In case anyone was wondering, for the Octane 1" the stopwatch is showing 12.8 seconds and for the new impact: 8.7 seconds: 32% faster than the octane.
That's great. I really have to learn how to put a timer in these videos.
@@ToolswithSoAlz Yeah beats me man. Maybe just buy a big clock for the background? I'm fairly certain on the iMovie app for iOS that you can do an overlay- so with that idea you could potentially film a stopwatch app (via screen record) and put that in the corner- all assuming you have an iPhone / iPad / Mac of course.
@@Rapidfire556 Unfortunately I run an Android phone. I use a video editing software on my laptop and I'm sure there is a way to add the stop watch effect. I just have to find the time to figure it out.
SAME HERE.
My first set of power tools were hand me down ryobis, navy blue. The Circ saw would jam up on everything and I only bought corded saws for the longest time.
What if you switch the batteries? Use octane battery on the new brushless driver, and vise versa. I want to know if the difference is in the battery or the tool.
I am going to do a video, within the next week, exploring the difference between the Max Output and Octane batteries. I'll be putting each on the same tool and will try to get some kind of stopwatch in the video. That way we will know which gives you better performance.
I ended up taking your advice and doing a video comparing the batteries
@@ToolswithSoAlz Is the video out yet?
@@CrankImmortals yes it is. I'll find you the link if you want.

Getting up to speed on some of your older Ridgid videos, now that I’m making the transition into the Ridgid line. Very impressed with the Max Output impact driver and I’m happy that it’s included in the 4 tool kit that I’ll be picking up soon. I would put that impact right up there with the Gen 3 Milwaukee, which I also have. One other thing to note aside from the incredible power of the driver is the fact that it seems Ridgid also improved the grip of the collet. The Octane lost some of the bits when you released the driver out of the material. That wasn’t the case with the Max Output. It had no problem holding on to bits when you pulled it out of the wood. Great job Robert!
Thank you Hokie. I love that Max Output impact driver. One of the most underrated tools on the market
Does anyone happen to know the model number of that max output driver? Thinking of picking one up
Defenitly looks and sounds like the new max output impact driver got a ton more power realll niceeeee likeee
Of all my impacts there is only one that can outdo the Max Output
@@ToolswithSoAlz I'm sure that tool is the gen 3 Milwaukee I have 2 of them
@@AntonioClaudioMichael it is
Good video I like that impact driver the new one it has a lot of power even though it's missing Tri light that was on the both gen 5 versions and the octane impact driver when the bore bit came out it it might have been the the retention balls inside I've noticed people have issues with Milwaukee as well you might just be something with TTI they make both the new one didn't seem to have that issue I personally haven't noticed it it might be some batches I enjoyed the video all around thank you for sharing it's good to see you made an intro
My goal is to get 1% better with every new video. I'm having fun and have finally started to get additional video ideas from viewers. It's been fun.
As for the bearings, I've never had an issue before but it is a well known TTI issue.
Nice video. Thanks so much.
Thank you. I hope you liked it. Please, would you watch some of my other videos and give me your honest opinion? I always feel awkward asking folks to do that but I can't think of a better way to improve my channel.
@@ToolswithSoAlz I definitely will! Maybe a side-by-side comparison when being used.
@@kevink2555 if I were coordinated enough to do it I would. Lol! I will try.
So, I've seen a couple of videos that you have don't comparing the Octane tools with the Max output line. And after seeing this one. It seems it may be just as much or more to do with the specific tool than the batteries themselves. I have just recently purchased the high torque impact wrench that Ridgid still currently has out. That has (at least on a different channel). Completely dominated the Milwaukee high torque model. Of course the battery used was the Octane 3ah. Which according to everything I've been able to find. Is the only Ridgid Octane battery that came with the 21700 cells in them. So I'm wondering if a different ah Octane battery was used like a 6 or 9 ah if tue results would still show Octane coming out on top more often than the Max output?
I've tested both brands using the opposing battery and usually the Max Output comes out on top. The one tool where that isn't the case is the Octane hammer drill. That thing is a monster. Of course I do try to do comparable batteries, ah at least, against one another. Later this year I'll be testing the 6ah Octane battery against the 6ah Max Output. That will give us all a better idea of which battery is best and I'll do it with both lines of tools so we know which models are superior or inferior. Should be fun. Thank you for watching.
@@ToolswithSoAlz I'm actually quite excited and curious to see what the Max output battery does on my octane high torque impact wrench. If it can do what it is supposed to do. I may not even bother putting the 3ah Octane battery on it. Mostly just because I am aware if the weight difference. But also the fact that it seems that the Max output batteries are smaller in size but still just as powerful
@@colehealy9113 I'll try testing it out myself. I might even shoot a video
I have the octane 3 ah and 6ah batteries. And the same impact you have. I can say the 6ah makes it more powerful. This is especially noticable when im using the 4inch angle grinder and the circular saw.... until they are at the last bar the last bar it seems like the 3ah holds a bit more.
I’ll use octane and if it dies I’ll let LSA do it’s thing great video buddy glad ridgid is getting smaller like my Milwaukee m18 gen 3 kits
The Octane's are great and I really enjoy them. I got this kit because I love power tools. What's surprised me is that, so far, they have all outperformed their Octane counterpart. Some of the new changes might not be for the better but overall they are very impressive tools. I'm telling you now, the Max Output hammer drill is likely going to surprise everyone. This is one of the reasons I was reserving judgement until I got the tools in my hand. Looking back at it, I believe I was right.
