I personally like Ridgid tools, and Home Depot. I have 2 Ridgid shop vacs, both are excellent. I also have the Ridgid TS3650 Table Saw that I really like in addition to a Ridgid R4121 12” dual compound miter saw.

The jointer, I’m not sure because I haven’t used it. But, it was a toss-up between it and a Rikon. I now wish I got the Ridgid, because I hardly use the Rikon. The Rikon’s fence is way over engineered, and the part adjusts the outfeed table up and down broke!

Ridgid has great a great warranty, great customer service and in my opinion, great tools.

And hey, if you don’t like it, they have a 90 day guarantee. If you don’t like it, take it back and get your money back! You really can’t lose for the price.

i just hate the orange color, anything but orange. although my very first power tool was the ridgid combination router. i’ve used it every night this week. not a bad tool.

-- david roberts, spinning Tales from Topographic Oceans, no, really.

I have the slightly older version of the Ridgid jointer, which is all gray. It does an excellent job, and I got it based on an LJ review of the newer one HD has (I think it was done by PurpLev, if I remember right, too lazy to dig through the review archive right now).

I ran through the store yesterday for a piece of poplar to repair my daugher’s table and ended coming out with a set of drills. Sale put me over the edge.

I have their drill press and thickness planer. I would recommend both.
