Iron Man’s Favorite Brand of Pipe Wrench is…

May 17, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

In Iron Man 2, there is a scene where Tony Stark wields a rather large pipe wrench to turn a valve. If you’ve watched the movie, did you catch the tool’s brand? It was a Ridgid branded aluminum pipe wrench.

Grinders & Sanders

Ridgid Oscillating Edge Belt and Spindle Sander

Apr 23, 2010 Stuart 9 Comments

Ridgid’s oscillating edge belt and spindle sander (EB4424) is an example of a somewhat gimmicky design that is done right. This 2-in-1 sander can be used to sand both straight edges and curves, and features a 4″ x 24″ belt and set of five sanding drums.

Ridgid AC9955 SuperClamp Triton Superjaws Portable Work Station

New Tools

Ridgid SuperClamp Portable Clamping Work Station

Apr 9, 2010 Stuart 15 Comments

Ridgid just came out with the SuperClamp, robust mobile clamping workstation. The Superclamp has a solid array of user-friendly features, and bears an extremely close resemblance to Triton’s venerable Superjaws workbench. With a jaw capacity of 37-1/2″, and a foot operated clamp capable of exerting 2,000 pounds of force, the SuperClamp will be definitely be a strong competitor to Rockwell’s Jawhorse.

Bosch & Ridgid Slim Grip Small Angle Grinders

Apr 9, 2010 Stuart 7 Comments

I don’t know about you, but except for a chain saw, an angle grinder is about the last thing I want to be more compact and slim. It looks as though I’m in the minority here as both Bosch and Ridgid offer small slim grip angle grinders. Maybe they’re on to something after all.

Ridgid JobMax Teaser Advertisement

Mar 12, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Reader and frequent commenter uthscsaedu sent us this photo of an advertisement board he spotted at his local Home Depot. The board is promoting pre-order sales of Ridgid’s new JobMax combo kit, which are supposed to be released this month. Has anyone seen the tools in-store yet, and if so, what did you think about them? […]

Updates & Video of Ridgid JobMax Multi-Head Tools

Feb 12, 2010 Stuart 9 Comments

Since we first posted about Ridgid’s new JobMax multi-head cordless tool system, we’ve learned a number of things. First, there will only be two cordless combo sets available at launch, one that that includes the three most popular and commonly used tools, and another right-angle set with tools intended for use in close quarters.  We talked about […]

Ridgid 1/2″ and Hammer Drill Deals!

Dec 29, 2009 Stuart 2 Comments

Over at Amazon, Ridgid’s 1/2″ drill and a 1/2″ hammer drill are priced considerably lower than at Home Depot and other Ridgid distributors. This could be a temporary sale or price drop, but maybe we’ll see more price drops as part of an end-of-the-year sale. Ridgid R7111 8-Amp 1/2″ Drill (Amazon – $57 at the time of this posting) […]

Ridgid Tools Now Available on Amazon

Aug 4, 2009 Stuart 3 Comments

We were quite surprised to see Ridgid tools amongst the selection at Amazon yesterday as we searched for a new sander. While refurbished Ridgid tools and certain specialty tools have been available, mostly via 3rd party vendors, for a while now, this is the first time we’ve seen new mainstream Ridgid tools sold directly by […]

Ridgid Portable Compressor – Quick to Tempt, Hard to Find!

Dec 29, 2008 Stuart 6 Comments

Many Ridgid power tools are so well designed that I sometimes wonder why they’re not more popular than they are. Ridgid’s 4.5 gallon twin stacked compressor is a great example of how Ridgid’s tools are often underhyped. This compressor had so many great features – from the beautifully well spaced control panel, to the easy-access drain valve, high quality […]
