welcome to the shanty!home depot has a 90 day hassle free return policy. i would take it all back and tell them you want the 9 amp octane battery and charger kit. it costs 170$. costs you another 50$. also offers the lifetime warranty on all of it.they offer a free tool when you buy it so grab the octane drill for free. it has 1300 inch pounds and will turn any hand auger.the 525 inch pound drill you just bought would have turned a 5 inch and maybe a 6 inch but not with those tiny batteries.
Man am I glad I found this forum!! I returned the Ridgid this morning and got the one I should have they only had 3 left its the R86116 with 750 in"lbs of torque! On sale for 79.00 after applying for Home Depot credit card my final cost... 56.97 !! The drill comes with (2) 1.5 lithium ion power packs, handle & charger so I saved myself some money that I can use to get a stronger battery for the drill. Thanks again guys for your solid advice.
someone mentioned they prorate tools so you can return the free tool to get cash back. they do not do this in store. they give you the free tool and they don't charge for it so you get nothing back if you return it.
that's how they always do it when i am buying from them in store. it's not my first tool bought from home depot no doubt.
