Great tool. Works fine with my regular 18 volt batteries. I used it already to run 1/4 tap cons into sold concrete ( not cinder blocks) and had NO trouble. Works as good as a cordless Hilti. Highly recommend.

I skeptically bought the cordless 1″ SDS after growing frustrated with the chuck on my hammer drill (different manufacturer) constantly coming loose when trying to drill a 1″ hole through a masonary wall. One word – WOW! It tackled a a previous 10-minute job (drill-tighten bit, drill, repeat) with a normal hammer drill in less than 2 minutes.Next job I tackled was drilling 1″ holes into granite boulders to break with Dexpan. The SDS drill burrowed 12″ deep hole after hole after hole into the granite boulders like they were butter – all without the squeal you might hear with a hammer drill & large masonary bit. The only signs that the bit showed of having done any work was just a little dust.The only frustration I experienced was having to change out 4AH batteries during the job. This may not have happened if I had 9AH batteries on hand. Overall I’m thrilled with the SDS drill.

Another great addon for my ridgid collection.. Very powerful and fancy looking. Ridgid is the Sports Luxury compared to those other boring brands.. ☝️

Works well for drilling 5/8” holes in cinder block.

Quick easy. Just wish Ridgid would come out with a cordless bandsaw already. I hate using 2 different brands, which means two different chargers in my bag. I would hate to just switch over altogether for one tool which I’m pretty sure happens a lot.

The rotary hammer came assembled and coupled with the Bosch bit I purchased made drilling my concrete stem wall for a deck ledger board a breeze. I would suggest this hammer to anyone looking to do an at home project requiring some concrete drilling.

for price perfect for tapcons

Awesome rotary hammer drill for tapcons and other masonry fasteners. It can drill them much faster with less strain than trying to use a regular cordless drill with a “hammer drill” mode. I don’t think i would go drilling 1″ holes in solid walls with it but that’s not why I bought it anyway.

Haven’t used it a whole lot yet, but the couple times I have used it, it’s 10x better then a regular hammer drill even a plug in one and being able to turn the rotary off will make it invaluable. The only issue is it’s a little heavy.

Worked perfect on demo of cement board. Cleaned the room in less time. It does use up the battery quick so buy the larger battery’s.

The drill was pretty much ready to go out of the box. It was easy to use and did everything I needed it to. I did curbside pick up which was awesome.
