Does the R860012 come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a tool only, so you need an 18V RIDGID battery and charger, or a kit you already own.

Is this drill eligible for RIDGID's Lifetime Service Agreement?

No. RIDGID states this tool is not eligible for the Lifetime Service Agreement, unlike many of its other 18V tools.

Can it drill into concrete?

Yes. It has a hammer drill mode for light masonry work such as brick and concrete anchors, alongside normal drilling and driving.

How does it compare with the previous RIDGID hammer drill?

It is 45% more compact and keeps 525 in./lbs. of torque with the same two-speed range, so it fits into tighter spaces with similar power.

What chuck does it use?

A 1/2 in. single-sleeve ratcheting chuck, which accepts standard 1/2 in. shank bits.

Our take on the RIDGID 18 Volt Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill R860012 (Tool Only)

The RIDGID R860012 is an 18V cordless hammer drill/driver sold as a bare tool. It delivers 525 in./lbs. of torque through a two-speed gearbox (0-500/0-1,800 RPM) and a 24-position clutch with a hammer mode for drilling masonry. It is 45% more compact than the model it replaces, which makes it easier to handle overhead and in tight spots. It suits people already on the RIDGID 18V battery platform who want a lighter hammer drill; rivals like DeWalt and Milwaukee bare tools offer similar torque, but this one is not eligible for RIDGID's Lifetime Service Agreement, a real drawback against other RIDGID tools.
