RidgidMakita

I've seen them before, I like the back handle on them. Might have to pick one up if one of my Makita's get fried

Was extremely loyal to just 18v Makita tools at first. Now accumulating 4 4.0ah batteries, 10 3.0ah batteries, and 5 1.5ah. My cordless collection is all brushed which includes, 6 1/4 inch impacts, 2 hammer drills, 4 driver drills, 2 jigsaws, 2 6 1/12 circular saws, 2 reciprocating saws, 2 5 inch angle grinders, and 1 multi tool. I'm probably forgetting some. But I got given a brushless Ridgid hammer drill with two 4.0 batteries the one day love it. I was looking for a jobsite radio at Home Depot earlier this year and seen a deal if I buy a brushless impact and hammer drill combo I get the radio for free. So I was like sure, love them both. Impact is insanely powerful, radio gets good signal, puts out good sound but doesnt charge batteries that's the only draw back. So now my cordless brushless Ridgid collection in total equals too, 3 4.0ah batteries, and 3 2.0 batteries. 2 1/4 inch impacts, 2 hammer drills, radio and cordless Hyperdrive 18ga Brad Nailer. I plan on buying many more cordless brushless Ridgid tools they are very durable and really good on price. So all in all my brand loyalty was split into 2 for cordless 18v tools. But all performed beautifully to help me finish this beauty cottage this spring

Have had this Makita BO5030 sander now for about 5 years almost used daily, no speed settings but i find it's the perfect speed for sanding off of saw horses or work benches. Our company has fried 2 Milwaukee and 1 Ridgid variable speed orbitals within the past year. We've restocked with 3 more Makita BO5030's hopefully they put up the reliability as my other one.

Estwing 20oz claw hammer is my favorite. Was my first hammer 9 years ago. Have been through 3 now though, not due to breaking. One was dropped in a lake from a dock project, couldn't recover it. The second one was stolen from a jobsite over a weekend. So now I'm on number 3. Great all around hammer, I find 20oz is the perfect weight for any situation.

Gotta get myself one of those

Have had the LS108L for 4 years now. Love it best saw I've ever owned, and I've had DeWalt, Ridgid, and Milwaukee before, needed to recalibrate it once over those years. Its constantly moving from jobsite to jobsite, have it on a Ridgid MSUV stand they work really well together.

Not today but earlier this week. Bought this beauty Ridgid 18v HyperDrive Brushless 18-Gauge Brad Nailer. Loving it so far, really good on the 4.0ah batteries, been using it all day all week (9 hour days) never had to swap batteries through out a day yet. Only problem is the weight, gets a bit painstaking using it above your head all day.
