Very thorough test, ranking system, professional input and verbal presentation. Thank you very much for an excellent review. I own the Ryobi and the operations manual says not to let the tool rest when it overheats, but without any load on the tool simply run it at high speed. It quickly cools the tool down and is ready for reuse within 30 seconds. I don't know if you guys miss that or not, but something that I thought should be mentioned. Thanks again guys for a great review!
I don't remember which head-to-head you did this but in one of your videos you mentioned which tool the crew preferred to pick up and use for themselves. I found that very useful. In the future, I would be very interested to hear which tool the crew wanted to use after all the testing was done. Just their gut reaction. Great video, thanks for doing all the leg work!
Not sure why this channel doesn't get more attention/views/subs? I also like and follow project farm, who has over 2 million subscribers, but what I like about this channel is that you test tools in real situations with real tradesmen.
Just replaced my Milwaukee with this new gen and I love it. But wow, the Ryobi is SERIOSULY impressive, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it at all were I not invested in other platforms. Now I can't wait to see the Makita 40v impact wrench.
I have had the rigid for years. It would go on sale for 180 with kit back in the pre covid days. It never seizes to amaze me. Can't imagine the ryobis performance
@@ConcordCarpenter I wasn't saying that because of the battery ah. It's just that every time I watch these head to heads I'm anxious to see where Ryobi ranks and it finally made it. I'd love to see a updated head to head with the the 18v impact drivers and hammer drills. I'm sure that there's alot out there that would really appreciate it to. Thanks Again for your dedication and hard work
As a contractor, the most important part about any tool is reliability. I understand that it's not something easy to include in these tests, but to me, it doesn't matter how good Ryobi can be if it doesn't last long enough. I'll stick to Dewalt, Makita and Milwaukee for now.
I use my DeWalt mid range to install around 400 5" by 1/2" concrete anchors a week. I've had it over a year with no issues. Not as powerful as others but I'm on the DeWalt platform, I'm happy with it.
This test is not representative of the dcf894. It makes 0 sense how it’s breakaway torque is LESS than other channels fastening torque by 50 to 120 ft lbs. Utter nonsense.
I actually got that ryobi gun a year ago and everyone that knew i got it thought i was a waste of money untill they actually saw me use it now they all want one lol
Rob is the man. We all can learn from his professionalism and the research that the team puts into make test and getting a better understanding of what tool may be vast for you
Im no genius, but i chose makita when lithium batteries first came out, and every makita tool i ever bought still works, and nearly every battery, and im talking like 20 years ago when lxt 18v first came out. I have had to buy new brushes a few times. I have upgraded to brushless for most just for the extra efficiency and power, but the originals still work.
This test is begging for a redo with the Makita 40v, the new Dewalt 892 that makes high torque power, and the Metabo HPT 36v mid torque. This test is only 6 months old, but it's missing the three best mid torques on the market. You guys do the best testing on TH-cam. Please consider a redo with the relevant big dogs entering the game.
I just got the Ryobi on black Friday sale. I don't see a difference between the beans from this beast or Milwaukee. Time will tell but this is a great impact wrench.
After watching this review it's THE tool I will recommend to home owners/diy. They're so competitive it's almost like they're being poised to replace Ridgid one day, since Ridgid nerfed their batteries and will be nerfing their mid torque impact for their next "refresh" which will no longer be an octane. Looks like Ridgid is aiming downhill to be less competitive against the big red or something.
You should’ve used the 40v Makita mid torque. According to torque test channel, this one made quite a bit more power. It does advertise 560 ft lbs tightening which is over your limit, and is pretty expensive. However this might not have been out when filming
I love my Makita mid-toque power and features. I wouldn't buy a Ryobi after seeing that you nearly killed it. Big concerns about the reliability... Tools acting up like this should be penalized in your scoring. Milwaukee should be 2nd and in front of Ryobi according to me. But it's a great review as usual Rob, keep up the good work! I like your scientific approach to your tools reviews and all the details you include in them!
Good point, I don't know how I didn't notice since I exclusively use the 3ah HO on mine since it's always quick stuff. I personally can't wait for Makita's 40v comparison.
