EPIC High Torque Dyno Results Ridgid vs Milwaukee: R86211B 

Hey guys, been watching your channel for a while, one thing I haven’t seen yet is the IRW7152 on here. I’d really love to see that stack up against the Milwaukee and Matco Brushless impacts. I think I know where it will place. But I’d love to see it on a chart

@@alexmitchell5068 Working on it!

@@TorqueTestChannel Hi TTC, on the spreadsheet, the tool listed as R86011 instead of 86211B, its a little bit confusing .

@@roadspeed9737 I think the B is for the bare tool

You aren't wrong there hahaha

WHY ARE WE YELLING

@@JackPepal357 IT'S BEST THIS WAY,,,,,,,, YOU'LL LEARN.

...

Yes.... The M18 Frankenstein video is pure magic

Or like we have seen on project farm channel. Something is affordable and good. Let's hike up price a lot.

Fucking tti reps strangling the rigid reps 😂😂😂

Got mine so I'm good warranty is active I'm almost thinking of getting another. I've got 2 of the mid torque Ridgid r86011b and they are my go to for most everything unless the big beast is required. The r86211 is worth every single penny. My only complaint is the light is so bright it's hard to adjust modes without temporarily blinding myself.

@@brogren802 yeah the real kicker is since they are discontinuing it if you ever have to make a warranty claim what if they try to send you the "replacement model" when you send it in instead.... i flat out wouldnt accept it... thats absolutely ridiculous

@@Rentta yup...

That's what killed the octane I never put 2&2 together

Right!?!! We cant offer a better tool for less money...thats insane. Make it crappier and charge more. Thats the american way

And better warranty. I bought up as much octane stuff as I could. It all outperforms my coworkers Milwaukee tools every day.

@@jacksmith2315 it's a Chinese company

what is TTI?

Yes the Ridgid is a little stronger than the Milwaukee. And a better warranty too.

@@kingbrinston and also a better price 🦾

I used to like ridgid. But this whole thing dropping the octane to release a worse tool and battery for more money pushed me away. Its like hey lets show the world we can make good tools for a great price then take them away and make something crappier for more money. All they had to do was take out the bluetooth, not drop the whole line. So stupid n such BS!!! Also my brother and i never had good luck with their drills and recips. Everything else has been great, especially the impacts, but the drills and recips just dont hold up to everyday in the field use

@@jacksmith2315 this compact craze is out of hand.

I have had the Ridgit for a year now it works GR8. And I happen to see it today on Amazon for $156 that's a GR8 buy for one that beat them all. I have had a few tools that came with the octane batteries I was thinking that was the way to go. But now most have gone belly up now, I call them in they sent a new battery.

We're thinking due to bluetooth chip shortage, but it's also possible Ridgid just hates its customers with all of these changes. They seem equally possible at this point

@@TorqueTestChannel The Octane batteries (branded Force) here in Australia never had bluetooth, it looks like they're sticking around but they may drop the 3AH given they've always been special order for us and the new compact line steps into that area.

First off the Octane line has been officially canceled. I dont know it for a fact but I believe the Octane line was canceled because alot of people had bluetooth connectivity issues with the batteries. Alot of perfectly good batteries have been warrantied because the Bluetooth was screwy. I never even bothered with it myself. Also I loved the Octane line because it was pro level tools at budget prices but I don't think they sold well. They definitely weren't advertised well compared to Milwaukee Fuel.

@@TorqueTestChannel already not available in Canada in store or online.2 batteries with charger would have been 249 tool is 299. m18 is 329 and charger with 1 battery is 189.so might as well get millwauki.

Makes no sense they dont just take the bluetooth out of the batteries and keep making them. But why make better tools for less money? Its absolute BS!!

Also very keen on this.

Right. This video is fun, but I don’t think it helps someone wondering if the Ridgid high-torque is worth buying. The Octane batteries are out the door and the Max Output batteries are only reasonable alternative.

We can do that

@@TorqueTestChannel thank you!

Absolutely

Seriously right!?! All they had to do was take the bluetooth out of the octane line and they could have kept making good tools for a good price. Instead they take everything away, make less quality tools and batteries so ppl can keep getting bent over buying milwaukee.

@@jacksmith2315 exactly! Thankfully I have the big octane drill and mid tourque impact. hopefully they last a while for me.

@@mooseknucklegarage8439 just dont set up bluetooth with octane batteries and you should be fine

@@jacksmith2315 I haven’t tried the Bluetooth feature and I’ll make sure not to. Thanks 👍

@yourleftnut1 yes it doesn’t make sense, why ridgid is making new drills with less power than they had before is beyond me 🤷‍♂️

Ain't AVE great? There has been a lack of tool teardowns recently, which is a shame.

