German RIDGID tools RIDGID models RIDGID prices

RIDGID tools powered by electric motors or electromagnets, driving the working head through a transmission mechanism, are referred to as power tools. They are hand-held operating tools that use low-power electric motors or electromagnets as the power source to drive the working head via a transmission mechanism. Power tools are divided into handheld and portable types; handheld power tools are more flexible, convenient, and widely used. Many varieties have become essential tools for production and daily life. There are numerous power tool brands. Based on function and application, they are mainly classified into metal cutting power tools, grinding power tools, assembly power tools, and railway power tools. Common power tools include electric drills, electric grinders, electric wrenches and electric screwdrivers, electric hammers and impact drills, concrete vibrators, and electric planers.

RIDGID Tool Classification

1) Electric Planer: One of the main tools used in woodworking and renovation. It is primarily used for planing flat and straight surfaces of various woods. Products are categorized into short planers and rough planers. Rough planers are mainly used for planing flat wood surfaces and can process larger board surfaces; short planers, in addition to planing board surfaces, can be used with various guides to perform rabbeting, edging, and grooving. The main features of handheld electric planers are small size, light weight, portability, and ease of use. Compared with manual tools, they significantly reduce labor intensity and improve processing efficiency and quality. When using a handheld electric planer, hold the handle at the rear of the planer body with your right hand and slightly raise the rear center of gravity. After starting the power with your left hand, grip the guide handle at the front of the planer, keeping the front center of gravity lower. Follow the sequence where the front of the planer contacts the wood first; once the rear center of gravity steadily contacts the planing surface, push the planer body forward smoothly in the direction of planing with both hands. After completing the planing stroke, lift the front of the planer with your left hand, then pick it up with both hands and return to the starting point to continue planing until the entire process is completed. 2) Jigsaw: Also known as electric coping saws or electric fine saws. It is a multifunctional cutting tool capable of straight or curved cutting on wooden boards, as well as plastic and metal sheets. It is particularly effective for cutting complex shapes and geometric figures with small radii of curvature. It is an essential multifunctional sawing tool for home renovation and various public interior decoration projects, featuring light weight, compact size, portability, simple operation, and wide application range. Its cutting principle involves a narrow saw blade with upward-facing teeth, performing vertical reciprocating motion during operation to complete various cutting tasks according to size requirements. When used with a guide plate, it can also perform angled bevel processing. When using an electric jigsaw, secure smaller and thinner wooden boards to a workbench and support the workpiece with your left hand, then gently push the saw forward with your right hand holding the handle. Apply steady and uniform force; do not exert excessive force to avoid injury or damaging the blade. For larger boards, ensure the board is securely fixed, then hold the handle with both hands and push forward for sawing. Follow the marked line during sawing and always keep the blade perpendicular to the board surface to prevent binding or jamming. 3) Circular Saw: Also known as a small handheld circular saw. It is a new type of small handheld electric saw equipped with a spring-loaded automatic safety guard and an electronically controlled constant-speed motor. It features simple operation, flexibility, quick adjustment, and high safety and reliability, making it very suitable for cutting various wooden boards and artificial fiber boards in home renovation. The thickness of wood or boards being cut should generally be below 60mm. 4) Sanding Tools: Also known as small handheld sanders. Primarily used for sanding bare wood before painting various wood finishes, and also for sanding putty coatings. However, sanding putty generates significant dust, which seriously pollutes the environment, so enhanced labor protection is required during operation. Handheld sanders include belt sanders and orbital sanders. Belt sanders are mainly used for rapid sanding of wooden components and products, while orbital sanders are commonly used for sanding larger areas such as wooden floors in home renovation. 5) Small Router: Also known as a groove planner or trimmer. It can be used for grooving, tenoning, drilling, edging, milling, and trimming on various wooden products and components. It can also perform simple edging, milling, grooving, and trimming on light metal materials such as aluminum alloy and plastic steel, such as aluminum alloy (or plastic steel) doors and windows, balcony frames, and furniture frames. Therefore, it is also one of the commonly used power tools in modern home renovation projects.

RIDGID Tool Usage

1) Select the appropriate saw blade for the workpiece. For example, use 14 teeth per inch for cutting solid or thick soft metals; 18 teeth per inch for tool steel, iron pipes, and hard metals; and 24 teeth per inch for cutting metal sheets, metal pipes, and thin iron strips. 2) Push the saw forward, and lift it slightly when pulling back. 3) Select a wrench of appropriate size according to the nature of the work. 4) When using an adjustable wrench, apply force towards the fixed jaw, never towards the movable jaw. 5) If the wrench jaws are worn or slip during use, discontinue use immediately to prevent slipping. 6) Do not use a wrench as a hammer for striking. 5) Do not add a pipe over the wrench handle to increase torque. 7) Press the inner side of the first leg of the square against the edge of the wooden board, and draw along the inner side of the second leg with a pencil to mark a perpendicular line. 8) Select a screwdriver that matches the size and shape of the screw head slot. 9) Do not strike the screwdriver handle with a hammer; replace damaged handles immediately. 10) Do not use a screwdriver as a chisel or lever. 11) Use an electrician's screwdriver to test current; do not use ordinary screwdrivers to test high voltage. 12) Do not grind the screwdriver tip to avoid damaging the hardened surface. 13) Do not place screwdrivers in shirt or trouser pockets to avoid injury from collision or falling.

RIDGID Tool Maintenance

1) Setting: The set is adjusted using a saw set. When setting, engage the slot of the saw set with the saw teeth and bend them firmly to the left or right. The degree of bending must meet the required set. 2) Filing: When filing saw teeth, clamp the saw blade in a vise so that the teeth are exposed. Depending on the tooth size, use a triangular steel file 100 to 200 mm in length. File each tooth from right to left with uniform force. Keep one face of the file vertically tight against the lower edge of the tooth and the other face against the upper edge of the adjacent tooth. If the set of the teeth is irregular, place the saw blade flat on a steel plate and flatten all teeth with a wooden mallet, then reset and refil. Additionally, maintain the saw frame; if damage is found in ropes, nuts, knobs, or wooden mortise and tenon joints, adjust or repair them promptly.