Fun fact: The DeWalt dcf 894 Gains an extra 70 fastening ft lbs by switching to 6 ah battery. But…. Doesn’t matter dcf891 rated at 612 ft lbs. will be coming out soon and be the strongest “mid torque” on the market.
@@brettwalkom948 It’s 570 fastening for the mid torque 40v Makita. Is that more powerful than the dcf894 mid torque? Yes ofc. But leaked rumors suggest the about to released DeWalt mid torque will boast 612 ft lbs fastening. Note I’m talking about fastening torque not torque busting which is what you quoted.
I feel that you went out of your way to demonstrate real world use tests and how practical those tests were to a DIYer. I don't want to present anything negative, however I feel that the Ridgid Octane should have been tested with a 3Ah Octane battery, since it was engineered to use that battery specific. I am considering this Ridgid Octane mid impact wrench but have learned that the Octane line, designed specifically for the Octane battery, is how I need to see it used, to properly judge it's performance against these other company's tools
@@prototype3a I saw the video and ttc doesnt even have the latest bosch freak model, they were using the Gdx18v-1800c for their test, the brand new one is the Gdx18v-1860C... power and speed wise, bosch can't compete, and they are not trying to, That's zee Germans for you... but their built quality and longevity is far superior imo to each their own tho. i wadls talking about the Bosch GDS18V-740N
@@prototype3a i have all of their impact models and the two latest models completely outperform the first gen freak. To date.. there are only 3 generations of the freak. so i don't know which model you talking about. thw first one is hella weak the one currently at lowes and th brqnd new one have over 1800 inch/pd of torque, so don't know, seems pretty good for me. you can break 150ft/pds easily, even on 20mm nuts. I do agree its hella slow tho. but its perfect for construction and putting together scaffolding.
@@mydadstoolboxz Did you see the video where the Freaks make MORE torque when a 1/4" hex to 1/2" square adapter is used instead of putting the socket directly on the tool?
I've got that Ryobi impact wrench HP brushless American versions it's amazing with the 9AMP BATTERY only not worth using batteries that's low it will show low RESULTS 🔥😎👍
I have the rigid Gen. 5 and I keep it in my car to do my tires cause I don't tired of being on the side of the road It helps speed my time on the side very important told to keep one in your car 👍🏻🍻🍺🎄🎁
I've had the DeWalt mid torque with the detent pin for a couple of years, only had 1 bolt I couldn't take off, over torqued zero turn mower blade, but other than that I've had no issues with it
I might have missed it but were batteries taken into consideration for the test as well? As in the high output compared to the standards? Or was it only kept to a base minimum standard battery so all brands could compare with the same cells?
Great review Rob! Can anyone explain the difference between the Makita XWT18Z and XWT18XVZ ? They seem to have the same stats but the XVZ costs quite a bit more...
@@dank6084 Oh yeah you're right! For Makita de Z is always the bare tool, but I'm looking at their website and I can't find the difference with the XV one. That's wierd!
Also how are you getting 310 ft lbs. breakaway for the DeWalts when shop Tool reviews are getting 450? 🤔 And torque test channel got 320 And 360 (with the weak 5ah battery.) reverse fastening?
I really liked all of the tests but why didnt you use octane battery for the ridgid octane tools? For example you used the xr batteries for the dewalt xr and red lithium for the milwaukee fuel? Might as well try to keep it fair and use the proper equipment
People who don't own Ryobi think Ryobi is crap. But people who own Ryobi know some things are meh, some just okay, and some are great, like their HP line.
Very good test, like everytime. I was suprised about the bad performance from the dewalt. Maybe there is a small difference between the tools from usa and europe ?! I have the DCF894. i think i should do a speed test 😁
I appreciate and thank you for doing this test,based on using other RYOBI tools and their customer service which also SUCKS ... I don't care about it .I would do Bosch,Makita or a Great brand called HILTI !
Wow! As the severity of your testing shows, you guys take this stuff pretty seriously. These tests are extreme (by my standards). I suppose the lowest scoring tool in this test would do exceptionally well for the average user and that reliability, price and warranty would take precedence over power and capability in my case. Any idea where the Flex might rank here?
