4 MODES! NEW RIDGID Mid Torque Impact Wrench Review [R86012]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- The Mid-Torque impact wrench arena just got another contender. The RIDGID R86012 Mid-Torque Impact Wrench is supposed to deliver 650 ft-lbs of loosening torque and 500 ft-lbs of fastening torque. WIth 4 different power modes, 3 of which are progressive power modes, and the 4th mode is the Auto Mode. in the Auto mode, the impact wrench will provide max power to loosen the fastener, but once it senses the fastener is loose, the Ridgid Mi Torque slows down and stops. When tightening in the Auto mode, once the fasteners is snugged, the tool stops and shuts off. You can get the RIDGID R86012 Mid-Torque impact wrench as a bare tool for $199, or you can get the Kit with a 4Ah battery and charger for $269. This includes a 90 day warranty that transfers to an LSA (Lifetime Service Agreement) if you register the tool within 90 days of purchase.

Great tool. Purchased the 4 and 6 amp hour battery kit with charger for $179 and got the tool for free. Great deals on Rigid at Home Depot right now.
I’m thinking about getting this deal vs getting a Dewalt 891b. I just need a reliable impact wrench to keep in my trunk in case I need to change a tire or something
I got the same deal and with life time warranty make it an unbeatable deal for that money .
I took advantage of the same promotional deal. However, I can’t seem to find the right sockets for my impact wrench, can anyone help me? Thanks
Any impact socket set or regular socket set will fit as long as it's 1/2 inch. It has a ring style retainer so simply push them on with some force. They will go on and come off without a problem. @@doctorno7304
Any half inch sockets will fit this. If you have the friction ring they can be tough to get on. You can give them a little tap after putting them on. Don’t worry, they will still come off.@@doctorno7304
Awesome stuff Tim! If I remember right the M18 2960/2962 Gen 2 Mid you got the same between 600-650 on those XL fasteners & adapter. So pretty close these two tools. The Ridgid with its speed is a fun one to use on wheels/tries for sure.
You guys helped sell me on this one.
Glad to hear about the use on wheels/tires, as that's exactly what I'll be using this for in a professional setting. Love your channel, by the way!
@@devonrosa4414 I just recently ordered this impact wrench after watching this video.
I follow a professional mechanic called Rainman Ray, and he uses a Ridgid impact wrench in a lot of his videos.
By the way, it’s on sale right now for $169 with a battery, a charger and a bag.
@@DiligentDave1966 already in the Ridgid platform, so no need for the battery and charger, so I actually picked mine up from Direct Tool factory outlet for $132 (tool only). That's a great deal though!
@@devonrosa4414 The kit is regularly $269, so I thought it was a great deal. It was $149 for a few days, but I didn’t order it in time and missed out.
By the way, Tools Direct is not available in my area. I was going to order an Octane hammer drill from them, and wasn’t able to.
I don’t know how many channels are mentioning it, but Home Depot has the Ridgid mid torque impact wrench (friction ring version) kit online for $149.
The kit includes a 4 amp battery, a charger and a bag.
The protective boot is also on sale for $19.
I missed that but it just went back on sale WITH FREE TOOL.. boot is $40 right now
@@abdomination Are you sure you’re not referring to the high torque impact wrench?
I just got mine on sale at home depot. Mid torque impact wrench, tool bag, charger & 4ah battery + a free tool. I chose the ridgid multi tool (tool only). All for about $160. He'll of a deal
Just bought the kit for $170.00 at home depot. Thanks for the reviews
14:20... breaker bar... just here to help TJ!...LET'S GO 🏁
I just bought this impact gun with an 8ah battery for 179 plus tax.
Helluva deal. Free tool with battery purchase, I picked this impact. Can't beat that deal with a baseball bat
Between this channel, the torque test channel and another one I follow, I’m sold on the Ridgid mid torque.
For me, it all came down to getting the best bang for my buck.
The Ridgid has a great balance of power, speed and price. It’s above average in every category. The lifetime service agreement just seals the deal for me.
I’m just waiting for the promo that is supposed to happen in a few days.
That promo is why I'm here. I'm between Dewalt and rigid as far which new platform. Been using PC looking upgrade. The Dewalt nail gun is main thing keeping from going that way. Rigid nail gun has good reviews so far.
