I think cordless tools are the way to go especially for a mobile liftestyle, table saw and mitre saw as well. I think lowering your expectations on some projects may be the answer. I am curious why would you change from Milwaukee to Ridgid, I don’t think ridgid are bad tools but I think Milwaukee are better. I have Milwaukee battery tools, I have worked with the Ridgid drill and driver as well as the Brad nailer and found them adequate but I always thought they felt a bit unbalanced as opposed to the Milwaukee or the Makita. They worked fine but for instance the brad nailer was heavy and a bit awkward or not as ergonomic as the Makita, Milwaukee or Dewalt. Also the Ridgid driver and drill felt a bit sloppy as it aged. They may have changed this was a couple years back now.
