Deals like these are why I went with Ridgid. Maybe they're not always best (although this tool is their crown jewel and has a legitimate claim to one of the best high torque) but they're always damn good tools and if you're patient enough you can get everything you want at bottom tier tool prices. Definitely cementing itself as the best bang for your buck brand.

A lot of people don't want/can't justify paying for top tier but also don't want cheap garbage. Ridgid is the brand for folks like that. I used to be a fan of Kobalt, but their deals are so sporadic and vary based on location that it can be frustrating. Hercules new brushless line up intrigues me, but until they've proven themselves Ridgid is king in this market. The LSA is just the icing on the cake.

Wow, 5 years, good for them. That warranty is apparently new and only applies to certain tools, others are just 90 days.

There's really few problems with LSA, as long as people follow through on the registration. And when the batteries wear out, all batteries eventually do, a simple phone call gets new ones sent on their way.


Factory Blems from DTO can be registered for the LSA. There's even a DTO selection on the registration form for where it was purchased. And even though it says to mail in the receipt, I've always just uploaded it and if the registration hasn't processed in a few weeks, just send them a note asking them to review it and it goes right through.

It was difficult to stay away from this deal... and I failed. Now I have to figure out how i am going to get rid of my extra sander. 2 tools 30$ cheaper than the 1 tool 3 days before.

And a hi-torque steal that will probably just to sit around until I need to break some...Loose.

SD strikes again.

Love that mini router. Sander is just fair, but really good deal on the router.
Man I wish they had just the router. That sander is horrible. I have it and can't even stand to use it. It walks all over the piece I'm working on.

Amazing deal on the batteries, but sold out. At least I got the HD deal for the 6ah and 4ah max output batteries.

I'm tempted on the framing nail gun, but I don't even work in construction and have most ridigd tools... though I do like to do work in the house and learn lol
I'm kinda in the same boat, I just do minor reno work to my house. I bought the brad nailer before and I just tell myself that I'll just swing a hammer the few times I actually need to "frame".

Would this be a suitable substitute for air tools on car lug nuts or is it still too underpowered? Starting to get tired of lugging my air hose around.

a bit overpowered actually. This is more industrial use. You can take nuts off, but i would never put them on with a wrench this high powered.

I had save some money on this site. Everything I have bought from here, the factory blemishes, they didn't even had a scratch. Bought 2 4ah batteries last time like for $43 bucks, and the package wasn't even opened. You have to check constantly because they always put stuff on sale.

Does anyone know if the router and sander come separate retail boxes or if both are in one box?

did 1,500ftlbs sound "too underpowered"..? what are you using right now if that's underpowered..?

you shouldn't, ever, be putting lugs back on with a gun anyway... get out the torque wrench.

Got the current high torque impact this winter. Used it, so I can't return it. Considering ordering this and the subcompact for tight spots and trying to sell my high impact for $100 or so locally. Have plenty of batteries, so I won't really miss the 4ah if I have to send it with the wrench.

Think it's worth it?
