Nope, Rigid, Mlwaukee and Ryobi are all made by Techtonic Industries. Here
is the NA website; http://www.ttigroupna.com/

Here is their corporate web, http://www.ttigroup.com/general/home.php

Their sites don't talk about Rigid because it's a private label deal to put
the Rigid name on their power tools. If you are at a woodworking show and
see Rigid there, ask one of the reps. They all work for TTI.

the same as crapsman at one time. Most the ridged stuff I've checked out
