My Ridgid oscillating spindle/belt sander just went TU. It still sands, but won't oscillate, so I believe it won't be long before it stops sanding also. I see two contenders for a replacement: a Grizzly, or a Triton offered by Rockler. After several frustrating phone calls, I have concluded that the lifetime service agreement (lsa), is only useful as a piece of toilet paper. Apparently, no one is doing warranty work on Ridgid power tools. Maybe they are replacing batteries, but I would guess that is about it. Anyway, looking for opinions on which brand I should go with. The Grizzly is $179.95, and the Triton is $259.99. I understand you get what you pay for, but I am just wondering about the basic quality of both brands. Thoughts?

I have this set for a couple years and we have about 8 of them at the furniture bank. This is a great price and don't forget to file registration for the lifetime service agreement (that also covers batteries)

My shop is a small,15x15 area. No windows. I did clean up, a lot, before the photos. Don’t know what else to say...it’s small.

Thanks Fred, I love that 5 piece set of Ridgid Cordless tools. My cousin Paul was thinking about ordering the set and came pver the morning to see how they perform. We ran them through their paces on a piece of 4/4 dry maple, which was fairly hard. 1. Drilled a 1 1/2" hole through the board,no problem. cut like butter. 2. Drilled a 2 1/4" hole , cut real good,caught one time and about twisted off my wrist. Made it all the way til the pilot was through and stopped, my wrist wouldn't take another grab. 3. Crosscut with circular saw, couldn't even tell it was cutting so smooth. very smooth,no tear out cut. 4. Did a rip full depth blade, free hand, didn't phase it one bit, cut smooth no bogging down or stopping, cut straight as an arrow. I did not notice any sawdust in my face either. 5. Cross cut end with the Reciprocating saw , cut nice and square, cut better at slow speed with this particular blade, than at high speed. 6. Drove some some exterior screws with star driver bit. Went in like butter, no resistance at all, the driver would have walked them through the board if I wanted to. I am a happy camper with this set, it will do any thing I want to do, my cousin just called and said that they are now $100. more than what I paid for them.
