This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. Not long ago we reviewed the Ridgid 18v Cordless Compressor, which was playfully nicknamed the Cute Brute. In our testing, this little powerhouse saved the day when the power was out on a job site. It also proved itself handy powering finish nailers and even blowdrying a bike chain. Why are we telling you all this? Because we’re giving one of these pint-sized powerhouses away in early December!
While you might wonder why you’d want to go cordless on something that still requires being tethered to an air hose, you’d be surprised. Job sites are often sans power and the Ridgid 18v Cordless Compressor with brushless motor keeps you powered and aired-up without being tied to an electrical outlet. According to Ridgid, they’re even capable of driving 1200 brad nails. I don’t know about you, but it’s beer-o’clock long before I managed to drive 1200 brad nails.
These beasties normally will set you back about $200, but one lucky Home Fixated reader is going to win one absolutely free. Ok, “absolutely” might not be 100% accurate, you do have to put a little work in – but not much!

Seems both of the kids have purchased new/old homes this year and who do they call to help fix the fixer uppers, dear ole’ dad. I love my kids but packing tools up multiple times seems more like weight lifting than wood working sometimes. This Ridgid Cordless Compressor would be a great option to throw in the truck.
How long doe sit take to fill a tire?
I could use one of these in my wood shop. Seems like quite the handy tool.
This could come in handy in the dunes
oh wow this would be an awesome addition to my tools.
One less cord count me in. My current cordless nailer (hammer)hits my nail holding device (hand) a little too often so a compressed plus my gun would help me solve that problem.
That cordless compressor would be an excellent addition to all the other Ridgid tools in my shop. It would also be handy to stash in the back of the truck when we go camping; a step up from the air tank I take now … that’s a slow way to top of one of the truck’s tires.
Seriously, I’ve had my eye on one of those since I saw Ridgid’s announcement and you did your review.
We are upgrading to a new home, you know I am going to need this new compressor within the first week!
when putting down your tub put plastic so the wood underneath will not soak up all the water from the mortar leaned the hard way not funny
Here’s a tip for putting up crown moulding or base board using a finish nailer: (like one connected to a technologically advanced Rigid Cordless Air Compressor with new brushless motor for greater power, durability, and longer runtime) When trying to join very tight mitered corners; measure and miter the two pieces, and BEFORE you attach either to the wall, join them with a thin bead of hot glue (preferably dispensed from the new Ryobi 18v cordless glue gun available at any fine Home Depot) Hold the joint for 30 seconds, THEN attach to the wall (admittedly you’ll probably need a partner for crown) it will be perfect, and you won’t even have to caulk the corner!
I have a space in my garage I need to fill
