is anyone having on of switch or speed knob problems with the r86240b multi tool if yes in the answer this question put your first name only and a yes if having problems to let ridgid know of this problem with this tool thanks hope they fix it
Yes the power switch and at times the speed dial walks a bit. I sent it in for warranty repair waited like 2-3 and it was returned unfixed and not looked at at all. They told me that when I picked it up. So disgusted .
Yes, the on/off switch became very difficult. It finally just broke. Trying to arrange for replacement or repair
Yes on a 2 week old multi tool
Yes, on/off switch has gotten harder to use and speed dial has no resistance so it adjusts unintentionally from the vibrations as you use it. Still a good tool, but needs improvements.
How do I know if I'm buying the tool with the upgraded switch, and not paying $700 for a 9pc set that cones with a bad tool ?
Yes my power switch is also stuck. It is super hard to turn the tool on. I can only turn mine on with a screw driver at this point.
YES Switch was very difficult to slide since day 1. It completely crapped out today after very minimal use. Didn't register it when purchased 5 months ago. Just ate $100.00 NOT TASTY! Guess that's why it's usually on sale for $99.
Yea. I. Having problems with the on off switch
Yes my power switch broke today. I?ve only used the tool 3 or 4 times. Yesterday I had a hard time turning it off.
Yes
