The last thing I needed was another drill, but seeing the Octane kit for $80 led to a purchase. They claim it was originally $159 (I think they were $129 at Special Buy pricing), but it includes the Bluetooth 3.0Ah Octane battery, which is currently $69 down from $99 regular.
I have a full complement of core Ridgid, DeWalt, and Milwaukee premium tools, so one of these days I’ll torture them all to see if the Ridgid’ s “industry leading” 1300 in-lbs of torque means much. Regardless, if you’re in the market for a newer premium drill kit, $80 isn’t bad for what you get with the Octane.
