@@ZeePirateMan I’m not sure about that, but I think the Ridgid has better ergonomics than the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee is forward heavy, but the Ridgid is just very well balanced.

On 12/29/23 , I got the rigid hammer drill, r86115k , there is a pause/delay when I first press the trigger, I read the literature and it says to press the trigger to turn the drill on, so maybe this is some kind of safety thing or whatever, I am not a fan of it, but I am retired so I will just have to get used to it, I'm loving the quality so far and the lifetime service agreement is hard to beat, I have owned dewalt for decades but having 2 drills fail in 5 years, both of which are almost 300 bucks each, kept inside a spare room, never dropped or abused, and after the 3 year warranty expired, I'm starting to not like dewalt anymore, we'll see how this new rigid does, I'm in west central Florida by the way, I noticed the chicken walking behind you, I'm wondering if you are in Florida as well, happy new year

That is ridgid’s integrated soft start When using tools like the jigsaw or maybe the angle grinder it is Good to have gradual acceleration but I agree on an impact drill let me handle it… I got the drill and case but I have the impact without the mode selector. I’ll use my Impact wrench on the big stuff! Hope your new year is going good from Texas

As "The General Expert" It is not practical to compare a 12V tool against an 18v tool as done in this video. Professionals and DYI's want Apples to Apples comparison. It is good to see Rigid stay relevant in this competitive tool market. Makita and Rigid both manufacture good reliable tools.

RIDGID does not stand up to their Life Time Warranty if they don't want to. I bought a combo kit 13 years ago before the registration LSA but still life time and it had 24v XLi batteries, they will not charge so I tried to get them to replace them and was told they were not registered, I register everything from toasters to tools, and they don't make 24v anymore. I have 3 power tools that collect dust because RIDGID doesn't care about their long time customers.
