Using the 12v drill I was able to easily change out the cabinet hardware with newer, more modern, style knobs. I was able to quickly and efficiently install all of the hardware for her with no issues. Again the performance was just as expected and anticipated. Whether it is simple around the house projects or small projects that keep loyal customers happy, these tools will get the job done.
There are always going to be projects where 18 volt drills are too big and bulky for your specific needs. Custom decks, fireplace makeovers, kitchens and bathrooms, Scott enjoys the frame to finish concept.

Seems awfully fitting to be reading my buddy vond.
After drilling the caisson the crane flies in the. Drilling caissons at LAX for a new terminal. As we reflect back, on whether we were review. Happy New Years to you all! In Costa Rica for vacation and visiting some famil. It doesn't look like the jaws of the chuck itself are off center, but I'm a bit worried, as my other Ridgid drills have developed a bit of an off-center condition in the chucks.
Have to wait and see. The chuck also does not have the ratcheting little noise when tightening it. I sort of like that, as it lets me know when I'm good to go. The clutch settings are quite nice - works nice.
Overall drill speed, when used in conjunction with a light clutch setting for the work you are doing, makes this drill a very functional little unit.
It would be phenomenal for installing cabinetry and similar uses. I used it tonight for readjusting our cabinet doors in the kitchen at home - they badly needed it. Much nicer to use this tool rather than a handheld screwdriver, or my 18 volt "compact" lithium ion drill.
The LED light is okay - a neat little feature that's coming out on new tools. I like it. I don't yet know overall run times. I will update more as I get more chance to use it further.
Overall, this little drill will blend in nicely with my other Ridgid tools, as the styling works well with the MaxSelect and the various lithium-ion tools that are out. I like the very compact nature of it, and know I'll find some indisposable uses for it eventually. Right now, I'm giving this tool about a 3.
I'll keep it, unless it turns out to be a dud. Last edited by canucksartech ; , PM. Tags: drill or driver , lithiumion , ridgid , volt. I like the idea of a chuck on a compact drill as I want to drill pilot holes for small projects.
Maybe you have a faulty piece? Comment Post Cancel. Andrew M. This seems typical as Ridgid seems to buy the cheapest chucks on their drills which lead to runout and loose bits.
A chuck is a critical part of any drill. Has the QD chuck though. I have Bosch ps40 and 10 which far out class this Ridgid tool. I will stay with my older 12V ridgid drill driver. The display model's chuck was so tight that I could barely turn it to adjust the jaws. Seemed odd. Originally posted by jaco View Post. Thanks for the review, The chuck part of your review worries me as a design problem with this tool, I have yet to lay my hands on the tool you are talking about, I intend to take a look at it this weekend.
Other HDs displayed the unit without the battery. It was difficult to choose between R and the new sub compact Milwaukee. My R performed well and did not have the chuck wobble.
I went for the torque and sacrificed the size advantage for now. The R is definitely compact enough and light enough for my home projects. If the price for the Bosch pocket drivers drop because of the competition I may consider them. Currently the Bosch Xmas specials are still available, i. Last edited by reConx ; , AM. Tried to keep it as factual as possible. I also have the R, and think it's a fairly nice piece of hardware.
I'm quite happy with it to date. I'm looking at either getting this or the Milwaukee 12v lithium driver. Mine is working quite well. The outer shell of the chuck does have that wobble to it, but it is just the outer cover. The chuck jaws themselves are dead center.
I've used a bunch of longer bits brand new, sure and straight , as well have tested it with a test shaft. This drill's chuck, even with the outer sheath wobble, is holding bits dead center. It's actually more dead center than my 18v and 24v Ridgid drills.
Bang on with this one. Used everyday, just over 2 weeks now.
