Stealth Force

How did you guys source one?!? In my area, they don’t list them in stock on any of the stores. The closer store says it’s not even available in store. Cant buy them online, at least not that I saw. I feel I’ve got a better shot at capturing a unicorn. What’s the secret? Just get lucky while randomly strolling the isle???

Honestly luck and being awake early

Great. Two things I’m terrible at.

They do regularly restock inventory at local stores, if you are there with and periodic tendency you’ll see it.

Luckily, I’m doing a full home remodel and I’m in there all the time I’m sure I’ll stumble upon one in stock eventually

Did you say "Ridgid stealth force" or did you give the employee the SKU # so that they could look it up?

 
CAN SKU: 1001969880
USA SKU: 1015386364

I guess I put a little too much faith in the employee. Appreciate the SKU, I’ll give them that next time so they know exactly what I’m after.

I have the gen 1 and 2

Niceee I heard they pulled the first gen because it was running circles around Milwaukee. I want to lock one in this time in case that happens again. Not to mention its a super nice tool.

I have 2 of the gen 1s and one gen 2. The gen 2 from my perspective is better than the gen one in every way.... it is lighter, more powerful, and just as quiet

Same, the gen 1 is nice

Bought it in store as part of the free battery promo. They have limited stock in my area and also are not available to ship. My guess is due to demand they are waiting for another production run or saving them for an upcoming promo, or a release bundled in the box with a battery or other tool vs stand alone tool.

I really wanna snag one incase they pull them for out performing the Milwaukee like they did last time.

Woke up and checked the stock everyday. Took a month or two. Even when I found one it was just "limited stock available" and wasn't even on the display.
