Ridgid Power Unmatched Warranty

Image
I took my Ridgid 1 year old cordless vacuum motor assembly to Emerson factory for an inspection because my vacuum switch shorted and they told me that they would look if it was covered since it wasn't eligible for lifetime warranty !! They sent me a brand new whole vacuum and a new filter !! So I now have W canister !! #bestserviceever #ridgidteam #hardtobeat

I thought this article from fine home building was really interesting !

DEWALT | Power Tools, Contractor Tools and Accessories

This might draw the attention of a lot more customers towards Dewalt table saws !! One of the main reason why I chose a Ridgid portable table saw over the older Dewalt Model was that it would rip 24" over 16" for the Dewalt !! Now it would mean that Dewalt is getting closer to my top 1 in my table saw comparison post !! DEWALT | Power Tools, Contractor Tools and Accessories : 'via Blog this'

Composite Decking vs Wood !! ??

A lot of customers that I've worked for in the past few years were always torn between the idea of building a composite or a conventional wood deck in their backyard !!  I know that most of the composite decking companies would do anything to sell their product to the customers !! Saying things like it's longer lasting than wood, won't fade, no more staining, more durable, better look and faster installation !! I will never try to stop a customer from buying composite decking, but I will definitely put the pros and cons before we start to make sure that they've weighted in all their options !!  The huge difference between the wood and composite is the price !! Even if you had a great deal on the materials, you can expect to pay at leas 4 to 6 times more for composite that standard pressure treated !!  Also some people want a surface that is clean, won't rot, is easier to clean and that they won't have apply stain !! Well for that matter you could be ...

As I mentioned in one of my previous post, AEG is the twin version of RIDGID power tool in Europe !! The only difference is that they don't offer a lifetime service agreement with their power tool system which sucks for them !!! And the reason why I had to talk about them again is because I just found out that it's only a matter of time before RIDGID also brings out his own version of the 18V Brushless Hammer Drill !! And for those who think that RIDGID is a second class power tool, just know that AEG just bumped their warranty from 3 to 6 years !! Can you say the same of your favorite tool brand !! ??  AEG POWERTOOLS [ AUSTRALIA ] PRODUCTS | Hammers | BSB18B0 | BSB18BLI303C | Brushless : 'via Blog this'

Milwaukee Fuel Demo - YouTube

I keep on seeing tons of videos on youtube about Dewalt vs Makita and Dewalt vs Bosch torque challenge and it's get me sick to see the Dewalt winning most of the time !! I'm a carpenter and I've tried Hitachi, Milwaukee, Bosch, Hilti, Metabo, Makita and Dewalt (which I was a fan of for few years for cordless drills), but now I stick to Ridgid for lifetime warranty and reliability reasons !! My last two cordless drills were 18 volt Dewalt and they both died on me within a year and a half and the last one died on me drilling a 2 1/8" hole for a door handle into cedar !! For thoses who know cedar is a really soft wood !! Dewalt drills might deliver a lot of torque, but they got no brain, if you overwork them they WILL absolutely fail you !! I would like to see a Dewalt do that !!  Milwaukee Fuel Demo - YouTube : 'via Blog this'

LXT X2 About - Makita X2

Makita came out with a 36V adapter that would allow the user to get full 36V capacity with his 18V battery system using 2 battery pack side by side !! It's a pretty clever idea !! Chances are that this beast probably performs just as great as a corded judging by Makita high standards of engineering !! I want one of theses !!  LXT X2 About - Makita X2 : 'via Blog this'
