My NEW(well new last Jan.) Ridgid Lithium drill has that delay every so often when I first try to use it. Once I get it working the delay goes away. I suspect the contacts get dirty or similar and the movement cleans them off. I probably should have taken it back when I first noticed the issue. I never did finish sending in all the particulars to get the Lifetime warranty and now the boxes are long gone frown
