Our take on the Ridgid 18v Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit With (2) Batteries & Charger

The Ridgid 18V Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit is a cordless oscillating tool that runs on Ridgid's 18V battery platform. It comes as a kit with two batteries and a charger, so you can keep one pack charging while the other runs. It suits trim carpenters, remodelers and homeowners who cut, sand and scrape in tight spots without a cord. Against corded multi-tools it trades some sustained power for freedom of movement; against other 18V brands it stands out mainly through the shared battery platform and the two-battery kit.

Questions and answers

What comes in the kit?

The multi-tool, two 18V batteries and a charger. Accessories such as blades and sanding pads are usually sold separately, so check the box contents before you start a job.

Does it use the same batteries as other Ridgid 18V tools?

Yes. It runs on Ridgid's 18V battery platform, so packs from other Ridgid 18V tools fit, and its packs work in those tools.

Can it cut through nails and screws?

With a bi-metal blade it can cut flush through nails and screws in trim and drywall. Use a wood or drywall blade for softer material and expect slower going in hardened steel.

How is it different from a corded oscillating tool?

It runs on batteries, so there is no cord to manage and it works where power is not available. A corded tool keeps full power under long, heavy cuts.

Does it accept standard oscillating blades?

It uses oscillating multi-tool accessories with the matching mount. Confirm the blade mount type before buying third-party blades.

Is it good for sanding?

Yes, with a sanding pad and the right grit it reaches corners and edges a random orbital sander cannot. It removes material slowly, so it suits detail work rather than large surfaces.
