This last weekend, I got to use my sister's landlord's Brushless Ridgid impact driver.
Mine is not brushless.
I could not tell any difference, driving a few 3 inch screws into the door jam through hinge, whose bottom hinge stock 1" screws had stripped.
It had some buttons on the back, i imagine controlling the impact hammer torque, but the trigger felt exactly like mine and stopping at one hammer click earned a nod of approval from octogenarian carpenter who was reluctant to not do it himself but whose knees could not object to my offer to do it.
He was raving about the Ridgid battery deal he got, 2 4.0 ah batteries and charger for 80$, and the lifetime service agreement which he registered on day one of the 90 day window.
Said he had a bunch of dewalt tools whose batteries were dead, and ridiculously priced replacements pushed him at Ridgid replacements.
I showed him a 22$ Ridgid to Dewalt battery adapter on my phone and my sister ordered one for him to be deducted from her rent.
I had my 92mm and 60mm delta pocketfan and ridgid battery powersource and showed him.
He was like 'you can buy a Ridgid fan.
I was like is it 25$ , 7500 rpm, ridiculously powerful, fits in your pocket, and fulfills your need to tinker?
We agreed to disagree.
