About This Product

RIDGID introduces the 18V Drywall Cut-Out Tool. With a no load speed of 28,000 RPM, the Drywall Cut-Out Tool provides a fast, clean cut in a compact size. The depth guide drops below the collet for maximum depth of cut with the guide attached. The depth guide also functions as the collet wrench, making bit changes quick and convenient. The point-of-cut switch allows for total control of the tool when cutting. The ability to cut drywall, plywood, cement board and laminate adds versatility. Backed by the RIDGID Lifetime Service Agreement, the 18V Drywall Cut-Out Tool includes two drywall bits, a 1/8 in. and 1/4 in. collet, a belt hook and an operator's manual. Battery and charger sold separately.

Questions & Answers

Can I use other drywall bits for the rigid drywall tool? I’m having trouble finding a bit for my tool that I have already
ByJun 17, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hello, Heather - Yes, this tool comes with a preinstalled collet that is machined to precision tolerances to fit bits with 1/8 in. diameter shanks. To use bits with 1/4 in. shank, remove the collet nut and 1/8 in. collet, then insert the 1/4 in. collet into the output shaft. Replace the collet nut before inserting the bit. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone at 1.866.539.1710, Monday - Friday from 9am to 6pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact.

                  I mean you can't go wrong . Lifetime warranty and does exactly what you want it to ! I really have no complaints. Make sure you buy more bits tho. 10 out of 10 would buy again.

                  This is my first time trying Ridgid and let me tell you I'm glad I did the tools are really well made and feel premium. This thing made doing my drywall so much easier try it i promise you'll love it!

                  Worth the money
                  I will never use a hand knife to cut drywall again! This thing is easy to use, very precise and hogs out drywall like no tomorrow. I will say two negative things firstly the battery it comes with isn't the best. This thing was one of the Max Output batteries for sure, but if you have one already slap it in and go! My second complaints is the bits that come with it aren't the best. I had one break on my during my first cuts... all that being said its worth the money if you have a bunch of things to cut out and your already inside the Rigid battery world.

                    Cheat code for drywall
                    I have already purchased one of these before and it did its job so well it’s one of the first tools I purchased after having my bag stolen out of my truck. Lighter than what I’ve used before and doesn’t make the same kind of messes as a drywall knife. For someone that runs low voltage frequently on retrofit residential jobs this has made my life significantly easier not to mention the benefit it gives me for drywall work on my remodels.

                      The product itself works great and is very easy to use. Guard comes right off and the same guard serves to loosen the bit holder. The only con is that the battery is does not come right off. I have to push the two buttons and then wiggle it some which is obnoxious when comparing it to my dewalt or Milwaukee tools. For the price is kind of hard to beat still.

                          Ridgid R84730B 18 Volt Drywall Cut -Out Tool – As with most Ridgid 18 volt Tools, this is the item number for a bare tool, (No battery or Charger) included…This tool is fairly new to the Ridgid 18 volt line of tools…This drywall cur-out tools offers the same features as other manufactures of cordless drywall cur-out tools…The most impressive feature is the warranty, Ridgid indicates this is a “No Hassel” warranty for three (3) years the tool will be replaced or repaired…If this tool is registered with Ridgid Power Tools within 90 days after purchase the tool qualifies for the “LSA” Lifetime Service Agreement, meaning Ridgid will replace any part of the tool that is defective or broken…I was informed the only batteries that qualify for the Lifetime Service Agreement are batteries that are included with a tool or batteries that are purchased with a charger, commonly called a starter kit…Single batteries purchased in plastic clam shell package, are only covered for the initial warranty period…So, if you have other Ridgid 18 volt tools and this is the tool platform you intend to keep using, always purchase tools that include batteries as a means of obtaining additional batteries…Individual batteries will cost at least $50.00, a ½” driver drill, charger and (1) or (2) batteries will cost about $159.00...That means the “LSA” will apply to the batteries and charger…I tested this tool cutting ½” and 5/8” drywall, I didn’t have the opportunity to cut cement board…The tool performed as indicated, intended and expected without any problems and equal to all other drywall cut-out tools manufactured…The pro or con to purchase this tool would be the brand of the tools and battery platform already owned and used every day…That said if I owned numerous Ridgid 18 volt tools, I would not hesitate to purchase this Drywall Cut-Out Tool...

                          This Ridgid drywall cutout tool seems to be a solid worker. First, the good: It is relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver. The depth of cut adjustment is a tool-free design with a simple flip lever to change the shoe position and the shoe - when removed from the tool - has a built-in wrench for bit changes (a very nice feature). The switch is recessed in the tool to prevent accidental activation and still manages to be easily accessible from multiple hand positions on the tool. The belt clip is sturdy and highly functional. The not-so-good: The user manual doesn't have even a listing of included accessories or tool diagram, so it took me a minute to figure out that the depth shoe also functioned as a wrench. Although it is in-line with the industry standard, there is no dust extraction/containment on this tool. Overall: A capable tool that will get the job done without any bells or whistles.
