Ridgid 18V 2-Tool Combo Kit vs RIDGID 18V Brushless 2-Tool Combo Kit
Buy the RIDGID R9208 kit for most shoppers. Its hammer drill reaches 800 in./lbs. of torque and 2,100 RPM, and the 3-speed impact driver delivers 2,300 in./lbs., so it covers masonry, deck screws and lag bolts. The R9272 kit is lighter and cheaper-feeling in hand, with a 525 in./lbs. drill and a single-speed 1,850 in./lbs. impact driver, and its listing is muddled about jig saw and router contents. Both carry RIDGID's lifetime service agreement and use the same 18V batteries.
- Choose the RIDGID R9272 kit if you mostly drill and drive in wood and metal and want the lighter drill in hand.
- Choose the RIDGID R9208 kit if you drill masonry, drive lag bolts, or want the bigger 4.0 Ah battery and 3-speed impact control.
