ridgid

I purchase a cordless hammer drill years ago that was made by ridgid. ever since then I purchase nothing but ridgid.

how can you go wrong on a lifetime warrenty on the tool as well as lifetime on batteries?

so far Ive only had one issue with my drill and I use it moderately due to home renos.

That's how they hook you. Get you to buy into their line, then once you're hooked, you just keep buying more because you've already got the batteries, and it is best to keep them all interchangeable.....

Ill take it hook line and sinker.

I also purchase the compressor,brad nailer and stapler for only 249. that just covers the price of the guns and you get the compressor for free. the 12 inch dual bevel chop saw at 300 in the states. palm sander and cast iron table saws.

besides at home depot they have 20% off ridgid till oct 4th.

check some of the tool reviews. typically ridgid is eith number one or a slight second over some of the industrial tools.

of course if your just hanging a picture get the crappy tire cordless. I believe you get what you pay for.

oh and dewalt is just a beefier version of the b and d.

I also have the Porter Cable 18V and find it very powerful and smooth, but it's a bit heavy for use all day.
