If you're planning on cutting 2x6's, get the 7 1/4" saw instead. I got the 5 1/2 as part of a set and it strains even with 2x4's. The bigger motor is quite noticeable.

Yes easily. I have the 5.5 battery and the 7.25 corded and only pull out the cord when cutting solid lumber. Plywood is fine w the smaller blade as long as you can keep straight

Two things from my experience.
As others have said this saw isn't worth it for 2x lumber, it's doable but it's not a good match even with the higher power batteries. It's really not even the power of the saw but the size of the blade. Fully extended it's barely 1/8" out of a 2x and that just bogs the saw down and makes the cut much harder. Strapping or anything less than 1" hasn't been an issue thus far. Fine if it comes in a kit you'd buy otherwise but the 7 1/4" is the way to go if you're buying for the circular saw.
Second, and this might not be an issue for some, but I really hate that the Ryobi jigsaws have no power lockout. I see this as as huge safety issue that causes inconvenience while using it since you have an exposed blade that requires nothing but a trigger pull to activate. Every other tool I have from them either requires a button hold at trigger pull or a toggle to turn on so if I'm setting the tool down between cuts I'm disconnecting the battery each time. Really not a fan of that, even if it's less immediately dangerous than say a circular say, but maybe it won't bother someone else. Think they're fine enough jigsaws otherwise.
I'm deep down the Ryobi rabbit hole in terms of my tools. Love them all apart from this jig saw. I literally tossed it into the trash.
I've owned and currently own a number of Ryobi tools...the 5.5" saw and their jigsaw are easily the worst tools they make. The 5.5 isn't very powerful and can easily bog, doesn't have a very good cut depth and the jigsaw has a lot of blade wobble.
Both are fine for extremely light/infrequent use but I wouldn't waste my money...save up and get something better.
