I think TTI works in cycles. They improve one brand, move to the next and circle back around. In doing so they move Ryobi up out of its intended budget range and thus Hart was born.
Hart is Walmart's exclusive brandi. Rigid is Home depot's premiere brand and Ryobi is the home gamer brand for HD TTI used to make Craftsman for Sears. Now Craftsman is made by Stanley Black and Decker for Lowe's to compete against the Rigid and Ryobi lines. Stanley Black and Decker's home gamer tool (Black and Decker) can't compete against the TTI home gamer tools.
@@jenkins9279 I just looked over their tool line again. It's good stuff. The drills and impacts appear to be higher end Ryobi tools of a year or two ago. The hammer drill is very similar to the Milwaukee of yesteryear, just with not as nice if ergonomics and not as nice of a handle.

I sold all my Rigid tools about a year ago and now 100% Milwaukee.. isn't it funny how life works lol. My Milwaukee super sawzall will eat any ridgid you put up against it
Literally just started to make the transition now... just bought my first Milwaukee power tool (½" compact impact wrench) and I'm absolutely pumped to get some more... sorry Ridgid... we had a good run!
I understand what your analogy, but I just got to nitpick. Sometimes I want to use a box cutter where I want to be rough and don't want to care about jacking up the blade :)
The ridgid sounds like the tool is getting bogged down a lot more on both the wood and I beam cuts, I would be curious to see how it actually holds up in the long run. 2 lbs is a lot of material to cut out between the two tools and even with superior specs on paper didn't seem to perform as well as the milwaukee.
TBH I'm just amazed either saw can cut through that beam and that these blades are so insane. The Ridgid def competes with the Milwaukee. I think the battery makes a huge difference. Fun comparison!
Padding has nothing to do with it (well, maybe a tiny bit). The corded and M18 FUEL Super Sawzall has double wobble plate construction, and the Ridgid does not. The wobble plates are the components that absorb all the abuse on the user. Take a Milwaukee Super Sawzall, either, put it on a table and w/out holding it, pull the trigger and let it run. Do the same thing with ANY other reciprocating saw, you’ll notice significant increase in vibration in the table. Boom!
Awesome video Vince....to me when you were at the middle part of the I beam, the M18 went thru it like a samurai sword slicing thru bamboo....the rigid saw cut thru the middle part a lot slower
I’ve had nothing but excellent service with them. I have a lot of their octane line. They gave me my LSA number I went to HD, got a replacement in a week because it couldn’t be repaired. It was pretty simple and painless. Only issue was the wait time since I’m a machine builder I use my tools every day.
Well said, numbers on paper don't pan out in real world scenarios. The Milwaukee SS has 3000spm but it doesn't bog down one bit, the Ridgid has 3200spm under no load but it was probably closer to 2000spm when being pushed.
jack smith He used a 3AH on the Milwaukee on another video and it was still twice as fast as the Ridgid. The Milwaukee just has the superior brushless motor, I'm not sugar coating it.
I have noticed lately that TTi is standardizing all their power tools throughout their brands to bring up the overall quality while cutting production costs.
That was a good hard test. The results were without any fan fare and loudless. Great job in my humble opinion. Ridgid does have great quality and I do like their stuff. They are without a doubt weekend warrior and DYI grade. I don't have any Milwaukie but from I hear is great stuff and you say great things about them.
when i first started using Sawzall's with metal blades you were able to get through only a few small cuts before the blades would stop working now you can cut just about anything with them

Yo Vince! I timed the cutting of the "tuba four" and M18 smoked the RIDGID. I didn't time the I-beam, but I think the SS still took it. Thank you for the demonstration and may God and Jesus's love be with you! 😁👍✌
Naw, Ridgid knows it’s place in the hierarchy. They’ll never be allowed to step up to Big Daddy Milwaukee, just like Ryobi can’t step up to Ridgid. Each in their own place with their own pro’s and con’s.
Rated speeds on the tools are "No Load" speeds. Once load is applied all speed ratings go out the window and motor torque is the determining factor of how strong and how fast the tool will get the job done.
