Milwaukee Gen 3 VS Ridgid Octane Impact driver

[@klr650ryder]

I went to Ridgid's 24v platform in early 2007. First job was a high 2 storey deck, 16' off the ground and 12' d x 30' w. Never had any issues, everything worked as advertised. Fast forward to 2020, I now have both the 12v and 18v platforms. Plus the rolling tool storage system. The lifetime warranty? Have no issues whatsoever. I have had 24v and 12v batteries replaced, turnaround, 2 days. They rebuilt and upgraded the 24v hammer drill, 2 week turnaround and again all under warranty. I have an authorized Ridgid warranty shop in town and have never had any issues. My first battery that went, I went back to HD. Huge mistake, warranty denied. Took same battery into repair shop? Had a new one 2 days later. I have the 12" compound mitre saw with rolling platform, numerous shop vacs, a handheld vac, couple of radios and stuff I've forgotten. Shop is black and orange and will stay that way.

Well when you take into consideration that the Milwaukee in this video was faster at driving a screw or bolt in yes it does matter.

It's about efficiency.

Your very 1st test sample shows cut n edit, screws in different location (4:14) just out of curiosity. Looks like Rigid settings was changed based on light position (4:07), don't know what it suppose to be for max torque and speed as I don't have one. Milkw@kee is nice but on the pricier side, Rigid has lifetime warranty when bought from an authorize seller and you must register the tool/battery in the alloted time. Rigid has a more ergonomic fit for smaller grips when holding tool that I like compared to Milwaukee. I feel one should not base performance solely just on speed to get the best out of it. All should be consider; price, warranty, rpm, ipm, torque, dimensions, battery type, weight, availability of tools, etc. Other than that, it was fun.

Milwaukee is one the top construction grade brands, and next step up are premium brands like Hilti and Festool. Ridgid is a mid-grade tool, somewhere between home owner grade tools like Ryobi/Porter Cable and construction grade like DeWalt/Milwaukee. Milwaukee's value is in their power, performance, and reliably. You pay more for Milwaukee, but you're getting a better product. Ridgid's value is their "bang for your buck" especially when you get their kits when on sale. Right now for about $560 you can get 5 of their Octane tools, 4 octane batteries, and 2 chargers. Similar Milwaukee kits are on sale for about $700 and only has 2 batteries and 1 charger.

Anyway I didn’t have any tools whatsoever when I mean I started from scratch I mean I started from scratch from a screwdriver and channel locks 😂. And everyone started telling me once you start buying your tools Dewalt and Milwaukee is the way to go. Anyway one of the guys that I used to work with gave me my first impact Ridgid drill. The was my first piece of “real tool” that I own so I stocked with it next I bought my sawzall and I decided to get ridgid because I was in a budget and I got a real good deal for a brand new sawzall and a battery. Anyway my impact drill was given to me and it locked like it was put threw hell and not including the work I have put in it. All my buddies majority own Milwaukee and I can tell the difference not so much in power but in speed and size. But Ridgid has never failed me. I have put my sawzall and drill to work full 8 hours a day and they are still going strong. So it all depends on the person. Like I said the most difference I have seen is that Milwaukee has faster and more compact tools vs Ridgid but Ridgid will give a run for its money.

More torque doesn't necessarily mean the ridgid is going to be faster. It runs at significantly lower RPM as well as having less BPM so that's more than likely the difference in speed right there. Both tools are great and I just bought the Ridgid Octane a couple days ago myself since they have the LSA.

[@Impact-OG]

OK so the Ridgid has higher RPM'S at 2,400 and the MIlwaukee only has 2,000. You would think that the ridgid would be faster but its not. The Ridgid has 3,500 BPM were the Milwaukee has 4,300 so 800 more thats why it won!!

Makes sense. Rigid is a mid grade tool company. Not really intended for job site work. Given that, it keeps up pretty well with a high end brand like Milwaukee. For a home user/DIYer I’d say it’s a great tool. Most of us don’t have the budget for professional grade tools if we’re not making a living with them. It’s good to see that the Rigid can at least get the job done, even if it’s a little slower lol.

[@xVidmaster117x]

Both are great tools. Milwaukee is more prone to snapping off bolts if your using something like a 1/4 inch tapcon going into concrete. It also is prone to splitting finish wood if your not super careful. Yes it puts the screws in quicker and can do something's the ridgid can't but it seems if your a diy er or work with smaller screws/drywal or thin plywood the ridgid is the way to go. The ridgid is a little weaker and can't do all the Milwaukee can but if you don't need the extra power having it can split your wood, or strip your screws in less than a second between getting it all the way in and then stripping it. Milwaukee is great if your a mechanic trying to losen bolts in tight spaces or work with framing or concrete with slightly larger bolts. Yeah you can turn down the power to 2 on the Milwaukee but it just isn't quite as powerful as the ridgid which is like a 2 1/3 on a Milwaukee and surprisingly that extra little bit makes the ridgid do things that the Milwaukee will not on a 2 and the ridgid not strip things out as easily as a Milwaukee on setting 3. If they could tune the Milwaukee or give it 4 settings that would be perfect.

