Today we have yet another bit-set to test out. This one, however, is just a standard set – not like the impact-rated kits we’ve talked about in the weeks preceding this. Let’s see how they do in the professional trade world.
TOOL REVIEW – RIDGID OCTANE Cordless Brushless 18V 3-1/4 in. Hand Planer
August 4, 2020
8:49 pm
I have to admit, I don’t know the first thing about planers. I’m an electrician, I’ve never used one of these, but I was sent one to review so what I’ll do is tell you the specs, rather than try to pretend I have an opinion on the quality of the tool.

Do any of y’all in the electrical field actually use these laser distance measuring tools? I’ve tried many of them, different sizes, brands, displays, distances, but does anyone actually keep them in their pouches and use them day-to-day?

This impact-rated driving bit set is a great little kit to have. This is a similar bit set to the 70-piece I wrote about last week, just a little more trimmed down.

TOOL REVIEW – RIDGID OCTANE Brushless 18V One-Handed Reciprocating Saw
July 10, 2020
1:36 am
I’m a daily Sawzall user, and I’m always happy when I get to use a new style or model to see how they compare. Typically I don’t have a lot of opportunities to use Ridgid tools unless they’re sent to me to test, so I’m really happy to get to try this one out!
TOOL REVIEW – RYOBI 70PC Impact Rated Driving Kit
