Ridgid

In my experience, Ridgid tools are quite good. They’re often well designed, and durable. … Many Ridgid power tools are also found under TTI’s AEG brand as well, although there are many AEG tools that aren’t available in the USA under Ridgid branding.

Ridgid and RYOBI are The Home Depot’s flagship brands. RYOBI is marketed more towards the home DIYer while Ridgid is marketed more towards the professional. Both the RYOBI and Ridgid drill/drivers have brushed motors.

Although Ridgid tools are sold exclusively at Home Depot, the Ridgid brand is not owned by Home Depot. Home Depot has an exclusive arrangement to sell Ridgid tools, similar to its arrangement with other power tool brands such as Ryobi.
 
Ridgid tools are targeted at the plumbing, pipe fitting, construction, and HVAC trades. The brand is best known for its distinctive red pipe wrenches, but the company manufactures over 300 different types of tools.
