Review on πŸ”¨ Ridgid R5013 Drill 2 Inch Hammer: Powerhouse for Precision Drilling Tasks by Will Rahman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor durability, not for do-it-yourselfers

Bought for drilling holes in concrete. RIGID represented quality between professional and homeowner. As a DIY enthusiast, I thought I had a "for life" drill. After the completion of the first work, it was not used for almost two years. No scratches, looks like new. Today I had to drill twenty 1/2 inch diameter and about 2.5 inch deep holes in the concrete so I could insert rebar into the "old" concrete and bond to the "new" concrete. I pre-drilled with a 1/4" bit. When drilling with a 1/2" bit, the bit burned out. Very disappointed. met me unexpectedly I had to rent a drill press to finish this little DIY project. Do not buy this drill. There's just no quality. Repair is not even an option. Looks like new, was in the trash. What a waste.

Pros
  • Heavy duty 7.5 amp motor with hardened steel gears - built to exact specifications for long life
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
