Ridgid's 18V subcompact drill and driver kit stands out as a quieter, compact option with solid torque for everyday DIY work, and the lifetime service agreement adds real value when the tool is registered. The drill and impact are described as favorites, and the impact driver is compared favorably with older Milwaukee and Ryobi tools. The main caution is store specific pricing and stock, since availability ranges from sold out to clearance finds and the price has varied from about $45 to nearly $78. A practical pick if you can find it locally and want Ridgid's warranty support.

Common Questions (4)

  • Yes. The kit has been found on clearance end-caps, on shelves with other clearance items, and even stored high above the regular clearance area, so an in-store check can pay off when the website says unavailable. Stock and price vary by location.

  • Yes. Registered RIDGID tools are covered by the lifetime service agreement, which can be handled through a web form or by dropping the tool off at Home Depot's rental area for shipping. Replacement service can include a new chuck or even a brand-new unit.

  • The clearance price has been seen at $58.05, but some stores show different pricing such as $71.10, $77.98, or $78.05. One purchase came to $61.90 out the door after tax, and some remaining stock later dropped to $45.02.

  • It is reported to be much quieter than the Milwaukee M12 brushless subcompact drill/impact kit, and the RIDGID impact driver is also favored for indoor screw driving because it is noticeably quieter than a standard M12 Fuel impact. That makes it a better fit when noise matters.

Lifetime warranty (if you registered it). Use the web form and they'll give you a label to ship it in and they'll send it back with a new chuck.
Or, they'll send you a brand new one that is 7 years newer like they did with me. Also, you can take the tools into the stores rental area and drop them off there and they will ship it out for you, FYI. LOVE ME SOME LSA!

This one or Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Compact Drill/Driver Kit with 18V 2.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE Battery and Charger ? Some of the store have Ryobi one for $52 https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../332250132
Ridgid tools are better quality tools in general but that lineup of 300 different tools on the Ryobi 18V platform might be more important to some.

For Joe homeowner use, Ryobi will be fine.

I have one of Ridgid's older larger brushed drills. Is this worth getting if even just for the extra battery?

Dangit I just bought the Ryobi for $52 a couple days ago. This has 50 more torque, basically making it right in between the Ryobi at 450 and Milwaukee M12 at 550.

Wow, this is the first time in years that they actually had a clearance FP SD in stock! I was lucky in that the units were not in the clearance shelves but were still stored up high on top of the shelving. A super-helpful store associate named Cong went the extra mile and looked for them for me. I finally got one after waiting through Black Friday for a deal on exactly this item.

It was one of my favorite tools as well. However, mine broke after about 1 year of light use. The chuck actually broke. I was bummed because i liked it a lot!
You didn't use the lifetime warranty? I've exchanged one. Zero issues at home depot

For the ATL people - I saw 2 of these priced at $58 on the Clearance end-cap at the Midtown Atlanta location on Ponce yesterday.
Just grabbed one in Alpharetta (Windward Pkwy). They had at least one more there

If you're interested, but the Home Depot page says they don't have any stock, and you're close enough to your local store, it might be worth going in. The page says my store didn't have any, but I decided to go in and see what else I might not have been able to live without, and they actually had one of these kits on a shelf chalk full of other clearance stuff in the area where they usually have outdoor patio / holiday decoration stuff (my town has a small Home Depot, not one of the Walmart Supercenter-sized stores, so YMMV).
