What tools are in this kit?

A 1/2-inch drill/driver, a 1/4-inch impact driver, and an 18V NUKE SubCompact brushless one-handed reciprocating saw. All three are brushless 18V tools.

How does the drill compare with full-size 18V drills?

It makes 750 in-lbs of torque and tops out at 2,000 RPM in two speeds. That is enough for most drilling and driving, but full-size 18V drills deliver more torque for large hole saws and auger bits.

Is the impact driver strong enough for lag bolts and deck screws?

It is rated at 2,000 in-lbs with 3,800 RPM and 5,000 IPM, which covers deck screws, framing and install fastening. Very large lags in dense wood may still call for a full-size impact wrench.

What is the one-handed recip saw good for?

Cutting in tight spots where you need one hand free, such as overhead pipe, studs and branch work. It is a subcompact saw, so expect slower cuts in thick dimensional lumber than a full-size recip saw.

Does it use the same batteries as other Ridgid 18V tools?

Yes. It runs on Ridgid's 18V battery platform, so packs from other Ridgid 18V tools work in these. Confirm which batteries and charger are included before buying.

What does the Lifetime Service Agreement cover?

Ridgid's Lifetime Service Agreement covers eligible tools for repair or replacement of worn parts for the life of the tool, subject to registration. It applies to the tools, not to consumables like blades and bits.
