Questions & Answers
What's the difference between R862301 and R862311 models? Is it because one has 3 speeds? I don't understand why that would matter with variable speed triggers. Thank you.
Hello, Dsubzero7 - A "3-speed impact driver" has a dedicated switch to select between three distinct power levels, while a "normal impact driver with variable speed trigger" allows you to control the speed and power simply by how hard you squeeze the trigger, offering a more continuous range of speeds within its capabilities; essentially, the 3-speed model gives you preset power levels, while the variable speed gives you more fine-tuned control over the power output depending on your grip on the trigger. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone or text at 1.866.539.1710, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact. This question is from RIDGID 18V Brushless Cordless 1/4 in. Impact Driver (Tool Only) (R862301B).
Does an impact driver use impact to loosen a bolt or does it loosen the same as a standard drill?
Hello, Doug - Thank you for your question. In an impact driver there is an anvil that hammers inside the tool while it spins. I hope this helps! Additionally, if you need further support, then a RIDGID Customer Experience Professional is here for you, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 6 pm (EST) when you call or text us at 1.866.539.1710 or through email or live chat when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact.

Is this impact variable speed with the trigger?
Hello, Jimmy - Thank you for your question. Yes. The variable speed is controlled by the trigger. The more you pull the trigger the faster it will go. I hope this helps! Additionally, if you need further support, then a RIDGID Customer Experience Professional is here for you, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 6 pm (EST) when you call or text us at 1.866.539.1710 or through email or live chat when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact.

Yes, I have my doubts too but now after a persistent used. And a convert kit I’ll go from a 1/4 to 3/8 and 1/2 inch conversion without any problems .
I've used Model R86035 for 10 years. It finally stopped the hammering portion but I must add, I've used the heck out of this thing and it was worth the money. Very durable and I've used it for everything.
Yes, I build polebarns with this drill. It drives 3 inch screws, timber locks, lag bolts and sheet metal screws with ease. It's light weight and batteries last all day.
This uses standard size bits, 1/4 inch is normal, and is good for most purposes. I recently ordered this and I've used it rebuilding my 20x50' deck and it was more than powerful enough for the job.
