TylerDama Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 The other day my 12v ridgid finally died, after countless drops from the tops of ladders, lifts(once was from over 19'), and tool carts she has died. Not sure if it is worth trying the warranty or not.
DR99 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 It probably is. I think most Home Depot tool rental areas handle Ridgid warranty service now. They do have a 2 piece 12v impact driver and drill kit now. I won't hurt as bad if you have to get a replacement. http://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-12-Volt-Hyper-Lithium-Ion-Drill-Driver-and-Impact-Driver-Combo-Kit-R9000SB/205374283 1
rfwjr Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 All they can say is "No". But if they say yes then you are not out the replacement cost.
madman_us Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 I would give it a try - nothing to loose
TylerDama Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Posted October 14, 2014 yeah I brought it to the tool rental center, 6-8 weeks to get it back (if they can fix it) but honestly it held up great. DR, that is a killer deal! If there is nothing that can be done with the Ridgid I may start to look at the M12 fuel... 1
Bigmikez Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 I'm just beginning on my m12 and lovin it Tyler u won't regret it man 1
DR99 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 The M12 Fuel is a wicked impact. I hardly ever use the 18 volt version anymore.
Bigmikez Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 They feel pretty good I only have the hacksaw now but hopefully I will be expanding that in the next few months
madman_us Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 u will see some good deals in the new month
madman_us Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 im at HD tmw and ill check out what M12 tools they got there.ordered also 2 new Bosch items from HD - were on sale on sunday. ill get them in like 7 days.cant wait
Bigmikez Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Be cautious madman cus u will we be amazed at how much they offer in the m12 line
madman_us Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 I checked it out - they have a lot of variety from those m12's - but im not so impressed but I finally saw the ridgid tool boxes at HD - they are really really nice. im going to buy some during the holidays - hopefully they have a special on those
Bigmikez Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 how can u not be IMPRESSED!..... LOL IT TOOK ME AWHILE 2 I WAS SET ON THE DEWALT OR BOSCH 12V TO BUT SEEING ALL THE REVIEWS ITS HARD NOT TO BE.
madman_us Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 i don't trust the reviews i make my own opinion
Bigmikez Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 I ment YouTube reviews sorry and I don't mean those infomercials ones either
madman_us Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 youtube reviews are ok, but not the reviews on homedepot.com or amazon.com
Bigmikez Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 I know man there so cheezy with those lol
madman_us Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 those infomercials are just too funny on tv - from the little giant ladder or the special wheelbarrow....when they let people try out the wheelbarrow and they just say positive things, like oh im in the welding business for 25y and this looks like a good product. or the chiropractor; nothing to complain about...cant dmg your back or something like that lol

chadlanthier Posted October 25, 2014 Report Posted October 25, 2014 Any excuse to buy a new tool is a good onr
TylerDama Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Posted October 28, 2014 Update! I call Ridgid to see the whereabouts of my drill, and they said they are already fixing it! thanks Ridgid! 1