@@soulreed The LSA on Ridgid is no joke. I’ve heard people rave about how well Ridgid stands behind their warranty.
Right now the Ridgid mid torque impact (friction ring version) with a battery, charger and bag is on sale for $149 online.
It won’t say mid torque in the description, but you’ll see it’s the 650 foot pound impact when you scroll through the pictures.
@@soulreed Take a look at the Tools with SOALZ channel. The guy is a total Ridgid fanatic that actually used Ridgid tools professionally as a solar installer.
@@DiligentDave1966 thanks man
@@soulreed Just looking out for my fellow man.
I ordered it when it was $169, and I’m going to see if they will refund the $20 under the price guarantee.
It’s a BEAST. Awesome testing Tim. Hope all is well my man
Just the tool I was wanting to see you review. Thanks!
I love these new 8mprovement that tti is making in their lower end brands its really making me excited for their gen 3 Milwaukee guns like that double battery 1 inch d handle and apparently they are going to release their own torque gun(the wheel style ) which i expect you'll have to add to your collection as well
Just take my money already lol
Grabbed this today! 2 4ah battery kit with charger on clearance for $99, this was free!! $107 out the door, 🤯
Got it to speed up a tire change after a blow on our camper, not doing the lug wrench again, Good Demo! Thanks!
Sunex makes half-inch drive sockets all the way up to 2" in shallow and deep 248D is 1-1/2 the part number goes up in even numerical order so 250D 252D And so on till 2" in 1/2 drive
Just picked up one of these - on sale at Home Depot, 160-ish bucks for a kit. No brainer for a home/DIY mechanic.
It works real well for the lugs though.
Good enough for any DIY mechanic.
Yes, this is a powerful little impact. Thanks for watching.
Love the new Rig!!! With your equipment this is as close to real world Max breakaway Impact testing numbers we have for each brand. Appreciate your hard work and dedication👍🏼BTW I do have the Gen 1 and 2 Milwaukee's seems like the higher RPM's gives this tool some extra beans over the Gen 1 🤣
I just got the octane high torque kit on the special buy of the day at home Depot ..... 3 weeks after I ordered it , luckily I was able to get some octane batts to take advantage of it's hidden power , but the performance of this mid torque make me think that the new high torque is gonna be omega level
I love Milwaukee I wouldn't mind using this beast. I can't wait until Milwaukee comes out with their new high torque impact.
Home Depot had this kit on sale for $77 if you return the “free tool”. Absolutely insane
Just picked it up $179 home depot 2 batteries kit w free tool! Great DIY steal!!
They've done a great job but the modest increase in torque and the lack of the tri LED lights around the front, I'll be keeping my Gen 5 mid torque.
Great video STR
Great video. I'm another "just got one" guy. ($179 Home Depot). I've got a home shop, no big equipment. I also use Ridgid's impact driver too for my garden tractor. Fit the tool to the job.
I'm here because of Torque Test Channel gave your channel a shot out! Great channel!
Had the old one and now have this newer one... Love it 😎
Wonder what torque it stops at on auto mode?
Can’t wait until you test the 891, also test the 894 at the same time.
Cannot wait to buy this kit!
That kit is hard to beat at that price. Thanks for watching.
Did you get it?
Need to come out with Ridgid 18v big fan
Would like to see a kobalt xtr 1/2! You did a video but never found the max. New Dewalt mid torque face off against new rigid would be cool to see.
I just wanted to share something I recently saw.
I know some people prefer a detent pin style over the friction ring style, but I saw a video of a Dewalt Dcf899 where the anvil broke right at the detent.
Purchased it at Home Depot for $150 for kit (tool, battery, and charger) at time of this comment.
Its more than enough for what I need. Definitely can handle wheel lug nuts easily
Have it's 1/4 inch drive baby brother from 10 plus years ago and it will still rip the head off a 3/8 lag bolt. A great deal at the time !
Great to hear. Thanks for watching.
I just ordered the one with the friction ring today because the kit is on sale.
Great review
Great review, thanks!
