Looking at AEG tools (Ridgid) and I can see several of my old Milwaukee M18 and M12 stuff.
The 18v SDS and 12v SDS for sure, recip, some drills look suspect as well. Big fore sure on the angle grinder too.

Odd, I never noticed that AEG is available in way more countries than Milwaukee. Makes sense that Milwaukee is the marketing side of TTI.

Brb, calling a stock broker.
Could they even be bothered to make the battery look a little different than the Ridgid, i mean the stickers are even the same.
It almost looks like TTI just said hey pick whatever you want from our other brands and go market it in other countries.
Are AEG and Rigdid batteries interchangeable? because then anyone on ridgid could supplement their tools with the AEG equivalent of milwaukee tools.

They should be. Good idea!
I am sure you can get AEG cheap on eBay!

AEG and Rigdid 18V are the same stuff, totally interchangeable. But AEG seems to get into the higher-end (brushless) tools first for some reason. I see Milwaukee in their BL angle grinder, and brushed sds drills for sure, though nothing is identical.
FEIN also use older Milwaukee drill, driver & wrench designs for their 18V line.
And who doesn’t think that Milwaukee have sold the rights of their hackzall to Bosch recently?
AEG tools are better than Milwaukee. Ridged? Phooey……
See??????????? That guys goes from an artsy fartsy, hoyty toyty, quinoa eating lady boy to a mad crazy eyed freak in no time just by freeing the unrequited power of AEG!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Might have to look into this line up
