- Is the R86115 worth it over the older R8611506?
- Yes, if you want a smaller, lighter drill. RIDGID rates it 35% more compact and 20% lighter with the same 800 in./lbs. of torque. The older model is only worth picking if you find it much cheaper.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- No. This is the tool-only bulk pack: you get the drill and bulk packaging. Some listings mention a 4.0Ah battery, charger and soft case, but those are not part of this SKU. Buy RIDGID 18V batteries separately.
- Can it drill into concrete?
- Yes, in hammer mode at up to 31,500 BPM. Use masonry bits and expect slower going in hard concrete; for repeated large holes, a corded SDS rotary hammer is faster.
- Which batteries should I pair with it?
- RIDGID recommends its MAX Output batteries for full power. A 4.0Ah or 6.0Ah pack gives longer runtime in hammer mode; smaller 2.0Ah packs keep the drill light for driving.
- What is in the box?
- The hammer drill/driver only, in bulk packaging. No battery, charger, case or confirmed auxiliary handle is included.
- When is the price lowest?
- Bare-tool prices like this tend to dip around Black Friday and spring tool sales. At $69.88 at WoodArtSupply as of November 4, 2026, it is already near the low end for a brushless hammer drill.
