Problem for Ridgid 12 Volt Cordless 3/8 In. Drill

Drill shuts off

Does it have thermal protection for the motor besides the battery temp. Both of mine shut off during use and has to sit awhile brfore it runs again. Changing the battery doesn't make it run so I don't think it's the battery temp.

Yes, it's tripping on over temp. There is a thermal protection inside the motor. Try to not press so hard so the motor doesn't pull so hard. Let the drill do the work, and let it run at the set RPM. You will get more life from the battery and the drill motor.