Thanks for t great info on all of these Impact. as an auto tech smaller n more power is a must in my line of work. I would say makita is t way to go never had issues with all my makitas but wonder why u didnt include t Ingersoll Rand mid torque. That thing is just as good as Makita and Milwaukee.
For future videos, I would love to see when ties occur, a vote among your staff to see who takes first. Just let us know it was a tie and who won the vote. Can attribute it as 1 with a *
Really enjoy your thoroughness and the considered range of applications in your tests. Can you please test the new ridgid brushless hammerdrill snd impact with the new maxoutput batteries? I don't think anyone has properly tesed these yet
Back in the day those massive, ugly, odd shaped brushed heads were so awesome. Now it's just odd to see. I bleed red but I'll choose the mikta mid AND high torque all day. But close to as happy with miluakees little powerhouse.
You're prolly going to have to do this video again in a few months, DeWalt is rumoured to have a new mid torque and metabo hpt has a new mid torque, Makita has a 40v but the price is too high
I previously owned the DeWalt DCF894 and grew to strongly dislike using it due to the cheap feeling and poorly positioned forward/reverse switch. It has almost no resistance or detent keeping it in position, and it's very easy to knock out of position when picking up and handling the tool, especially when wearing gloves. I sold my DCF894 and bought the Milwaukee 2962, which was leagues better than the DeWalt.
Some of the impacts aren't mid-torque...it is the brand's top-of-the-line high-torque.. they just don't have high torque numbers like some of the other brands...but they're not mid-torque... they are that brands high-torque going against other brands mid-torque... And my opinion if you don't use and impact often the Ridgid mid-torque is great when you consider the price and performance you get...and how often you need to use it...☝️ I also wanted to add that you used the last generation Ridgid octane they have a newer mid-torque and newer high-torque..but you did use the new battery ...but not an Octane battery on an Octane tool...🤔..hmmmm
It's too bad Ridgid is doing away with their Octane line. Torque Test Channel has their high torque as the most powerful 1/2 anvil wrench, beating Milwaukee. TTI must've said can't do that and shut them down.
I just got burned with Ryobi too many times in the past and it's hard for me to trust that brand. That being said if I was invested in that platform I would buy it over the other brands after watching this. Let's be honest 600 ft/lbs is a lot of torque. My truck maybe needs 150ft/lbs for the wheel nuts it might be closer to 120... I'm just saying chances are you won't need 600 ever but Ryobi does it. I'm invested in Makita and Ridgid. I'm probably going to get the Ridgid.
The Milwaukee is not running the right battery for the tool. It’s a FUEL and needs to be running a 6AH or greater because with the fuel technology, it can pull more power from high demand batteries. The regular batteries aren’t meant for FUEL tech tools
Maybe it’s just me but the Craftsman, Metabo and Porter cable were all brushed. And almost all the others were brushless and idk if that’s a fair comparison.
@@TrueRainsie funny you went straight to Dewalt when clearly it’s the Porter Cable that’s barely alive as a company and the red painted Porter Cable known as 1st Gen Lowes Craftsman, instead of using the newer one which is a red painted Dewalt. I guess Dewalt lives rent free in your head?
@@TrueRainsie dewalt doesn’t need to make a new generation of tools every year like Milwaukee. What they make is great the first time and lasts years …it took Milwaukee 3 generations to finally beat the dewalt impact driver and big boy torque wrench and drill …. Dewalt is a leader in innovation and durability

My experience with Ryobi in general stops me from considering it. Most of their power tools I owned from them ended up not preforming the way I wanted
I've had no issue with my ryobi tools and I've had them for over a decade working on automotive and in recent years home renovations.
Only problem I've had with ryobi is that the saws suck in general and the batteries and chargers are the drunkest thing I've ever seen
Makita, for reliability and comfort/balance. I’ve seen way too many dewalt Failures and many Milwaukee but not as many.
I use my DeWalt mid range to install around 400 5" by 1/2" concrete anchors a week. I've had it over a year with no issues. Not as powerful as others but I'm on the DeWalt platform, I'm happy with it.

Great and comprehensive review as usual.
Appreciate these vids, lucky I can decern most of the advice, when critiquing softly, the inferior brands, Makita's my investment.
