- Is this kit worth it for a first tool set?
- Yes, if you want drilling, driving, cutting, sanding, cleaning and lighting from one battery platform. The tools are RIDGID's basic 18V versions, so expect solid home and DIY performance rather than pro-grade power.
- Do the batteries fit other RIDGID 18V tools?
- Yes. Both the 2.0 Ah and 4.0 Ah packs use RIDGID's 18V battery interface, so they work in other RIDGID 18V tools and chargers.
- What is included in the box?
- Eight 18V tools, a 2.0 Ah battery, a 4.0 Ah battery, a charger and a tool bag. The listed tools include a drill/driver, impact driver, circular saw, random orbit sander, hand vacuum and LED worklight.
- How does it compare with a brushless combo kit?
- Brushless kits from RIDGID and its rivals cost more but run cooler and longer per charge. This kit's motors are the standard versions, so it trades efficiency for a lower entry into the platform.
- What does the lifetime service agreement cover?
- RIDGID's lifetime service agreement covers the tools and batteries when you register the kit, and it covers repair or replacement rather than normal wear parts. Registration is required, so keep the receipt and register soon after purchase.
- Can the circular saw cut through thick lumber?
- It is a standard 18V circular saw with an electronic brake and aluminum base, suited to framing lumber and sheet goods. Depth of cut depends on the blade size, and the 2.0 Ah battery limits how much you can cut per charge.
