“Works as long as you”
This Ridgid 18 volt lithium-ion cordless drill is superb.
I used it for over ten hours, without a charge, to set up a wooden play set for my kids.
I was able to drill many holes and secure hundreds of fasteners of many different sizes.
When securing larger lag bolts the drill automatically provided lower torque for power.
The 1/2 inch chuck accepts larger bits than a 3/8 allowing more versatility.
I also drilled five one inch holes through 2x8 floor joists,to run a dryer electrical feed, using an auger bit with no problems.
In the time it would have taken me to set up my hole hawg with a keyed chuck and run an extension cord, I was done.
The drill and the batteries are guaranteed for life after sending in the paperwork, that was the best selling point for me.
I have an older Dewalt and black and decker (ni-cad batteries ) they just dont hold a charge anymore and new ones cost about the same as a new drill.
In 20 minutes this drill is charged and ready to go and with a 90 day money back warranty you cant go wrong
