As a mechanic, what should I add to my collection?

I have an open spot in my power tool drawer and want to fill it. What’s next in my Ridgid lineup?

About to test Ridgid warranty: Broken vacuum handle

I went to pick this bad boy up off the ground and the handle just snapped off and lifted away, trailing the electrical wires from the battery pack with it. This has seen very little use, but I've had it for about two years. I'm still on the first back and filter.

I'm excited to see how Ridgid responds. I'd love to say the warranty submission process is easy, but their web portal form has glitched five times throughout the day today as I've tried to submit the necessary pics and info. I'll try again tomorrow and see if maybe there server is working then.

Anyone else see this type of failure before? Seems like a very poor design with the mass of the batteries incorporated into the handle and very thin screw posts to connect it all to the motor housing. It's like it was asking to snap.

Wish me luck!

Collection — What’s Next?

Very happy with the versatility of my collection as I’ve been upgrading it over the last few months. What should I keep an eye out for next? 🤔 (Woodworking/DIY/Yardwork/Home)

Good deal on a Crown Stapler Kit at $109?

The tool alone has been on sale before for about $60. So then the question is is the charger and 2Ah MAX Output battery worth another $49?

Quick question 😅

Hey everyone, quick question for anyone who got this kit from Home Depot. Did your charger or box look different from the pictures online? Just wondering if it might cause any issues with the LSA registration.

Figured I'd drop this here. Someone else said this sale comes on now and again so I've been keeping an eye on it. 10 hours left.

Ridgid Inflator R86051B Aftermarket Hose?

Anyone know of an aftermarket hose that has the fitting to lock into the box-style Ridgid 18v inflator, but is more flexible and maybe even longer. Nowadays mine is used mostly for inflating my wife and kid's paddle boards so it'd be nice to have a hose that can twist and bend to the locking mechanism of those inflatables. I 3D printed an adapter for the end of the stock hose and it gets the job done, but wondering if there's a nicer option out there or something someone has found that unintentionally happens to fit the Ridgid inflator.

Any ideas on when the Stealth Force Impact will be back in stock?

I'm hoping it will be back before the battery deal ends in September.

If you bought the caulk gun for $74.50 a couple weeks ago, it's now $52.15

You can go into the store and ask for a price adjustment. Worked for me yesterday.

Are these two actually any different? I really like the current brushless omt wondering if anyone has tried the nuke?

Worth jumping on these or wait for the Nuke versions?

I recently hopped on the Ridgid bandwagon, starting with the Nuke impact/hammer drill kit. I also picked up the right angle drill kit, a couple 175W inverters, and the free multi material saw that was included in a battery/charger starter kit. At this point, I have 3 chargers and a bunch of 4Ah MAX batteries.

I'm thinking about jumping on these two tools because I'll have corded Skil jigsaw and like 4 corded routers, but don't have cordless versions of either tool. I'm trying to figure out if I should grab these or wait for Nuke versions to drop. Neither one is a dire need, but I do like the convenience of cordless.