Just got this with the 3/8 ratchet for 169 waiting for the impact to come 😁
What’s better Milwaukee M12 fuel stubby 3/8 impact or this Rigid 1/2 impact
This Ridgid
I need this in a 3/8 version
I wonder how much/if any, the diameter of the nut changes how much power the tool can apply to the nut, like the bigger the diameter and the farther out from the center the socket is making contact with the nut, the tool maybe cannot apply as much torque, compared to a smaller one?
I'm confused about the modes - do they affect TORQUE or RPM or BOTH?
I’m really thinking about getting one of these.
I would like to see how this compares with the Ryobi P262 because when you reviewed that it still seemed like the Ryobi had more to give at 600 ft pounds.
Since makes up to 2” impacts sockets in 1/2 drive
ive been shopping for one, and the price for the pin detend and the hog ring is almost 120 bucks, ive been looking at the specs and theres no difference whats so ever, if you could clairify why id appreciate it
be nice to see some tool temp while using at the deep end
Thank you so much for this video سپاسگزارم
This bros channel blew up
The 700 ft lb was definitely starting to move when you released trigger with the 4ah.
Also what about the 6ah MO vs 6ah Oct?
Excellent.
Sorry to ask a noob question, but to remove lug nuts on cars would you think this is overkill compared to the compact version? Right now the compact with battery is selling for $159 compared to the mid at $169. Thanks
If you're only going to get one or the other, get this Mid-Torque, definitely not overkill. The Sub-Compact is a great tool for getting into tighter places but at 225 ft-lbs it may struggle on some larger or stubborn lug nuts. I have both of the Sub-Compact impact wrenches, ⅜" and ½" anvils. I find myself using the the ⅜" on most small to medium size fasteners. On larger fasteners I usually just grab the ½" Mid-Torque, so my ½" Sub-Compact rarely gets used.
I like the new mid torque gun; I have a Rigid 1/2 " gun in the truck (3/4 t) to remove lug bolts. It was on sale as an open box kit with 4.0 hr bat, charger & open box for $139, so i bought it. It works fine for the limited usage it gets.
But, based upon how the LSG works, I wouldn't say the the LSA is worth anything. You have to mail the tool in, can't carry it in and based upon other people's experience, it seems to take a while to get it repaired.
Milwaukee has a repair center about 30 miles away that I drop off the tool and get it repaired in a timely fashion, can't say that about Rigid.
Great review, but when it automatically stops tightening about how much is the bolt torqued? If I use it on an automobile lugnuts will it over torque?
You still need a Torque Wrench for accurate torque specs.
Can you do a review on the ridgid high torque, and the ridgid octane high torque doing 1000 ftlbs and up like you do in the other video with the Hercules ultra torque
We will do this soon. Thanks for asking
Do you have to buy it from home Depot to get mfg warranty?
I am debating on investing in this impact or the new generation 1/2 impact wrench from Kobalt? Which one would be better to have, nay suggestions?
Im on the same boat, I have a kobalt drill and sawzall, but I'm looking at this impact. Similar power and rigid has a stubby 3/8 impact which I would like for a good backyard mechanic combo!
Get Kobalt since you already have batteries. Otherwise you can't go wrong with the Ridgid
Dcf891 vs r86012. Want to go rigid but the atomic line got my money. Dewalt just got better assortment of tools.
891 stomps.
Got mine for 170 at homedepot for the kit
That's a great deal for the kit. Thanks for watching and sharing.
Its a great tool but i just dont like the orange color dewalt for me look the best my appiniooon
I’m trying to decide between the Ridgid and the Kobalt mid torque.
From everything I’ve seen, they’re so comparable it’s unreal.
Does anyone have any advice?
I'm on the same boat. I'm already on the kobalt line, but I can find the rigid mid torque kit for about 2/3 the price. Need to badly upgrade from the old craftsman c3 impact I have....lol
@@BenTheAVGNFan I just got the Ridgid because the friction ring version kit with a battery, charger and bag is on sale for $149. The LSA is what sold me, as well as the results of the tests.
By the way, I thought I deleted this comment lol.
The new Craftsman impact wrenches are no joke either. The high torque is pretty much the Dewalt Dcf899 in red.
78 bucks homedepot, can't pass
Why stip at 10 sec.? Let it cook dude
Is that yours
It’s a AEG look alike
Dcf891b?
Boss!
