Update: Winner Eli with His New RIDGID Tools

By Chuck Cage

Eli, the winner of our comment-based RIDGID combo kit giveaway, took a few minutes to write in and let us know how they work:

“I’ve been using the set almost since the moment I got it last Friday, but today was the first day I used them at work. Very pleaseing experience. You really made Christmas come early. In the picture I’m cutting out some studs above a fireplace to frame in a bookshelf nook for a client’s antique globe collection. I used both the trim saw and the recipro saw.”

Check out this Friday’s “The Week in Tools” podcast for more from Eli regarding his take on RIDGID tools (and others).