I use rigid everyday and me and my boss did a little test, both using the brushless impacts of Milwaukee and Rigid, installing some trex decking, with the 2 amp battery mine kept up just as fast but my battery died about 15-20 mins before his. But I’ll still stand by rigid because if my tool brakes I just take it back, no questions asked and get a new one!
I'm not disputing the superiority of the Super Sawzall, but how is it a fair fight when you put a 12A up against a couple of tiny batteries? Their *combined* Ah capacity is HALF of that for the huge & heavy Milwaukee 12Ah battery. Not only is there more amp-hour capacity, that larger pack probably delivers a lot more peak amps the whole time it's discharging.
What i look for in a tool mostly besides accuracy and performance is "durability". so that remains to be seen. how long of a life does Rigid have VS Milwaukee.
Good test BUT your putting a 4ah against a 12ah. If I heard correctly the ridgid 4ah just has 18650 batteries and the 6 and 8 is supposed to have 21000 but I’m not 100% sure
Dude Vince tell the very cool gang Lowes is clearance out the metabo stuff they got the triple hammer impact one that does 1852 ft lbs of tourque for $42 bare tool unreal!!! making room for that flex power!!! jump on it gang!!
Fun video ! Vince's arms gonna need to call 911 after that earthquake . Probably was wondering , who the heck thought to cut an I-beam. Enjoyed that Diablo beast as well 💪💪💪💪
Well, ya had me going there for a minute. Then I remembered that Ridgid will never be allowed to supplant Milwaukee in the TTI hierarchy. I’ll say this though, I was impressed with the new offering from the boys in orange. I bet with a 9AH Octane battery it would have been a better shoot out, since the Super was sporting a 12AH. Would make a good TTR, the new RDG against a DW or MAK recip saw. Also, not sure if your hands were bothering you, causing you to release the trigger (or maybe repositioning your hand one time), but was that a thermal cutout I saw a few times from the Ridgid? Anyways, the Super’s double wobble plate construction probably made it a lot more comfortable to use, since it’s built for just that kind of task in mind, while the Ridgid wasn’t built for stuff like I beams. Still impressed, but I think Ridgid inflates their stats a little. Good job on the video Vince!
im glad you said it how it was! , milwaukee was butter smooth while rigid had ur left hand vibrating a shit ton, in the field that will wear u out big time 💯, not gonna lie tho rigid did look quick in the top half of the beam, but struggled alot on the bottom half of the beam
That vibration had to be brutal what was it 3 or 4 times Vince that you went one handed with the Ridgid and yes I saw how much extra wear was on the blade that you used on the Ridgid versus the Milwaukee it was very noticeable.
Nearly every single tool I own is from the dewalt top line & if I was to upgrade anything from any other brand the only 2 proven all round brands I would even contemplate would be makita or milwaukee, as a tradesman I will only use the proven best not the wanna bee's lol.
Man I was deep into auction bargain hunting when I seen some nonsense about Rigid being top dog. I had to come check it out. Had to drop everything and see what was up. Had me the first half of the video. Way to lure me in, love the videos BTW. Now back to my auction bids lol.
When ridgid first came around all those years ago, the huge benefit/perk of the brand was their service agreement/warranty. Like many people I bought in and slowly started acquiring some of their corded stuff. At that time and even today to some degree, I don't have loyalty to one brand. I do my due diligence and research specs, feel, size etc, and buy the best tool for me for the task I need to do. I was primarily a DeWalt guy for years and then I spent almost $200 on a compact 20-volt hammer drill. That thing was a complete hunk of garbage, and absolutely refused to counter sink a 3-in deck screw. I even drilled pilot holes, and it's still couldn't do it. A deal came along on a cordless Milwaukee combo kit, and I haven't gone back since. The ridgid cordless stuff seems like it's definitely upping its game, but so is Ryobi.
With the release of the new sawzall, just updated the angle grinder also. I feel a new fuel drill and impact model are coming down the pipeline as well
Honestly, I’m just blown away by the Diablo blades. I’ve used oxy/ace torch to cut steel for years and the fact that I can now do it with my recip saw is insane. Y’all know how much space I’ll save? Time and money?? Loving it!
@@phillipsofthedriver couldn’t afford a plasma cutter starting out, made a ton of cuts with the torch, became more than proficient and comfortable with the setup and never felt the need.
