GADGET GUY


Eighteen-volt drills are great for the power they pack, but the big drawback is their weight. Ridgid is out with a new one in a lightweight, compact package.

The lithium-ion battery gives the tool plenty of punch. And it weighs only 4.5 pounds, meaning you can use it longer before experiencing arm fatigue. That compares to most 12-volt drills.

The drill has a 1/2 -inch chuck and comes with two batteries and a quick charger.
