- Does it come with a battery or charger?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Ridgid 18V battery and charger, sold separately.
- Can it cut through nails and metal?
- With the right bi-metal blade it handles nails and thin metal, but the brushed motor and single speed suit light cuts better than heavy demolition.
- Does it accept other brands' blades?
- It uses the common oscillating interface, so most universal-fit blades work, though Ridgid's own fit is the safest bet.
- Is it good for sanding?
- Yes, with a sanding pad and sheets. The 3.2-degree arc is fine for detail sanding, but the lack of a speed dial limits control on soft finishes.
- How does it compare with brushless multi-tools?
- Brushless rivals run cooler, last longer per charge and often add variable speed and less vibration. This one is simpler and lighter.
- What is in the box?
- The tool itself with the accessory change system; blades, battery and charger are not included.

- At The Home Depot, for $59.97, as of our latest check.
