      Answer This Question

      All of my batteries R max lithium. I have 2ah-12ah. I have had no problems with swapping between ridgid tools except 2ah-4ah you have to pay more attention to alinement before sliding the battery. The 12ah is to tall for some tools, ie w/d vac.

            Several of my Ridged batteries won't slide and lock in. Only a 2Ah and 6Ah. One is an Octane, one is not. I also have some 3 and 4Ah units that don't seem compatible. Is this a known issue?

              Answer This Question

              The jobsite blower does not have power to remove snow. Loose snow on windshield maybe. I liked the ridgid blower, but return it because nosel hose is short. No attachment is offered. 3 stars

                        I own a dozen or more Ridgid tools. The quality and lifetime warranty make them a no brainer for me. This small blower has incredible power. You won’t be disappointed.

                        Good not great
                        Good part: I use mine everyday to keep hard surfaces free of dirt and organics like leaves. Works well for that. I added a length of PVC pipe to the black discharge tube to extend the air discharge point so as not to have to stoop, problem solved. Use duct tape on the end of the PVC to provide a snug fit into the black discharge tube end. That way you can still remove the PVC tube if you wish. Not great part: The first blower of two I own has had issues. I purchased it in 2021. First the variable speed control quit in 2023 and was repaired via Ridgid’s LSA. Early in 2025 the fan assembly/impeller started to ‘disassemble’ itself while running. The fan blade edges have come loose from the two flanges that the blades are sandwiched between/attached to. It clicks and pops while stopping after running at full speed. (Part of one blade also broke off.) If loose blades occur to yours Do Not attempt to epoxy the loose blade ends to the flanges like I did because it will VOID the LSA per fine print in LSA literature. If they see evidence that you attempted repair they’ll just send it back to you untouched, according to the Ridgid LSA rep. Send it in ‘as is’ via LSA for repair. Finding a new, replacement fan has been a pain too. It’s a hard to find part, mostly on back order. Part number 360 801 001. Wonder if Ridgid even has easy access to this part?

                            Hello, Rigidshopblower - We are sorry to read about your unsatisfactory experience with the tool-only purchase! We offer this purchasing option so customers who already have the battery and charger can purchase just the tool at a lower price. However, it sounds like the kit version (tool + battery + charger) would be a better option for you. And if you're interested in this kit, then simply search for model number R86043KSBN on HomeDepot.com or utilize the link below. We hope this helps!

                              It’s compact but the hose too short
                              It should come with an extend hose, the blower is powerful enough to clean the floor but it’s so short and I have to bend myself to get close to the floor, I wish it comes with an extend hose or option to buy, I ended up make my own extender

                              Nice little blower. It's much too small for blowing leaves across your lawn, but it's great for blowing sawdust out of the garage and inflating blow-up mattresses. I bought it on sale for $40, and at that price it's a steal!

                                Small, but powerful
                                This blower is very light and maneuverable. It is great for the garage shop and it is pretty good for drying the car in small areas. Batteries don't last very long, but they last long enough for my use. It is smaller than it appears in pictures so don't expect to use this for blowing leaves or grass, etc. This is meant for very small jobs and it shoots out air in a very strong push.

                                  Love this little blower! Took it on a camping trip, and used it for: 1) Blowing off the outdoor carpet we had by the door of our tent. 2) Blowing out your tent before taking it down! Planning to use it for: 1) Blowing out the garage and trailers. 2) Blowing off the patios and driveway. 3) Inflating all our inflatables. 4) Helping start a camp fire! (-: Makes you SMILE when you pull the trigger! (-: Looks like a toy, but it is waaay more powerful than you can imagine! Recommend you buy one!

                                    Works great for truck drivers!
                                    This little blower surprised me! I wanted something a little more thorough for cleaning my trailer out between loads. This blower does much better than my broom... and it's so much faster! I love how compact it is, also. I keep it in the cab of my truck, by the seat. This way i can quickly clean the floor, if i need to. It works better than the air nozzle in the truck. Great little addition to the truck! Many uses, high power, and compact.

                                    Good blower
                                    Blower works great for quick cleanup jobs like the porch, garage, driveway, and the back of a truck. Currently my gas leaf blower is not working, I used this one twice while I get around to fixing gas blower. It goes through batteries like crazy for extended jobs. I have 3 4ah batteries and needed all 3 to finish blowing after cutting grass. I don't have a big yard. Plus I'm 6'1" and this blower is really small. I have to bend down in order to get the job done. I read other reviews and they hinted that it works great for a leaf blower. It does not. I need to fix my gas blower. Again, it does work for quick small jobs, which is why I still kept it.
