Customer Reviews

Misleading warranty
My issue is not so much with these current products as with Rigids warranty. I just returned from Home Depot with some of my Rigid products. I was informed that it is NOT a lifetime warranty, only a service agreement. That service agreement is only valid if you register it immediately, and then it is up to Rigid if they will cover it. You have to send them in, through HD, and they will decide if it is covered. I am currently looking at upgrading all my cordless tools to one manufacturer, and am sadly disappointed by what I am finding in customer service. While their products may be okay, their warranty is not what it appears to be. Buyer beware!

Awesome Power Tool Combo!
I bought this combo for a kitchen remodel job and love it. Tools are solid, and the batteries last forever! Seriously, the charges on the Lithium Ion batteries last longer than any other technology I've ever owned. I have had Milwaukee, Makita, Porter Cable etc. all with NiCad or NiMh batteries - but this set outlasts them all! The other NiCad batteries only lasted a few years before you had to buy replacements, which cost as much as the tool itself. With a lifetime warranty on both the tools AND the batteries, how can you go wrong? As for the other reviewer saying these are heavy, I guess that depends on your point of reference...my Porter Cable circular is a tank and weighs as much, so these feel feather light by comparison, they are very powerful and have solid construction that should test Ridgid's LIFETIME WARRANTY! BTW, mine came with a snazzy 45 degree twisting Compact Florescent Light (CFL) rather than the light pictured here. The light is free-standing and should last 20 years at least. My only wish is that the set had the matching cordless Jigsaw rather than the compact impact driver (which I don't use that often), but I picked up the jigsaw separately for $89 at HD. I love my Ridgid R963 X3 5 piece 18-V LION tool set...and expect it to last decades! Pick one up today, you won't be disappointed.

Ridgid X3 Good, but Heavy!!
What do I consider heavy, especially for a hand drill? If my arm starts shaking 45 seconds after holding it out with a straight arm then it is heavy.

Well worth the search!
This particular combo kit has been discontinued by the manufacturer, but it can still be located on-line. The tools in the kit are all upgrades to those tools now sold. Much stronger assembly; less plastic and more hard rubber, etc. You cannot purchase all of the component parts on an individual basis.
