I'm normally a Dewalt fanboy but I keep a few rigid batteries for things like this: $69 for a fan, $29 for a flashlight, etc. Why pay the dewalt/milwuakee price premium ($119) for a fan? Also there are some one-offs that only rigid does like a belt sander. Finally, rigid made tools like cordless sanders and hand routers years before dewalt/milwuakee. I'm not married to my platform, if a tool is available elsewhere I'll get it.
I have the Milwaukee M18 fan and my buddy just picked up the Rigid fan. The M18 flows way more air than the Rigid. The Rigid has some better features but when need to need to move air at a job site the Milwaukee wins. If your sipping tea and you don’t want the scary noise of the Milwaukee to disrupt your slumber party then the Rigid would better suit your needs. VCG you should post a side by side comparison between the 2.
Can someone please explain the practically of a jobsite fan? I asked a fairly knowledgeable coworker the other day what the point of them was, and he said "you know what? I'm not sure."
Redid a stairwell(demo plaster, an re sheetrock) last week. Was able to keep air blasting on the 1st coat of mud in the highest point while i worked on taping and mudding the rest of the job, and was able to come back before the end of the day for another 2 coats. No cord to trip me up, strapped it on the ladder... Comes in handy for me all the time. I use it alot when skimming concrete subfloors as well.
I have the previous hybrid model and it’s great, but when is Ridgid actually going to offer “New” tools ? I added Milwaukee M18 to my cordless tools because Ridgid refused to expand their line 😡 Ridgid customers don’t need another fan , drill , or circular saw 😡
Nice fan Vince !!!! Just got the Ridgid cool at my Home Depot and for $75.00 I think it should have metal latches on it in stead of PLASTIC !!!! REALLY PLASTIC !!!! I have a butch of money in Ridgid boxes all with metal latches. It's first day on the job is tomorrow. Ridgid and I have a love hate relationship LOL !!!!
👍👍Vince. This one is fantastic for your fans. I’m going to get one to put at the end of my work bench. Thanks for the great information. Keep’m coming, keep us 🙂🙂🙂 & informed, have yourself a great day today
Too be ownest too every one here!! I was not a fan from rigid but Vince got me for being a fan from rigid I love the Milwaukee I'm a red fan! But I give rigid a chance too be there number one fan! The rigid fan it's nicley! It keep cool 😎 hot summers! I think vcg construction rocks! Plus the cookie's are good! Special the chocolate ones are nicely!! Not nudes! That vince talking about but rigid it's good! I will tell you something it's there price $$ that matters the most! It's a fan!!
Hey Vince I'm a big fan from rigid fan rocks! It's a good fan keep you cool 😎 bro! Hey Vince why it's you don't like rigid hey cuz why it's you don't like rigid cuz!!

He try he believer In rigid! Come bro! Give them a chance cuz!
I'm a Ryobi FANBOI.... but only when it comes to their BATTERY🔋powered tools. Brought a gas power.... Ryobi chainsaw IT WAS HOT 🔥 GARBAGE!!!!! Can't even get rid of it on Craigslist.
@@juddblaney9320 Ya... I usually only buy Ryobi equipment now, for non-essential tools, that I need that much. I don't believe everything got to be Milwaukee or DeWalt. LoL
My Ryobi pressure washer with the Honda motor is junk, my sliding miter saw won’t stay aligned. A lot of my bits and blades I’ve had to buy better brands because the Ryobi versions are junk. I think Milwaukee and DeWalt is overkill for a DIYer in most cases but I also think that there’s better brands of equipment that don’t break the bank such as Ridgid and Kobalt
Not a real big fan🤣 Of rigid tools and that almost looks like my Milwaukee FAN 😍🥰. But it can’t be because it’s orange. So how do I become a big fan🤣 Rigid🤔❓🤣
Funny how I post about a fan two years ago, now all the sudden you doing vids on fans. Shady, very shady
Looks like the king of Angered Fan Boys has arrived! Thanks for watching Clark!
I guess this speaks to poor fan performance if you guys are loosing your cool 😎
🤣
Lol 😂
We hipster fans now?
Yo Vance, you can duct tape it to your head. That's the 10th mounting point
NOT
NICE
🤣😅you guys!

