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.

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.
I personally have never had any DOA with Ridgid. Random thoughts: Was the box sealed? What were the chances that it was a return? And, somebody did something funny with it?

When I was Home Depot to pick up the Ridgid hybrid fan a month ago, the guy unlocked the cage and pulled the box out. Next thing you know, he said "oh the box looked 're-taped' although I didn't think so. He opened the box and checked everything for me. He added "I just wanna make sure it is brand new like you expect it." I had an impression that people return tools after use but claim that the box has never been opened.

Home Depot doesn't have the best system to rotate the stock. These subcompact tools were first released in 2020.
It's possible your box has been sitting on the shelf for years plus they don't ship the batteries 'fully' charged.

If you look at the first two digits of the serial code after "CS", that's the year the battery was manufactured: For example serial # CS22382Nxxxxx means it was made in the 38th week of 2022.

I just grabbed this yesterday and both of the batteries are also completely dead... they have a build date of 2022, so that makes sense. I wonder if home depot will just exchange the batteries... don't think im that lucky.

i bought the $35 ridgid Bluetooth speaker kit and it had a DOA battery. i called ridgid and they had me do some basic troubleshooting and after 10 minutes, they placed an order to ship a replacement battery that showed up in 1 week.

i'd give them a call
