I have the starter kit for about a month. I also have all the other attached heads, right angle impact driver's head in right angle drill / screwdriver head ratchet head and hammer head. I compared the results with another tool that makes it comparable jobs and found the Ridgid JobMax not impressive. All Annex angle wrenches therefore design for tight spaces, except for garbage head. The following is my experience with the tool:
1) The multi-tool head: the saw is really designed for use in tight spaces, small and fine cut. There is no need to use this to cut a 2x4, if I must, as in a tight space where a circular or reciprocal so would not fit. The sanding pad, which is OK, but even for small confined spaces.
2) The right angle drill / drive: it is moderately strong, again, design for tight space operation. At about 550rpm,. A little slow for use as a right angle grinder, sander or router
3) The right angle impact driver: a power driver for a tight space. My regular 9.8V drill / drive can do the job without effect.
4) The hammer head: it is the worst of all "principal" and is a joke. The hammer head is well below the current, and the tree lost most of the time. This JobMax hammer head could not pound nails into 2x4 at all. I tried different sizes of nails, it just could not cope. My Ridgid air palm hammer can do the job quickly and better.
5) The ratchet head: this is the best attachment heads of all. Other than that it is a bit large, it works really well. It is powerful enough to run the stock screws into 2x4. It is much better than doing it manually latch.
6) Battery: The battery seems to be a sudden death of the battery. The battery does not go down when empty, it just suddenly die without warning and must be charged. I have two batteries to deal with the sudden death behavior.
In summary, this is a Jack of all trades and master of none.