Been a woodworker for over 30 years and have built literally 1,000’s of project (big and small) I’ve never once in my life had to drive a 8” or longer screw or drive a gigantic lag bolt in anything.

Rpm has nothing to do with power. Think of it like a street bike is faster than a diesel truck but not more powerful.

[@MarkThomas-uq8fz]

Matt Boyd It absolutely has to do with rpm(Gearing) If both can drive the lag down without shutting down then the one with higher rpm will win. Now push both till they cannot drive any deeper and the one that is geared lower or more powerful will win. All things have to be equal to determine which has more power.

[@Adv3rc1ty]

@@mattboyd5024 what? that is completely false, rpms in fact play a role in power when a machine requires revolutions to generate power.. That's a horrible comparison and way off topic considering the fact of weight ration to torque and power etc. So generally speaking the bike can put out more power than your diesel since it doesn't have to over work or compensate itself to reach it's target "power". low numbers doesn't generally mean less power.

Ich mag deine Videos,hab deinen Chanal abboniert, hab mal ne Frage,welchen Durchmesser haben die Schrauben? Ich hab selbst den Milwaukee-Schrauber und auch andere von Milwaukee,bin sehr zufrieden damit echt richtig gutes Werkzeug.

[@madmattp1]

Did you really try to say 4.10 pounds is more than 4.66?

[@Марусякожаева]

It works great and is easy to operate

[@Impact-OG]

Witch one? They are great Impact drivers, just go with what line of battery's you are in. Thanks for watching

[@jimh2061]

I bought a 12 volt Milwaukee driver and hammer drill. I have 18 volt makita and dewalt and rigid. The smaller Milwaukee are little beasts and they are light weight. That #3 mode is powerful.

[@ryanbrandt3374]

I was torn between these 2. Looks like I’m going to Milwaukee. Time to buy batteries $$$! Thanks for the vid..

[@ianwindsor1460]

Not a very good test I'm not interested in how fast it drives, how long do the batteries last comparatively? What if I drop them? What if I'm using them in the rain? So many other variables to decide which is truly better

[@cedarpoplar7443]

I haven't even started hearing what you're going to say. But, sadly and with lots of ressentiment, I think I'm going to have to put my lovely RIDGID down. Unless ofcourse, There's a strong enough battery that won't punk out on me. Please don't get me wrong. I'm a RIDGID guy myseself. But, Milwaukee is the one that has gotten me through. I'd like to prove that wrong. I still got my RIDGID

[@Impact-OG]

Yeah i use Ridgid all the time, I actually sold my Milwaukee tools. Thanks for watching man

[@trevorwakefield9597]

Is the Ridgid octane battery also considered high output? If not, it would be worth seeing what a regular 6 a.h. in the Milwaukee would look like.

[@Impact-OG]

Yes it is, they dont even have a 6.0, they have 4.0 and 5.0 but the 6.0 is octane.

[@brandonwaller1486]

Milwaukee and Ridgid are both made from TTI. Of course they are going to put their better tech in Milwaukee. Milwaukee is their "commercial" line vs. Ridgid their "DIY" brand.

[@ChicoM16]

You sure didn't press harder on The Milwaukee

[@jimmygordon5045]

I bought rigid. Within a year one drill trigger stuck in on position. 2 other drills smoked. Also got a rigid oscillator tool, trigger stuck. BUYING MWAUKEE !

[@Impact-OG]

yeah sometimes you get a dud. I dont know I have had Milwaukee stuff crap out on me too. But over all I would say that Milwaukee is made a little better. Thanks' for watching man

[@cesarr5006]

Milwaukee is a power house, still prefer Makita; can't go wrong with all these brands: including Rigid solid piece of equipment with good $$ deals: great time for a consumer or professional to pick your brands or brands (electrician apprentice, trainer, radio producer: my line of work)

[@Impact-OG]

Yes That is also my problem I like them all. THanks for watching man

[@jacandjacjr1]

Bro, 9amps doesn't make a difference.. you just have more amps, it holds more charge...

[@Lighthelmet666]

Jose Cruz amps is more time on a battery but the higher the battery the more watts usually and Watts is the juice so most of the time higher batteries will actually give you more power especially if you normally use a 5 amp battery and jump to an 8 amp

[@Jonesocinco]

It definitely does make a difference.

[@thatguyjoshthattallguyy6179]

for a second thought the drill press was a new ryobi job site light

[@Impact-OG]

Hahahaha I wish, they need to put out some thing like the Milwaukee rock light, that would sell like hot cakes.

[@davidmillan109]

About if you switch the drills Milwaukee on the left side

[@apllDgrapllD]

Thats strange so my gen x 5 impact out torqs the octane with a 4ah battery! The guys at my job have fuels while i have ridgid brushed and i keep up with them!

