I own a lot of Ridgid cordless and corded tools, my shop wall is mostly orange... I ordered this one in haste, but just cancelled it. My reason is pretty simple: tools like this that have long-term, high power demands rip through batteries in minutes, then overheat, forcing you to use the corded version. Unless you have a very niche, 10-minute use case for this tool, wait for a better deal or just pay less for a corded one that can go all day.

Definitely not! If you are refinishing a floor, you'll need an actual floor sander. You can rent them from lots of places. Do some research first though. You could very easily destroy a floor if you start sanding without learning the process first

I bought bare tool for 80-90 last holiday season. I used to help strip chipped paint from part of my deck. I haven't used a belt sander before but my expectation was this thing would be able to chew through whatever I wanted. That was not the case. I ended up getting a diamond blade thing for my grinder to take a layer off, then ROS from there to get to the bare cedar. I didn't try this with a vac hooked up and am not sure that would have turned it from a disappointment into a success

Is this a good tool to sand down wooden floors that are level, not warped or heavily damaged?

If you need serious power to sand things level or just for heavy general use, I'd suggest getting a corded sander. I've been waiting for the corded Rigid to go on sale... no luck. Also, for large jobs, that battery will never get you through. Will need multiple batteries or to wait while charging.

Sort of. Will it work? Yes. And I *might* consider it if it were just one small room. But if not, go to home depot or menards and rent the floor sander. If you're able to run a lawn mower (goes a little fast sometimes but if you let go it stops) you can do it.

The 4.0Ah battery is a good deal (right now) at 2 for $99. It was better before when it included extras (charger and/or bag) but at the moment I'd say $50 for a 4.0Ah battery is a good price. That would make it $90 for the new sander if you value the battery.

Before ordering I looked and DTO was $82.49 for the factory blemished and the flat $10 shipping would make it $92.49. If you value the battery then Home Depot would be the better deal again. I was already wanting to buy the 2x 4.0Ah batteries for $99 but I didn't think I really *needed* two. One makes me happy. Tool-only is $129, I thought of it as $10 more for a 4.0Ah battery, not quite free. Would a deal like that come up often, Brushless belt sander tool + free 4.0Ah battery?

I ordered first and thought about it second. I still feel good about the purchase but it made me realize how niche my need is. I am a hobbyist working out of my half of a two-car garage with a single power outlet. Reviews say I can get about 20 minutes on a 4.0Ah battery, others like those in this post say it can be as low as 10 minutes. I think that will jive for my use. I don't need to worry about blowing that damn fuse while running the shopvac along with a 6.5A belt sander on my single fuse.

Since I was in the market for both a belt sander and a battery I believe it's a good deal. I'm glad to have the LSA as well. I have one question about the LSA and the battery: Could I use the serial number on my old 4.0Ah battery (assuming it's the same exact model) when registering the LSA? That battery is likely to need replacing sooner than the new one.

I picked up this deal before it was even posted, I used it to sand off and smoothen the subfloor (had some prior contamination) before laying the underlayment and actual hardwood. Held up very well with one 4.0Ah battery. The $99 2 pack battery is a good value as well. I have the corded one too but is reserved for more power hungry purposes. I was deciding between this, Ryobi, and Kobalt. Couldn't do Kobalt due to no free battery promo. Numerous negative reviews on the Ryobi belt slipping off. Ridgid was a win. Got too anxious when I received it; the sander ended up making contact with my left little finger peeling off part of my skin; could have been worse. You're supposed let the machine do the work for you, don't put too much pressure on the sander while it's in operation

Wish dewalt would come out with one already... I Have a corded belt sander if i need long run times but these would be great for quick jobs.

Assuming that your old 4.0 is not LSA: I would not do it.

If you were to use the serial number of your old 4.0, then your new battery would not be covered. In either case, one battery would not be covered.

Why take the risk that that LSA will somehow know that the serial number on your old 4.0 was made before they started allowing batteries to be covered by LSA?

Makes more sense now to pick up the factory blemished one from DTO and add the 2 pack 4.0Ah batteries as well, comes out to around the same price before tax and shipping
