- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 เม.ย. 2021
- We are testing the 800 inch pound Ridgid Max Output Hammer Drill against its big brother, the 1,300 inch pound Ridgid Octane Hammer Drill. The go through several tests to push the Max Output to the very edge of what it's capable of handling. This is not a fair comparison.

Thank you.
Ridgid should have released a Gen 2 Octane line like Milwaukee does with the Fuel. They will suffer for this.
That Octane hammer drill still impresses me on many of my jobs. It's a great hammer drill. I like that the new one is more compact, but, it does take away from the power quite a bit. To each their own. Thanks for the comparison video 🙂✌️♥️
My pleasure. The Octane hammer drill is my personal favorite tool to use. I try to use it daily. Thanks for watching.
I’m a electrician. I use my octane drill with my 3.0 amp octane battery. Perfect weight to power ratio. Drill all day with it.
My favorite tool.
Ironic, considering the new Max Output impact driver is considered better than the Octane generation and it doesn't even have the extra Max Output contacts that the new hammer drill has.
I love my octane hammer drill. Disappointing to see Ridgid going backwards
Not sure they are going backwards. The Max Output hammer drill is a big improvement over the Gen5X. It doesn't have the power of the Octane though. I will say that the remainder of the kit is a significant improvement over their Octane counterparts.
@@ToolswithSoAlz agreed
So, do you ever send these video results to Ridgid? I would like to think that if they were to see them (at least the people who develop the tools anyway). That they would keep the Octane line going
I haven't really and wouldn't know how
@@ToolswithSoAlz I would love it if big companies were more open to suggestion of the users of their products than they seem to be. I know that they have customer services. But unfortunately it seems to be only for the ordering and or replacement part services. I honestly really appreciate the channels like yours and others. Because it helps people like me to make actual decisions prior to purchase that are based on visually seeing what a product is capable of doing rather than just putting all trust on the companies ratings or word of mouth situations
@@colehealy9113 a lot of people say this however I actually mean it. I don't make videos for me. I make them for you and hope you enjoy them. I consider my channel entertainment and educational. More importantly I just hope that another person falls in love with tools the way I have and they share that love with others. That may sound corny but it is also sincere.
@@ToolswithSoAlz I'm definitely a subscriber to your channel. On another note. I originally started purchasing Ridgid tools because I had a long conversation with a friend of mine who was a contractor. And he had owned all 4 of the big companies tools. And the only ones that withstand being dropped repeatedly are Ridgid lol. I know not a normally good decision making tool when it comes to buying power tools. But after owning the ones that I do. I don't think I'll ever be likely to go any other direction
@@colehealy9113 for me, Ridgid represents the best overall value in the market today. I have several of them and will continue to add to that collection.
I agree with you 100% on this test you ran when people run this test either you or anyone else when they other two batteries do come out 6.0 ah Max output and 8.0 ah Max output batteries it's been confirmed that they both have 21700 cells inside so that should change the playing field for the test moving forward once those batteries are released right now the tools are underpowered that are available in comparison to octane in a lot of sense sure once those batteries with those higher cells come out people won't be complaining as much amazing thank you sharing
I wish all of the batteries were available right now because I would be testing them against the standard and Octane's.
@@ToolswithSoAlz by the October November they should be in store or at least online for what we all read
@@bluemantom77 That's what I've seen as well.
Nice pants
I really hate the Ridgid's drill with led light in the chunk. The brushed Gen 5 hammer drill loose the drill bit went the drill stop. The same happens with the Octane brushless hammer drill. I think is something with the chunks and led light ring.
I do like having the light ring and a lot of times the chuck let's loose on me because I backed past the lock. However, a lot of people have issues with the chucks keeping the bit. That doesn't seem to be an issue with the new Max Output hammer drill. Overall I have been pretty impressed with the new drill, even though it has less power than the Octane.
@@ToolswithSoAlz yeah, those in the Octane and Gen 5X with the led ring in the chunks have problems with loosen the drill bits. I'm very glad to hear that this new one version don't have chunk problems. The R86116 hammer drill don't have that problem and don't have led light ring in the chunk.
@@chicox37 well, I just hope you enjoyed the video. It showed both the good and the bad in both drills.
The two drills are fine, if you're a home owner and are working on a big hole drilling project just get the corded Milwaukee hammer drill for $99 8 amp, 48,000 BPM 2,800 RPM and work all day everyday without stopping to charge your batteries 😂
I wish the new drill a little bigger with more torque
Luckily they still have the Octane available and it is awesome. The new drill is probably more powerful that most of the other ones in that space. The good news is that Ridgid is always coming out with new hammer drills so, it is pretty likely they'll make another one that is bigger and stronger. That being said, the new Max Output can do 90-95% of what most people are ever going to need it for.
Its the 21700 cells in the octane batteries the high output has 18650
You're right. That's why I'm going to revisit this when the new 6 and 8ah batteries come out. They are supposed to have the 21700 cells and I'll compare then to the Octane's. I know the Octane 6 and 9ah batteries have 18650 cells but I also see a lot of people, on Facebook in particular, having a gloom and doom view of the Max Output. I really like the new tools.
