what's up everybody and welcome to today's edition of 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 with that being said let's take a
look at the two tools that will be competing in your to do it all right
we've got a really cool one here guys today we're putting up the makita versus
the rigid octane the model number for the makita impact is XD t 1 to Z the
model number for the all-new rigid octane are eight six zero three and nine
B I want to know which one wins out of these two the winner will move on to a
dowhile tool tool will talk about specs will talk about price will show you
these things in action we're gonna do screws we're gonna do some giant lags
it's gonna be fun leave a comment in the comment section
below if you can let me know the winner so the rigid brand-new just hit the
market actually really not even available yet it is on the Depot site
today we're going to use the six eight octane battery on the makita we're using
the five eight so the rigid you're going to have a little bit of a run up on the
makita but it shouldn't make that much of a difference now of course I will put
a link in the description below for each one of these tools but let's start with
the rigid first so the rigid quarter-inch impact you're looking at a
hundred and twenty nine dollars as of today on the home depot site you have
six different modes on this beast you got three different speeds you're going
an automatic and you got the different types of impact that you're doing it is
a little bit bigger than the makita you'll be able to see that in the video
coming up here but the 2,400 pounds of torque that's pretty impressive the blow
is permitted on this 3500 the RPMs on it you're looking at 2900 the weight on
this 2.85 pounds of course it is the eight
and it's running off of the rigid octane smart battery now only do you have three
bright LED lights up there you've got a dedicated light trigger right here on
the bottom or you can turn it on by squeezing the run trigger now one thing
that this has going for it that the Makena does not well it has the lifetime
service agreement so if you're gonna go put this up on their website register it
you don't have to worry about it anymore far as it goes with the fill of it it is
a little bit bigger it is a little bit bulkier but it is very comfortable and
it forms well around the hand I really like that over mode feels great
definitely feels heavy-duty really really happy with that
now you also get the belt clip and you get the bit holder in the back the small
things count for me we're gonna put this up against the makita again we're gonna
drag some lag bolts we did the overview for that we talked about the specs let's
move it over to the makita look at the exact same information and then we'll
put these things to work now these are both brushless but price range what are
we looking at here well put a Makita you're looking at 179 dollars now on
this you have a 4-speed power selection the only thing I don't like about this
is you actually got to pull the trigger just to get this to work it will not
work unless you pull the trigger first definitely a little smaller than the
rigid octane you're looking at about 2.3 pounds for this you also get the LED
light very bright on this you got the single light not two three like you had
on the rigid and in case I forget you do get a three year warranty on the tool
and the battery a little smooth action right there you've got fifteen hundred
and fifty four inch pounds the holders on this 18 will just like the rigid off
paint not the smart battery maximum speed you're looking at 3600 rpm bumps
per minute you're looking at a blistering 3,800 now as far as it goes
with the fill of this again super super comfortable
I will admit it's even more comfortable than the rigid Octane's it's very
compact so really nice most of the hand well I love you over molding on this so
well it really nice build don't the other thing you have to watch out for is
that pesky Makita marketing no never returns any emails to answer questions
for subscribers look how beanie is up watch this will you return the email Oh
see that that pest gimmicky to Nome alright let's put these
things to work I say we start out with some screws we'll go on the low boat
first there you go to some general basic
all-purpose screws we're gonna put them down through a treated four by four now
again we got the six aah battery in the rigid octane and we got the five aah
battery in the makita so we'll put it on low mode here all you got to do is push
that button down on either one of these it's really nice and got the LED lights
light up but on the rigid again you can adjust the speed three different speed
controls and three different types of impact action all right let's try speed
one so sounds like rainbows machine gun love it alright so very nice and control
let's do the same on the makita right here
sounds like there's more impacts per minute on that but me personally I think
the Richie goes down a little bit faster on the former but then again that's not
up for me to decide it is up for you to decide let's take these out to pump the
speed up to medium now and then we will also do an auto mode all right we're
going to move these both up to mode two so medium really or the second setting
read it first
that's actually pretty quick for the second mode all right let's do the
makita so we're the rigid actually went straight down without any impact the
makita actually started to impact almost three-quarters of the way down pick this
up and go on high and again after this we will do the half inch leg so now
let's try the high mode the Richard octane when you're putting some pressure
on this they just pummel those screws man they just go down that was Makita so
basically they were both really quick don't get me wrong they're both really
impressive really impressive tools so let's go into auto mode now we'll do the
rigid first now what I like about the rigid auto mode is when you drive those
screws down it goes full force and then right when you start getting close to
pretty much being flush to your board it basically just stops you're gonna see it
right now so let's check this out here auto mode and I stopped by itself and if
I pull the trigger again it will go again but yet basically stop by itself
now Makita also has basically an auto mode this is right here
you can see it doesn't really work the same and it actually broke the screw
head off so I think in my personal opinion I think the rigid has an up on
the auto mode so let's do the half inch lags we're gonna go a little short I
think these are I don't know to three inches something like that we're going
to use the exact same sock it's 3/4 and we're just going to drive them down
we're not going to use any pilot holes so let's do this
we're gonna start out I'm just going to start them a little bit just so I don't
have to wrestle with them I want to do them both at the exact same time all
right so this one here start a little bit they're only maybe down an eighth of
an inch we'll start this one out over here make sure they're the same height
give them to twist there you go alright or level now we're going to go down now
after we do this I will drive longer lags down through the street at four by
four alright here we go
now the makita did jump a little bit you see that lag when a little chatty Wampus
or whatever you want to call it so you can take it however you want
you know they finished up at the same time basically on this test but you can
see that the lag did go a little crooked when I first started going okay now take
them out you can see that to me see that is a little quicker all right let's try
some longer legs I think these are like six inches or 8 inches not really short
but both half-inch when we start this one the same as I did the other all
right now we're both leveled up I'll grab my other impact here we're gonna do
the exact same thing we're gonna put these and these are both on high mode
here now the rigid has a dedicated lag mode that's what it's on the makita is
set up to high
yeah that's great they both started going crooked at the same time not that
easy to do when you're doing it by yourself especially what I apologize if
I had the pilot holes no it'd be a little bit easier I think
but I don't want to see what it would do so let's take these out here so the
makita just a hair faster than the rigid octane so there you go guys both very
impressive tools I mean either or these are great now there's the size matter to
you that's the price matter to you what about that lifetime service agreement
does that matter to you what about the three LED lights versus the one LED
light does that matter to you now remember the rigid does have the
lifetime service agreement the makita has a three year warranty on it includes
the batteries the Ridgid smart battery you can track it on your phone has all
the different stuff that you can do on that application see how long the
battery life is you know if it's running hot you know when you need to recharge
if it's stolen you can lock it all that cool stuff but at the end of the day
this is up to you whoever wins out of these two will face the d wall I'm not
going to tell you which one you will have to wait but I want to know leave a
