Our take on the RIDGID 18 Volt SubCompact Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver (Tool Only) R87012

The RIDGID R87012 is a tool-only 18V brushless 1/2 in. drill/driver built for compact handling. It delivers 500 in./lbs. of torque, enough for large spade bits through 2x4s, and its two-speed gearbox matches speed and torque to the task. RIDGID says it is 15% more compact and 25% lighter than the 18V Brushless R86114, so it suits overhead and tight-space work. It is not eligible for RIDGID's Lifetime Service Agreement, which is the main trade-off against the brand's full-size brushless drills.

Questions and answers

Is the R87012 powerful enough for spade bits?
RIDGID rates it at 500 in./lbs. and says it drills large spade bits through 2x4s. That covers most framing and rough-in drilling, though full-size 18V drills have more torque for the heaviest work.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is sold as a tool only, so you need an RIDGID 18V battery and charger, or a kit you already own.
How does it compare with the RIDGID R86114?
RIDGID says the R87012 is 15% more compact and 25% lighter than the R86114 while keeping brushless performance. The R86114 is the larger, heavier option with more torque.
Does it qualify for the Lifetime Service Agreement?
No. RIDGID states this tool is not eligible for the Lifetime Service Agreement, so check the standard warranty terms instead.
What chuck size does it have?
It has a 1/2 in. chuck, which accepts a wide range of drill and driver bits.
Is it good for overhead work?
Its lighter, more compact body is the point of the SubCompact line, and that helps when working overhead or in tight spots.