What kind of vise did you use to hold piece of wood?
A six inch vise I got from Tractor Supply. Not sure what brand it is
That’s just beautiful, getting that screw in no noise and easy. But Guys n Gals the tools is awesome. But the way this guys is getting it done rescuers skill. You can do that, but takes time and dedication.
Thank you Juan
Is there any noticeable change in performance of the new brushless impact if you use the octane battery?
There isn't really that much of a difference until I use a 6 or 9ah Octane battery. However that could be just the fact that there are more cells to draw from. Thank you for watching and let me know if there is a way for me to improve the quality of the videos, if you please.
@@ToolswithSoAlz shorter vids, edits, summary of wtf i just watched(results)
@@ToolswithSoAlz clean up the damn garage!
@@bryanbambrick4826 Are you coming to help if not shut up
@@ToolswithSoAlz Directed at TRZ - not you - temper temper
Are the batteries gonna be interchangeable?
Yes, they are compatible with all Ridgid 18v tools
Nice video and head 2 head bro
Thank you
Good to see ridgid getting smaller and more powerful
The new impact driver is amazing. I have tested it against several other brands, off camera, and it has done amazingly well. I won't spoil it for you but it maybe one of the strongest on the market right now.
Yeah, that's awesome I'm going to have to pick one up soon. Thanks for the video
@@sawyercampion8822 I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Cool new intro
That's the old intro.
@@ToolswithSoAlz oh
Them lags look like 6 inch 3/8 lags
Why does everyone cover the tools vents when they use them?
Proper tool control
I know this is an old video. I have been getting back on Ridgid just recently thanks to those clearance deals I have been coming across. I have to say that I had to learn to love Ridgid as I know deep down there are certain things I don't like about them, but they are no deal breakers. I find myself comparing Ridgid with Kobalt constantly, but it seems to me that Ridgid is a step above it as the quality is better. I think a fair comparison would be Metabo HPT as that brand provides lifetime warranty on like 85% of their tools just like Ridgid. The way I see it, I feel TTi is trying to step up every brand that they work on because if you pay attention to the details, the new Ryobi is shaping to look like Ridgid of last gen, while Ridgid is starting to look like the Milwaukees of last gen. If I am not mistaken....they might bring back Octane in some shape or form....possibly under a different name. First, they need to release the basic line of tools that they have announced, then implement the Fuel formula.
I don't know what Ridgid's plans are but I'm looking forward to finding out
very true. never thought of it like that.
I miss the Gen5X and the Octane sad that they were discontinued
I gave them a memorial service the day it was announced the lines were ending.
@@ToolswithSoAlz nice
Thankfully there's Ebay
@@imemovengeance true dat
@@imemovengeance only downside to eBay is since they are no longer sold by ridgid sellers will think they are a one of a kind worth gold tool and sell them for 2 to 5 times what ridgid sold them for lol 🤣🤣 unless you find a honest ebayer which is rare
Which models are these?
Speed 3 each
@@ToolswithSoAlz R862301 Brushless Impact Driver?
Not sure right now.
You can always use your phone as a timer and just show the phone screen in the video broski
I ended up figuring it out, in a way. Still more work to do before it looks as good as some others,
Try it with 3amp on both and 4amp on both they are enterchangeable not 3on 1 and 4 on the other 4amp kicks out alittle mor then 3 amp no matter the cells!??
The Octane battery does perform better then the 4ah battery.
Looks like u have the octane on speed 1.. the lights give that away.
If you say so but I don't. The Octane is slow and underpowered. This is from one of the most Ridgid friendly reviewers on TH-cam. The Max Output easily dominates the Octane. For further evidence you can see this confirmed by Pro Tool Reviews on their PTR test track.
Dude I just spend 280 on the octane 2 drills I did know the other one was even out 😢😢😢
I am uploading a video right now that I hope will make you feel better. It should be up for viewing tonight or tomorrow, just depends on TH-cam.
Return it and buy the one you want. This isnt marriage.
90 day return with HD go get he new one
You can't compare a 3ah to a 4 ah. Also, don't use Phillips for the screw test.
Actually, giving the Octane the 3ah battery was giving it an advantage. The 3ah Octane battery has 21700 cells that gives the impact driver extra power. The 4ah Max Output battery only has 18650 cells.
As for using a Phillips head screw, it is an impact driver competition and that is what these were designed to do. If you have a suggestion on different tests I should use then I am open to trying it.
However, these tests showed, beyond a shadow of doubt, the Max Output is far more powerful and fast than the Octane.
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
Thank you Ted
You using 3amh Octane battery in comparison to 4amh with Max output battery of new model..unfair comparison
Ah the old, "You used the wrong battery" trope. The fact of the matter is that the 3ah Octane battery should have given the Octane impact a huge step up in performance. The 3ah Octane battery happens to have 217pp cells in it whereas the 4ah Max Output only has 18650 cells. What you saw was the Octane getting beaten handily by the new brushless Max Output. But what you didn't see was an unfair comparison.
Using a 4 AH in the Max battery and using a 3 AH in the obtain battery. Crying foul.
I gave the Octane the advantage
Usless comparison video for batteries... There are too many variables especially since you are using an older impact with one battery and the new version with the other battery.
Thanks for watching. I look forward to your next video.
You're using two different tools! lol. This tells us nothing.
Because you think it's about batteries and not the tools. I did a video showing the batteries used in the same tool. If you listened, the tool comparison came within the first minute or so of the video.
