Some reviews,
I felt the need for a small compact drill/driver to use when I'm doing installs and was honestly tired of lugging around my larger tools to do some work. I was walking through the local HD and came across the Ridgid R82007 and decided to pick it up. After looking around online I also noticed the Bosch PS30-2A. Ran to another local store and grabbed that one to compare them side by side. I also happened to have a brand new Milwaukee 2401-22 sitting in my shop to toss into the mix.
All three tools weigh about the same, I belive the Bosch is about a half pound lighter, nothing really major there. The LED on the Ridgid is far brighter than the Bosch and is about the same as the Milwaukee, although all of them need to be placed in a different location similar to the LED ring that the Bosch PS40 has. The killer for the 2401-22 was the slow speed and having the lowest torque out of all three tools. For my situation it looks like the Ridgid is the keeper for me. The Ridgid Lifetime Service Agreement is also a large bonus for using the Ridgid tool. I'll probably play around with all of them some more before one gets returned.
