Ridgid date code
A Ridgid date code ending 0410 means April 2010 in the specified model’s format; earlier serial characters sit outside that date suffix.
Month first, then year
For that model’s format, a serial ending 0410 denotes April 2010: 04 is the month and 10 the year. The model number RE 60 and the earlier serial characters are separate from this four-digit date suffix.
RE 60 format example
| Suffix part | Reading |
|---|---|
| 04 | April |
| 10 | 2010 |
| 0410 | April 2010 |
What to check next
Confirm the model and its serial arrangement before using the suffix rule. RIDGID products can come from different tool families with different labels; preserve the whole model and serial instead of treating every four-digit number as MMYY.
