Ridgid is my accessory line. Lights and fans. The miter only because it was pretty much first in brushless. Waiting for more accessory type tools from Ridgid.
I have Ridgid tools and they have been dependable for years now, I also have that ToughBuilt table and that is a beast for my use. Thanks Clint for the Vids.
SHOP TOOL REVIEWS has the 3/4 HIGH TQ at 2200 FOOT POUNDS this is a BEAST COMPARED to the 1/2 one go and get those 3/4 IMPACT READY SOCKETS just ordered some from Home today for my IMPACT
I’m about to buy the 3/4 impact. Which means I will have to buy my first Ridgid batt-ray, batt-ray charger, and I will be forced into buying the 18volt right angle impact as well. I am a diesel mechanic and have been running Milwaukee and snapon for a long time. The power of the Ridgid tools against the cost of them is making it hard to ignore anymore.
Ridgid is trying to lure me away lol. The nailers and the router are real nass like and I’d love to see a review on each of them, but what I really want to see one on is that skil bandsaw in the background.
Besides the LSA, what I like about Ridgid is that there is only one main battery platform. If I was a "power tool collector", which I am trying not to be, I would definitely want to purchase these!
1:40 Extra outlet? It's just a NEMA 1-15R. I guess you could plug another charger into it. As long as it doesn't have a wall wart, a power strip is good enough. A NEMA 5-15R would have been a lot better. 2:40 The router looks really nice.
I had to send in my ridgid right angle impact for warranty it wouldn’t impact. They received it February 26 and yesterday March 11 they emailed me saying they shipped a new replacement one. I’m glad they took care of it but it took a lot longer than Milwaukee’s warranty process. Keep that in mind if you use these tools daily.
@@BittyVids I finally got my replacement on March 21. They received it February 26 and I got the replacement on March 21. Almost a full month. Any Milwaukee stuff I’ve had to warranty took 10 days or less
I have had 3 Ridgid routers and all were not dead center to the base, all were not 90° to the base and all had motors that went bad after not all that much use. They start to feel like you're hitting nails while routing and it scares the crap out of you because it jerks the router pretty violently and you have no idea what just happened. Then you look at your bit, see no carbide damage, and then realize the workpiece has a gouge, so you figure there was something like a knot that grabbed it or something, then it happens again and again more and more frequently, ruining each workpiece in the process until you catch it happening while you're just holding the router while it's on. Why did I end up with 3 of them? Because i took them back to home depot for store credit and just got a new one and the third one im currently on, I don't even feel like bothering, no other router has given me similar issues ever since and while not all other routers are dead center in the base, at least the bits are square, but not a single one, no matter how old, has ever had motor issues like the Ridgid. Maybe the battery ones are different, because mine were all corded, but as far as I'm concerned, they're not accurate, nor reliable. At least they're comfortable I'll give them that.
They still have the Ridgid plumbing tools made in the USA. I just toured an Emerson tool factory this morning that makes Greenlee and some Ridgid pipe cutters in Ash Flat, AR. They spun off the Ridgid power tools.
@@jcewl93 THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP .IVE ALWAYS LIKED RIDGID .I CAN NEVER GET IN TOUCH WITH ANYONE THERE THOUGH...I HAVE A 300 PIPE THREADER THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND CANT GET ANY INFO..YEARS AGO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY...ANY CLUE?
I feel a ridgid wave is going to happen. I own like 7 tools... But like seriously they haven't gotten a table saw battery system, modern finish tools, and heck a big miter saw.. I only have a 7 inch....
I'm invested in Ridgid. I'm annoyed they stop expanding their line. I need them to make a rotary polisher. I'm also eyeing up their framing nailer. Glad that came out. The Brad nailer is excellent. I have 2 of their impact guns.
I have yellow, orange and green tools. That router looks pretty real naaaas like!! Thank for the info brother. And do I smell a 3/4 impact showdown coming lol??
Lifetime service agreement-there is a difference I have had pretty good luck with Ridgid they replaced two of the hybrid propane heaters But the service for a bad caulking gun has been troublessome
I Am Stoked, my router just got repaired at their TTI place. I literally plugged in my info from a copy and paste Document, and dropped the package off for FedEx at Walgreens! That was Last Wednesday, As of today (Monday) it is repaired and it will begin shipment on Tuesday. I’m almost certain they will be able to stand by their New Service Direct program and it’s objective to solve the issues Promptly. Yay! More work. I use the modern 2024 2 port Simulatenous charger. I do not charge my batteries while I am working, because I have so many. That thing is Fast though, and it Makes me happy I can throw 2 of the 6ah on there and usually I can Walk away with 3 others, and those will be charged before I kill 2 more. I find on average it takes 2 of the 6ah to drill a 20” Hole with the SDS rotary Hammer with a .75” bit. That’s about what I push with it, I could buy the 12ah battery for the sake of Strength but… I have had the extension in the hole on that bad boy. Total game changer, Space and the fact you can spin that drill any way you want without tangling a cord after 1 spin…
So, this is Ridgid's final house cleaning release as they're closing down? Ha! Thanks for overview. (Also, I know TRZ wasn't the source of the closing rumor, but I couldn't resist the callback)
I had high hope for this tool but it just didn't have the power to sink 1&1/2" staples at least with a 2ah battery. I returned it and bought the Milwaukee and have had no problems/ Milwaukee is a better made tool.
Wouldn't it be easier to drive in 23 gauge pin nails than 18 gauge staples? Why wouldn't they be able to make the pin nailer shoot 1-1/2 since they can make the narrow crown do that?
Took two Ridged 1/2” impacts to convince me the brand is trash. Both burned up just removing lugs from auto rims. Milwaukee or snap-on will always be king.
Tool brands You shouldn't charge extra for the rubber cover. It's a really bad look. You don't have to give everyone 1 in the box, but if I buy the tool and want the protection, you should offer free, but you have to go to the website to ask for it or something. Selling it separately is just dirty
I'm kind of a Ridgid fanboy. I have 57 registered tools. I think I need 3 more! Thanks Clint.
The more I usey Ridgid tools, the more I appreciate them.
Great new additions, Clint. Thank you!!

Very impressive 😊
Nice tools can’t wait till ryobi comes out with a roofing coil nail gun
Keep an eye out for clearance prices on the pin nailer. Picked one up last week for $55. Don't understand why it's already on clearance at some HDs..
On line ?
@@gabrielrocha560 In Store Only-varies by store.

Bring back the oil impulse stealth force line, unmatched
Where's the Ridgid tractor at??? Click bait 😂jk
though it was meant to mean dozer can be worked on with the impact, I do believe that they should build heavy equipment for us all lol
But I own no ridgid 😩
