Overheats/stalls with moderate use

As a DIYer I need a hammer drill from time to time. After half a dozen 1/4" holes in the CMU, it stopped working for about 20 minutes. Thought there was a thermal switch function, although it didn't feel warm at all.

Pros
  • All metal gear case - for added strength and extra durability
Cons
  • Expensive

I don't think it will be repaired yet.

Please note that purchasing a refurbished instrument does not come with a lifetime warranty. Buying a new tool after registration comes with a lifetime guarantee. this ridgid lasted 6 months and no warranty. So I'm saying it's definitely worth buying a new one for the cheaper price of a refurbished one. Ridgid tools are very good when they are new.

Pros
  • Illuminated connector - for easy identification of active instruments
Cons
  • Crumpled

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,

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