@@alminhelex I've been watching him for nearly a decade. I miss all the shenanigans on the Bridgeport

@@Joeameturexpert I've been watching since he absolutely roasted the juicero. Working man vs idea man.

@@alminhelex he's probably my favorite Canadian lol

@@Joeameturexpert ave, electroboom and I can't forget classic linus

Yo that makes a lot of sense. “Let’s try our new stuff out with our ‘lesser’ company... see what happens and if it works. If not- eh Milwaukee doesn’t look bad. If it does, discontinue and release the NEWer Milwaukee with 2% more updates”. 💰 rules all man.

I also own both of these 2 impacts & ingersoll rand w7152 seems to be more powerful

I have had the Ridgit for a year now & it has a fine low trigger & to boot saw it on Amazon today for $156 that's a GR8 buy for one that beat them all.

If you already have milwuakee batteries that would be the stupidest shit to do lol

if you already have batteries and chargers for 1 you might as well keep it. especially when they showed the HD battery would make it even more comparable, since they obviously used the smaller batteries, and popped the HD tests in at the end. Also compare the tests when they popped the worst battery on the rigid, when both were using the lower level batteries, the Milwaukee destroyed it. goes to also show the cells inside the Milwaukee packs have better power density.

Not a bad idea

Maybe a little foreshadowing...

The consumer always wins in industrial competition!

They are owned by the same company

We do have that list as well, we show it time to time and it's in our library mentioned in the pinned post

Nope, Ridgid discontinues the Octane line of tools. Shit

Imagine thinking there won't be a gen 3 high torque 😂

@@Barbaratio doesnt mean its not the better tool. You can still buy it.

That's if they have it lol, my home Depot said nope online item only lmao

Sold out online☹

R J right, I’ve downloaded their app, and many tools or other stuff I’ve checked on the app they don’t carry them in-store when I run there for some inventory reasons I believe

It may stink as a viewer as bit, but the fact is we do this all the time because when we first test stuff we dont really know anything about them. We needed to test several different air hammers to know that rig was working correctly. This was our 2nd high torque and for all we knew our dyno could not read cordless impacts correctly without buying more models. This happened to us with 3/4" air impacts, our 1st one was a dog, not a whole lot more beans than a 1/2". Instead of just publishing that and defacing the brand we got a few more over the next couple month and realized our air system, heck even plugging a 3/4" impact into 3/4" cast iron pipe does not supply enough air to keep it fed to the manufacturers spec. May be your 1st time hearing this and that's because we like to gather context and info before we spread around our random thoughts and assumptions. We have to do this with different batteries, different tools like impact drivers and more all the time. If we published stuff as soon as we shot it, it would be us just talking out our behinds. As video on the Ridgid when we got it would have been about how M18's is overrated and it took us 1 try to beat it, followed by a couple months of us being wrong over and over again. But anyone watching just that video would have a poor picture of the M18's performance - which is actually still at the very top.

:p thanks for watching ten videos!

Yeah, and here I am unwilling to dish out Milwaukee money, even tho it's worth it. I have some older models from Craigslist and they're not too great. Even got some Ryobis and Bauers that outdo them.

Snap on only seem to make great hand tools, the power line IMO is over priced and under perform. Problem is these manufacturers lie thru their back teeth about torque specs.

I second this! Would like to see if it’s worth the extra cost for the 21700’s or not

10:29

😥😥😥😭😭😭

See the 2021 best of vid. We try it out!

Working on it my good man!

Exactly what I wanted to know also. At the $200 price this week including the Max 4ah bat and charger, is still kiks arse.

6:50 is vs HO

@Bones McGillicuddy At 4:50 he said the Ridgid is arm twisting. Would you like to show where he says otherwise? . My friend and I ran both guns for much longer trying to get the 22mm bolt off, and we are able to draw our own conclusion. The extra weight and lower RPM of the 2767 helped with comfort. You feel like you have to push down on the Ridgid to keep it on the bolt, or it wants to fly off the nut.

@Bones McGillicuddy Your opinion is based off what someone else said, not what you experienced yourself. I used both under real work conditions, not just someone who tests with a meter at 10 sec intervals, and then sums up. When it comes to judging comfort, both our opinions are valid. Worth considering, the Milwaukee has a huge system, while Ridgid does not...a big reason why more pros use Milwaukee.

We're working hard on it!

6:50 is an HD12.0 battery

@@TorqueTestChannel Ya you bet, I saw. All I was getting at is that people will say well that’s not fair, Milwaukee needed a 12 amp pack to beat Rigid’s 3.0 pack but in all honesty Milwaukee’s 6.0 pack would do even better then the 12.0 pack. And I’m sure you know better then I do but does Milwaukee’s 3.0 HO do better then their XC 5.0? I’m just saying the XC 5.0 is outdated and lacks performance compared to all the new packs. Not disagreeing with anyone, love your videos.
