  RIDGID Cordless Tools

I agree with your very last statement Denwood. Only thing is that with hand tools you cant get a better buy 100 warrenty. I dont like the back lash in the ratchets though but for 95% of the jobs they are fine. I have a craftsment circular saw for the last 14 years still running but as soon as I used a makita profesional (on my last building project (the garage) I was convinced and saw the light. I then went out and bought a dewalt corded saw. BIG mistake, its definately NO MAKITA.
No offesnse took, this is a great topic where everyone expresses their likes and dislikes. A fool would think that a cheaper tool would be as good as a tool that is 3 times the price along with the fact that profesionals use them. Fact is though that many many folks never build anything as complicated as a large dog house. For those folks to have a $220 circular saw is ridiculous. Those are the same folks that owe 200K on their home that is worth 220K But they have all the most expensive toys and dont care. Laughing out loud

  RIDGID Cordless Tools

Rigid has become one of the better tools out there. Better bearings less chuck movement side to side on there drils and better warrantees. Excellent outlet of stores with home depot. They also have a better battery charger and warrantee here as well.

  RIDGID Cordless Tools

Sears was having Ryobi make their cordless drills. I don't know who is making the Ridgid drills.
I also have a Ridgid table saw which I believe is good quality. It has had 5 years of steady use. Craftman professional was selling the same saw. I did see it branded with another name, which was a quality maker but can not recall now. When Home Depot bought Ridgid they only made had tools and most were for plumbing. The only other ridgid tools I have owned are the pipe cutters, benders and flaring tools.
I think any of the manufactures can have a clunker in the pot. For example no one has mentioned Porter Cable which has a good reputation. I have a 6" sander that has many hours of use with no problems. I also have a hammer drill that was repaired once. The used Hilti was a suburb drill which I am sorry I sold.
