Our take on the RIDGID R87012K 18V SubCompact Brushless 1/2 in. Cordless Drill Kit

The RIDGID R87012K is an 18V subcompact brushless drill/driver kit built for light drilling and fastening in wood, metal and plastic. Its brushless motor puts out up to 500 in-lbs of torque in a short, light body, with a two-speed gearbox (0–450 and 0–1,750 RPM) and a 24-position clutch. The kit ships with two 2.0Ah batteries, a charger and a tool bag. It competes with other 18V subcompact brushless drills on size and weight rather than raw power, so it suits cabinet work, assembly and overhead jobs better than heavy framing or hole sawing.

About the RIDGID R87012K 18V SubCompact Brushless 1/2 in. Cordless Drill Kit

The RIDGID R87012K is an 18V SubCompact brushless cordless drill/driver kit. It drills holes and drives fasteners in wood, metal, plastic, and other compatible materials. The brushless motor delivers up to 500 in-lbs. of torque in a compact, lightweight body that suits work in cabinets, corners, and other confined spaces.

A two-speed gearbox offers ranges of 0-450 and 0-1,750 RPM. A 24-position clutch lets you adjust torque for different materials and fasteners. The variable-speed trigger gives controlled drilling and driving, and the forward/reverse selector has a center-lock position.

The 1/2 in. keyless chuck allows quick accessory changes. A built-in LED light helps in low-light work areas, and a belt hook keeps the drill within reach. The kit comes with two 2.0Ah batteries, a charger, and a tool bag.

Questions and answers

Is the R87012K powerful enough for deck building?
It can drive deck screws and drill pilot holes, but 500 in-lbs and 2.0Ah batteries make it slow going for long runs. A full-size 18V drill is the better tool for that work.
How does it compare with RIDGID's full-size 18V drill?
It is shorter and lighter, with less torque than the full-size model. Choose it for assembly and overhead work; choose the full-size drill for hole saws, augers and heavy fastening.
What comes in the kit?
The drill/driver, two 2.0Ah 18V batteries, a charger and a tool bag.
Does it use RIDGID's 18V batteries?
Yes. It runs on RIDGID 18V batteries, so it shares packs with other tools in that line.
Can it drill into metal?
Yes. Low gear at 0–450 RPM suits twist bits in metal; use cutting oil and step up bit sizes.
Does it have a hammer mode?
No. It is a drill/driver only, so masonry needs a separate hammer drill.
Where is the RIDGID R87012K 18V SubCompact Brushless 1/2 in. Cordless Drill Kit cheapest?
At Value Tools Co, for $90.00, as of our latest check.
