- Is this drill brushless?
- Yes. The motor is brushless, which means less heat and longer motor life than a brushed drill. The listing's motor field says brushed, but the product name and the brushless design point to a brushless motor.
- How much torque does it have?
- Up to 525 in./lbs. That is enough for driving screws and drilling into wood and light metal, but heavy auger bits and large hole saws will strain it.
- What comes in the kit?
- The drill, one 18V 2.0 Ah lithium-ion battery, a charger and a carrying case. It does not include a second battery or a bit set.
- Does it have a hammer mode?
- No. This is a drill/driver only, so it is not made for drilling into concrete or brick. Use a rotary hammer for masonry.
- What size chuck does it take?
- A 1/2 in. keyless metal chuck. It accepts bits with shanks up to 1/2 in., including most hex-shank driver bits with an adapter.
- Can I use other RIDGID 18V batteries?
- Yes. It runs on RIDGID's 18V lithium-ion battery platform, so larger capacity packs from other RIDGID 18V tools will fit and extend run time.
