I haven’t tried this model personally but it specs out well somewhere between a compact drill and a high performance hammer drill and comes with a side handle for helping out in high torque situations so you don’t twist your wrists. On the list page it has 44 reviews and it averages 4.2 stars out of 5 which is good news for potential buyers. One of the biggest selling point of Ridgid power tools is their famous lifetime service agreement and that lifetime warranty is included with this hammer drill kit.
