Community Reviews

This RIDGID 18V eight tool combo is a solid starter kit for new homeowners or DIY projects, especially if you want a broad cordless setup without paying for premium brushless tools. The kit is described as brushed, but it still gets credit for strong value, lighter subcompact drill driver size, and RIDGID's lifetime coverage when registered. The batteries and tools are also described as holding up well over years of heavy use. The main cautions are the registration requirement for lifetime coverage, the fact that LSA is not the same as a warranty, and the circular saw and charger may not be the standout pieces. A practical budget bundle if you want to build out a tool collection.

Ridgid coverage can include lifetime service terms when registration requirements are met.

The kit can work well as a starter set for new homeowners and DIY projects around the house.

Long-term use reportedly kept the tools and batteries running strong after heavy use.

The non-brushless design may be acceptable for budget-focused DIY buyers who do not need premium brushless performance.
StTroyIII

The tools are not brushless, which can limit expectations for power and battery life versus brushless models.
wwjrd StTroyIII
Lifetime coverage can require registration within a short window, and lifetime terms are not the same as a warranty.
morbie wwjrd
The kit may be missing a flashlight, which can reduce convenience for darker work areas.
eeagle
The charger can fail quickly when registration is not completed, which can disrupt charging availability.

Common Questions (5)

No, these tools are brushed, not brushless. That means they are a more basic budget option rather than the higher-power, longer-runtime brushless version some shoppers expect.
wwjrd StTroyIII philipag
The kit has a 3-year warranty regardless, and LSA lifetime coverage applies only if you register within 90 days of purchase. The lifetime coverage is not a warranty per se, so it is important to register everything and keep proof.
wwjrd morbie mrstangblb
Yes, it is a practical starter set for a new homeowner or DIYer because it covers a wide range of basic cordless tools at a budget price. It can also help you figure out which tools you actually use before buying higher-end or corded versions.
iandyli StTroyIII wwjrd
Yes, a flashlight is included in the kit. The bundle also avoids filler items like a jobsite speaker, which makes the tool count more useful for a starter set.
bas157 eeagle
The tools and batteries can hold up well with heavy use over years, but the charger may fail sooner. One long-term owner reported the circular saw was not their go-to tool, but the rest of the set still ran strong.

No question- just a statement. They do have a lifetime warranty.

Brushless value is very low. In a nutshell they will break fast, light use only.

there was a deal a few weeks back for a 439 clearance DeWalt tool chest on wheels and a number of tools. Is this Ridgid a better deal?

I second this. With brushless, you're supposed to get more power, longer battery life, and the drill/driver on the subcompacts are much smaller and lighter weight. I'd say this is a pretty good budget set for diy projects around the house, if you don't have these tools yet or want to upgrade from Ryobi or something.

Yes, it was the first thing I checked because apparently it is a big difference. I didn't know they still made brushed tools but I always check.

Ridgid warranty has been good to me the one time I used it, but you need to remember to register it or you do not get lifetime. The lifetime is not a warranty per se based on some technicality. So just register everything.

Ridgids warranty is why I went with them. I'm not sure on the economics of it, but it says they clearly believe in their products.

If you're just starting out and need a variety of tools this is a great value to let you figure out what your needs may actually be. You very well might find out you simply dont need battery tools for something and prefer the high power corded versions so you don't fuss with batteries running out.

I think that you're overstating the risk of failure.

I've been using Lithium Ion power tools for 20 years now for all kinds of home projects and none of them have ever broken. I've had two batteries fail due to a bad Ryobi charger. That's it. My Bosch drill and batteries are still going strong nearly 20 years later, as are a Craftsman cordless electric mower, like a dozen Ryobi tools and random other stuff.
