Community Reviews

RIDGID's 18V subcompact brushless drill and impact driver kit stands out for its lightweight, nimble feel and solid everyday power. The drill is described as light with plenty of torque, and the set has held up well in regular use for years. The lifetime warranty adds appeal, especially at a clearance price. The main concern is battery and trigger quality, with reports of dead batteries, broken triggers, and boxes that may have sat on shelves for a long time. A compact option that fits frequent use better than heavy-duty jobs.

  • The drill is light while still delivering strong power and torque for regular use.

  • The subcompact Ridgid tools are nimble and lightweight, making them easier to grab for frequent tasks.

  • The kit can be worth considering when the lifetime warranty is a priority for long-term ownership.

  • Some buyers report using the tools regularly for nearly three years without issues.

  • The impact driver trigger can arrive broken or feel flimsy, which may require a return.

  • The kit can arrive with dead batteries, including reports of both batteries being completely dead on arrival.

  • Battery age and shelf storage may contribute to dead-on-arrival batteries when stock rotation is poor.

  • The combo kit may be overkill for basic apartment or house needs compared with simpler alternatives.

I bought the sub compact drill kit on clearance for $50 a while back.

It might be worth snagging for the sub compact drill kit impact driver and extra drill and batteries

I remember the good old days before tariffs and such, when this kit was $77 for Black Friday.

Probably overkill for basic apartment or house needs. Could probably get away with Ryobi. I used rebranded 1st gen M12 tools for years before moving to Ridgid and expanding my collection

I'm not knocking these tools. I love them and use them all the time, for almost 3 years now.

Holy hell, they increased the msrp 33%?
$100 is not bad, but $77 is great

Just picked 2 of these and I opened one of them and the trigger is broken on the impact. 😒 Feels very flimsy now I gotta return it.

That's crazy. I'm sorry to hear that this thing broke right out of the gate. For the first time in the last 10 years, I finally opened my first LSA ticket a few weeks ago to have my blower repair.

Not sure how bad this experience has left a bitter taste in your mouth. You may not even want to spend another penny on RIdgid. Provided you wanted to keep the tools and the store might have sold out, I am curious if it's worth your time to even consider asking custom service at the store to REPLACE (instead of return for a refund) the same or better model?

I bought this set at $169 the end of 2024. Haven't needed the impact driver yet but absolutely love the drill. Light and has a ton of power and torque. Seems well made

Got this yesterday and the batteries are dead and one trigger is broken so both are going back. Did anyone else that got this have any issues with batteries being DOA? I don't really want to jump the batteries and I feel like I shouldn't have to brand new out of the box.

youtube reviews and tests say different. Life time warranty itself is worth every penny!!
