RIDGID Cordless Tools

I can't honestly judge any brand of cordless tools except those I own. After being in the furniture and cabinet business for nearly 35 yrs. I bought one. I had never owned a cordless power tool. When they first came into the market I tried one out, I can't remember the brand, it did'nt have enough power to do anything so I had just ignored them all this while. We're in the midst of puting up a couple steel buildings this summer, I'd noticed that all the pole barn builders were using them to screw the tin on, so I did a little research. John Deere has them on sale I think thru the end of Aug., so I bought the kit with the drill a circular saw, batteries, flashlight and the charger. I kind of chuckled at that little circular saw, but to the carpenter's and my total amazment it sliced thru white oak planks like they were cardboard. He won't even use his Skilsaw because the little Deere just seems to never give up. The drill runs the screws into the oak nailers like ther's nothing to it. I think the kit comes with a five year warranty too. I don't know anything about Rigid, bit the Deere kit deserves a look. Frank.

RIDGID Cordless Tools

No, I don't own any Deere stock but the Deere cordless tools I mentioned in a prior post we've been using steady for almost two weeks now. We're on our second pole shed now and we've never pluged in a circular saw yet, that little 18 volt Deere circular saw makes the energizer rabbit look like a wimp. I have no idea who makes them for Deere, but thier power is unbelievable. Frank.