Haha I love it!! After Milwaukee obviously just flew threw the 2X4 and the ridged only slightly struggled, wanting to back up your original statement but sounding more like a used car salesman “yup the ridgid is definitely faster what do you guys think” then your go to the I beam and after burning through two batteries and the ridgid continues to bog down while the Milwaukee just goes through it nice and smooth.. “okay folks don’t always believe what you read on paper, real life results don’t always match with what’s on paper. Milwaukee is the FAR!! superior tool”😂😂 👌
Vince, seems that the clear consensus is formulated by test. Can’t hide the reality. Paper doesn’t add up to spit when you are out in the field. Ever tried Hilti on a job. I have and it bares a try even though their prices show how in love with their offerings. Their performance of their wired tools is legendary. Just thought I would ask you. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
Milwaukee was definitely faster to me. Ridgid seemed to bog slightly at times on the steel. It's not producing the 3200 rpm when pressure is applied it seems
The Perfect Painter Tool Review lol he precut the top rewatch it man I promise... and yea u would think it would be faster since he did but it was still slower lol watch the beginning of when he starts the cut on Milwaukee and then watch rigid it’s completely different u can see the blade just goes down with no resistance when he cuts rigid on the side closest to him....
@@addicted2tools he didn't precut it...that clip started a few seconds after he started cutting. Notice how the tool is already in motion when the clip starts. There could've been something that he didn't want on the video or something like that. Vince is clearly a milwaukee guy and was being sarcastic saying ridgid is top dawg now due to the spec on the ridgid sawzall. It also make for more ppl wanting to watch the video with a catchy title.
Yes ridgid shows good on paper but the weight difference in weight makes me wonder what corners were cut to get those number that will effect the tools overall life
I have used ridged for years and the numbers don’t matter the batteries from ridged suck the break easy the lose charge fast after a year the get stuck in the drills and become hard to come out I switched to Bosch and Milwaukee they both are amazing recommend them always I threw out over 2000 dollars of ridged tools because they never held up I always ended up getting more batteries more tools replacing what broke and the skill saw sucks the most out of it all i went threw three before I said I am done my ridged plug in sawzall broke in the first year I don’t miss treat tools I am a remolding guy not a contractor and the tools failed over and over
The specs on the Ridgid impacts and sawzall are better than the Metabo triple hammer and the Metabo multivolt sawzall, But there is no comparison, Im glad I watched to the end. And in 2 weeks, the Milwaukee killer "Flex" will be released, it will be the biggest tool flop in history.
No load numbers are one thing, but you can hear how the Rigid bogs down vs the Milwaukee. Besides, how long will it last? How will it actually perform in the field using it all day? Once I finished watching the video, I saw Vince actually conceded and said what I just did... Thanks Vince!!
i like your enthusiasm. i like milwaukee, ryobi and rigid all good. but probably doesn't matter i like that 12ah but depends what you you doing thanks for video.
i notice 2 things 1 when cutting with milwaukee the shoe was on the i beam more time, so less vibration and better cutting power 2 the i beam was not secure, lots of vibration and loss of cutting power, greatear loss with ridgid because the shoe was not properly use on the i beam if i understand correctly the tool shoe has to be on the i beam at all times to transmit all the power to the cutting blade and less vibration to the user
You should try the 3/4” impacts and hammer drill. They cannot take persistent usage. We use them both at work. If mode selector doesn’t work in only the 3 mode, you have to hold the battery in place with your off hand. The tool puts down some serious work, but the electrical connections can’t take it.
I didn't doubt milwaukee for even one sec. I was thinking maybe he's got the flu or he's feeling a little bit sleepy today. But then at the end of the video I was like there you go Milwaukee is the best. Paper dosent cut the steel the saw dose.
I’m a milwukee guy (partially due to this channel) but can’t really compare unless same size battery is used. I doubt I would ever buy rigid, but did pretty good 🤷🏽♂️
You had me there for a minute. I really though you were gonna endorse the Rigid over the Milwaukee. I think the added weight on the Milwaukee is the vibration dampening they added.
Looks like although Ridgid may technically have more strokes per second it doesnt have the power/force behind the stroke and so the blade is being slowed down and not cutting as fast.

