- Is the trimmer brushless?
- Yes. The trimmer uses a brushless motor, which runs cooler and more efficiently than a brushed motor and needs no brush replacement.
- How long does the 4.0 Ah battery last?
- Run time depends on load. Expect moderate trimming or blowing on a single charge, and plan to swap the battery between the trimmer and blower on bigger jobs.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- Yes. The kit includes an 18V 4.0 Ah battery and a charger, so no separate purchase is needed to start.
- Can I use other Ridgid 18V batteries?
- Yes. The tools run on Ridgid's 18V battery platform, so other Ridgid 18V packs work, including larger capacities for longer run time.
- Is the blower strong enough for fall leaves?
- It handles dry leaves on hard surfaces and light debris. For wet, matted leaves or large yards, a dedicated higher-output blower is a better fit.
- Is it good for a large yard?
- It is best for small to mid-size yards. A large property will mean more battery swaps and slower going than with gas or higher-voltage tools.
