wonder how long it'll be before its available in Canada
Usually they go to Canada first. I bet they may have some in the back of your store already. Call and ask if they have any stached away
Not sure I would call it "all new", it is a fairly minor upgrade over the non Octane version.
Quite frankly I gotta admit I’m picking up the vibe that Ridgid is putting down lately!!
Lol, your words are like poetry bro haha
Haha
Been telling you guys for some time now.🤓🤟
Tell'em Tony! 💪💪👊
VCG Construction yeah Vince ridgid is picking up their game and in March the new octane circular saw comes out and heard a new octane impact driver is coming as well can’t wait till May 1 to pick up that octane multi tool!
Thanks for the review. I just bought this with the oscillating head and 2 batteries kit. Love it. Great for undercutting door casing, floor transitions etc. I bought a metal cutting head to cut some recessed bolts on a deck I was taking down. The plunge and flush cut blades that come with the kit are fine but only for wood, drywall or similar materials. The tool and head costs are minimal compared to the costs of blades and batteries. A single wood/drywall/metal 3.5” flush cut blade is $20.
Don’t forget to register your Ridgid tools and batteries to take advantage of their awesome warranty. There is a time limit from the purchase date.
Boom! Funny just last week after registering my new roto-zip head to complete my jobmax tool collection I sent a message asking about a brushless update to the jobmax. Very happy about this. Ridgid is taking over! Two years ago I replaced an aging Milwaukee 18v tool line with the ridgid brushless and a mix of octane in there I have been blown away. I'm an electrician and recommend ridgid to anyone in question. No one can touch the ridgid warranty and now the tools match if not out perform anything on the market. Another one out of the park by ridgid!
The OCTANE tools are awesome bro, and yeah the LSA is great. Thanks for the awesome comment
that tool is my best friend. the oscillator head (which is a sander, cutter, polisher etc by itself), rotary head, jigsaw head and sawzall head are my daily bread and butter. The multi tool, my impact driver, hammer drill, circ saw smash through 99 percent of my repairs. the ridgid shop vac is my secret weapon. The power is insane for a 4 gallon - power cord really long, wheels roll super good and sucks & blows like my ex old lady on a friday night. Also, the 50 dollar jobsite radio is pretty decent. Could be a little louder. Has bluetooth, takes ur drill batteries, has aux port and usb input. bluetooth can drain ur phone battery, so its nice to keep my phone plugged into the radio while bluetooth is connected. My next buys are ridgid dustbuster and that 4 1/2 angle grinder!! Beware of cordless grinders tho! theyll smoke batteries like i would a blunt. i bought a 9aH for those heavy hitters!! Great work as always bro! love ur vids.
I have this tool. Its terrific. I use the JobMax jig saw attachment often and look forward to purchasing the metal shear attachment in the near future. I use the 4.0 battery but might move forward on getting an Octane battery given the claim it will allow the tool to generate more power. Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment Michael !
Wish they would make a bandsaw for us tradespeople. We’ve switched over to Ridgid and couldn’t be happier just need to expand the line more like Milwaukee.
Completely agree. A bandsaw is badly needed. Ridgid needs to get one on the market ASAP

If enough people write in on their website they will consider it. Just wrote in.
I wish they made a nibbler for the job Max too.
Got it free with the $379 deal from Home Depot and brushless finally ridgid and octane even better I have most of their heads
Yeah bug deals going on bro
Tool Review Zone I took advantage they will sell out got the jigsaw multi tool circular saw and 6 mode impact driver had the others already I got a question about the impact wrench my 2017 impact wrench ridgid confirms those were always octane tool even though the batteries came out later on it’s the same model number on those! Do u think that impact wrench from 2017 is octane tool? Thanks great videos
I got a 12 volt one used, with the older oscillating attachment and I love it, but I think by the time you buy the power head, batterie(s), and attachments, it seems like you might as well just buy the actual tools. They'd probably work better and not be much more expensive depending on the brand.
this is the best multi tool on the market hands down.
If you can reach out to Ridgid tell them to bring back the autohammer and ratchet attachment for the jobmax also bring back the x4 vacuum but with octane technology. A PEX A expander head for the jobmax would also be really sweet.
They will probably read this, but I'll pass it along just incase pawnstor
@@ToolReviewZone thanks that would be great... can't wait to get this new jobmax the old 18v jobmax overheats but not the 12v that works like a champ... speaking of which RIDGID update your 12v line you have a loyal fanbase. Also does the new octane jobmax increase the power to the angle impact?