A higher no load speed doesnt matter if with load stops the motor. So all comes down to torque regardless of the speed

Yo Vince! I timed the cutting of the "tuba four" and M18 smoked the RIDGID. I didn't time the I-beam, but I think the SS still took it. Thank you for the demonstration and may God and Jesus's love be with you! 😁👍✌
They are eating their own cuzzzzz nom, nom, nom
🤣🤣👍🏻
Naw, Ridgid knows it’s place in the hierarchy. They’ll never be allowed to step up to Big Daddy Milwaukee, just like Ryobi can’t step up to Ridgid. Each in their own place with their own pro’s and con’s.
@@Borescoped Exactly, stats might be roughly similar but there will be other factors to justify the price differences.
Rated speeds on the tools are "No Load" speeds. Once load is applied all speed ratings go out the window and motor torque is the determining factor of how strong and how fast the tool will get the job done.
That was an amazing test vince! I'm an auto mechanic and cut steel daily. Milwaukee cut and dry. Thanks!
I use rigid everyday and me and my boss did a little test, both using the brushless impacts of Milwaukee and Rigid, installing some trex decking, with the 2 amp battery mine kept up just as fast but my battery died about 15-20 mins before his. But I’ll still stand by rigid because if my tool brakes I just take it back, no questions asked and get a new one!
I'm not disputing the superiority of the Super Sawzall, but how is it a fair fight when you put a 12A up against a couple of tiny batteries? Their *combined* Ah capacity is HALF of that for the huge & heavy Milwaukee 12Ah battery. Not only is there more amp-hour capacity, that larger pack probably delivers a lot more peak amps the whole time it's discharging.
That blade you used is incredibly strong wow great videos guys !
Another walk in the park!!!! Chiguagua vs pitbull!!!
Go Vince!
Just the Facts!
What i look for in a tool mostly besides accuracy and performance is "durability". so that remains to be seen. how long of a life does Rigid have VS Milwaukee.
Diablo the real mvp of the video lol
The rigid seemed to lack consistent speeds unlike the Milwaukee
I love the head to head comparison! Big fan, keep up the great content guys! I’m a DeWalt guy myself!
Good test BUT your putting a 4ah against a 12ah. If I heard correctly the ridgid 4ah just has 18650 batteries and the 6 and 8 is supposed to have 21000 but I’m not 100% sure
👌💯
Good test.
I would like to see you test the Diablo circular saw metal cutting blade on an I-beam like that.
Dude Vince tell the very cool gang Lowes is clearance out the metabo stuff they got the triple hammer impact one that does 1852 ft lbs of tourque for $42 bare tool unreal!!! making room for that flex power!!! jump on it gang!!
I just watched a guy cut an I-Beam with a recip saw on youtube for 3 minutes...
To be the man you have to beat the man. Not even close under a heavy load. You could hear it in the motor. Milwaukee just doesn’t stop!
Fun video ! Vince's arms gonna need to call 911 after that earthquake . Probably was wondering , who the heck thought to cut an I-beam.
Enjoyed that Diablo beast as well 💪💪💪💪
Milwaukee all the way. Rigid maybe lighter and more SPM, but Milwaukee less SPM but heavier...there’s a reason for it. Power! Straight real power!
Ridgid did pretty well on the I-beam for a cheaper tool. Too bad you didn't have a larger battery as the battery swaps killed the "flow" ;)
Well, ya had me going there for a minute. Then I remembered that Ridgid will never be allowed to supplant Milwaukee in the TTI hierarchy. I’ll say this though, I was impressed with the new offering from the boys in orange. I bet with a 9AH Octane battery it would have been a better shoot out, since the Super was sporting a 12AH. Would make a good TTR, the new RDG against a DW or MAK recip saw.
Also, not sure if your hands were bothering you, causing you to release the trigger (or maybe repositioning your hand one time), but was that a thermal cutout I saw a few times from the Ridgid? Anyways, the Super’s double wobble plate construction probably made it a lot more comfortable to use, since it’s built for just that kind of task in mind, while the Ridgid wasn’t built for stuff like I beams. Still impressed, but I think Ridgid inflates their stats a little.
