Slapping in a new Bosch Demo blade, we powered through plywood, cement board, mortar, and heaven knows what else, to extend our hole and fit the offset flange securely in place. Ridgid has really delivered a lot of power in this reciprocating saw.
The lever-activated adjustable shoe served us well, especially with this last task, as it allowed us to maintain positive contact while limiting the plunge of the blade so as to not chew up the edges of our pipe below. We also liked the Grip Light which worked in a momentary fashion, to light up the work surface as long as our hands grasped the tool. Overall, this was one of our favorite tools to use and has quickly become a product we reach for over much of the competition.
Ridgid decided to do two things right. First, it utilized an LED light source — almost unheard of, despite our repeated criticisms of standard lamp technology in these kits. Secondly, this light is actually pretty useful and flexible. This means it can harness the power of the Cree LED to immerse an entire room with light, or simply focus a more high-intensity beam on a particular location.
It does this by using a single LED light source, but rotating the cylindrical housing degrees to change the focus mechanism for the light. Since you can rotate the beam up or down, this gives you some flexibility. In our sample it was a bit tough to push it into place. The charger that comes with this kit is the R, which charges both Li-ion and NiCd sled-style batteries from Ridgid.
Plug the unit in and the green power LED comes on — big and bright. Insert a battery and the charging LED blinks green while the battery itself lights up its charge status LED red and blinks to let you know where it is in the charging process.
This is a 30 minute charge, so after the required time was up, the Charging light turned solid green and the tool showed a full 4 bars in red. In this case Ridgid should be very much puffed up and pleased with itself. The tools are strong, innovative and they just make sense. Instead, shout it from the rooftops, run some ads on TV, have your tools pimped out in massive endcaps where users can get their hands on them.
