Tool Review Zone I got confirmation from a representative at my local Home Depot of this product they had no answer when it was going to be release they did say that information was leaked so that's how that website had it but it will be released in the future www.protoolreviews.com/buying-guides/new-ridgid-tools/38555/
VCG Construction Vince check this product out Ridgid coming out with a drill driver hammer drill Gen 5 octane 1300 inch foot pounds of torque good God it's not out yet but I confirm from somebody I know at my Home Depot that is legit they're not sure when the product is going to get released it was supposed to get released this summer if there was some setbacks www.protoolreviews.com/buying-guides/new-ridgid-tools/38555/.
That was about 50x the review I expected. Nice work. I'm curious to see how well the tool holds up to long term use with debris in the main drive interface. Cement and sheetrock dust IS GOING to get in there if you change this on a job site, or if you store your tools outside of a medical clean room.
Lol, thanks bro ! Yeah I can see what you're saying about the dust. I would think they tested for that though? I'm going t put this against the Milwaukee super Sawzall next week!
If they ever come out with a drilling combo for this thing...(90 degree, straight with keyed chuck like the 90 degree and SDS) and keep it geared way down... I will totally buy this to save on my everyday Ridgid Octane drill!
Had one up hear in canada.I bought it but I cant buy those batteries(not available yet).It rattles a bit too. And no batteries in a kit are not LSA. So i returned it bacause to buy just a 5ah would cost in total more then a flexvolt recip. I bought the flexvolt.
Steven Carter i bought the mega max with the sawsall head like a month ago... there was a huge sale on the base and all the heads, but just like u i am in canada, so HD had no octane batteries... but i just ordered one off ebay, it's being shipped now. Can't wait to get it and try the megamax sawsall with the octane 6.0ah battery instead of my 4ah normal battery!!
TRZ undecided if I should get the other heads I got the power base with the Recip saw head is the sds and right angle drill worth it it’s $99 for the angle driver and $117 for the sds?
How durable is it and how long does the motor last? I know rigid has a good warranty too. I want to switch from Milwaukee to rigid because Milwaukee's price is stupid high and their tools are a little overrated.
The Bosch wood bit you are using of course you dont have to push down because it’s made for that purpose! It’s not the drill that is super powerful it’s the dot itself buddy. Lots of people I’ve known using this spaddle bits don’t know about that
Hmmmm, could be possible. I know that ridgid prides themselves on the same battery format for many years, but will be interested to see how things play out
Do any of the attachments use the special features button on the mega Max base? Also, what is the attachment rails purpose? Are they coming out with a dust collector attachment for the hammer drill? And 1 more thing.... The ad on the Canadian Ridgid says limited quantities for limited time and availability??? So have they discontinued this product already like they've done on some jobmax attachments??? Thx for the review!
Trz I will post a picture of the megamax when I get it on Instagram and I will post a picture of of the ridgid jobmax and all the heads I have for it on Instagram and trz I can't wait to see you do a review of the ridgid jobmax with the new metal cutter head
Too bad they discontinued it while lying to everyone saying they had no intention of doing such a thing. Thank good i didn't believe them. I am highly invested in ridgid tools and I am dismayed they would treat thier customers in this way. Shame on you ridgid.
Amazing how well this single tool with different attachments does each task so well!
Its really something Vince. The rotary hammer alone pays for itself buddy
VCG Construction do I see a challenge in the near future?
VCG Construction I bet norm is going to won't the ridgid megamax just like I am going to buy next month

That’s awesome! So much versatility.
Yeah Dan, and much cheaper than buying all the units separately bro
Those bosh bits are freaking awesome
i own ridgid cordless. first i heard of mega. thanks for review
You got it mario
This is a tool of all trade. Your vocal is so relaxing, a fatigue-free listening through the end, thus i will rate this review megamax
Haha, thanks Honda, you are awesome!
That was about 50x the review I expected. Nice work.

