Advertised with life time warranty on the tool and batteries.

Since I already have a Chinese multimaster of which I am very fond of
now (thanks HF for a tool worth 3X more than $35), and have the
Ridgid 12v Li mini drill/driver, I won't bite. But that is indeed a
whole bag of tools for $199.

Yeah, if you already have the problem solved like I do you don't need it.


I too have found Ridgid tools to be a bit erratic in their
usefulness. They seem to perform well for me and I haven't had any
complaints on my part, but I know others have. But then again, unless
we get into the upper end tool price range, I would say they do
perform better than some of the DeWalt and PC tools I own.

I still don't own any and will say that 6 years ago when I was looking at
them I thought the drill was heavy. But then again I think any thing over
9.6 volt is starting to get heavy. ;~)


I think the selling point there would be the bag and the "stuff" you
wag around in it. Sometimes you just need enough tool to get the job
done, no more. With truck space at a premium, it would be nice to
toss that thing in the front seat and be off for a small repair or
quick installation of one kind or another.

Precicely, and as I mentioned, if you are waiting to pull the trigger you
probably don't need one for heavy or daily use, otherwise you would already
have one. It looks like a lot of vlaue in variety for those type tools that
are problem solvers rather than a daily use tool.
