The subcompact line is a nice balance of size and power. Much easier to use for overhead work or tight spaces, and the extra battery makes this a solid starter kit if you're getting into the Ridgid platform.

I just got mine and it seems nice but maybe I should return the bigger battery to make the deal even more slick

Go to the kit only page (below) and select the free tool as the battery. When you add to cart, it'll have an itemized price for each. You can pick up one and cancel or return the other. I haven't done it in a few years, but some self righteous wackos think it's fraud, even though HD themselves itemize it and allow the returns, hence the downvote you and I got.

Not hackable. Adds to the cart with only a total price. No breakdown.
