The impacts and drills are okay. Their drill bits are junk.also how is ryobi for Home DIY?
I assume this is the kit with one 4.0 and one 1.5 Ah battery(?) If not, you will want a 4.0 or 6.0 if you trim trees or shrubs with the reciprocating saw...that thing uses a lot of battery! OTOH the 1.5 Ah lasts a long time in the drill and impact wrench...I only charge it once every few weeks.Thanks for the replies...going for the 6pc ryobi kit $200 and buying milwaukee shockwave bit set...i know it's all brushed tools but it's ok...Home diy only, should last a life time.
I've never seen Rigid cheap or cheaper than DeWalt. The lifetime battery is interesting, bit they don't have the choice of a vast number of tools compared to DeWalt or Milwaukee or Ryobi. One of the reasons I went to DeWalt was ability to buy used stuff or stuff that people bought In a kit that they will sell for a reasonable price. The current state of things has messed up prices for most used tools. Also keep in mind you can use adapters to use one brand of battery of another make of tool. I'm using DeWalt 20v batteries in Milwaukee 18v tools and Ryobi 18v tools. I've got DeWalt 20v batteries that are from 2011 and still going strong.When in the hell did they become so expensive, Like milwaukee and dewalt prices..I remember them being more budget friendly or am i wrong? I was looking for a new drill/impact combo kit, going to pass...on to ryobi
Still does but Emerson only makes their plumbing tools. Ridgid power tools are a HD exclusive made by Techtronic Industries of Hong Kong. TTI also owns the Milwaukee and Hoover brands, along with the rights to Ryobi tools, also a HD exclusive. I bought a Ridgid spud wrench for flushometer work at a clubhouse I help out with, $60 but the best plumbing wrench I’ve ever used.Ridge tools used to be a Division of Emerson Electric here in Saint Louis worked there for a number of years. Not sure who owns them now
