- Is this kit powerful enough for deck building or framing?
- The impact driver's 1,850 in-lbs handles driving long screws, but the subcompact bodies and 2.0 Ah batteries are aimed at light to medium work. For sustained heavy fastening, larger MAX Output batteries and full-size tools are a better fit.
- How does it compare with the older R86114 and R86002 tools?
- Both new tools are substantially smaller and lighter than those models: the drill 25% lighter and 15% more compact, the impact driver 30% lighter and 25% more compact. The drill keeps 500 in-lbs of torque and the impact driver 1,850 in-lbs.
- Do the batteries work with other RIDGID 18V tools?
- Yes. The kit is fully compatible with all RIDGID 18V batteries, tools and chargers, so the two 2.0 Ah packs and charger work across the platform.
- What is the self-tapping mode on the impact driver?
- It is a dedicated setting that limits driving to prevent overdriving, breaking or stripping screws. It sits alongside the three speed settings.
- What comes in the box?
- The drill/driver, the impact driver, two 2.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries, a charger and a tool bag.
- Can I use larger MAX Output batteries with these tools?
- Yes. RIDGID states the tools pair with MAX Output batteries for maximum power, at the cost of added weight and bulk.