[@andreasshizas5977]

Well before this video even starts, you have two of the best and evenly-matched tools in your hands, so do I think the Gen 3 Milwaukee will win? I don't know I hope not cuz I'm rigid guy but hey even I know they have her limitations

[@micjubba709]

Milwaukee is miles better then rigid

[@andreasshizas5977]

@@micjubba709 Well, thank you for your Insight and opinion, but not everybody else out there can't afford to have Milwaukee Tools across the line, so I stayed within the TTI family and bought the Ridgid, and I have been a very very happy with my Ridgid tools oh, and by the way, Milwaukee does not have a job Max

[@Gazza-is2tk]

I like the light setup on the rigid. I find the under mounted lights cast an annoying shadow sometimes, that's why I like my dual light makita. But if I hadn't already got a big makita set..... I would be very tempted by those milwaukees, the power of them is unbelievable, they look great too. Saying that.... Makita has never let me down. I'm loyal 🤜

[@Impact-OG]

My favorite is me makita black quick shift, it's the lightest and most versatile, its my go to impact. The milwaukee has to much power some times and can cam out screws if your not careful.

[@Gazza-is2tk]

@@Impact-OG agree, I had the black makita dtd 155, brought a new set with the beefy combi and the dtd154 impact, miles better than my old one. Sitting on a roof using it as we speak lol

[@Impact-OG]

@@Gazza-is2tk Well get back to work lol hahahah just kidding thanks man

[@Gazza-is2tk]

@@Impact-OG right away boss 😂

[@AftermathXJ220]

Ridgid advertises higher torque numbers. I expected it to do much better against Milwaukee.

[@weldonpinder7295]

It turns out that with all the impact vs videos whoever wins in the first test is always the winner. When I saw milwaukee kill rigid in the first test I figured that was it

[@Impact-OG]

Not always, but Milwaukee is the king as in power!! I have tested every impact driver on the market but festool, and nothing can beat it, in the speed test. Its funny so Milwaukee says it has 2000 in lbs of torque, and Ridgid says it has 2400 in lbs of torque, so someone is lying about there specs hahahahahaa Thanks for watching and stick around I have a couple fun impact driver videos coming out, me and my friend do a Makita shoot out and Milwaukee VS Matabo HPT Multivolt!!!

[@weldonpinder7295]

@@Impact-OG can't wait. I'd love to see the festool impact I've never seen it before.

[@christiancollier4126]

Rigid currently got bought out by a different company. A much better company than before when it comes to quality. I would like to see another video like this in the future, I feel like the results will be much different.

[@H0UST0NT3XAS]

For weight, ridgid makes a compact model. I will take the lifetime warranty and battery exchanges over a few in-lbs.

[@vincentlenci]

I have both Mil ..corded Rid cordless. like'm all. chose ridgid cause of lifetime. my Makitas lasted decades batteries iffy at times with cracks was time for new stuff. now I'm retired but doing kitchens and baths in my home

[@Impact-OG]

Yeah tha lift time thing is very nice, But I have hurd thats its kind of hard to get stuff replaced, Or at least in a timely manner. I also like them all that is my problem ask my wife, hahahahaha

[@vincentlenci]

Left my multi out in the rain it crapped out they did repair it took 2 weeks I brought it back to Home Depot and they sent it out from their rental department

[@WoodsUnknown]

Milwaukee is made for little hands and Ridgid is made for big hands as is the quality of the tool, every time I grab a Milwaukee it feels like I'm using my daughter's toys

[@motly93]

He starts drilling @ 4:12 , Ps. if you thought for a second that pos Ridgid was gonna smoke that Milwaukee you're high. #MilwaukeeGang

[@NintenDad6]

Why is no competing with the brush Bosch impactor with the Milwaukee fuel.

[@Impact-OG]

I can do that, you want the Bosch against with one?? Ridgid, milwaukee, makita, dewalt??

[@NintenDad6]

Milwaukee fuel

[@christopherhoward2848]

To everyone saying the Ridgid will do everything the Milwaukee does just slower is wrong. I've seen Ryobi, Ridgid, DeWalt all puss out but the gen 3 drove it like a sheetrock screw.

[@EFD620G]

Warranty?????? Cost ?????

[@JoeTaco83]

At the ends of the day Rigid is the tool for me. The Unbearable Lifetime Warranty will always be a winner. The Milwaukee guys will keep buying replacement tools and batteries while I get to save money.

[@brewsive]

Why do you mute the volume??

[@travisevans7502]

I own mostly Ridgid tools and a couple Milwaukee because Ridgid don't make ratchets Milwaukee makes one of the best tools on the market if not the best I knew Milwaukee would win they are a higher end tool but Ridgid makes great tools Concord carpenter did a video with extensive testing and Milwaukee was faster in his video also but they also had a test where they tightened a bolt as tight as they could then took a torque wrench and seen which one took the most torque to loosen Ridgid took first place out of 10 impact drivers I think a lot of people mistake speed for power. If I had the money I would buy all Milwaukee but with my budget and Ridgids warranty for now it's Ridgid.

[@N1rOx]

Correct. If you go by specs, the Octane has higher max torque, but lower RPM and IPM.

[@calebhurteau4230]

It be kool if u would take them apart to see how there made.🤔👍

[@janberan742]

...220Nm vs 73Nm?

[@Impact-OG]

It just a fun video, and the Ridgid claims that is has more torque then the Milwaukee. I am not sure were you are getting those numbers, but here in MN The box says 2400 inch lbs and the Milwaukee is 2000 in pounds of torque
