kevs, yes i bought the drill for ice mostly. and my first ridgid buy(i used others before in the trade) my old drill was on the way out and not enough anyhow. the warranty and sheer drill power(1300"#?), 9ah batt, and charger for buck80 with tax. been thinking of relacing my old sawsall with a ridgid but rethinking now. odd moves from the company so im uneasy about its future. no regrets on buying it. it will send an old 8" jiffy into my clay yard no problem. i put mater plants in with it every year. i run a 6 on it for ice.
