Bought my first drill - Question

Deltones · 2003-12-10T14:37:26+00:00

Hi all,I just bought my first cordless drill (Ridgid X2 12v). I know next tonothing about tools so please forgive me if this question is retarded.When pressing the trigger, I observed that the drill bit is notturning straight, meaning that it makes a small circle (like tracing asmall "O" with your finger in the air) when it's rotating on itself.The drill bit is not loose, so that's not what's causing it. Is thisnormal behavior or I just bought a defective unit?Based on what I searched on this newsgroup, my first choices wereeither Milwaukee (12v) or Makita (12v) but I was comfortable with theRidgid, it looked solid and the guarantee is interesting. Hopefully,it is normal behavior, if not, well, I know what I'll have to do.ThanksDenis

Might want to try out a different newsgroup: alt.home.repair It might be closer to the topic you're looking for.
