RIDGID: Powerful. Durable. Professional.
Used this with a foot long 1 inch diameter concrete bit. The drill itself handles it like a champ, but it makes even the 6 amp hour batteries scream for mercy!
I’ve switched almost all of my tools over to Ridgid for work. Your not the only fan boy. My Dewalt XRP is now a maraca after 3 years. Done with Dewalts. The megamax is a beast. I love it.
Right on Kasey. Not to mention the warranty cant be beat. Glad to see Ridgid is heading in the right direction. Dewalt way overpriced if you ask me buddy
It just makes sense... like subscribing to Tool Review Zone and not VCG.
Haha, your the man Kesey!
Oh and fyi bro, we may be having a huggggge ridgid giveaway once we hit 10k subs. Stay tuned buddy
That’s sweet. I’m gonna switch out my old 18v Dewalts I have for personal and side jobs soon. I really want to snag those Black Friday special edition Ridgids.
I have mostly Ridgid Tools and it all has been very good to me. I know some guys who are not having very much luck with the tools at all but I treat all my stuff like crap and it keeps coming back for more. When you couple that with a lifetime service agreement when registering online, there's really no reason to buy any other tool even if you are a professional trades person.
That's a great point about the warranty and something that I will be adding the information on for future video East Coast
Impressive to say the least. I am also a huge fan of the new octane line. hope to add this and the jig saw to the collection really soon!
They are awesome Trey.
I have the non brushless Gen 5 and absolutely love it, best gun ever! It's fast too
High torque hammer drill leaderboard: Metabo and Ridgid tied for 1st place at 1,300 in lbs. I believe Hitachi is next with 1,240 in lbs. Barely behind that is the AEG fusion with 1,239 in lbs. Down from there we have the Milwaukee gen2 and gen3 both at 1,200 in lbs. Next down is Makita at 1,090 in lbs. DeWalt has to be up there too but they don't use in lbs to measure torque so we can only guess. I think that covers all the drills over 1,000 in lbs
Lol' damn bro. Great info!
King' is this what you are using to take vcg down?
Nice bro. I'll be there!
According to Ridgid this drill should be out within a week.
That's what I would think buddy.
Just got mine today damn I’m impressed Idk if I wanna take it to work dudes be asking for it
The only tool with a lifetime warranty
It's not a warranty. It's a service agreement. Huge difference.
I was between this octane hammer drill and the Milwaukee gen 3 but since I have more ridgid I’ll stick with ridgid there awesome used it today to mix a 5 gallon bucket of concrete mix it was impressive with my 9ah 🔋
The Ridgid is nice, love those LEDs....another great review.
Thank my bro! Always great to hear from you Eddie!
On my list replacing my 5x - but not letting it to go the dead zone because my other plumbers use it - this octane will be my precious :)
Lol
ah mode 2 is a beautiful thing, makes me smile every time
Haha me too bro!
Loving the music and the review. !!
Thanks bro!
Same model but my drill does not have the directional triangles highlighted in white. Mine are just black.
Paid $80 dollars for it the other day for that octane drill charger and 3ah octane battery best deal ever!
Awesome deal bro
Love the video bro! Keep em coming.
Thanks M A!
Love it also. Use mine to mix grout and mortar. Never an issue.
Thanks for sharing Gary!
i cant find it anywhere. my first one was broken after 6 years and they are not selling this model anymore. sad.
We need a octane circular saw next from ridgid
It will be coming soon I'm sure bro
@@ToolReviewZone ok cos i need a circular saw an aint want the old model
it seems in your test here that you're not experiencing the problem with the chuck getting loose by itself as you use the power tool. is there any situation that you're experiencing it off cam? thanks for the attention =)
Hey b1. Yes, I've had issues with the chuck coming loss offer. Its actually frustrating, and I've reached out to Ridgid about this issue. It happens mostly on the impact mode.
My 700 inch pound hammer drill it’s getting repaired it’s LSA the tool stays in hammer drill in all modes even in drill and driver mode so it’s something internal gonna watch out with my brushed and this octane hammer drill with it
I wish I had bought this drill befor they cut it cause now I can’t find it anywhere
How come your hammer drill says “Gen 5x” at the back? The model number is the same as my octane....but what’s weird is that these drills show up as Gen 5x in the LSA. Any idea why that is?
These are nice drills no doubt , decent power , reasonable price and well thought out for the most part....however , they do not seem seem to be able to put up heavy duty all day bashing on the job site. I’ve seen 2 of these drills give up the ghost in the last 2 weeks. I cannot say for sure exactly what happened......however the problem seems to be in the trigger....
