The RIDGID R97801 is an 18V two-tool combo kit built around subcompact brushless tools: a 1/2 in. drill/driver rated at 500 in./lbs. of torque and a four-mode impact driver with three speeds plus a self-tapping mode. Both tools are smaller and lighter than RIDGID's full-size brushless models, which makes the kit easier to carry and use overhead or in tight spaces. It ships with two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a tool bag, and the batteries work with any RIDGID 18V tool. The trade-off is modest capacity: 2.0 Ah packs suit light and medium jobs, and the drill's torque is below full-size 18V drivers. Buyers who register within 90 days get RIDGID's lifetime service agreement covering parts and service.

Complaints tend to focus on battery runtime with the small 2.0 Ah packs and on the drill's limits in heavy drilling.
The RIDGID R97801 is an 18V SubCompact Brushless 2-tool combo kit. It pairs brushless motors with a compact tool design. The kit includes a 1/2 in. drill/driver and a 4-mode impact driver.
The drill/driver delivers 500 in./lbs. of torque, enough to drill large spade bits through 2x4s. It is 15% more compact and 25% lighter than the 18V Brushless model R86114. A 2-speed gearbox lets users match torque and speed to the job, and an LED light improves visibility in low light.
The impact driver has 3 speeds and a self-tapping mode that helps prevent overdriving, breaking or stripping screws. It is 25% more compact and 30% lighter than the R86002 impact driver. Both tools are compatible with all RIDGID 18V batteries.
