It can do the job, but will refill quickly. maybe only a few framing nails before it needs to refill the 1 gallon tank
No way!
Not that I know of. I don't know if Ridgid tools are sold overseas (220v), if they are they would have a 220v charger. If you do a search online for "Step down transformer" in images, you will see plenty of 220v plug in units that output 120v for the US battery charger to plug into . The US Ridgid battery charger is rated at 110watts, which is not very much current, so you could most likely use a Travel converter that has that rating or higher (which is much less power than a hair dryer would use.) I bought an auto inverter for about $30 on Amazon which can plug into my car's lighter socket that allows me to plug in the Ridgid charger and charge batteries while I'm driving around. Just make sure that the inverter has a rating of more than 110 watts. I hope this helps. It is a fine and quiet compressor, and great for filling up tires or running small nail or brad guns.
I'm thinking you mean 120 volt instead of 220 volt and no Ridgid does not make an adapter nor do they approve of rigging a battery with a AC cable adapter to convert power tools over but if you choose to do so there are videos on YouTube
Yes, there are 220 volt chargers available for Ridgid batteries. Home Depot doesn't carry them.
To charge batteries?
It’s possible because AEG is the same product sold overseas and from what I know the voltage is 220 volt. I don’t know how you can get one here but possibly on eBay in the UK.
Hi Larry. We only have the 120v powered chargers for North America. Thanks for asking. Greg
Probably, with the open back design there's about 4" clearance for the batteries.
It only takes 4 and 5 amp 18 volt batteries
Yes, this unit is compatible with the 18-Volt Hyper Octane 6.0 AH Battery.
Hi Madbark, There should not be an issue with the new battery fitting. Thanks for asking. Greg
Sorry I’ve never tried the 6 ah battery! Runs fairly long on (2) 5 ah batteries
I don’t think so. I recently checked online and found that 2 5:0 batteries is the max. It works well with the 5’s
madbark - sorry, but I don't own one of these batteries yet, but...referring to the Home Depot site, pulling up this exact battery, a few people have asked the question if this battery will work on all Ridgid 18 volt tools, and so far the answers are yes. Hope this helps. David
I do not have any 6 AH batteries 18v. It fits all 18V Ridgid batteries I have so if 6 AH batteries have same mount as all the rest it will work.
I use 2- 5 AH ones for mine, so I wouldn’t think it would be an issue. The newer battery is probably only slightly taller. The slots the batteries fit into the back of the compressor are high enough off the floor to accommodate it.
Yes it will! See my attached image.
No it does not. it only works for small jobs, no production.
Thank you for asking, Lalo. This air compressor does not put out enough CFM for it to work with a texture hopper. I hope this helps and we appreciate your interest in Ridgid! -Keri
No this compressor would not work with the hopper two totally different compresses
Hello! While the Ridgid battery air compressor is great for things like inflating tires and small "bursts" of air, just take into consideration a few things. How much air pressure does your hopper require to operate? Read the specifications on both the hopper and the Ridgid compressor and compare them. Just remember, the Ridgid battery operated air compressor only has a 1 gallon air tank. You can blow through that in no time if you're set for 90 psi on the compressor. Do some specification caparisons for the hopper you have and the Ridgid air compression, then make your best call.
Ive never used a texture hopper with mine, but it should work fine for small repairs. Has plenty of power power
Yes. And also once air is in the tank it'll quit down a little bit.
Mine hasn't.
Hi Nick, The sound of the compressor can get louder or quieter depending on the room size and material. At testing the the sound it at the correct level. Thanks for asking. Greg
I was surprised by how quiet it was when I first got it. I don't think it's gotten any less noisy, but I have certainly gotten more used to the sound. I've never thought of it as overly noisy.
It's pretty quiet, I'm been positively surprised
zero-zilch-nada....NO batteries come with the compressor. Nothing was mentioned on both the RIDGID or HOME DEPOT sites, nor even on the box the compressor is packaged/arrives/sold in, about what type of battery(amps) it required...when I bought mine. When it arrived, I tried to charge it w/ two of my 2-amp batts. and it stopped charging at 25psi. That is when I scanned the owner's manual & discovered that this was the ONLY place I found recommending using only 4-amp or 5-amp batteries!
This is a bare tool that does not come with batteries or a charger. It will work with any orange 18 volt Ridgid battery. If you also need a drill and/or driver, look for a combo kit for extra savings.
The Ridgid 18 volt compressor is currently available as a bare tool or with an upgrade kit that includes one battery (2.0Ah) and a charger.
This item uses 1 or 2 RIDGID 18V batteries.
Hi Trent, This is a bare tool and does not come with the batteries and charger, Thanks for asking. Greg
Yes good one nailer
Hi Jay, Please check the compressor requirements for the floor nailer you are using. Some will require a larger air storage tank. Thanks for your interest. Greg
Yes. It sure would. I'd run dual 4.0 batteries at a minimum though.
Can't say for sure, not having used mine for anything yet, (other than to air up some tires) but mine aired up to almost 150-psi first time I installed 2 fully charged 4-amp batteries....so...I'm thinking that even 120-psi(you can adjust the outgoing pressure to your needs) would be adequate to power a floor nailer. Keeping in mind that the tank is only a 1-gallon capacity, it will likely need to re-charge the tank...often. This might limit how many nails you can shoot in non-stop?
It will handle the PSI requirements, but will probably cycle a lot due to the size of the tank. I put down a few hundred feet of baseboard and shoe moulding and worked great.
Yes, you can use this to blow compressed air through your sprinkler lines and winterize them.
No earthly idea, but mine charged up to 150psi first time I charged the tank, w/ two 4-amp batteries. FYI - your 2-amp batts. that operate all of the other RIDGID tools will NOT work on this compressor...only 4-amp & 5-amp!
Ummmmm, have you seen the compressors the pros use to blow out a sprinkler sys? They tow them behind their trucks. This is a 1 gallon compressor. I suppose it would work if you started blowing right after the frost let out and maybe you'll have an empty system by the time it's ready to freeze again. I've done my system for years with a 20 gal and it takes hours given the air capacity. Cynicism aside, no, don't blow your sprinkler out with it if you want it to work the next time you use it.
I winterize RV, but need take a time and two 5AH (4AH) battery and may be more extra depend diameter lines.
Hi GardenMan, This may not be large enough to clear out a sprinkler system. The holding tank may not give you the pressure you need if it is a large system. Thanks for your interest. Greg