Yo TRZ did you happen to notice the electronic brake making a loud noise when you let of the trigger on speed 2 under no load? It seems to be the only bad reviews posted about this drill in the HD reviews. My Brand new one made it I even exchanged it thinking it was defective but the other 2 did the same thing. It sounds like a knocking or grinding.
What's up Adam. Na, but the issue that I have is the chuck is constantly loosening on me. Its drive me nuts. Haven't had any knocking sounds though
@@ToolReviewZone it loosens on you even under load when using it? Because Ridgid said people are complaining about the chuck loosening but it's because they are using it under no load and it won't do it under load.
@@advanders3705 yeah bro its under load. I was the first to ever review this tool and mentioned it to them. They said it was because the brake stops the chuck to quickly when it stops, but still doesn't make sense when its going through concrete
@@ToolReviewZone ya that's what they told me too, but they said it shouldn't do that under load. I like the promo they have for the driver and impact and get 2 tools free for $350 but I returned it and got the Milwaukee driver impact kit that comes with a recip saw and the rolling pack out for $450. The Milwaukee does the same noise on speed 2 but not as loud. Milwaukee said it will work it's self out since it's a brand new tool the magnets are still trying to get seated correctly. Im thinking about returning the Milwaukee kit and going back for the Ridgid deal because I already have a couple Ridgid batteries and tools and the LSA is such a good deal with the tools but that Ridgid hammer drill scares me. I'm torn brother.
I have this exact drill. The chuck keeps loosening up when in use. Doesn't matter how hard I tighten it, it loosens up and the bit falls out. I'm assuming my chuck is defective, just wondering if anyone else has this problem. I love the Ridgid Octane line, but this tool has let me down.
Yeas the same exact problem. I've reached out to them about it as well
if I'm punching through steel I'm using an impact. But still appreciate the showing.
No problem Matt!
Just picked it up last night. Was glad to find it instock. Great drill and huge increase in power from other GEN5X drills which were good enough.
Nice Mike. Its is beastly bro
Ridgid is the best of the bests. It generates so less noise and run very smoothly. You can use Ridgid machines without any anti noise headset.
Rip octane and gen5x 2018-2021
You said it your Fanboy I I'm a fanboy to Orange love yes it does the job I needed to do you take care of the little ones and your wife will see you on your next review
We can be fan boys together bro. Thanks for all the well wishes my friend' and back to you
Sure do buddy!
Sorry to say no stock on homedepot apps haha
I need to wait till next month☺️
They should be on the soon buddy. Sometimes the Deeps keep some in the back of the store. If you ask, you may get lucky
Please challenge Vince and the gen 3 this Drill is beast
Lol, maybe I'll give him a call out bro
Lmao, ok let me see what I can do
Grate work.
Thanks chicox!!
Can't. Wait. For. The new jigsaw coming soon
99 comments? Wow😮, I guess mine makes a 100. Great powerful drill and good review...
Yes is does Bobby. Thanks buddy!
I love my rigid tools
I have the r86116, what's the difference between this and mine except the LED light in the chuck?
This one runs on the OCTANE platform which send more power to the drill when needed. It's also a smart battery which has an app and many different functions. Many could care less about the app, but the power is definitely noticeable. Also helps conserve power as it only uses what it needs
@@ToolReviewZone mines not an Octane
Impressive
so what the different gen5x and octane ?
Great vídeo thanks, for me are the best ,winer the milwuakee and DeWalt 996. Great tool brother very strong.👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the comment Americo!
Nice tool
When can we expect to see a octane vs fuel comparison?
Go to the vcg construction TH-cam channel at 5pm eastern as we are doing a live showdown between the two of them
Nice. I been talking. About for. A. Few months now. I. Need. To. Get. This in my hands soon is it. Really. 1300 foot pounds of torque??? I. Am. Team Ridgid. I. Still. Like my older DeWalt dc935 I. Got. N.o.s. In February. I. Use it. For. Home diy but. That Ridgid. Got me. Happy
inch pounds
How well does the drill work with a regular 18v battery? Or the non-octane battery?
Still works great, but I wouldn't buy it unless you were running the OCTANE as the other drill would have the same amount of power
Thanks for this review...1300 lbs simply Awesome!... By the way, is it lightweight or heavy?
Hey jaguar, thanks for the comment. Its definitely a bit heavier and larger than something like the Gen3 Milwaukee. All in all, not to bad though
1300 inch pounds is impressive indeed.
Trz I think that drill will beat the Milwaukee fuel peace brother
It's going to be close bro. The gen5 is beastly, but so is that Milwaukee.
hey "fanboy" great vid "fanboy" thanks for the vid "fanboy" lol man that thing looks beastly!!
Haha, think this will make anyone who uses it a fanboy. Thanks Mike!
