Hello, Freddie - The RIDGID R8711K is a compact 1/2" cordless hammer drill designed for light‑to‑medium concrete work, with around 425–500 in‑lbs of torque and a standard hammer mode. While it can handle small anchor holes in concrete, it is not suitable for drilling a 4" hole, which is considered a large-diameter cut and requires much higher impact energy. Jobs that size typically need a rotary hammer (SDS/SDS Max) or a dedicated core drill with a diamond core bit, as standard hammer drills are generally limited to much smaller holes (around 1/2" or less in concrete). In short, the R8711K won’t have enough power or the right mechanism for that application. 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.

Hello, Curious - Yes, with the 18V rotary hammer you can absolutely use 3/8" and 1/2" masonry bits. It is not limited to 1/4" or smaller bits.

Previous answer is not helpful at all. Why would both drill kits be the same product if there is a $20 price difference and each kit has a different part number? You gotta do better than that, Ridgid, in answering customer questions.
