RIDGID 18V and Mastercraft 20V (PWRPOD / Blue) compatibility

It works in one direction only: RIDGID batteries powering Mastercraft tools. For the opposite pairing, see adapters that run on Mastercraft 20V (PWRPOD / Blue) batteries.

Compatibility can vary with the exact battery and tool model. Before ordering, confirm that your battery belongs to the RIDGID 18V platform and that your tool takes Mastercraft 20V (PWRPOD / Blue) batteries.

Important charging and safety information

This adapter is for powering cordless tools and nothing else. It cannot charge RIDGID or Mastercraft batteries and must never be connected to a charger of any kind. Always take the battery out of the adapter before charging, and charge it on the original charger made for your RIDGID 18V battery.
