This is an odd set as ridgid seems to have taken a step backwards, a couple generations, bringing back the Brushed motors with the terribly mounted led lighting in the handles. For the price it's a deal. The same Brushed set years ago was $99. When ridgid went brushless prices took off. Then people learned the hard way brushless isn't always the best system for consistent use as the motors burn out and can't be repaired by changing the brushes. I wonder if stepping backwards into Brushed motors ridgid is trying to offset those burnt out LSA losses with prior existing tech.

I see a lot of Ryobi talk. It's good for the homeowner. Ryobi has a lot of gimmick tools as well. But it's just not really a tool I'd trust for consistent use regardless of what motors or internal parts cross the assembly line with other brands. Ridgid is along side Ryobi as both are home depot brands. I trust the prior generation of ridgid tools. The latest Gen feels cheap. In the end find a brand you trust so you don't invest in various tools and batteries that don't work off each other.

Dewalt was mentioned, I've had lots of issues with Dewalt chucks on their drills. So much I stopped using Dewalt. Ridgid never a problem with the chuck, I've also noticed battery failures in Dewalt more than any other brand. Just my real world observation working in the entertainment industry where guys run tools 12 hours a day. Ridgid, you either get a good battery, or you don't. I've had a few DOA new in the package batteries from ridgid.

With Ryobi VS ridgid batteries. Ridgid batteries are easier to pocket and carry being flat on top as Ryobi has the old type neck that goes into the handle.

Lastly it's always a pet peeve of mine when people mistakenly refer to the ridgid Lifetime Service Agreement as a lifetime warranty. Read the LSA stipulations and requirements. It's Not a warranty. If you send something in it's on your own dime, and if they don't honor the service agreement it's your dime to have it sent back. It's a marketing gimmick for the most part.

All that said I choose ridgid over all other brands. But as stated the prior Gen of tools. Not sure I'd trust the latest Gen as it just doesn't feel proper and again they stepped backwards not forwards to advance the tech. All based on my experience of course. You're opinion may vary.
So the trick with Ridgid is to go on the home Depot app daily and just browse their tools. Randomly for one day only they will have crazy 30-60 percent off online only. Goes away the next day. Just check while you poop
I have had my two batteries replaced three times and chuck once, over the last 15 years, and it didn't cost me a dime. I dropped the drill off at an authorized repair facility for the Chuck and batteries once and twice they sent me batteries after claiming on their website. I never had to ship my drill or batteries. I have nothing but praise for Ridgid!

My experience with the Lifetime Warranty has been fantastic. I called a few months ago about a dead battery. She asked for the particulars about which battery that I had under warranty and sent a new one within a week. She asked that I dispose of the old battery appropriately and the kicker was she said don't forget to register the new battery as that one included a lifetime warranty too!

How r this vs the DeWalt posted earlier..Any thoughts..I need something to drill for brick,wood around home only

I wanted an impact driver & after reading reviews & watching YouTube side by sides I went with Makita for weight, sound & quality. My husband kept talking about Ridgid's warranty so kind of as a joke bought him his own Rigid drill/driver set on sale from an online outlet. After using my Makita & his Ridgid side by side, I actually prefer the Rigid. I seems just as light & it's one handed bit changing is smoother.
I have a couple sons in their 20's that do trade work. So last week I ordered my plumber kid a Milwaukee (his choice) drill & driver. Then I ordered my roofer kid (he just switched to sales but aspires to be a contractor) the DeWalt Atomic impact driver (his choice, but we all wanted that one!). Milwaukee is in and the DeWalt comes in Friday so I'll get to compare them Friday or Saturday if I don't get called into work. Guess I'll report back then!

I picked up this set a year ago and it has not let me down in the slightest. Signed up for the warranty without any real hassle.

My only complaint is just how expensive the other tools are and that they rarely go on any meaningful sales. I'm just your average homeowner that does some small woodworking projects on the side occasionally, but I sorta wish I had went with a Ryobi cordless system instead. Is that crazy?

I like the variety Ryobi has and their prices but I chose Ridgid because of the warranty and they also have good prices too when you can wait for the sales. I have both brands but mostly Ridgid.
I'm a homeowner too, no big projects.

I wouldn't say this is odd, it's just Ridgid's bottom end set. They still make brushless.

Ridgid just put out a new brushless set of these, so take that for what it's worth. I own the drill from this set and like it. It's much smaller than the gen 4 one.

R872311K is the new impact. R87012K is the new drill. They are smaller overall.
Those model numbers are for their newest subcompact drill and drivers. Not as powerful as their full size brushless tools.

If I may add this, The Ryobis are so unbelievable cheap on deals that they border on being disposable. If you run a drill or impact hard enough to wear it out, you can replace it with a new one for $20-25. Maybe not quite contractor grade stuff, but does very well with most home and light commercial uses. The Ryobi P717 LED spotlight is by far the brightest I've ever owned; it's a real beast. I've overall been very pleased with the value that the Ryobi 18V ecosystem has offered. Never thought I'd use a cordless electric weed trimmer, but my Ryobi does the job with power to spare and there are none of the gas engine hassles. Got it in combo with a turbo blower, 4AH battery, and charger for $49 shipped at Secondipity a while back.

Speaking of Secondipity, they have the Ryobi 1/2" drill driver with 1.5AH battery and charger for $24.99 right now. Pretty solid deal. Only one left in stock though.

Man, this is tempting but I know if I buy it come black friday there's going to be even better deals on tools. I already have a Ryobi drill and impact driver. Also have a Hart impact driver but I'm a sucker for great deals on tools.
