Staying cool on a jobsite isn’t always easy, but Ridgid’s new Gen5X 18-volt Hybrid Fan should help solve the problem. The variable-speed fan is controlled with a dial and can rotate 240 degrees up and down, directing the airflow where you want it. The rubber handle makes it easy to carry and two metal hooks extend from the base to grab a pipe or 2-by material. The fan is compatible with Ridgid 18-volt slide battery packs, but it can also be plugged directly into an outlet. On a 4.0-Ah battery, it can run for more than 30 hours, according to the manufacturer. Price: $60 (bare tool) / COO: China /ridgid.com