Good job on the video Vince!
th-cam.com/video/cpiKmJlk_rI/w-d-xo.html
Watching both of those saws cut through that I-Beam was awesome! Pretty crazy seeing a reciprocating saw do that. Well done, have a great night! 👍🏻
You as well Malone family! 👍🏻
Real Nice Like - Great test now lets see the Milwaukee M18 hammer drill Vs Dewalt Flexvolt hammer drill - Cheers Mate
im glad you said it how it was! , milwaukee was butter smooth while rigid had ur left hand vibrating a shit ton, in the field that will wear u out big time 💯, not gonna lie tho rigid did look quick in the top half of the beam, but struggled alot on the bottom half of the beam
Because top half was pre cut watch again
That vibration had to be brutal what was it 3 or 4 times Vince that you went one handed with the Ridgid and yes I saw how much extra wear was on the blade that you used on the Ridgid versus the Milwaukee it was very noticeable.
Im still sticking to my Milwaukee👍👍
Nearly every single tool I own is from the dewalt top line & if I was to upgrade anything from any other brand the only 2 proven all round brands I would even contemplate would be makita or milwaukee, as a tradesman I will only use the proven best not the wanna bee's lol.
Man I was deep into auction bargain hunting when I seen some nonsense about Rigid being top dog. I had to come check it out. Had to drop everything and see what was up. Had me the first half of the video. Way to lure me in, love the videos BTW. Now back to my auction bids lol.
When ridgid first came around all those years ago, the huge benefit/perk of the brand was their service agreement/warranty. Like many people I bought in and slowly started acquiring some of their corded stuff. At that time and even today to some degree, I don't have loyalty to one brand. I do my due diligence and research specs, feel, size etc, and buy the best tool for me for the task I need to do. I was primarily a DeWalt guy for years and then I spent almost $200 on a compact 20-volt hammer drill. That thing was a complete hunk of garbage, and absolutely refused to counter sink a 3-in deck screw. I even drilled pilot holes, and it's still couldn't do it. A deal came along on a cordless Milwaukee combo kit, and I haven't gone back since. The ridgid cordless stuff seems like it's definitely upping its game, but so is Ryobi.
With the release of the new sawzall, just updated the angle grinder also. I feel a new fuel drill and impact model are coming down the pipeline as well
I couldn’t live without my Sawzall.
Honestly, I’m just blown away by the Diablo blades. I’ve used oxy/ace torch to cut steel for years and the fact that I can now do it with my recip saw is insane. Y’all know how much space I’ll save? Time and money?? Loving it!
@@phillipsofthedriver couldn’t afford a plasma cutter starting out, made a ton of cuts with the torch, became more than proficient and comfortable with the setup and never felt the need.
@@trulyhappy8855 o/a torch all day🤦♂️
Awesome video!
Steel I-Beam - Developed by the one and only Bethlehem Steel!
Thanks Max, we appreciate it!

@@goldenwafflz1588 Lackawanna as well? :)
In my opinion the extra weight in a reciprocal saw is a good thing. Less shake, more cut. It’s a big help cutting one handed.
Haha I love it!! After Milwaukee obviously just flew threw the 2X4 and the ridged only slightly struggled, wanting to back up your original statement but sounding more like a used car salesman “yup the ridgid is definitely faster what do you guys think” then your go to the I beam and after burning through two batteries and the ridgid continues to bog down while the Milwaukee just goes through it nice and smooth.. “okay folks don’t always believe what you read on paper, real life results don’t always match with what’s on paper. Milwaukee is the FAR!! superior tool”😂😂 👌
This is off topic but head over to Lowe's!! Just picked up the Metabo triple hammer impact for $37 on clearance!!
Sweet
Yes Mark!
Also off topic but I got their 7 1/4 compound brushless miter saw for $125 yesterday on clearance. First time I was able to get any deals there.
Vince, seems that the clear consensus is formulated by test. Can’t hide the reality. Paper doesn’t add up to spit when you are out in the field. Ever tried Hilti on a job. I have and it bares a try even though their prices show how in love with their offerings. Their performance of their wired tools is legendary. Just thought I would ask you. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
Milwaukee again!!! Love it!!
