R8823 Cordless Impact Driver Review

Working with both 24 volt and 18 volt battery systems, the Ridgid R8823 cordless impact driver also features a quick coupler for quick bit changes and LED light for use in low-light settings

By Michael Maines

The 24v Ridgid has more power than any other driver I tested. It performs really well for short-term, heavy-duty jobs like driving big lags into deck assemblies or boring large holes through studs and joists. For lighter-duty work or all-day drilling and driving tasks, this big driver is simply overkill.
