I need some 2.5" Kreg screws for my bench project. I wanted to see if Lowe's
carried them, so I went to their website.

They have them and on the page for the product I found this:

That's a Ridgid impact driver.

Now I know that Home Depot isn't the only place that sells Ridgid tools, but
I'm pretty sure that 1 - Lowe's doesn't and 2 - when many people think Ridgid,
they think Home Depot.

No Lowes sell Rigid, and Craftsman.


I'm pretty sure Lowes doesn't sell Ridgid tools.

If you might be able to find Ridgid plumbing tools at some Lowes
somewhere, they certainly won't be selling any battery driver type
tools, which is the context of his post.

My Lowe's has carried Rigid commercial plumbing tools since I moved
here since 99. It is a stock photo, bought for use by Lowe's. When I
recently went there for plumbing stuff, Craftsman was the primary
tools on display, with everything else on the shelves off the main
isle.


Ridgid plumbing tools have been around a lot longer than the cordless
driver and other battery stuff. ASAIK, HD or whoever, bought the Ridgid
brand name from the plumbing tool company and took off with their HD
house brand tools.

They are essentially two different companies with the same name, sharing
a website.
You won't see ANY non-plumbing Ridgid tools in Lowes. or any other
brick-n-mortar retailer.
