Thanks, first impressions are pretty good. I’ve got a 12v Bosch sander which feels great in the hands but the battery runs out pretty quick with 2Ah batteries so I think I could get much more sanding done with this one.
If the drill and impact driver weren't so ridiculously heavy for the average person, I probably would have gone with Flex. Lowe's had some crazy clearances on the turbo hammer drill combo with stacked lithium batteries right before they pulled them from the shelves.
Yeah for everyday use they are on the heavier side. I was doing some planting and drilling holes with an auger and the Flex was great to use with its power. For that application the weight wasn’t an issue at all.
@@GearSpinTools I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but the middle finger on my right hand is crooked due to the knuckle being messed up. When I was trying to drill parallel to the ground with the Flex, the groove between the rubber and the plastic underneath the trigger kept digging into that knuckle. That was the main reason I went with Ridgid. It has plenty of power for my needs, and there is no groove underneath the trigger.
Good quick review. I’ve been trying to figure out what cordless sander I want as well.

Hey, Kaleb. I think SoAlz said the Dewalt is pretty good.

Got the Flex jigsaw? Not a lot of content on it out there.
@@steveg7000 I did recently buy it with the new bogo, but haven’t had a chance to use it.
