I know home Depot is a right wing cess pool, however i worked there back in 2007/2008 and I have a LOT of Ridgid tools, and quite a few batteries. Only reason i would shop there these days.

I mostly will be using it to clear fallen debris (almost exclusively cottonwood) from the trail i hike daily with my dog. Usually nothing major, i have been using my Ridgid sawsall but even with my longest blade i have a hard time with some stuff.

I have never used a chainsaw, will i be able to get through stuff with a 12" blade that I cannot with my 12" sawsall blade?

It is. They started as, I believe, a pipe cutting, and threading brand. Then when Stanley (another well known high quality brand) was sold off to a Chinese company for the name, ridgid bought their power tool line, and husky (Home Depot's store brand) bought their hand tool line. Both are very high quality brands, sadly they are both only available through Home Depot.
