Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does this model include a battery and charger? No. To provide the best value for users already on the Ryobi 18 V platform, the XRH-2020 is sold as a "bare tool," allowing you to use your existing 18 V batteries and chargers.

2. What bits should I use for concrete? For maximum performance in hard materials like concrete and brick, always use carbide-tipped masonry impact bits specifically designed for SDS Plus chuck systems.

3. Can I use standard round-shank drill bits with this tool? Yes, but you will need a separate chuck adaptor (not included). Please note that hammer mode should never be used with standard non-SDS bits as it can damage the adaptor mechanism.
