18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless 5-Tool Combo Kit with (1) 2.0 Ah and (1) 4.0 Ah Battery, 18-Volt Charger, and Bag

This was one of two 5 tool bundles I bought from The Home Depot. A Makita XT505 and this RIDGID 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless 5-Tool Combo Kit with (1) 2.0 Ah and (1) 4.0 Ah Battery, 18-Volt Charger, and Bag one. waiting to compare the two kits I watched and read all the specific tool reviews for each I could find. The Makita arrived and while I liked it very much The Rigid won out. Includes: (1) R86116 Brushless Hammer Drill/Driver, (1) R86038 Impact Driver, (1) R8643 Reciprocating Saw, (1) R8653 Circular Saw, (1) R8693 LED Worklight, (1) R840086 2.0 Ah Battery, (1) R840087 4.0 Ah Battery, (1) R840095 18-Volt Charger, (1) Contractor's Bag, bits and blades, and operator's manuals The Home Depot reviewer Chris said it best so I won't rehash About Tool warranty (LSA Works) http://www.realtoolreviews.com/faq-tool-warranty-what-you-need-to-know/ Real Tool Reviewer on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/dmcguinn1/search?query=Rigid+Brushless AvE Fun to watch reviewer https://youtu.be/ZTqMGo-AxVc https://youtu.be/-b7ORqBtHVM I could have spent 4 times the cash on comparable Makita that would edge out the Rigid (maybe). Or at the $340.94 I paid for this package Rigid was a no brainier. I bought Rigids dual charger 2 battery kit and a few other 18v tools today as it is out with the old in with new. The LSA may be a bit of a work and time but anything worthwhile always is. I take care of my tools. If you don’t have time to do it right how can you find time to do it over. I’m not a fast as possible charge kind of guy. I know about Li-ion battery technology as I am also an electronics technician. Li-ion batteries have a flat discharge curve and when it starts to drop it’s all over. Pull a spare out of your bag and go back at it. If you are serious about Li-ions learn about what you have. The impact R86038 and drill/screw/hammer R86116 may not be top Rigid performers but the reciprocating and circular certainly are. See my photos for the exact models in this kit. In closing if Rigid stand behind what they engineer with a LSA. I am only sorry I didn’t get a dust extraction adapter possibility on my circular saw. I know how to add one tool that takes that into account if I really want it. Time will tell if I made the right choice.

Well I really loved the while set but 3 days after buying to redo the house I bought somebody decided to break in while i was gone and stole this brand new kit plus my Hitachi sawzaw and bit kit. So the 3 days I had I like it!

The impact driver was not the model pictured, it was the older one with led light at base. Wonderful product at a great price. Ridgid is definitely the way to go.

fantastic set i love this brand

Great toolset! Heavy duty and well built. Wish rigid would add another 4ah battery with the kit. Overall very happy.

I have been rebuilding an old barn for the last two months and every thing has worked great.
