- Is this kit worth it over buying tools separately?
- For someone starting out, yes: one charger and two batteries serve all ten tools, which is cheaper than assembling the same set piece by piece. If you only need a drill and driver, a smaller kit is the better fit.
- Brushed or brushless motors?
- These are brushed motors. They deliver the rated torque but run less efficiently and wear faster than brushless equivalents, so expect shorter runtime per charge and a shorter service life under heavy daily use.
- Do the batteries fit other Ridgid 18V tools?
- Yes. The batteries use Ridgid's 18V platform, so they work in other Ridgid 18V cordless tools, and other Ridgid 18V batteries work in these tools.
- What comes in the box?
- Ten 18V tools, two lithium-ion batteries, a charger and a tool bag. The set covers drilling, driving, sawing, cutting, blowing and lighting.
- Can the blower handle leaves and yard cleanup?
- It moves 110 CFM at up to 160 MPH, enough for driveways, patios and gutters. It is a hand-held cleanup blower, not a replacement for a backpack blower on a large lawn.
- How much torque does the impact driver have?
- 1,850 in-lbs, which is high for a combo-kit impact driver and handles long deck screws and lag bolts. The drill/driver is rated at 525 in-lbs.
- Where is the Ridgid 18V Cordless 10-Tool Combo Kit with Batteries, Charger, and Tool Bag cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $749.00, as of our latest check.
