Not yet. At $299 at The Home Depot, the RIDGID 18V 8-tool combo kit gets a C, and we'd wait for a better price.
A+ A+ means this is the lowest price we've ever recorded, backed by 6+ months of price history.
DealTeacher's grade for the RIDGID 18V 8-tool combo kit: C (Wait). It's $299 at The Home Depot, which matches its 90-day low. Price last checked Oct 27, 2026. Fair, not special. Eight tools, a 2Ah and a 4Ah battery, a charger and a bag for $299 is a lot of kit, but this exact set has landed at $299 in sale after sale since May, so this price isn't news. If you need a whole starter shop soon, it's a fine buy. Otherwise wait and see if Black Friday pushes it lower.
