Ridgid makes an 18V right-angle drill that competes with the Milwaukee and DeWalt models at a slightly lower price. The R86600 is the current model with the Lifetime Service Agreement backing it. For plumbers and electricians who already own Ridgid 18V batteries, it's a natural add to the kit without switching platforms.
Ridgid 18V Octane Platform
Works with all Ridgid 18V batteries. Register within 90 days for the LSA. For self-feed bit work, use 4.0Ah or larger packs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Ridgid compare to the Milwaukee 2807-20?
The Milwaukee has more torque (750 vs 500 in-lbs) and a more established reputation among tradespeople. The Ridgid costs $70 less and comes with the LSA warranty. For standard 2-inch boring in framing lumber, both perform well. For larger self-feed bits in hardwood, the Milwaukee has the edge.
Can I use self-feed bits with the R86600?
Up to 2-1/8 inches in framing lumber. Larger self-feed bits will stall in hard wood. The 500 in-lbs torque is adequate for standard residential boring but falls short of the Milwaukee 2807-20 for heavy work.