This is just a guess on my part, but I think they dropped the autohammer because of the vibration damaging the tool - particularly the Ryobi multitool which is a POS. As far as the ratchet, I think they dropped it because it is very low torque. You can often find either attachment on eBay.
The ratchet head is available intermittently, you just have to sign up for email notification. I just ordered one today.
Thanks for the update... just ordered one after reading your comment
Haven't seen this at Home Depot in Canada yet (Mid July 2019). My 12 Volt JobMax power handle is overheating with that wonderful electrical smell and it's just past the limited 3-year warranty. I have the regular and the high capacity battery and five different power heads. Went to a Toronto Home Depot yesterday and they informed me that they didn't have a RIDGID JobMax Multi Tool in the store - "It's been discontinued". They knew nothing about a redesigned "Octane Cordless" version.
This is a versatile and awesome tool that makes some of the tough jobs much easier and I love the RIDGID LSA warranty when it applies to their tools. Where can I get a replacement- FAST!
Love ridgid. Only problem is I want to get them all lol
Haha, yeah bro I have that same problem
Right there with you... the tool box is getting quite crowded!
I wish they make a pistol grip version and keep the rotating head ability.
Where are all the attachments
I just wish they offered a lock on off as well as the trigger.... sometimes I just need the tool to stay on.
They do on their jigsaw and a few other tools, but the only thing I can do on this is use the safety lock near the trigger to lock it
You shouldn't need, (or use), that disc shaped adapter for 90% of the blades. It's for blades that have a different hole pattern.
Totally agree with your two complaints.
Ridgid if you see this comment, can you make a left blade circular saw with octane power
They will probably see it, and I WANT ONE TOO!
How does this compare the gen4 jobmax?
This one is way more powerful
Great videos, just needed to how to pull blades on head , show me seconds how it works without reading the manual which without pictures I would be stretching my head
Awesome 👊👊
I can't seem to find any specs online. Even on Ridgid's website. It seems they're trying to create a bunch hype before releasing some numbers . I own the original 18v jobmax and love it. But, I need some facts and numbers before deciding to upgrade or not. So far, I'm not convinced.
I’m jealous I want that badly is it a big jump from the x4 model? If it’s a acabe tool is it brushless?
Yeah bro, definitely an upgrade
what does forward and reverse oscillation do?
Tested prototype! Way better then the original.
Not a prototype.
Tool Review Zone I tested the prototype
Ahhh. You liked it better? What was the difference between the two? Never tested a prototype before
@@ToolReviewZone yes it doesn't over heat like the pervious model.
@@Charlie-qd3qs nice, thanks for the info Charlie!
Have you compared this with the recip head to the new octane one hand recip saw? If not, would you possibly be able to?
I know the tech specs for both but a real world comparison would be great. Mainly thinking about using it for pruning limbs and small jobs since I have the full size octane recip already. The one hand saw has a longer stroke than the jobmax head but I wonder how much of a difference that 1/4” will actually matter in use. Of course, power comparison would be great too. I assume the standalone is also going to be noticeably more powerful.
I could try. I think the OCTANE recip will probably blow this out of the water though. I'll see what I can do
Great review.
Thanks Shawn !
Do you know when it will be in stores?
Can't wait til this hits home depot.. Do u no when ?
Not sure yet Josh, but I'll try to find out for you
Oh. And do u no what the ballpark price is?
Thanks bud
I'm am just guessing here (I could be way off) but probably in the $120-$130 area?
Josh Thompson May 1 I talk to ridgid
Will this model use the other heads like the jig saw, drill head, etc... that the 12v one used?
Yes
I have the gen4 of this tool? Any idea if this more powerful over the Gen 4? I know it has longer run time.
Yes way more powerful
Couldn’t get past the crappy music sorry
And now discontinued 😒
Hey I have a great idea, can you make the intro music obnoxiously load ? I always love when videos have that, just love to blow speakers.
This is not in Home Depot yet
Correct. It will be very soon
@@ToolReviewZone Do you know when? My x4 keeps dropping the battery.
Probably within a week or two Patrick
I love ridgid tools, but this specific tool sucks. It overheats so quick.
My only negativity toward the octane they never filled out the regular 18 tow line and they're just rehashing a lot of the same tools already yes I know they're supposed to be stronger better you know I'm going you take care take care of those little ones in your wife I I will catch you on your next one
Anyone who actually uses there to cut baseboard will tell you a trigger based model is crap period. The tools needs to be able to stay on.

Yeah buddy !
