer supporting it.

I was going to buy a 7 1/4 brushless for this project, but I got started with the old saw, and it hasn't let me down, so I haven't bothered. Is it a great tool? No. But it works.
