Questions & Answers

How do you tighten the blade? I put the blade in according to the manual but the blade doesn't cut. It can spin by hand... not happy.

Answer This Question

Hello, Jeff - After putting the blade on the multi-tool head, lower the locking clamp to the horizontal position and slide to center on accessory base. Lower the blade release lever to engage the locking clamp and lock the accessory onto the multi-tool head. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question.

    Lets talk blades. Do you only sell multitool blades as a bundle? Can I use other blade brand with this? Will I need a special adaptor?

                  This is my first multi-tool and it cuts through wood like butter. I have it 4 stars though for the ergonomics, it does feel a little odd while holding but for a DIYer like myself it is perfect.
                  by
                  Super easy to use with the toolless blade swap. Love this tool and the whole Ridgid lineup for that matter. Great warranties too (which I've had to use before on a drill chuck).
                  by
                  This is the tool I never knew I needed. I started off with a corded oscillating tool, but used it so much I had to have the cordless. Awesome for those weird things that need to be cut. Also love that the interchangeable batteries with all my other Rigid tools.

                  Engineering Garbage
                  Absolute garbage due to engineering laziness, the Allen key and screw was the best method installing the blades. After initial install of blade the sliding clamp seized and had to hammer to move the clamp and reinstalling the blade is worse. The clamp won't budge without using drastic force which will break it.

                    Vibrating adjustment keeps breaking
                    I’ve had two of these now. First one had the vibration adjustment control break off within a year. HD replaced it. Now the replacement has done the same thing. Poor design. I can probably superglue it back on.

                    Hello, Followthebits - We're very sorry that your multi-tool is broken! It’d be great to speak with you to resolve this matter as soon as possible. If you would, will you please email us at Reviews@RIDGIDmail.com? ridgidtti
                      Let down by badly designed on off switch.
                      Buy a different brand for this tool. I've always liked Rigid tools and have enjoyed buying and using many of them. While this is a great tool initially, sadly it is let down by a badly designed switch which does not stand up to even infrequent use. For me like others the switch got progressively harder to use before breaking completely. I dismantled it to see if i could make a quick fix but found that the problem is a badly designed plastic slider which passes over a microswitch but snags on it instead of depressing it. Over time it just snaps.

                        Will break after repeated use
                        Broke after 1 year - this will happen to you as well. The on off switch is poorly engineered. After a while it will become slowly harder to move and then it will eventually break and be unable to turn on. I opened up the tool and saw great components except for the on off switch..

                          Precision work without the cord
                          A cordless version of the ubiquitous oscillating multi-tool, this Two (2) pound (tool only) offering from Ridgid offers the same functionality as corded tools but adds the additional flexibility of not being tethered by a power cord. Given the uses that these tools are used for (detail work in a variety of positions) it is a world of difference from using similar corded tools. With 3.2 degrees of oscillation and a speed of 10,000 to 20,000 oscillations per minute and the tool-free change of blades (accessories), one will be more inclined to pick up this tool instead of hacking away at a workpiece with a chisel. Provided with a general-purpose wood blade, a segment saw blade (wood or sheetrock) as well as a quick-change detail sanding pad (the triangular shape allows getting deep into corners of, for example, a drawer. I was pleased that blades from my corded (Bosch) tool fit onto this tools arbor and, although the manual only speaks of use on wood, I tried a carbide metal cutting blade with excellent results, cutting slots in a piece of 0.13-inch steel and then removing the pieces in between to form a notch. Again, with the metal blade (not supplied) I easily cut through a piece of ¾ inch EMT (which one might encounter if there were abandoned conduits in a wall that one was cutting through. See photos for the notched steel and cut EMT. Blade changes are accomplished, without the use of a tool, after first lifting the locking lever (on top of the tool) which permits toggling the blade retainer to the open position and reversing the process to secure the blade. The tool has provision for mounting a belt hanger clip (on either side of the tool), but one is not provided with the tool. Depending on your intended use (use around the home or shop versus in the field where you want it “at the ready”) this may or may not be a useful feature. This was procured as a “tool only,” no battery, as I already have other 18V Ridgid tools and can interchange batteries. I have not experienced any difficulties using any of the 18V Rigid batteries I presently have, which represent two versions of their 2Ah battery and a 6 Ah battery. Even with the 6 Ah battery (approximately 1-3/4 pounds), the balance is quite good in any position. Ridgid offers a free Lifetime Service Agreement (requiring registration, by serial and model number within 90 days of purchase). The only thing I found inconvenient when using the tool was the speed control. While the location is ideal for being able to find the “sweet spot” while operating, the detents are on the weak side and result in inadvertently changing the speed when not intending to. Other than that, it is nice to not have to do battle with a power cord and to perform precision work that, if one attempted with a receipt, otherwise would require a lot more finish work.
