Don't buy Home Depot, period.
Lower quality items under the same name brand.

RIDGID is not Home Depot's line. They sell them but RIDGID has no connection to Home Depot. RIDGID is a division of Emerson Electric Company.
I have no opinion either way on RIDGID, Home Depot, or Emerson Electric.
Wait a minute! Yes, I do. RIDGID makes good manual hand tools, I don't know about their electrically powered ones. Home Depot is crap. Go to Lowe's.

Screw 'em both and patronize your local Ace, True Value or unaffiliated small local hardware store. Much more likely to find knowledgeable help and correct answers to your questions. It's worth whatever extra you might be paying.

I agree if you need help or have questions.
I go in, find what I need, and leave. Lowe's is better for this than Home Depot.
