Thanks.

P.S. Sorry for the late reply. Wifey called me to the table for supper and we all know what happens if we make wifey wait....
There is no sticker on the box. On the receipt it says:

648846051369 HAMMERDRILL <A>

I hope that helps! Good luck guys! I'm sorry about that hoarder. Some people are really greedy. :(

It got 3.5 stars out of 5. *All* of these drills are going to fail. There is not a single brand without any failures. I just checked and there is a Ridgid warranty depot about 5 minutes from my house. I will not have to pay for shipping if the thing fails and it has a *lifetime* warranty. This is a professional grade 8.5 amp drill with tons of torque. You can try to say this is a bad deal all that you want, however that's not true at all. There is a reason why these all sold out within an hour.

Thanks OP, it's a nice drill plus a lifetime warranty (ridgid).

I confirm it is model # R50111 and UGS is 1000174356. Scanned at 46,96$.

I went to HD Boisbriand first but there was only the demo available. Than I went to HD laval and got a new one. There was another left plus the demo when I went there around 19h00.

No matter how many stars, it's a good deal. I won't be buying because I have tons of power tools. However the reason for that being sold out is the fact that some people are re-sellers and they're gonna make probably around $50 on each item.

I'm more annoyed at the fact that they guy had the nerve to ask me for the SKU only so he could crap on the deal. I had already filed the receipt for my taxes so I had to go dig it out. Such nonsense.

Thought this might be the best place to ask....
How would this drill compare to the Bosch SDS one at Canadian Tire? It's going to be $99 on black Friday, which is twice as much as this but I've been reading that SDS is much better and easier to work with? The Bosch is only 4.8amps though...

I think you will need to plug it in, pull the trigger a little then turn the speed switch. I played with it a couple of times to get used to.

you're right...that's what I did and it works now...
I find that rather strange that it doesn't work but just turning the knob.

Not SDS. So essentially an 8.5 AMP corded hand vibrator.
Good for wood and other BS.

I guess it depends on your needs and what you are doing. I just did a quick search and SDS looks like it makes a huge difference, however 8.5A is way more powerful than 4.8A. Plus the Ridgid has a lifetime warranty. Good luck getting one though, I'm sure the stock is completely gone at this point. For myself personally I don't really need the hammer function, I just want a powerful drill so the Ridgid one is perfect. Also one of the reviews of the Ridgid one say that it "cuts through concrete like a knife through butter" FWIW.
