Our take on the 18V SubCompact Brushless 2-Tool Combo Kit with Drill/Driver, Impact Driver, (2) 2.0 Ah Batteries, Charger, and Tool Bag

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.

What reviewers say

Complaints tend to focus on battery runtime with the small 2.0 Ah packs and on the drill's limits in heavy drilling.

What people mention
  • WeightPraisedOwners say the subcompact tools are noticeably lighter than full-size 18V models, which helps on overhead and one-handed work.
  • Battery runtimeCriticisedThe included 2.0 Ah packs are seen as fine for light jobs but quick to drain during sustained drilling or driving.
  • Drill powerMixedReviewers find the drill adequate for most home tasks but limited with large bits or hard materials.
  • Impact modesPraisedThe self-tapping and multi-speed settings are called useful for avoiding stripped or overdriven screws.
  • Build qualityPraisedOwners describe the tools as solid and well made for the class.

About the 18V SubCompact Brushless 2-Tool Combo Kit with Drill/Driver, Impact Driver, (2) 2.0 Ah Batteries, Charger, and Tool Bag

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.

Questions and answers

Is this kit enough for home projects?
Yes for most household work: assembly, shelving, deck screws and light drilling. For repeated large-hole drilling or heavy framing, a full-size 18V drill is a better fit.
Do the batteries fit other RIDGID 18V tools?
Yes. The 2.0 Ah batteries work with all RIDGID 18V tools, and the charger can charge other RIDGID 18V packs.
How does it compare with RIDGID's full-size brushless tools?
The drill is 15% more compact and 25% lighter than the R86114, and the impact driver is 25% more compact and 30% lighter than the R86002. The full-size tools make more power but weigh more.
What is in the box?
The drill/driver, the four-mode impact driver, two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a tool bag.
How do I get the lifetime service agreement?
Register the kit within 90 days of purchase. Registration covers free parts and service for the life of the tools.
Does the impact driver have a work light?
Yes, the impact driver has an LED light for low-light work, and the drill/driver has one as well.
