Whatever you get, pony up for the brushless version. Makes all the difference in run time.

I dont know the name of it, but the gizmo circled in red is a handy little gadget. The guys that replaced our door and door frame used one.

To those of you who think Rigid is as valuable as the card-board box that it came in... Let me be the detractor from that fantasy. It's GARBAGE. I have bought 3 of their drills, the 18V ones because the chuck goes bad within 30 days and then will no longer hold a bit. By that I mean it gets to the point where if you want the chuck to hold the bit, and not slip-meaning the bit stops spinning but the chuck keeps going round-you have to tighten the CRAP out of it... Mere hand strength won't do it. I honestly have a pipe wrench that I use to tighten the chuck onto a drill bit.. Only then will it hold it and not slip. I had been using this one drill, and the pipe wrench for about a year when the motor finally let out a good size cloud of smoke and then would no longer function. At that point, I CANNOT find an authorized dealer that will repair it. I tried to take it back to Home Depot-they gave me a list of "Authorized repair locations". NONE of them wanted me to bring the tool in when I told them it was a RIGID. I finally decided that I could fix it myself.. Took it apart.. Cheap, plastic bushings inside... The wiring on the little electric motor was all burned up. I then priced out the part-$86 for part & shipping.. You know how much a NEW drill is at Home Depot? $99.. So, I bought a new drill.. That was 30 days ago (+/- about), and the chuck on the new drill is just starting to get to a point where my hand strength is not enough to tighten it anymore..

For those looking DEWALT, or MAKITA, both make GREAT products that will actually HOLD a drill bit and not slip. Yes, you are going to pay more, but you will be rewarded with a higher quality product, and less frustration with China made crap. I find that Makita tools are a little smaller in size, weigh a little less, and you won't fatigue as quickly over a long day of running screws in a wooden privacy fence.

Sounds like user error on the chuck. They are really a simple device, but over tighten anything and it will quit doing its job.
