That’s good to know that Ridgid is now offering ope. I’ve bought some Ryobi that I power with Ridgid batteries because they didn’t offer any.
I've always wanted to get a hold of a couple of the Ridgid beak jaw adjustable wrenches that were made by western forge. They looked like they had a larger sized head then handle length. I have one that is craftsman branded that is a great wrench. The beak jaw makes it a lot easier to get into tight spaces.
Ridgid announced yesterday, 23 more tools for this year. Some of them are just the same old BS. I’m waiting for the track saw and the right angle impacts.

I have a lot of ridgid tools. I have a fokd away table saw that I love. Strong, easily tucked away, and accurate. I also have a ton of 18v tools.
1/2 impact gun
3/8 stubby impact gun
Impact driver
Drill
Reciprocating saw
Nailer
A round sander
A square sander
3 flashlights
Multi-tool
3 chargers
And probably 10 batteries from 2ah to 6ah.
I also have a few corded senders, and drills and at least 4 pipe wrenches.
I really like those tools. In fact, I'm right in the middle of a remodel on our home. I'm using ridgid, and my buddy who is the pro uses dewalt. Weve been interchanging tools as needed, and I believe the ridgid tools are just as good as the dewalt. I like my impact driver better. And my battery life is better. I've often thought about "upgrading " to yellow or red. If I choose to do so, it will be with red. Just my opinion....

I have the RIDGID R86212 18V Brushless 4-Mode 1/2 in. High-Torque Impact Wrench.
They are every bit as good as the Dewalt IMHO.

Excuse the mess. I dropped a photo in the DeWalt thread the other day, but it turns out I should have come here first. More DeWalt batteries for sure, but I'm way more invested in Ridgid than I thought., when compared to the DeWalt collection, as evidenced by the photo. I might have a problem...
