Been looking for a 7 1/4 circular saw and some other tools on sale. On the hunt ever since i had a great family loss and all my tools were stolen… this isn't for me, but not a bad starter set it seems.

If I could go back I would have gotten this instead of a Ryobi set. Lifetime service agreement has so much upside. Batteries worn out? You get new ones. They don't make those anymore? You get the better ones. Brushed motors wore out? You get new ones. They don't make them anymore? You get the better ones!

Nice set, but keep in mind it is brushed.

Even pros used brushed for decades. They are still great tools. If you are a casual DIYer it'll take years and years to get to the point where brushed tools wear down compared to brushless.

I own a Ridgid brushed drill and impact driver and both are great. I also own Ryobi tools which are still very good but you can tell Ridgid is a little better.

This seems like a good price for those that want to get into the Ridgid system. About 60 bucks each for 4 good tools isn't bad for Ridgid.

Sorry that your tools got stolen and the other bad things that sound like happened OP!

Edit: Why the eff would someone downvote this? WTF is wrong with people

What does that imply functionally? Keeping in mind the lifetime service agreement

Brushless tools use less battery power and are generally more powerful.

Highly recommended for a homeowner who will do work around the house or hopes to learn how to do work around the house. Ridgid tools are middle of the pack as far as quality, but are more than good enough for your average DIY work. Maybe the biggest benefit of using Ridgid tools is that you can get factory blemished tools for dirt cheap via Direct Tools Outlet (DTO). That being said, make sure you read the threads about about DTO before buying during a "sale". They are infamous for being deceptive with their "sales." (i.e. they claim it is a sale, but the items aren't any cheaper than before the sale).

The battery life is a lot better. I was reading Q&A on the Home Depot website and people were asking questions about the lifetime warranty, every answer from Ridgid was given a indirect answer, you can go read them, kinda sketchy. They are basically avoiding answering the questions.

Most don't appreciate difference between brushed and brushless. Latter being a lot more $$, 2x, 3x more.

If the deal looks too good, double check if brushless.

Nothing wrong with brushed, but it won't last more than 5 years of light use. If you're just screwing wood nails a few a year, then it will last much longer.

It's really the financially smarter thing to do if you mainly need a few of their tools. However, as a DIY homeowner I just hacked the Milwaukee impact driver and hammer drill set with 2 5.0 batteries and charger for $250. Though 2 5.0 batteries are overkill versus the 4.0 and 2.0 that Ridgid comes with for these drills, I find myself using some bigger tools like blower, string trimmers, 15mm car polisher, top of the line impact wrench, or hackzall. Not sure if Ridgid makes these other products pretty solid but Milwaukee often times has good deals on hacks or tools that the price is the same as Ridgid or Ryobi. Only thing Ridgid beats Milwaukee is heavily is the lifetime guarantee, but I don't imagine tools crapping out for homeowners for at least 10+ years under light use.

Probably lawyers keeping liability low. But anecdotally, I haven't heard of nightmare scenarios of them not honoring their lifetime warranty.
