what's up everybody and welcome to today's edition up Tool Duel! we're gonna post
all the specs in the cool features of each tool but I want to know in the
comment section below which tool do you like the best
which one has the coolest feature and what would you change I want you all to
decide the winner between the two of these points
how would that being said let's take a look at the two tools that will be
competing in the tool duel so today we're looking at the Dee Walt 8 8 7
versus the Ridgid brand-new octane impact they're both quarter inch now we
just did a tool duel between the rigid and the makita impacts and I told you
whoever wins between those two will go up against a Dee Walt but it was so
close I figured you know what let's just put both of them up against the Dee Walt
so later on in a few days we will have the makita up against the wall and let's
check these two out they're going head-to-head honest with you I was
really surprised with how this actually turned out in my opinion but I want to
know what you guys think so leave a comment in the comment section below
let me know who you think wins this out of the two don't forget to subscribe
don't forget to like let's get it started let's take a look at the D Walt
first now the D Walt is a little older school then the rigid octane Richard
octane just came out a couple months ago we were the first to have the review but
you can see they're both pretty similar in size you're looking at weight on the
d wall two point six five pounds that's without the battery of course the
battery is 6.0 20 volt while running in the octane is the 18 bull and it's also
the 6.0 2250 rpm on the d wall for the bumps per minute you're looking at 3,800
and inch pounds you're looking at 1825 say the powerful impact
for warranty on the DeWalt you're looking at a three year limited warranty
one year free service contract at a 90 day money back guarantee now we'll drive
flags and screws with both of these impacts but as far as it goes with the
LED lights both of them pretty much the same on the DeWalt you've got a softer
yellow light you've got three of them right up on the head you pull the
trigger and they turn on the build on this tool
very well done feels pretty balanced it's a little bit heavy on the lower end
with that 6.0 battery and all it does feel pretty nice as far as it goes with
the hex up here the one thing that this does not have is on the rigid you can
pull that hex out it'll stay out until you put your bit in this you have to
pull out put the bit in and then it will close the three different speed
adjustments at the one you got the two and the three pretty simple pretty basic
ones your low-speed twos your medium speed threes your high speed not rocket
science and pretty easy to understand forgot to mention you do get a belt clip
with this not the bit holder in the back now we review videos we don't add the
price I usually don't because prices change but for the tool tools I do 129
dollars for the bear tool it is rush less now let's take a look at the rigid
octane the brand-new rigid octane it just came out a couple months ago this
is also brushless it does run off of the octane smart battery as far as goes to
the hex what I like about this is that you can pull it out you don't have to
worry about pulling out when slide that bit in it'll close up pull it
out again is ready for another one so that's nice
now as for price on this you're looking at $129 weight on it to 0.85 pounds a
little bit bigger than the DeWalt you also got the three led right there in
the front what's nice about this and pull the trigger they'll light up but it
also has a dedicated light button right here and just like the wall really nice
build on it or the tork inch pounce you're looking at 2,400 you get your
basic lock reverse four button right here that's for the RPM on this you're
looking at 2900 and as for 2 blows per minute you're looking at 3500 now what
this does have the d walt doesn't is well you've got the digital push buttons
right here right you've got a couple different modes you got the lag you got
the screw and you've got the auto mode which works really well and you also got
three different speeds so really you got six different options all together when
you're working with this impact it feels really good it's actually the opposite
as if the wall goes a little bit more top-heavy and it does bottom heavy plate
the DeWalt dead but all in all they're both balanced pretty well the solid feel
to them so I'm happy with the build quality on both these units far as it
goes with the warranty you get the lifetime service agreement on the rigid
and the battery as well it's time to put these to the test we're gonna start out
with some general purpose screws going into a treated 4x4 switch in between
both of these so you can see the difference up close so we're going to
start out on setting one to low a speed on both the DeWalt first let's start it
out now I'm really not looking for these to do much on the lower speed
and the waltz often basically impacts it in real slow on the lowest mode to be
expected but let's try the rigid lowest setting right here
brought it down a little bit further before it started to impact so let's
move it up to the second speed the medium and mind you these are treated
for by force there's a lot of moisture in these so let's try this
I was actually left back right affected let's take it out so I was really quick
even on the second setting so let's try the rigid here on the second setting and
they're both in drill mode super fast as well both of the medium settings on both
these impacts all right now let's bump it up to the highest speed we'll go to
three on both of these again both in drill mode that was fast
I was really quick all right now let's try at the rig all right same thing both
three and also very fast so really nice to see how quick these things actually
are now the one thing that the Ridgid does exceptionally well is the auto mode
I want to show you this because early have this and I did not stop pulling
that trigger it stops by itself and what again then I'll go about in but very
controlled in and once you start sinking that it will stop by itself let's do
some legs now these are half-inch legs we're gonna start out with a couple
different sizes but we're using the exact same socket both husky same size
on each impact now we're not going to use any pilot holes start out with a
couple inches then we'll go to a four inch and we'll see how it drives us down
in so what I'm going to do is I'm going to drive this down a little bit maybe
about an eighth of an inch cause it's kind of hard to do this by yourself so
let's drag the one down here and then let's do another one right next to it
once we get those in we're gonna put these up side by side I am NOT going to
apply any pressure at all either one when we go to do the longer legs all
right so now that we got these set up I'm gonna throw the D wall on this side
throw it rigid here pull the trigger
so the Walt little faster on the left-hand side there let's take them out
so it looks like that they've all took that one let's try it with the longer
legs but we're not using any pilot holes at all for either one of these and again
it's going through a treated 4x4 so let's check this out with a longer leg
see what happens
and the waltz take it in speed you know not only did they go all the way down
through that 4x4 it also went down through my picnic table so the wife will
be very happy about that but impressive all right let's bring these back up all
right so let's look at the battery real quick three out of the four bars are
still left on the rigid and three out of the three bars on the D wall is still
available the end of the day I think it boils down to two things one is you want
something a little faster or you want something that has the newer technology
really that's up to the end-user to his side I just want to bring these out here
and see what you think I want to know which one out of these two do you think
is the winner who wins the tool duel these impact drivers are very impressive
I like both of them I think they're both pretty much in the same weight class
they're very close I think the Ridgid is a little bit heavier a little bit larger
overall but not much honest with you I am excited to put the D wall up against
the makita here in the next door so I want to know who won this let me know in