Trz I wish my ryobi brushless hammer drill had that much power 😢😢😢😢🤤😔
See that Richard, I made it easy for you buddy
Richard just paint can Ridgid alien green and then you call your your Ryobi everything works that way you take care okay
Just use the HP batteries Richard..
WOW!
Beast right bro!
The only information I was able to get on this is exactly what you said that is 1300 foot pounds of torque but I also know it's 2 speed what are those specs usually 0-500 low speed I'm just guessing here
Hey bro, its in the video, but just to make it available, low is 0-540 RMP High is 0-2,000 RPM Low 0-8,000 BPM and high is 31,000 BPM
@@ToolReviewZone thanks bro I appreciate it awesome video I'm sending a list to santa the tool man want this for Christmas and the octane Jigsaw
Any time buddy. Fyi, ridgid is giving away 3 OCTANE MEGAMax tools on their Instagram page. Go over and enter bro!
I have that 9.0 ah octane battery on regular brushless and i see that that one has the chick just like the ridgid gen 5x brushed version is this better in every way?
Hey Daniel, the OCTANE battery will simply work like a regular battery in non OCTANE tools. One you use this in the OCTANE tools, it's a whole different ball game bro. Shirt answer, its better in every way
Tool Review Zone I have the brushless octane recip saw it is impressive I used it pruning a large branch omg it was impressive with a 9.0ah gonna have to check it out great review
I have that review on here for the recip, and just uploaded the jigsaw vid the other day. They are monsters bro!
Tool Review Zone just got it today lovin’ it so far the 3 led chuck light was on the gen 5x brushed hammer drill so the chuck ain’t nothing new it’s awesome
Told you it was beastly bro. Tip.... when you crank that chuck tight, turn it back one click to prevent it from opening on you
Trz would you ever try the ryobi brushless hammer drill out with the 9.0hd batterie if home depot sent it to you to review
Yeah bro' I love me some Ryobi. I am actually getting ready to review the stick vacuum right now' and like it better than the Makita
@@ToolReviewZone did you get the upgrade filter for it that I posted on Instagram and you should put the 9.0hp batterie on the ryobi stick vacuum to make it a lot better
@@stringbean9039 I just have the regular filter in it. It came with the 4.0 so I'm probably just going to review it with that since that's what was in the box. I should have listened to you a long time ago about this vac, cause I love it
Just a question and I'm not trying to be sarcastic, is that drill made in China?
That's a legitimate question. I'll look and see and get back to you soon
@@ToolReviewZone Cool. I'm only asking because here in Greece they are not very popular and it looks very well made.
Milwaukee's fuel hammer drill beats this easily. I saw the side by side comparison with an auger bit and Milwaukee destroyed this. I have ridgid tools but.. oh boy Milwaukee tools.
Yeah Milwaukee is a beast
For the money I dont think Ridgid can be beaten. Sure maybe a nit pick here and there...but they never let me down. PS... are you from Pittsburgh???
They got some great tools and very innovative. And yeah I'm from Pittsburgh lol. Thanks for the comment Mike!
@@ToolReviewZone haha for sure... I made the guess... no one else sounds like us lololol
Haha true buddy. Moved to Ohio about five years ago, but I miss da burgh. Go stillers lol
Rigid desperately needs a band saw.
How mach price pakistani
would be nice to have run-out comparison to makita or milwaukee
what is the name of that song?
(Would) from Alice in chains
Sadly it is made in China so I won't be buying one to replace my 2yr old Makita LXT 18v also made in China!
You need to slow down your drilling in metal. Alls you’re doing is heating the bits up and making them dull
My offer of $4.53 and free shipping still stands
See' you had me until the free shipping 😂
Tool Review Zone fine I'll pay shipping
Lol' I knew you would cave !
I need one pice
Damnnnnnnn
#orangelove
Did I hear correctly 1300Lb feet of torque? I thought reports were coming in at 1500LB Ft?
Yes sir my dude. 1,300. I posted the specs in the description below right from the depot site, and matches up to the manual.
Haha' it's the industry leader as of now king!
@@kingofthecrease30 that dam ridgid brushless octane hammer drill has more power than my ryobi brushless hammer drill
Yeah buddy
Meh a little late to the game. But still good.
Better late than never Albert 👍
DO NOT BUY THIS TOOL. I purchased the $159 kit, (3 of them) there is a MAJOR defect with the clutch. I contacted TTI and they admitted that there was a LOT that was shipped out that are defective. I also purchased the new $379 kit and it to has the defective units. Disappointed.
Jim Pann don’t the tools come with a lifetime warranty just get yourself a new one
First coment first view first like
You da man Liberty!
I still like Milwaukee fuel better
#redlove
Milwaukee's Gen3 is a beast
