Questions & Answers

Pick up this combo last week, but opened the box today. The Impact driver rattles when moved or shaken. It's like the motor or something is loose or sliding up and down a shaft where you can hear and feel it. Is this normal?

                    Lifetime warranty is a scam
                    I needed to replace all of my dewalt tools to keep them separate from a co-worker. I purchased the subcompact drill driver kit, the 18v shop vac, and a 16 gallon shop vac. The shop vac melted the cord in two weeks and rigid wouldn’t honor the warranty because they said I couldn’t prove the extension cord didn't melt the cord. They won’t register the drill driver because I lost the reciept, which is a requirement for the warranty. They make it really difficult to register the products hoping people will give up, if you do get it registered they don’t honor the warranty. The lifetime warranty is a scam, do you want to do business with a that dishonest. I still need to race all of my tools not sure which direction to go now.

                      The drill is good overall, light weight, powerful, variable speed control, high speed, ergonomic. However the impact driver is disappointing because of excessive play in the quick release chuck. This results in excessive wobble and during operation the drive mechanism is noticeably unbalanced. It is worse when using a long 6" impact bit and at high speed. I have two subcompact impact drivers and one larger, all are almost new, and they all wobble the impact bits excessively.

                      Poor craftsmanship, poor engineering!
                      I purchased this combo 3 days ago. Drilled 3 small pilot holes in a treated lumber gate to install a latch using 1/4” lag bolts supplied with the latch. While pulling the pilot drill back out of the 3rd hole the chuck and the shaft pulled straight out of the end of the drill. The bearing was supposed to be kept in place inside a plastic bearing housing. Very poor design/ engineering. Then I attempted to use the impact driver to install the lag bolts. It barely had enough torque to start the lag bolts into the wood. I got my old Rigid full size impact driver (non-brushless) and finished driving in the lags with no problems. These subcompact brushless tools were a huge disappointment after owning Ridgid drivers for several years. I returned them to the stop and pick up a Milwaukee. Oh and BTW, this was after spending the whole first evening after I bought them attempting to register them online. Their process is ridiculous!!! I’ll probably be switching over from orange to all Red power hand tools in the near future!!

                        Very solid tools The new design fits my hand a lot better. I have long piano fingers very lightweight easy to carry around The new subcompact had no problem at all put the 3 inch screw in just as good as my regular rigid 1/4 impact The new hammer clutch system in it, makes it a little noisier, I think, but does not bother performance at all good product recommended to anybody The 3 inch drill the new design to hold the bit much better never let go. Nothing even with small bits very good. I’d recommend that drill to anyone also.

                        After giving the RIDGID Brushless 4 mode impact driver and drill a shot, I am really impressed. Of course, the top-notch warranty provided by RIDGID was a deciding factor in my purchase, and the products have certainly lived up to my expectations. The price-performance ratio of these power tools is truly commendable, and their quality and features meet, if not exceed, market standards. I have hundreds of red and blue power tools from the top brands at Home Depot, but RIDGID is quickly making its way into my tool boxes and tool bags, thanks to its impressive warranty and great performance. The RIDGID SubCompact Drill/Impact Kit was a joy to unbox. The design of the kit is worth praising; the storage bag may not be built for strenuous daily use, but it is perfect for occasional use around the house. The compact charger is portable and can also be wall-mounted along with all of the other chargers I have. The 18V batteries are reasonably sized and don't add much weight, but I feel they won't take rough use as well as my batteries with a rubber base. The controls and switches are well-positioned and seem durable enough for robust use. The various modes allow for versatile tool adjustment to match the task at hand. The RIDGID tool kit comes equipped with an 18V drill/driver and impact driver, two batteries, a charger, and a storage bag. The drivers are lightweight and compact, running on a 2.0 amp hour lithium battery. The package includes a lifetime service agreement, offering free batteries, parts, and service. Both drivers are lighted, and the batteries feature a charge indicator, proving quite handy during prolonged use. The location of the lights on the base of the tool is a noticeable departure from the head-mounted ones I'm accustomed to on my other drill/drivers and impact drivers. While it certainly illuminates the workspace, it doesn't provide as concentrated a beam to the specific work area as my other tools do. I'm still assessing whether this design choice poses an issue or not - but so far, it hasn't been a problem. The battery charging time is reasonable, about 2 hours from completely drained on the regular charger. Even faster with the RIDGID 18V 6-Port Sequential Charger. Overall, I would highly recommend these tools for a wide range of home and work applications.

                        Excellent quality and value on sale.
                        The Rigid brushless 4 mode impact driver and drill convinced me to try Rigid for the first time. Rigid warranty also helped me decide. Both the Rigid drill and impact driver are great for the price. I will probably purchase better Rigid charger. The included charger plug transformer was slightly warm during use. Both are excellent quality and have great features. Right now I personally enjoy and use both brands. I think Rigid will easily become a favorite brand too because of the warranty.

                          I usually use makita drills due to their lightweight vs power and durability as a contractor. I decided to try this package to see how it holds up.

                          Really do like this RIDGID kit!
                          I’ll save you some reading and let you know that I’m highly satisfied with this RIDGID SubCompact Drill/Impact Kit. From the moment I opened the box, I almost couldn’t be happier with it. Partly because almost everything I needed, with the exception of electricity and my choice of bits was already in the bag. It’s been several years since I worked in the trades, so this kit is for my DIY, around the house and the times that I’m helping someone out. The design of the entire kit is excellent. The bag may be a little lightweight for daily use in the trades, but it’s perfect for how I use it. The charger is compact enough to keep in the bag or you can wall mount it. The 18V batteries aren’t too heavy or oversized and then there’s the actual Drill and Impact Driver. At least for now, I no kidding get excited when I pull them out of the bag. They’re just incredibly nice tools and they work great. It would be annoying if I tried to cover everything I like about the set, but an example is the drill chuck. It’s got to be one of the nicest that I have ever used, and I’m sure there are at least eight or more different drill chucks that I use around the shop and house. Both of the tools are powerful and they just feel and work well in the hand. My most recent drill/driver is a heavy and enormous 24V tool. Compared to my old tools, you can imagine just how much better this SubCompact size is. It’s also much more maneuverable and these tools are comfortable, very well balanced and capable of some serious work. The controls, buttons and switches are well thought out and seem to be made for some rugged work. There are some electronic modes to select different settings. Those setting actually are useful and I can tell that they are adjusting the tool to match the task. I genuinely could just keep on going on and on with things that I like about these tools, but the bottom line is, from my use, I would absolutely recommend this RIDGID tool kit.