The two holes on the bottom can be used to mount on pipes I believe two different sizes

You’re probably talking about the old version rigid which only has 475 cfm. This new one has 670 cfm
Being able to charge a battery with a hybrid tool would be a cool feature
Looks like they copied Milwaukee tools in a similar way
It doesn't have some directions inside the box or instructions that show you the mounting points
@vince where can i get those glasses u wear.
Have 2 older models I’ll keep them LSA is there just in case
Are they hybrids?
@@VCGConstruction yes it is
I Think it’s sounds the same with the cord and the bettery
Maybe the difference isn’t as audible on video because I hear a difference
Can someone please explain the practically of a jobsite fan? I asked a fairly knowledgeable coworker the other day what the point of them was, and he said "you know what? I'm not sure."
it's a luxury in enclosed spaces
I use it in the truck, it's really nice when you're stuck on traffic and have no AC!
@@antoniotinoco2428 there it is. I can totally understand that.

It has saved me camping in hot weather multiple times.
I wish milwaukee would make same speed dial as ridgid. Ridgid is super quiet and this is why I picked it over milwaukee as you can use it at night
Ridged coming in hot af, really decent drops lately
Sweet video, thanks. I was really hoping to be angered by it though
Guess you aren’t a true Fan Boi!
@@VCGConstruction I bought a bunch of Ridgid tools but not a fan so I suppose not lol
I have the previous hybrid model and it’s great, but when is Ridgid actually going to offer “New” tools ? I added Milwaukee M18 to my cordless tools because Ridgid refused to expand their line 😡 Ridgid customers don’t need another fan , drill , or circular saw 😡
I took too much LSD in the 80s and am a semi-vegetable. I look normal, but am all psycho in the head. I like tools.
Coming to terms is the first step to over coming, good luck my friend
@@VCGConstruction I am trying really hard to keep it together...but the sounds are loud and the images very intense.
Nice fan Vince !!!!

It's first day on the job is tomorrow. Ridgid and I have a love hate relationship LOL !!!!
Maybe there concerned about rusting? Thanks Stephen!
@@VCGConstruction LOL !!!! Maybe Vince !!!!
Yo Vince! F RIDGID! See what I did there? 🤣🤣
That’s pretty funny Dave! 🤣🤣
Is any job site fan brushless yet?
I picked up the DeWalt fan that came with a 4amp and charger for $180 at home Depot so glad I did
If only you could charge the battery while the fan is plugged in. Then it'd be a good fan.
Kind of an expensive fan. Then u have to buy a battery and charger to run it on 18 volts.
Austin powers reference for the win
Who does number two work for?
CA glue gives you a 100 mounting points
Limitless
👍👍Vince. This one is fantastic for your fans. I’m going to get one to put at the end of my work bench. Thanks for the great information. Keep’m coming, keep us 🙂🙂🙂 & informed, have yourself a great day today
Yeah then impossible to register
Thx for the video!! 👍
They should make a mister fan like ryobi, would love to see that
You must have used to much hair jell I didn't see any hair blowing. 👍🤓
A couple blew
I have this fan and I take it to the lake and it will run all night on 4 Amp great for work and play
that fan is real nass like.
This VID-"BLOWS" !

They sell gas powered chainsaws? You learn something new every day!
@@VCGConstruction
😆Ya.. they do at my local Home Depot, out here in Philadelphia.
I was a Ryobi fanboy too. But their accessories and non power tool equipment is cheap junk. If half their shit is garbage, it’s all garbage.

VCG notification gang!!
In da house….I see
Not a real big fan🤣 Of rigid tools and that almost looks like my Milwaukee FAN 😍🥰. But it can’t be because it’s orange. So how do I become a big fan🤣 Rigid🤔❓🤣
Lol feet per minute. Aka velocity.
That’s not CFM?
@@VCGConstruction Thats volume of air. They should have used MPH like all other fans do for velocity, though..
@@VCGConstruction FPM times the area (pi*r*r) gives you CFM (VOLUME per minute).
I'm an HVAC engineer Vince. Don't feel dumb.
@@Jtwizzle MPH is for cars and planes. Lol. FPM is for airflow.
I'm Blown Away
Vince nasty says: ridgid tools are trash
Yo RJ!
YOOOOOOOO!
Yo Vince
What up Dude?
I didnt know ridgid fanboys were a thing
Just became a fan 👍
Fan boi?
I'm also a fan
Big or little fan?
