Q:how do you put a drill bit in rigid 18v max 6ah
by|Apr 21, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Hello, Rays - Thank you for your question. To install bits, lock the switch trigger. Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the drill bit. Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle, then tighten. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck. Rotate the chuck sleeve to close and tighten the chuck jaws. I hope this helps!

Big hands may be a problem
Basically this drill is very well made, works like a charm, but, if you have large hands and thick trigger finger, it's likely that your trigger finger will often hit the direction buttons thereby shifting the direction of rotation to neutral or to counterclockwise or to clockwise. This is very aggravating and potentially dangerous if you're using your other hand to hang onto a ladder rung or elsewhere to maintain your position and/or balance. I put up with this one shortcoming for two years before switching to another cordless drill.

Waay better than expected!
Im a tool snob and a professional user on industrial jobs. I needed this in a pinch. Even on a small 2.0 battery, this thing has surprising power and run time. I will definitely buy more Ridgid 18v. BTW the charger flashing is normal. Read the instructions. Its different from some other charger light indicators. Hope this helps!

My husband and I are always coming up with new home improvement projects and a high quality durable drill is important to have. The 18 volt lithium ion brushless drill is durable, powerful and perfect for any project whether for do-it-yourself or professional level jobs. The light that illuminates during use is helpful to visualize the desired location and even though it’s super powerful , it’s surprisingly quiet which I like.

This new design is a nice improvement to the compact line up. This works flawlessly with any of Ridgids 18V batteries, I have some older Li-ions and tried them and they worked no problem as well as the newest Octane versions. Without a battery the drill has a nice overall weight and feel. easy to hold and comfortable. the weight really comes from the battery. so depending on what size you use, your mileage will vary. With the largest 9 ah battery the drill does become heavy, which is not typically an issue for DIY work. the weight comes into play if you are doing a lot of work and are holding the drill for long periods. I added a comparison photo to the review so you can see the size difference compared to a compact version and the sub-compact. I also compared it size wise to the newer compact Dewalt 20v drills and it is comparable in size. I drilled 20 2 inch screws into pine studs using each drill and the same battery. Performance was identical on both which was impressive. both drills got slightly warm toward the end. The difference it did notice is that this brushless drill is a bit quieter and also there is a momentary delay when you press the trigger, similar to that split second delay when you turn on an LED light. something you will soon forget but I did notice it. I have used this on several small projects around the over the past 3 weeks, not one negative to mention. I did not install the belt hook, I always add them but never end up using them. This has an LED light in the base where the battery connects which lights the work area well. and is activated by a small switch on the trigger which allows you to light the area without having to engage the drill. I didn't bother providing run times as it will be completely dependent on the battery you chose

A powerful drill in a delightfully compact package. I love that this drill is small and light enough to easily use one-handed (I have small hands and have struggled with the balance of the larger Ridgid drills). Plus it fits easily into tight spaces! And all without sacrificing power or durability. Really love having this on hand for any and all kinds of projects.

This subcompact drill is very easy to maneuver in tight spaces, and light enough to hold in awkward positions. It has an LED light to see in dark or shady spots, and a comfortable non-slip grip. I'm really liking how easy this is to use, and still has 400 lbs. of torque. Since this hand tool is compatible with my other RIGID tools, I can use the same batteries and chargers. This is a great hand tool, and has a super warranty.

Sometimes it is necessary to have two of something around the house. In my case, we are a husband/wife team and jobs go a lot faster if we each have tools. This drill/driver runs on batteries we already own because most of the tools in our shop are Ridgid. This particular model is smaller in stature that our other one, but it has plenty of power for everything we will need it for. The torque is easy to change on the front dial. Everything about it is solid and made for work and it is a bonus that it fits in smaller hands.

I'm angry that it doesn't come with a battery. That was really disappointing. Now I need to go to Home Depot and get a battery, which I'm going to do cause I like how light weight it is and the design. Hopefully the battery want weight it down. Seems girl friendly and I really couldn't wait to use it, but miner set back should have read the box better, my fault.
