The Ridgid 5 piece kit is $497. It comes with drill, impact driver, circ saw, recip saw, light, and 2 batteries.

In my case I don't need the reciprocating saw, it's used for demolition work. Don't need the light either.

You can buy the Ridgid drill and impact combo for $179, and it comes with a charger and 2 batteries.
The circ saw is is $169. These are all regular prices.
So that's $348, or $149 cheaper than the kit, but I don't get the recip saw or light, which I don't care about anyways. When I priced out the Ryobi tools I foudn the same thing, it makes much more sense to buy just the tools I need.

So why buy the kit? The only reason I can think of is if I can find it at a considerable discount. But the individual tools sometimes go on sale too.

Also I consider the 5 piece kit as a 4 piece kit because the light doesn't count as a tool in my opinion. I mean you can buy a flash light at Dollarama for a couple bucks.
The kit is very good deal if you buy it on sale. And then follow discounts. But once you get with kit, it's hard to find good deals on other stuff...for ex. I wouldn't mind a wood cutting kit that has a jigsaw and recip. saw for 150 - since I will use those occasionally but thing is they will come as a kit with many other tools that I already have.
Btw. they do say their 18V batteries are compatible with all other 18V tools they made. I am not sure if they were making 18V tools 10 years ago.

I checked 2 weeks ago, there was one in quebec and some in the prairies, they're long gone in the gta.

Found one descent price https://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/mark ... nFlag=true

This way I would get a new receipt and I believe I could start LSA process the same day.

The battery powered one? Read some not so favourable reviews about how far it can actually drive the nails in.

Saw an air one on clearance for $199 in Pickering today.

Yes, battery powered one...it seems they are so/so....some work and push nail through stone (figuratively) and some cant even go 1/2" in pine. That tells me it's something with gun you get. The local HD had ridgid reps last monday and I wanted to go to talk to thrm about it but i wasn't around.

Bought the set for $300 back in Feb. What do you say to the people at Home Depot's customer service desk to get the adjustment?

"Hi, how's it going? I'd like to get a price adjustment on this item please" and hand them the receipt.

tietherope wrote: The drill set at $179 is the X4, not the GEN5X, so there's a difference there. I can't find a GEN5X brushed set to compare to on their site. Also slightly smaller batteries.

But like you said, if there's tools you don't need, then the 5 piece set is hard to justify. Or you watch out for more clearance prices like the kit in this thread.
I think all Gen5X are brushless, so you won't find a Gen5X that's brushed.

Which stores in Toronto show the new reduced price for the Ltd. Edition kit in their system, so that I can do a price adjustment?

Preferably not far from Gerrard location. Want to save unnecessary driving around in this weather.

Thanks.

Edit: Done at Gerrard! Thanks to those who posted the reduction!

Actually the Gen5X come in both brushed and brushless sets. The 5 piece set that comes with a drill, driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and flashlight is a brushed set. It’s currently at homedepot for $497.

https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.gen5 ... 37744.html

I’ve compared both side by side. Many of the Ridgid power tools on display at the stores are marked Gen 5x but do not have the “brushless” word on them. These would be the brushed tools. Seems that Ridgid first came out with Gen5X (brushed) followed sometime later with the Gen5X “brushless” series. Both are available in Canada although the brushless is still more rare.

Many reviews on YouTube comparing the Gen5X brushed vs brushless.

Its crazy they discontinued this brushless kit this fast and for this cheap. Incredible value. The only way this kit could have been better is if it included stealth impact driver (2x torque but with half of sound)

That's not right. And I'm glad it doesn't have the stealth impact because while it may be "HALF the noise of a standard impact driver and up to 2X faster", it only delivers 650 in. lbs. of torque. The regular Gen5X brushless impact driver delivers 2250 in. lbs. The only thing with more torque is the Gen5X brushless impact wrench with a whooping 5400 in. lbs.
