What happens when you use hands-on field testing to tackle hundreds of RIDGID tool reviews? You get the following results. Whether it includes their popular drills and drivers or their new RIDGID tools for tile, we cover everything you can order online or at The Home Depot. From the new Ridgid R7135 Mud Mixer and Ridgid 18V 9.0 Ah Bluetooth battery to their drills and drivers, we put them into the hands of Pros. What makes RIDGID tools so unique is their value. Often, we find RIDGID being very close to the top performers, but they are priced well under the other mainstream tool brands. Our scientific approach to RIDGID tool reviews allows us to really demonstrate whether they represent a value, or if a higher-priced model makes more sense. The Ridgid brushless circular saw makes for a great example as does the Ridgid R4221 12-inch miter saw. RIDGID Tool Reviews in the Hands of Pros The reviews below cover most of the major RIDGID power tools found on the market today. Since we have the staff to take on hundreds of tool reviews each year, we make sure to get our hands on as many RIDGID tools as possible. For great deals on RIDGID Power tools, check out this link.

Ridgid Roofing Cutter Review R040SCA

by Clint DeBoer

One of the most difficult parts of doing a new roof (there are so many to choose from) is cutting away the shingles that you run over the side of the drip edge as you make your way up the roof. Typically you do this with a combination of hook or straight blades, depending upon whether you’re cutting from the front or backside of the shingles. Ridgid’s new Pneumatic Roofing Cutter sets out to provide a way to use the air line you’ve already got run to the roof and simplify a job that was previously quite tedious and which required several blade changes to accomplish.

Ridgid micro CA-300 Inspection Camera Preview

by Clint DeBoer

We’re big fans of the inspection camera, having reviewed several on PTR. They allow home inspectors, plumbers, appraisers, HVAC technicians and electricians document and troubleshoot problems with an ease that was impossible before the advent of LED and micro-camera technology. Ridgid’s newest inspection camera, the micro CA-300 is the company’s next evolution of the microEXPLORER family. You can record both still images and videos of problems in hard-to reach areas and then share these findings with the RIDGIDConnect solution. On top of that, an embedded microphone means that you can also document your video with live commentary, so your notes are more complete.

Ridgid SmartCart Vacuum WD7000 Review

by Clint DeBoer

I wouldn’t have thought that a shop vac would get me excited. After all, they are nothing new and have been helping do-it-yourselfers and professionals clean up jobsites for years. But, winter is here and I find myself engaging in a lot of clean-up around the house lately. After using a traditional shop vac for several years and suffering the poor ergonomic design of the vacuums in general, I was excited to see a new form factor hit the market. Ridgid has quite possibly redesigned the genre by producing their WD7000 Smart Cart vacuum that offers, among other things, complete accessory storage and increased maneuverability. This is a very new kind of shop vac – and it’s broken the mold.
