Ridgid 18V Brushless Impact Driver, Hammer Drill
We told you that a new, or rather the first time, RIDGID brushless drill is on the way. Today we received official information about the hammer drill, but also news of an impact driver 18V brushless new and higher capacity battery 5Ah.
There are three new products – a RIDGID R9205 the hammer and drill brushless impact driver combination, R 86116K brushless hammer previously suggested, and AC840089 18V 5Ah Li-ion battery with fuel gauge.
Unfortunately, it looks like the combo is the only way to get the RIDGID driving new brushless impact. The hammer drill is available in a set, but not (yet?) As a tool to ceiling.
RIDGID R86116K BRUSHLESS HAMMER DRILL
The RIDGID new hammer drill brushless supposedly a “hammer drill full support in a compact size”. In addition to the brushless motor, generally offer a lot of energy and time running time thanks to higher efficiency, you get a new micro clutch.
RIDGID micro clutch say drilling is an advanced clutch design, allowing pin-point accuracy to set up more than 100 torque.
Wait, what? 100 set torque? Looking at product images, 100 of the clutch ring. That could mean an electronic clutch, which you will find in some drills new brushless, such as the 2nd generation fuel Milwaukee drill M18.
You also get a hammer mode selector switch that is completely separate from the clutch, leave your settings intact.
