    Another great show. Yeah would definitely be willing to start using rigid again . Only problem is that all my tools are milwaukee. And like many others I'm sold to that platform. . This whole platform thing has everybody on lock. Hard to break out now. You should do a show on platform management ha ha. Hey be nice feed Vince just don't feed him passed midnight.

Unless you need a specialty tool like a rotary hammer, that seems a pretty good kit to start off with in my non expert opinion.

    Being in the Ridgid line I hope the best for the future of these products. But if you go check torque test channel you can see the 3ah octane battery outperform a new 4ah max output on the 1/2 inch High torque impact wrench. The octane providing 791 lb-ft and the max output sitting at 756 lb-ft. (The tool itself being a monster). That being said the new 8ah max output is supposed to have 21700 cells. So hopefully they will be an upgrade in performance.

      I don't think Ridgid had any choice on removing the Octane batteries they were sued by Milwaukee over the Octane batteries. If it all seems weird it is because Ridgid you see being made at the TTI factory, but they are owned by Emerson not TTI. That factory is the same one that makes Ryobi as far as I know which is owned by TTI. Milwaukee is owned by TTI but engineering development is at a location near Milwaukee as far as I know. So there may have been issues with the Bluetooth on the Octane batteries but from what I read Milwaukee sued so they had to work around the patents. So afterwards Ridgid gets stuck with less powerful tech it seems on the batteries. It seems likes it's just two more connectors to sense and feed more power.

    • @jacksmith2315
      @jacksmith2315 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The 3ah octane has 21700 cells as well. Prob why it outperforms the max output 4ah. That beind said, it was very stupid for ridgid to drop the octane line. I know they had issues with the bluetooth, so they should have just went away with the bluetooth but kept everything else the same. Octane was their best line of tools and batteries. Very stupid they dropped it. The steathforce didnt last long either. Not sure if it was any good or not. They just cant seem to stick with something for more than a couple years, if that. Jobmax was great too. Another thing that was stupid to discontinue. Im in the ridgid line, but im going to be switching out when i have to replace or buy new tools. Sucks cause i like pretty much all their tools except drills and recips, always have problems with those two. I just dont feel confident in the future of the company to stick with them. Ill prob switch to makita or metabo htp.

    • @lesswatt
      @lesswatt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Milwaukee started sending legal notices some time after Octane batteries came out that Ridgid was infringing on battery technology patents and then they sued Milwaukee. I'm sure this had more to do with dropping Octane batteries than the Bluetooth issue but I maybe wrong.

    I sold alot of my contracter grade tools when my mom got sick to take care of her and bought a ryobie set back in the day just to hav somthing to fix stuff around her house b4 she past and I really liked ryobies old school cordless trim saw for small projects I think it was maybe a 5 & a half inch blade it was small easy to use and light I used it alot . I really used it alot to cut up branches to fill my grill and for small projects Something in ridged like this would be great , I just got the cordless ridged skill saw and it's great ... I just bought 4 of there 2peace drill impact driver kits for ridged couldn't beat the price point and price on battery's this holiday season with ridged plus I bought xtra 2 packs of 4 mah battery's the chuck on the heads of the ridged drills are a plastic material though my old makita set had rubber grip the difference when I go to tighten the chuck after putting a bit in it the plastic givs u a light friction burn 🔥 my old makitas I never had the problem there was no excess spin when tightening the chuck when changing out bits because it grabbed ur had better and stopped when it was tight .. that's the only desighn flaw I found with the new ridged drills which causes some times the chuck not to be fully tightend enough and my bit falls out occasionally due to I hurt my hand trying to close it properly so now I just where a glove on 1 hand to stop this problem ..

      I would like there to not be any more new battery platforms invented for a good long while, unless they are some kind of brand neutral open standard. It's mostly all TTI, they're very good at what they do, adding any more lines just reduces the odds that any new tool you want is on whatever platform you use.

  • @floobertuber
    @floobertuber 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Here's my humble opinion that exactly nobody has asked for:
    1. Gen5x: The Gen5x tools were very good for their time. Switching from the older 14.4 NiMH batteries in their older tools to using Li-Ion was a genuinely positive step forward for me.
    2. Octane: On the whole, these were very, VERY good... and were priced appropriately. Although some of the tools were a little on the large side, the ones I've used are quite powerful. Arguably, the Octane 9Ah and 6Ah maybe should've gotten 21700 cells. The 3Ah had those cells, and was a very nice balance of power delivery and weight. But the Bluetooth battery features were pretty much useless (at least for me). RIP, Octane era!
    3. The current stuff....? Ehhhh ... 👀 ... The jury is out, but I do think this latest head-to-head is a good sign, regarding performance of the tools themselves. Not real happy about the deleted features like the dedicated handle light-switches, but it is what it is. I'm not so sure about those batteries, though. Time will tell.

    I own only the 7 1/4 miter saw and I love what it is and how it performs. To be it is the best bang for the buck out there if you’re not married to tools. If they were to impress me is to drop many tools for a trade like Milwaukee. For instance I think one of the best things they could do given the power of their 6 1/2 saw is to have a framing saw like a blade left worm style saw that is battery. Seems like a reasonable move when I think they could make all matters of battery powered nailers with guides/rulers and lights from metal connectors or roofing. Make rough framers happy. I am a Home Depot shopper and most people in there especially California is adding on things that need studs, joists, and rafters. Make framing great again!!!

    I just bought into the whole Octane lineup this year and only after I was through most of my purchases I learned that Octane was going out the door, along with the jobmax system. I think it's kinda fortunate I got before it was discontinued as to me the whole new lineup looks like a downgrade and I'll probably be buying whatever misc. GEN5X stuff I don't have before all the new stuff comes in next year. The only thing I like are the new chargers and nailers (even though I'll probably be buying pneumatic ones instead of the battery powered models).

    I’m a woodworker and I wish Ridgid had two cordless tools that are glaringly missing from their line up. A 23Ga pin nailer and a stapler. Especially the stapler which is is obviously a more universal tool that Milwaukee already has developed. There is one tool by Ridgid that is super useful but needs design improvement and that’s their palm router. Jonathan Katz Moses covered the issues in his palm router video and basically the router doesn’t stand up to other products in this category.

    well i use bosch because they fit my hand better when i bought them. the thing is they all still work 25+ years later. i just had to get 4 batteries for my 24 ni-cad tools because i killed all of mine. the 10" miter saw works great again. i do have an 18V lion set of drill and impac for work ( boilers and chillers ) but i don't see get more till i break stuff.
    have things improved over the years? of course they have. is brushless better in most ways? yes , but then again how often do you wear out a brush on a motor and is the improvements worth the cost? brushes, 2 times once on a pump motor that runs 24/7 and on my dads drill, never on a tool i bought. with what i do no they are not worth the price. there isn't room for power tools in some spaces and others none of them have to power to remove a steam damaged bolt.

    Ridgid is a much better line than a lot of people give it credit for. These are absolutely contractor grade tools. I use them every day on the job and they are strong, durable and reliable. I absolutely place them above Dewalt, but below Milwaukee. Dewalt is literally living on it's reputation from 20 years ago, IMHO. I think some people have resentment toward big box stores and write off Ridgid because they associate it as the Home Depot house brand, like it's their Craftsman or Kobalt. It most certainly is not. Ryobi fits that mold, not Ridgid.
