These are two sweet deals that will give October cordless set purchasers two free tools, a 14.4 impact tool and a Maxselect Planer.
There are two deals going on now at Home Depot that offer free tools with the purchase of a tool set.
1-Free 14.4 impact tool ($149.00)and battery with purchase of any cordless combo. This deal is available 10/1 thru 12/15. Click below for info.

2-Free Maxselect Planer($117.00) with purchase of any combo kit. This deal is 10/1 thru 10/31. I found this flyer at my local Home Depot and haven't been able to pull it up at the Ridgid site. Somebody else who's better at these things than I am will probably do it. This same flyer is also promoting $50.00 Home Depot gift cards when purchasing a 12" dual bevel miter saw and miter saw utility vehicle or more than $500 of ridgid power or pnuematic tools. Maybe this promo can be downloaded at the Home Depot web site.

Just noticed the small print on the second offer (Maxselect planer) states that rebate form must be original, not a photocopy.
1-Does anyone know where these can be downloaded? They are titled:October Savings Promotion
2-Will ridgid accept a photcopy or do they hold our feet to the fire by demanding the original? They were handing out photocopies at the HD store where I got mine.

I will try to scan it in and post it that way. It will probably take a couple of days as the scanning is a skill I haven't aquired yet.
PS-Ebox customer service told me a photo copy of this offer would be ok.

Did they say why they were not sending this offer to everyones ebox? I would much rather have the planer than the impact, since my other tools are the max select ones also.

Anybody have a copy of the MaxSelect Planer rebate form they can scan? Neither of my local HDs could locate copies in the form, find them on HD's site or Ridgid's site:(
Thanks!

After all the threads I read about Ridgid in this forum, I really wondered when or if the free planer would arrive. Much to my surprise, I came home today and the planer was already here! Took less than 3 weeks, that's fast for any rebate, let alone a free tool.:) Thanks to Ray for the rebate form.

Well it appears that Ridgid is sending out 18v impact drivers in place of the 14.4v one. I just received an 18v MaxHC battery in the mail. I thought that the shipping was messed up and someone else got my 14.4 battery and impact and I got their 18v battery. When I called, the service rep said that I was getting the 18v instead of the 14.4v and that the battery was shipped separately from the impact driver. This works out better since I have a bunch of 18v tools.

When did you send in the form. I registered mine in october and still have not recieved anything. I called a couple days ago and they said they were processing forms from september.

I sent mine in the first week in November and was very shocked to get both the planer and the 18 volt impact driver and battery within two weeks! Have to admit that I was pretty impressed by how quick it was! Of course I then didn't have a charger for the 18 volt Nicad battery, so found the drill with two nicad batteries on clearance for $99........:D
I sent my in the first week of November. The battery came first and the impact the next day.

Well, I called ridgid back today and this time they told me that everything had been processed on 1-15, which was before I called the first time. Not sure why they told me they were still processing forms from september. They also lost my rebate form for the free impact, but they said they could put in a order for it because they already had a copy of my reciept, so that should arrive in 7-10 days. One question, is the impact eligible for the Lifetime Service Agreement?

I was stunned when my impact came with the smaller battery plus the big 2.5Ah HD battery....andddddddddd......are you ready for this.....the twin max or whatever they call it charger!
LSA....I sent all the stuff in to register it with a note explaining how I got it and copies of all the receipts and free offer forms. So far it has shown up on My Ebox as a 3 year warranty. We'll see. That is the process with some registrations
good luck...Ray
Nice! I was happy when the 18v showed up instead of the 14.4v. I wonder what the next promotion will be?

mdm....Did they send the Twin Max charger and two batts also? Just as a point of information. Strangley enough the 14.4 outperforms the 18V and the MaxSelect impact tools. We have all three and one day noticed the 14.4 outrunning the MaxSelect. Shortly thereafter we had a little competition driving 3" deck screws in the shop among the three of them. Hands down, the 14.4 is the fastest.
The truth lies in the specs. The 14.4 has the highest RPM rate of the three. Don't know why Ridgid did this. Sent them an email asking for an answer. They responded saying they don't tell the public at large or, god fordid, their customers the why and wherefor of engineering and design decisions.
Anyway thats my story....and I'm sticking to it!

I just got the 18v Impact and 1 MaxHC battery. No charger. Not a big deal though. I already had the MaxSelect Impact so I ended up selling both the impact and battery. I have no complaints with the MaxSelect Impact. It delivers everytime I need it to. I did snap the bit that came with it. No screws yet. I'm just glad I had it to install the screws for the house gutters. It makes tons of noise, but gets the job done faster than the drill would. I did pick up a 14.4v at HD awhile back in the clearance section. $20 for the impact, battery and charger. I ended up giving it to my dad.

ROADRASHRAY...you're going to love that twin charger. i lucked into one as part of a combo kit and its greatly improves tool utilization.

Well yeah! The cooling fan coming on until the batt is topped off. Thats pretty cool.
I will be happy when Ridgid gets on top of all this LI batt and various chargers stuff. We have the 9.6V screwgun, 12V RA, a couple of 14.4 impacts, a few 18V tools w/Nicad batts, several of the MaxSelects,a couple of the 18V LI compacts and the complete 24V set. It requires two different chargers to charge all these batts but because of the large number of batteries we have we use many different chargers. Sometimes when your tired its a pain to keep them straight. Hopefully soon Ridgid will develop one charger that can be used for all batts. Someone posted that Milwaukee has done this.

My impact finally showed up today. They sent the max-select version. But no batteries yet. I'll be interested to see what battery they send. It would be cool if they would send a new 3.0ah lithum one.

Thats interesting. Mine 14.4V came with the small batt on the tool and the big 2.5HD tucked into the same box.
Let us know what you get.
