r/Ridgid

I wouldn't mind having one of these because my gas saw is 20" & heavy - it's an Echo 560 or something like that. This little saw is ALWAYS $189! I've been into Ridgid for almost 3 years, & I don't think I've ever seen it on sale. I've seen combos, but I've got a TON of batteries and I have a trimmer, & that's all the OPE I want. I've got a REALLY bad back & ate up with arthritis, so this would be really useful. I've just always gotten all my tools at a significant discount. I don't remember seeing it at DTO. Thoughts on it? Suck it up & pay the price?

Stealth, New Drill. That mini blower looks way better and smaller than Milwaukees.

I know someone already posted the announcement of Ridgid Nuke but here is a better view at what is coming!

That's really it. I saw the regular 4 ah 2pack and charger for $99 then saw for $50 more got a fan. Cool 👍 just a home diyer these days but this thing is convenient!

Found this Dewalt atomic 1/2 impact kit for $249. I recently got 2x Ridgid 4Ah batteries + charger for on a deep sale for $63 but could return. Also have a Ridgid 4Ah Max Output battery + drill for I got used for $30, as well as a Ryobi leaf blower, 4Ah battery, and charger.

Is this dewalt impact + 9Ah battery + charger for $249 powerful enough to be my only impact (automotive DIY) and worth returning/selling my Ridgid stuff for, or should I wait for the Ridgid mid-torque to go on sale?

I was looking at some options and this came up. Why is this price so much lower than the other options? Even some of the 5 peak are over $100. What am I missing?

So I've got a brushed Milwaukee Impact & Drill along with 3 1.5AH batteries (and $45 Chinese pruning saw 2 6AH Chinese Milwaukee knock offs which were dirt cheap).

Thing is I've stumbled upon this Ridgid deal which looks great for me. 5 tool combo, 2 4AH batteries. I already NEED a 6 1/2 circular saw and wanted a Sawzall as well, but Milwaukee was $199 for brushed versions of both until recently.

I can choose between $397 CAD for the brushed Ridgid kit which includes

-impact driver

-drill

-6 1/2 circular

-sawzall

-flashlight

-2 4AH batteries & charger

-big tool bag

OR

$256 CAD for brushed Milwaukee

-sawzall (bare tool)

-6 1/2 circular (bare tool)

Are Milwaukee brushed tools so much better that I should stay with them? Or do you think going with Ridgid is a good idea especially with the LSA I've heard about.

Was surfing the web (as one does on a Wednesday) and saw a new 8 tool combo priced at $299.
Wondering what everyone’s thoughts are.

I already have a drill/driver, batteries I’m fine on (but more batteries is always nice).
I know it’s brushed, but with the LSA and not using equipment on a daily work basis, it’s fine.
Plus I can get an additional 10% off so my total is $269.

Hey guys, the Ridgid HD0919 18v Cordless shop vac is down from $140 to $109. This is an updated version of the old cordless 9 gallon shop vac that was discontinued. Might be worth a look!
