The warranty everybody claims is a pain in the ass. But you do get a lifetime warranty on the batteries that come in kits (not the ones that come in their own pack unfortunately) so take it with a grain of salt. Milwaukee is 5yrs on tools and 3yrs on warranty, but hopefully you will never need to use either and will end up breaking the tool being a dumbass or just want to replace it after 10yrs of use.

But no complaints about the Ridgid stuff so far. Boomer I work with who has a little wood shop says he’s switching everything to Ridgid as well and he loves it. Wait for those sales, I feel like I got a whole lot for $200 with the big batteries and brushless tools. Octane sawzall runs like a raped ape and I want to snag some Octane batteries so bad.

Don’t overlook the 12V tools either. And Milwaukee is still probably better with their tool lineup, but Ridgid is nearly as good for much less money but a significantly more basic lineup.

Ridgid is just a stepping stone to Knipex. That’s the top brass shilling right there. Once you get to Knipex, you retire Knipex.

We can all dream...
