Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Ridgid R8606B Cordless Tool - Tool Only (Included) by Tim Airy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far so good, even though my engine burned out.

So far so good, although I did burn out a motor on the corded version of this model, (admittedly) no doubt partly from sanding drywall, including fast setting plaster which was a lot is aggressive. This guy's vacuum port that hooks up to a shop vacuum really works compared to other brands (Milwaukee, are you listening?). It's all about drywall sanding! Now if only they could find an angled cordless version with a reciprocating/shaking beetle and a cat-shaped vacuum port in the working angle (tough you hear?)! Ryobi has a wireless corner cat but it works, they don't have a vacuum port although their wired version does (Ryobi are you listening?)! It's all about drywall sanding! Did I already say that?

Pros
  • Consistent results when tested
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
