    I went to Ridgid's 24v platform in early 2007. First job was a high 2 storey deck, 16' off the ground and 12' d x 30' w. Never had any issues, everything worked as advertised. Fast forward to 2020, I now have both the 12v and 18v platforms. Plus the rolling tool storage system.
    The lifetime warranty? Have no issues whatsoever. I have had 24v and 12v batteries replaced, turnaround, 2 days. They rebuilt and upgraded the 24v hammer drill, 2 week turnaround and again all under warranty. I have an authorized Ridgid warranty shop in town and have never had any issues. My first battery that went, I went back to HD. Huge mistake, warranty denied. Took same battery into repair shop? Had a new one 2 days later. I have the 12" compound mitre saw with rolling platform, numerous shop vacs, a handheld vac, couple of radios and stuff I've forgotten. Shop is black and orange and will stay that way.

    Your very 1st test sample shows cut n edit, screws in different location (4:14) just out of curiosity. Looks like Rigid settings was changed based on light position (4:07), don't know what it suppose to be for max torque and speed as I don't have one.
    Milkw@kee is nice but on the pricier side, Rigid has lifetime warranty when bought from an authorize seller and you must register the tool/battery in the alloted time.
    Rigid has a more ergonomic fit for smaller grips when holding tool that I like compared to Milwaukee.
    I feel one should not base performance solely just on speed to get the best out of it. All should be consider; price, warranty, rpm, ipm, torque, dimensions, battery type, weight, availability of tools, etc.
    Other than that, it was fun.

      Well when you take into consideration that the Milwaukee in this video was faster at driving a screw or bolt in yes it does matter. If for example you're building a deck you're going to be finished much sooner. For every screw the Rigid drilled in he could have been on or finished with the second with the Milwaukee. It's about efficiency.

  • @TheMainsource01
    @TheMainsource01 4 роки тому +2

    I just started getting into tools a little over 9 months now. I started from scratch. I’m in the constant plumbing business so tools are an essential piece of my line of work. Anyway I didn’t have any tools whatsoever when I mean I started from scratch I mean I started from scratch from a screwdriver and channel locks 😂. And everyone started telling me once you start buying your tools Dewalt and Milwaukee is the way to go. Anyway one of the guys that I used to work with gave me my first impact Ridgid drill. The was my first piece of “real tool” that I own so I stocked with it next I bought my sawzall and I decided to get ridgid because I was in a budget and I got a real good deal for a brand new sawzall and a battery. Anyway my impact drill was given to me and it locked like it was put threw hell and not including the work I have put in it. All my buddies majority own Milwaukee and I can tell the difference not so much in power but in speed and size. But Ridgid has never failed me. I have put my sawzall and drill to work full 8 hours a day and they are still going strong. So it all depends on the person. Like I said the most difference I have seen is that Milwaukee has faster and more compact tools vs Ridgid but Ridgid will give a run for its money.

    I cheaped out and got on the Octane platform, It's good for price and lifetime warranty but obviously can't compare to Milwaukee products. I'm so heavily invested to make the switch would cost big bucks! I still feel Ridgid is pretty good and innovative with their designs, I love the portable table saw, multi tool, shop vac, jigsaw, 7 1/4 circ saw, trim router, 18 guage trim nailer, saw-zall. All have been flawless and i use all these tools on a daily basis to the max. If I had to drive in a shitload of Timberlocs I would probably purchase a Milwaukee Impact just for the speed.

And considering a company like Milwaukee can make a big battery like that for under 20 dollars so they then mark them up 200 percent!!!!

      It absolutely has to do with rpm(Gearing) If both can drive the lag down without shutting down then the one with higher rpm will win. Now push both till they cannot drive any deeper and the one that is geared lower or more powerful will win. All things have to be equal to determine which has more power.

      @@mattboyd5024 what? that is completely false, rpms in fact play a role in power when a machine requires revolutions to generate power.. That's a horrible comparison and way off topic considering the fact of weight ration to torque and power etc. So generally speaking the bike can put out more power than your diesel since it doesn't have to over work or compensate itself to reach it's target "power". low numbers doesn't generally mean less power.

    Milwaukee is one the top construction grade brands, and next step up are premium brands like Hilti and Festool.
    Ridgid is a mid-grade tool, somewhere between home owner grade tools like Ryobi/Porter Cable and construction grade like DeWalt/Milwaukee.
    Milwaukee's value is in their power, performance, and reliably. You pay more for Milwaukee, but you're getting a better product.
    Ridgid's value is their "bang for your buck" especially when you get their kits when on sale. Right now for about $560 you can get 5 of their Octane tools, 4 octane batteries, and 2 chargers.
    Similar Milwaukee kits are on sale for about $700 and only has 2 batteries and 1 charger.

    More torque doesn't necessarily mean the ridgid is going to be faster.

Also had an early failure on a dewalt nail gun but we were shooting finishing nails into concrete, which it actually did for a thousand nails or so 😂 bent the nail rat which i replaced for 15 dollars.

  • @xVidmaster117x
    @xVidmaster117x 2 роки тому +1

    Both are great tools. Milwaukee is more prone to snapping off bolts if your using something like a 1/4 inch tapcon going into concrete. It also is prone to splitting finish wood if your not super careful. Yes it puts the screws in quicker and can do something's the ridgid can't but it seems if your a diy er or work with smaller screws/drywal or thin plywood the ridgid is the way to go. The ridgid is a little weaker and can't do all the Milwaukee can but if you don't need the extra power having it can split your wood, or strip your screws in less than a second between getting it all the way in and then stripping it. Milwaukee is great if your a mechanic trying to losen bolts in tight spaces or work with framing or concrete with slightly larger bolts. Yeah you can turn down the power to 2 on the Milwaukee but it just isn't quite as powerful as the ridgid which is like a 2 1/3 on a Milwaukee and surprisingly that extra little bit makes the ridgid do things that the Milwaukee will not on a 2 and the ridgid not strip things out as easily as a Milwaukee on setting 3. If they could tune the Milwaukee or give it 4 settings that would be perfect.
