Good Piece w/ One Issue.,

This review is from: Ridgid R8223402 JobMax Right Angle Drill/Driver Head (Misc.)
I bought this head to add a drilling function to my existing kit and I'm "OK" w/ it. The driver is powerful enough to drive 2-1/2" screws into soft woods (haven't tested it on hardwoods yet). It feels well built, ergonomic w/ a good gripping surface, torque was better than I expected and, like most right angle drivers, it helps a-lot in tight spaces.
My issue here is the speed, at 0-550 RPM's it's slow for a drill because, ideally, 900+ RPM's is recommended for most drilling tasks. I'll keep it because I know, eventually, I'll need to drill a hole w/o the space for my M12 or V18 drills. As far as driving is concerned I'll use this tool for smaller/softer fasteners w/ the JobMax Impact Driver head (reviewed & recommended) for larger ones. Hope this helps.

This review is from: Ridgid R8223402 JobMax Right Angle Drill/Driver Head (Misc.)
(I bought mine, in person, at HomeDepot.)
I was looking to buy an oscillating tool to cut and maybe sand, but I also needed a right angle drill for running some 12 gauge wire down walls at the hip of our roof. Very tight conditions.
Even though this tool is large when put together it worked great drilling down through the (2) 2x4s into the wall cavity. I also used the standard Jobmax attachment to cut openings for outlet boxes.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase, even with the low RPM (550) of this attachment it should serve me well.
