Ridgid Subcompact Impact Driver vs Ridgid Octane Impact Driver - Putting both impacts to the test!

Had a lot of requests to put the RIDGID Subcompact Impact driver up against the Ridgid Octane Impact driver....so I did. I will be driving lag screws through treated lumber using both the ridgid subcompact and the ridgid octane drill to see which impresses me more.

Will be awesome brother 👊

[@codyapplegarth]

I bought the subcompact for it's size as I do auto mechanics. I am not going to lie. It fits everywhere, it has enough power and speed. A month of abuse and it is now my favourite tool.

[@rodw]

I like the BIG Base !! Makes it easier to stand up and not tip over

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah me too Rodney, I agree

[@DKWalser]

I recently picked up the Rigid subcompact kit. I love the impact driver. Is it the most powerful tool? No, but it gets the job done and it's easier to carry and fits into places a larger, more powerful, tool will not. It's a solid add to my arsenal.

[@zachbates2230]

I would like to see Ridgid sub-compact vs Makita sub-compact drill & impact.

[@robertvbarrett696]

Loved the little ballad

[@dickphan]

Comfort is #1 feature on my list when it comes to impact drivers....makita is the lightest and delivers plenty of power....

[@petemiller519]

For cabinets I'll use the sub-compact. For landscaping ties, use the 1/2" Impact gun, you'll never go back to an Octane after using the Big Boy. Cheers from Canada, and keep up the good videos!

You climbing up there with subscribers. Awesome channel and content. Good luck on a speedy 100k🍀🙏👍

[@ToolswithSoAlz]

The sub-compact is just too small for my hand. I had a chance to pick it up Saturday but, I can only get three fingers around the handle on else my index finger is wrapped around the top. I will likely get it for my wife though. She is small so it should work well for her.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, those are some big hands💪

[@I_Died_2_Weeks_Ago]

Ok Sasquatch 🐻😅

[@bluemantom77]

I kinda knew the subcompact was going to lose to the octane your channel rocks look forward to whats. Next

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah buddy, wasn't thinking it would, but I aslo did not think it would drive the lags without pilot holes either, so I was pleasantly surprised

[@Ahmed_Z_A_Rahma]

Regarding the size. It doesn't matter. I prefer the more power tools

[@gsb5050]

The video we’ve all been waiting for!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hope it helps bro!

[@AutobahnDan]

I was hoping for something new on the batteries, but now I see they took the octane out to make it more compact. Makes sense: more electronics = less compact. Something to keep in mind when purchasing these. Can’t let them entice you with a battery deal when you’re not getting an octane. Hope they come up with better combo deals when all the new stuff hits the shelves!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah absolutely bro. Batteries are just a hair smaller than the regular and OCTANE batteries, but not by much

[@bcarben93]

I'm happy asf with my sub compacts. 😁 big difference from my stealth force and octane. Drill is great too, don't have to pull out the huge hammer drill every time now.

[@zuluvoyager6037]

Awesome review. It's a nice tool. It's perfect for a homeowner who doesn't really need something as powerful. Also great for interior work like drywall.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Absolutely bro

[@ICheat_ILie_ISteal]

That sub probably as powerful as Milwaukee m12...

[@ToolReviewZone]

I'm going to put them up against the Makita, then try the Milwaukee

[@toolswithtim2019]

Nice comparison! I'm really interested in what the Subcompact can do. Would be cool to see it up against the Bosch GDR18V-1800CN if you still have it haha. Cant wait for you to hit 100k 🤘 Loved the little ballad 😝

5:00 - Major change in his KZbin channels for those who want the news first and the test later.

[@mattrobinson775]

I have just about rigid everything except impact and drill, I already had Dewalt XR which was before the this sub compact came out.. and the biggest thing for me was lightweight and how it felt in my hand which is what I think Rigid is trying to address and it makes sense.

Hahaha love the song, I did notice you have some sweet guitars! and that voice!!!!

Hoping for a 12v version someday although I dont see it happening because milwaukee already has one.

[@joqu6971]

Ridgid seems like very good power tools

[@MrKenpoKarateGuy]

Nice video, but that mouse clicking that coincides with the pause in voice-over, is kinda difficult to ignore once you hear it. Still, nice video.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah I agree. I usually keep my mic on the other side of the computer but had to put it on the same side today. I also try to add a soft music to help blend it out, but definitely hear it in this vid

[@chicox37]

What happens with the drill driver???

[@awesometopics1988]

What about testing the subcompact with the new Max output batteries versus the octane with the octane battery

[@kyleblackburn4590]

Interesting comparison, thanks 🙏

[@CB_ChaosLove]

I wonder how the Rigid 12v Impact stacks up to these two?Are they still making those? Just wondering, maybe the Depot wants to push the Milwaukee 12v stuff instead?

[@bartboy1258]

Love it

[@petarilic621]

Is it AEG and Ridgid similar tools or same manufacturer?

Yes

[@victorlabadia881]

No interest in these. Extremely weak, still bulky with the battery. I'll stick to my M12 line for sub compact.

[@gsb5050]

Any idea if the RIDGID 1.5ah batteries that are on sale at HD for $25 each are any good?

[@ToolReviewZone]

They are good but don't run very long. Perfect for drill and impacts, but nut much else

[@gsb5050]

Tool Review Zone thanks so much. My primary goal was to use them for my gen5x drill and impact but didn’t know if they performed much worse than the 2.0ah

[@amoscardoza5253]

Yo TRZ! You comparing the size of the impact head to your hand is a bit deceptive. You need to tell people that your hands are a tad larger than Wilt Chamberlain's.

The octane impact is garbage. Like the brushless gen5x better! Thx for the vid! I ran a test on the new compact charger. It's garbage too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2aTq3Wsgbernrc

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hey Tool Talk. I just watched your video and enjoyed it. It seemed to me that you liked the impact? I will agree on the charger though.
