Rigid R8223406.

Tooth sheered off of the tool holder that holds the blades on there. It actually breaks a new blade without it. Looking to replace but I can’t find any disassembly instructions or videos.

Ridgid JobMax Power Handle R2850 2011: I have a loose head

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 22:20:46 -0700

I obtained the corded base and multi-tool head at a yard sale. The head clicks into place, but stays somewhat loose. I don’t think it would come off during use, but it will be difficult to be precise when tackling a project like this. Am I missing a gasket or something? If it is simply wearing out, what are your thoughts on me putting in an after-market gasket to provide a more snug fit?