Tool Review Zone - Sweet, I'll wait to see it when it drops.
If they ever come out with a drilling combo for this thing...(90 degree, straight with keyed chuck like the 90 degree and SDS) and keep it geared way down... I will totally buy this to save on my everyday Ridgid Octane drill!
Very innovative tool right there.
Yeah it is James!
one tool does it all... 👍
EJM _Demon 👌
It does, and does it well buddy! 100 percent beast mode
mr somthinbasic215 👌
When ridgid going to make an 18v band saw
I haven't heard anything yet Aces, but I'll let you know if I do
I haven't heard anything yet Aces, but I'll let you know if I do
Now
That tool is a stud bro!Nice💪🏼🤘👍🏼
It's a mean machine Saul!
So is the sawzall attachment as good as the gen 4 or 5 stand alone sawzall?
Hey Moe. It's not only better than the 4 and 5, it's better that the new OCTANE recip as well
Cutting that 2” steel with sawzaw how many full cuts can the 9aH battery do?
Bosh wood paddle bits like that are self drilling bits which means you are not supposed to push what ever drill you are using... great tools btw
Right. I love these bits and have been using them for some time now.
If I'm not mistaken, would this be the least expensive Right Angle drill on the market, assuming you had the 18v batteries?
Absolutely. Way better than 2, 3 or even $400 for one.
Had one up hear in canada.I bought it but I cant buy those batteries(not available yet).It rattles a bit too. And no batteries in a kit are not LSA. So i returned it bacause to buy just a 5ah would cost in total more then a flexvolt recip. I bought the flexvolt.

What a great all-in-one tool. It did not seem loud at all.
Yeah not al all Eddie. Not to mention, it's fun as hell to use. Just hope my buddy David states of America like it 😁
Tool Review Zone 😂
TRZ undecided if I should get the other heads I got the power base with the Recip saw head is the sds and right angle drill worth it it’s $99 for the angle driver and $117 for the sds?
If you already have the base, it would definitely be cheaper than buying the independent tools bro. Guess it depends on how much you will use them
I wish we could see the right angle drill on a 4" maybe a 6" hole saw and see how it does 3/4 i can already do with my impact 😒
Is the octane sawzall and the other mega Max sawzall are they the same RPMs?? Please help
No the MEGAMax is not as powerful as the recip saw only
I. Got. To have. It. two of those tools are good to have definitely for me.
Does the hammer drill and angle drill have reverse?
Sure does Kent
How durable is it and how long does the motor last? I know rigid has a good warranty too. I want to switch from Milwaukee to rigid because Milwaukee's price is stupid high and their tools are a little overrated.
Its awesome. I used it the other day to mix a lot of concrete. Its tough as hell and it also has a lifetime warranty. Batteries do too, can't go wrong
Would love to see an 8" worm Drive with saw headfirst it
That would be awesome!
Good stuff man.
Thanks Kasey!
The Bosch wood bit you are using of course you dont have to push down because it’s made for that purpose! It’s not the drill that is super powerful it’s the dot itself buddy. Lots of people I’ve known using this spaddle bits don’t know about that
im scared to invest in any more 18v stuff because I feel like a voltage change is probably coming soon
Hmmmm, could be possible. I know that ridgid prides themselves on the same battery format for many years, but will be interested to see how things play out
how smooth is smooth?
So smooooooooth
That's so cool
Beastly Joey!
When will this be released?
Looks like you came order them on the depot site now. I put the links below
Transformer transitions, yeah
oh man thats nice

Chisel
try that with a diablo blade
Very good review but that drill head looks something like a Milwaukee
Yeah Marvin, just like the hole hog bud
It is Milwaukee . Google the company .
Same umbrella company. Notice the names fuel and octane lol. Milwaukee is good but I'm looking to swap to octane.
I got to get one for renaissanceman 😂🤣
Bring him to the dark side Carlos! Even Ren would be in awww of this Mega Beast
They should have made a worm drive circular saw head
I'm hoping Makita comes out with one like that but with 20 attachments. Peace brother
I haven't heard anything yet Makita, but would be cool. They would need to may it the 36v though
Man i just want the battery lol😤
This fucking thing is so cool!
Lol yeah it is Matt!
Trz I will post a picture of the megamax when I get it on Instagram and I will post a picture of of the ridgid jobmax and all the heads I have for it on Instagram and trz I can't wait to see you do a review of the ridgid jobmax with the new metal cutter head
Yeah buddy, I just need to get the jobmax first lol
Terrible job cutting thru the 2” tubing. The blade not the saw. That blade was toast!
probably not a good idea to test drilling a concrete block over earth like that. A lot of the percussive force will be absorbed by it.
Very good point N1. There is actually a lot of rock in that area so it seemed ok
Fair enough, didn't look like it mattered too much anyway as it chewed through it!
Yeah, was quick N1!
Really? Try a 4" forsner bit.
Too bad they discontinued it while lying to everyone saying they had no intention of doing such a thing. Thank good i didn't believe them. I am highly invested in ridgid tools and I am dismayed they would treat thier customers in this way. Shame on you ridgid.
👍
Yo ocupo un equipo de eso
I need on pice
My goodness , *Ridgid* is finally transforming with their tools,,,,,this thing makes my m18 & dewalt flexvolt look shameful yikes!