Not a ridged fan… not sure why anyone would be.. .but i really like the new design. Less transformer-y. I have a gen 5x drill I grabbed on clearance when I needed one in a pinch… not impressed.
It's pretty much the original M18 Mid-Torque. Great little impact. Thanks for watching.
I have about 30 tools in the Ridgid line and I can tell you exactly why somebody would get into Ridgid...because basically you get Milwaukee power (eventually) at a lower price...eventually... I am a frequent DIY 'r...I use my tools almost everyday and I've never had to use my lifetime service agreement on any of my Ridgid Tools...
@@boosted2.4_sky not saying they won’t last, but the Ryobi stuff has improved so much that ridged seems like an very, very incremental improvement. Weak sauce on batteries too. Seem like they are trying to level up though. I also have their packout, since it fits under my tonneau cover and they are pretty much as good as the other guys there and like 1/2 the price, literally.
@@BLASTIC0 Bought Ryobi, own Ridgid. Just the feel of Ryobi's cheapness motivated me to return it. And, had a 6 yr old brushed Ridgid Drill that quit. Took it to HD with a rental/service center. HD gave me an entire brushless tool kit with drill, 2 bats and charger. And told me to keep the original charger and bat that are still LSA.
@@ridemfast7625 Same for me, entire kit for one faulty drill. Can't ask for more.
Your subliminal messaging at the end of the video isn't that subliminal.
Good, it's not intended to be. lol. Thanks for watching
What exactly do you recommend to remove lug nuts? Every impact you test you never recommend it to remove them. You could probably make "Can it remove lug nuts? Yes. But would I recommend it? No." your catchphrase. 🤣
That's not exactly what I said. I said that if you're working on light-duty trucks and cars, this would be fine for lug nuts. If you're routinely working on 1-ton trucks and larger, I'd recommend a High Torque impact wrench. The reason I say this, is whenever I should any size tool removing lugnuts or even with the power to do so, our comments are full of people complaining that their tool won't remove their lugnuts.
While some tools (impact wrenches and drivers) CAN remove lugnuts, that doesn't mean that they always WILL. So, we are careful what we recommend for tire shops and mechanics that are routinely removing wheels and working on suspension components. Most of these techs know that it takes the power of a High-Torque impact to remove these stubborn fasteners. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Oh I understand. I wanted to mess with you. Great videos. Your channel is great.
These new Ridgid tools are ok but they seems like they want to phase the line out. the octane line gave you Milwaukee performance at a good value albeit in a bulky package. now it seems like Milwaukee lite with a proportional price drop. if you are value oriented go Ryobi if you want top tier performance go Milwaukee, i cant think of a reason why you would go with Ridgid for a new system now that Ryobi is nipping at their heels performance wise . Ridgid went from an easy recommendation to a hesitant one.
Every single test of the new ridgid line that has been shown on any RUclips channel out there has displayed equal to or better than milwaukee performance. I mean...literally NOT 1 SINGLE TEST has displayed favorable performance from milwaukee while SEVERAL have been in Ridgids favor.
Lol
So not sure what you mean by saying it seems like they want to phase the line out. Not to mention ridgid just announced 22 more upcoming 18v tools.
Rrmember that TTI just manufacturers the Ridgid branded tools. What TTI makes in orange is dictated by Emerson Electric, not TTI. So if Emerson sends a design to TTI that outperforms milwaukee in a specific tool, TTI will make it regardless as per contract.
Ridgid is outperforming milwaukee when it comes to performance per value undoubtedly.
Ridgid still offers an LSA if the tool is registered within 90 days of purchase. Ryobi only has a 3 year warranty. I think the LSA alone, on top of the fact that Ridgid is a higher quality tool, is more than enough to invest in the platform. My 2 cents for what it’s worth - invest in the tools that you need from Ridgid to get the LSA. For the remaining niche specific tools that Ridgid doesn’t make (e.g. OPE), fill out with Milwaukee, Makita, or DeWalt for the highest quality tool or get Ryobi if you’re looking to save some money.
@@SouthFLTools what is "lsa" ?
@@irocss85 Lifetime Service Agreement
@@SouthFLTools thanks. There is an asterisk with that, kinda. You only have 90 days to register after purchase.