Milwaukee was definitely faster to me. Ridgid seemed to bog slightly at times on the steel. It's not producing the 3200 rpm when pressure is applied it seems
He precut the beam on rigid watch again watch the top he didn’t even have to cut the side closest to him it was already cut
@@addicted2tools if he precut it for ridgid wouldn't it of been faster with the ridgid? Idt it was precut, the Milwaukee smoked the ridgid
Big difference in the bearings too
The Perfect Painter Tool Review lol he precut the top rewatch it man I promise... and yea u would think it would be faster since he did but it was still slower lol watch the beginning of when he starts the cut on Milwaukee and then watch rigid it’s completely different u can see the blade just goes down with no resistance when he cuts rigid on the side closest to him....
@@addicted2tools he didn't precut it...that clip started a few seconds after he started cutting. Notice how the tool is already in motion when the clip starts. There could've been something that he didn't want on the video or something like that. Vince is clearly a milwaukee guy and was being sarcastic saying ridgid is top dawg now due to the spec on the ridgid sawzall. It also make for more ppl wanting to watch the video with a catchy title.
Yes ridgid shows good on paper but the weight difference in weight makes me wonder what corners were cut to get those number that will effect the tools overall life
I have used ridged for years and the numbers don’t matter the batteries from ridged suck the break easy the lose charge fast after a year the get stuck in the drills and become hard to come out I switched to Bosch and Milwaukee they both are amazing recommend them always I threw out over 2000 dollars of ridged tools because they never held up I always ended up getting more batteries more tools replacing what broke and the skill saw sucks the most out of it all i went threw three before I said I am done my ridged plug in sawzall broke in the first year I don’t miss treat tools I am a remolding guy not a contractor and the tools failed over and over
The specs on the Ridgid impacts and sawzall are better than the Metabo triple hammer and the Metabo multivolt sawzall, But there is no comparison, Im glad I watched to the end. And in 2 weeks, the Milwaukee killer "Flex" will be released, it will be the biggest tool flop in history.
Post a video on Twitter and tag us Chuck, I want to see it! 👍🏻
@@VCGConstruction On a Flex / Milwaukee battle? Or a Metabo HPT / Ridgid battle?
No load numbers are one thing, but you can hear how the Rigid bogs down vs the Milwaukee. Besides, how long will it last? How will it actually perform in the field using it all day?
Once I finished watching the video, I saw Vince actually conceded and said what I just did... Thanks Vince!!
i like your enthusiasm. i like milwaukee, ryobi and rigid all good. but probably doesn't matter i like that 12ah but depends what you you doing thanks for video.
maybe if you compare the regular fuel sawzall to the rigid instead of the super sawzall
i notice 2 things
1 when cutting with milwaukee the shoe was on the i beam more time, so less vibration and better cutting power
2 the i beam was not secure, lots of vibration and loss of cutting power, greatear loss with ridgid because the shoe was not properly use on the i beam
if i understand correctly the tool shoe has to be on the i beam at all times to transmit all the power to the cutting blade and less vibration to the user
I’ve had like half of my Milwaukee tools go out because of a faulty trigger. I don’t give up on them though
You should try the 3/4” impacts and hammer drill. They cannot take persistent usage. We use them both at work. If mode selector doesn’t work in only the 3 mode, you have to hold the battery in place with your off hand. The tool puts down some serious work, but the electrical connections can’t take it.
Does that mean there is a new updated Milwaukee coming soon?
Those blades are amazing
I didn't doubt milwaukee for even one sec. I was thinking maybe he's got the flu or he's feeling a little bit sleepy today. But then at the end of the video I was like there you go
Milwaukee is the best. Paper dosent cut the steel the saw dose.
Really cutting through a I- beam I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it..Harris Family Construction
I’m a milwukee guy (partially due to this channel) but can’t really compare unless same size battery is used. I doubt I would ever buy rigid, but did pretty good 🤷🏽♂️
You had me there for a minute. I really though you were gonna endorse the Rigid over the Milwaukee.
I think the added weight on the Milwaukee is the vibration dampening they added.
Milwaukee all the way !!
Looks like although Ridgid may technically have more strokes per second it doesnt have the power/force behind the stroke and so the blade is being slowed down and not cutting as fast.
Milwaukee for the win!!!