Got the 921b, perfect universal wrench that can also be used as a driver, and can “unscrew” anything on the car/light truck/suv

Can you please test the new ridgid brushless hammerdrill snd impact with the new maxoutput batteries? I don't think anyone has properly tesed these yet
Why didn't you use a High Output battery with the Milwaukee?
To stay consistent with the others
I have the Ryobi ~ Best bang for the buck!
Back in the day those massive, ugly, odd shaped brushed heads were so awesome. Now it's just odd to see. I bleed red but I'll choose the mikta mid AND high torque all day. But close to as happy with miluakees little powerhouse.
There's a new dewalt mid torque coming out soon , I own the porter cable and dewalt mid torque the dewalt definitely more powerful its not even close
Exciting news!!
Exciting news!!
Is it the atomic??
Milwaukee 💪🏽
You're prolly going to have to do this video again in a few months, DeWalt is rumoured to have a new mid torque and metabo hpt has a new mid torque, Makita has a 40v but the price is too high
It's coming, Just not sure the date lol
I previously owned the DeWalt DCF894 and grew to strongly dislike using it due to the cheap feeling and poorly positioned forward/reverse switch. It has almost no resistance or detent keeping it in position, and it's very easy to knock out of position when picking up and handling the tool, especially when wearing gloves. I sold my DCF894 and bought the Milwaukee 2962, which was leagues better than the DeWalt.
Some of the impacts aren't mid-torque...it is the brand's top-of-the-line high-torque.. they just don't have high torque numbers like some of the other brands...but they're not mid-torque... they are that brands high-torque going against other brands mid-torque...
And my opinion if you don't use and impact often the Ridgid mid-torque is great when you consider the price and performance you get...and how often you need to use it...☝️
I also wanted to add that you used the last generation Ridgid octane they have a newer mid-torque and newer high-torque..but you did use the new battery ...but not an Octane battery on an Octane tool...🤔..hmmmm
People always use 6 point sockets 12 point sockets should be outlawed
It's too bad Ridgid is doing away with their Octane line. Torque Test Channel has their high torque as the most powerful 1/2 anvil wrench, beating Milwaukee. TTI must've said can't do that and shut them down.
I just got burned with Ryobi too many times in the past and it's hard for me to trust that brand.
That being said if I was invested in that platform I would buy it over the other brands after watching this. Let's be honest 600 ft/lbs is a lot of torque. My truck maybe needs 150ft/lbs for the wheel nuts it might be closer to 120... I'm just saying chances are you won't need 600 ever but Ryobi does it.
I'm invested in Makita and Ridgid. I'm probably going to get the Ridgid.
Agreed 600 ft/lbs is alot
Yes sir !! RYOBI!!
The Milwaukee is not running the right battery for the tool. It’s a FUEL and needs to be running a 6AH or greater because with the fuel technology, it can pull more power from high demand batteries. The regular batteries aren’t meant for FUEL tech tools
Why not use a HC battery on the Milwaukee, there is a noticeable power difference!
Maybe it’s just me but the Craftsman, Metabo and Porter cable were all brushed. And almost all the others were brushless and idk if that’s a fair comparison.
This is a weird mix of new and old as hell models.
Who but Dewalt is to blame that Dewalt doesn't release anything new for years now?
@@TrueRainsie funny you went straight to Dewalt when clearly it’s the Porter Cable that’s barely alive as a company and the red painted Porter Cable known as 1st Gen Lowes Craftsman, instead of using the newer one which is a red painted Dewalt. I guess Dewalt lives rent free in your head?
@@kdc300z I just happen to use those. This is the first time I've actually heard about Porter Cable, they don't sell this brand where I'm from.
@@TrueRainsie dewalt doesn’t need to make a new generation of tools every year like Milwaukee. What they make is great the first time and lasts years …it took Milwaukee 3 generations to finally beat the dewalt impact driver and big boy torque wrench and drill ….
Dewalt is a leader in innovation and durability
Ridgid is my line
@@saigashooter love my ridgid LSA hasn’t let me down
You do realize craftsman and the porter cable are the same tool just a different color
Yes sir same company and shared technology
You know it and still put the same tools in this video?
What is your intention or purpose?
How can a tool win first place if it stopped working? Its just a sign of whats to come
