You can't be serious. Would you extend this to drill bits, router
bits, saw
blades and all other expendable materials and accessories?


Why not? Only way you can be sure the drill bits match properly.


Yep. That's why you need a Campbell's can opener to open your
Campbell's soup cans, a generic can opener just won't do the job
right.



It is not all that uncommon for companies of garbage products like
rigid & ryobi to use oddball sizes that necessitate using their
sanding attachments. Much different than Campbells that packages its
products to work with standard opening devices.



Yeah, 3X24 isn't very standard for a sander and a drill with a 1/2 inch
chuck probably won't take a shank much larger, but probably will take a
shank of a lesser diameter (cheap damn tool cant decide what it takes).
Rigid tools (IMHO) are not garbage. Ryobi tools are probably the best tools
a home owner/hobbiest can buy.
