I was at my local HD today and a tool rep was in there and we have bumped into each other from time to time. We started talking today and I asked about the Ridgid 10″ Sliding miter saw and what happened with it and he said there are coming out with a new 10″ Slider a new 12″ slider and a 7.5″ cordless 18V Slider. I reallly look forward to the cordless 7.5″ slider.
That’s pretty sweet

I had debated getting the 10″ slider. I may wait now and see what the new machine looks like.

I’m excited to see the 7.5″ cordless miter
I wonder if the price points will stay the same or close to the older models.

Thats really cool if Ridgid is coming out with a cordless mitersaw
And once again, they ignore what people seem to be asking for, which is an 18V tool free multi tool.

They have the head now. Buy the old body and a new head and keep the old head as a swap/backup

Sorry, why should someone need to buy the body for $80 plus a new head when companies like Milwaukee have theirs out at HD for $99. That is just plain foolish.
DeWalt makes a tool-less adapter, I have it on my Ryobi multi and it’s great. Puts the blade a little bit farther from the tool but I don’t notice any difference while using it.

Something like this?

Possibly. But I’d rather see it on the actual tool itself rather than spending $100 and then having to spend another $50 for that.
Also, I’m still confused as to whether it is actually tool free as you and I know it or tool free in Ridgid terms. They have called their other heads tool free as well because you could swap out the heads without needing a tool, but the actual bits used on the head still needed a tool to change.

The price seems like a little much though. I would rather sell the regular head and buy the tool free one, it would most likely around the same price.
The Dewalt adapter can be found for $20-25, I paid around that for mine. The Rigid tool-free head looks nice tough.
Here’s another for this thread, unless I missed it:
.
18v wet/dry handheld