Only the 3ah has the 21700 cells
The 6ah has 18650 cells in it
@@ToolswithSoAlz- Is that right (regarding the Octane 6ah & 9ah batteries having the 18650 cells? I didn't know that)? WOW! I wonder why? I'm sure you're aware, but can still buy a set of Octane 3ah batteries (w/ charger & I think a bag) on HD app for $149. After watching a number of your comparison vids (been subscribed for awhile now - LOVE the channel 👍🏼💯), I think I'm gonna go ahead & snag a set while still available. Thanks for all the great info you provide!
Compare the size of the new ridgid vs the Milwaukee they are virtually the same size and it can do it with no problem 😊 👌
I just picked up the Milwaukee so the winner of the shootout will be facing it in an upcoming video.
I see the biggest Ridgid hammer drill, like the Gen 5X, Octane and this one, and the best in general I thinks is this new one. But I still prefer the compact version, the R86116. Is a lightweight, and compact version.
The Octane is huge for sure. I personally do love using it though. The Max Output, the newest hammer drill from Ridgid, is smaller than the R86116 I think. I do think the Milwaukee style auxiliary handle is a big improvement over the old ones but I wish it were a bit longer.
@@ToolswithSoAlz I would like to see a comparison between this new hammer drill and the Ridgid compact R86116. I would very surprised if the new one is smaller and lightweight.
@@chicox37 I am going to be going to Direct Tools, in a few weeks, if they have the R86116 there I will pick it up for a comparison.
Company that is using different batteries for its tools aint that smart. Therefore its a risk investing in it altogether. I did same mistake. Started to buy makita 18v tools, a year ago befire the 40v came out. Now i wasted 800 dollars like an idiot
I don't think you wasted any money by buying Makita. They are an awesome company. Also, they are going to continue making tools in their 18v platform. So, those tools are still going to be around. Don't beat yourself up over things beyond your control.
As for Ridgid, I am still going to buy their tools but will be picking up, and registering, some when I see them in the clearance section.
Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video.
@@ToolswithSoAlz
I cant buy ridgid, im in south europe. We only have AEG, which is european version of ridgid, but we dont get american warranty. If you want proper warranty in europe, hilti is the way to go. There is no tool that can surpass hilti. Tools itself arent strong enough, but its such good company, rarely found on this planet. Their tools are made here, they are made by an european hand and they are fixed by an european hand. The only reason i went with makita is cuz i wanted makita's duc353, beautiful small 36v chainsaw. Cuts like a gasoline version under 2kw. So since i got 2×6ah makita batteries, it was logical to continue with makita. But i realized that i can buy any tool and buy an adapter for battery. So i can fit any other brand with my makita batteries. But still, im sad, should have waited for 40v :(
@@i1bike it makes sense. I didn't know you were in Europe. You're right, of course, Hilti is one of the best brands you can buy into.
@@ToolswithSoAlz
Hilti should reinvent themself a little bit. Tools and batteries are outdated. They neef to make one battery platform like makita with 40v. Cuz they have couple of diff batteries, and i dont like that. We in europe are very careful with our buyings. We cant really go out there and buy bunch of stuff in big box stores. For example, here in croatia we have almost the tripple prices for something in the US. Ive been comparing some american dewalt deals, ive seen 7 piece tool box kit for 500 dollars. Went to my croatian retail market, here it costs little bit more than 2000 dollars. I was shocked. Milwaukee is even more expensive, its actually hilarious how they are ripping us off. When i saw some makita deals in american big box stores i almost fainted. Here is some small comparison: In united states, makita 36v rotary hammer drill with double charger, two batteries and box costs 840 euros. In croatia same tool, bare without box, without double charger and without two batteries costs 1300 dollars hahahaha. I was paying 240 dollars for just one 6ah makita battery haha.
@@i1bike wow! I had no idea. That seems crazy. I wouldn't have a tool channel if I lived there. I am wondering why the cost is so much more.
So sad
I'm not sure to what you're referring. Did you not like the video?
@@ToolswithSoAlz Ridgid is leaving the party. The new hammer drill is gutless compared to the octane line. Ridgid really needs to rethink this and release a drill that will at least compare to the octane line.
@@TheShoelaceBandit while I agree the new hammer drill isn't as strong as the Octane version, and that is disappointing, I don't think power is what they focused on. No, it looks like Ridgid is looking to make smaller, more comfortable tools that will appeal to a bigger audience. Also, there were two different hammer drills, one being a Non-Octame brushless and the Octane, and the blows the Non-Octane out of the water. That is of little comfort but it could mean Ridgid will release a more powerful version down the road. I know that I have been very impressed with all of the new tools. I appreciate you watching and I hope you give the rest of the new tools a shot. They are pretty great.
Verdict. New hammer drill is weak. Ridgid u suk for giving us weaker tool than last gen. Make it just as strong as old octane or we buy milwaukee :)
Only the hammer drill is weaker, but still stronger than their Gen5X. All of the other tools are superior to their Octane counterparts.
