RIDGID R5011 1/2" Heavy-Duty Corded Drill

The RIDGID R5011 is a heavy-duty 1/2" corded drill built for demanding drilling, fastening, and mixing applications. Its 8.5-amp motor and two-speed gearbox provide 0–1,000 RPM in low speed and 0–3,000 RPM in high speed, giving you the flexibility to handle everything from controlled mixing to high-speed drilling.
