    Our recommended Mid-Torque link (so far): amzn.to/3l1eezH The P262 is Ryobi's 1st real swing for the fences in the category, but is it enough to take down the 2962-20 Gen2 M18 Mid-Torque from Milwaukee? Let's find out, and maybe look into some weird thing we found with this one that set it apart.

      It has to have the two extra terminals on the back of the stem of the battery at the base. So if you want to use a 4 amp hour you will have to do that high performance one and that one may be hard to get your hands on right now. Otherwise a 3 amp hour HP battery or a 6 amp hour HP battery it would be the way to go but it looks like they're kind of phasing out those 6 amp hour ones right now. TTI is doing some strange things right now with Rigid and Ryobi. They've gotten rid of the octane in rigid and with Ryobi they've phased out their first brushless offerings for this new HP brushless line. So really they don't have a battery better than a 4 amp hour currently for their tools because the other batteries are in phase out. They also have a 4ah HP battery in phase out to that can be found. Here is the best priced one I can find right now for you. www.directtoolsoutlet.com/Products/Batteries-%26-Chargers/Batteries/RYOBI-ONE%2B-18-Volt-Lithium%2B-HP-High-Capacity-Battery/p/ZRP191

    Upgraded from an older 18v kit. czcams.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.

So, the extra power the Makita will likely exhibit over the Milwaukee will come at the expense of size & weight.

The shortness of the Milwaukee sounds good but the battery gets in the way more and the shorter nose means I end up using a extension more than my Rigid.

      The batteries are not supposed to make a difference because they are all the same voltage which is what activates the motor.

    • @Biaanca5036
      @Biaanca5036 Před 2 lety +6

      True they aren't really supposed to. But there is an accident/glitch/bug in the capacity rule: Using two rows of battery cells to double the capacity _also_ accidentally flattens the power curve. So they might spin the same, but the torque is gonna be better. More throughput is still a bonus even if it is just an engineering accident. Who isn't happy for more throughput?

I do also have Milwaukee 12v Fuels that I use for a drill amd 1/4 impact that I have had for years without one single problem.

    Although a fan of Ryobi tools, I regard the legacy battery contacts as being their biggest weakness. They belong to a past era of lower power NiCad tools, but are still used in a new era of staggeringly high power lithium powered tools. Any pitting on a battery contact will affect the torque performance greatly. They really need large area knife contacts.

    • @pflaffik
      @pflaffik Před 2 lety

      If only that was the biggest problem. First they gotta get the battery out of the grip so human hands could hold them without too much strain. Everyone who used a one-handed angle grinder for an extended period know how painful a thick grip is after not too long, obviously the Ryobi grips arent that thick but you can feel its leaning in that direction. To make matters worse they are not even cheap outside of north america.

    "Real World" results may vary - was working with another pro-mechanic on an engine removal the other day - he arrived with every cordless Milwaukee make in his kitbags - all span new & shiny. He works for a factory race-team & they chuck all the shiny toys at him.
    We were working opposite sides of the vehicle, taking out the running gear. Everything was gnarly-tight & rusty, My old garbage at this stage Makita & Dewault gear opened everything his new Milwauki stuff did - I grabbed his mid-torque a few times just for the "Try". Very nice they are too but it opened tight stuff no better than my absolutely knackered-out Dewilt that has led a dogs life.
    When it came to cordless ratchets, I have a "pos" €60 one as I have to buy my own tools using my own beer-vouchers - he had Milwaukees latest & greatest extended neck version. My "POS" does better. Which surprised me greatly as mine looks like a toy by comparison. But it punches harder than the Milwaukee & fits in tight spots better - Fact.
    I also learnt once more that when it comes to rusted solid, not a hope of turning the nuts even by hand with a 4' breaker bar - the only "Real" impact driver for the rugged stuff is a 3/4" air-gun. That got dragged out after his 1/2" Milwaukee Hi-Torque had decided it wasn't doing jack & neither were we swinging out of the breaker bar. The 3/4" rattled about 4 times before the nuts gave up.

    I've been saying it for years. I've owned Milwaukee, Bosch, DeWalt, Ryobi and Makita. I finally settled on Milwaukee and Ryobi sort of by chance however if you are a home owner or even serious DIY'er then look no further than Ryobi. They are the best value by far. Not only is the tool less expensive but you can get great battery deals, something you'll never find with the pro models like Milwaukee, DeWalt or Makita. Like printers, where they give them away and make most of their money on ink, it seems the manufacturers make more money on the replacement batteries than anything. Ryobi had a deal this Christmas where you could buy two 5Ahr batteries for $79. Go buy a 5 Ahr Milwaukee battery and you'll pay almost twice as much for one battery.

    • @hydrocarbon8272
      @hydrocarbon8272 Před 3 lety

      If you take them apart you'll see one reason why the price is higher. Fully conformal-coated boards means you'll not likely have it die from a small or large "bath" - which isn't covered by Ryobi. They also have better mosfet heatsinking, which may be the cause of these variable results. That or the much smaller contacts, which I'd commonly see wear out (I worked for Home Cheapo). Nearly every other company has a prong-style contact with more surface area for less voltage drop & wear. It's cool they kept the backwards-compatible design, but I suspect they've found the power & vibration limit.
      In the end TTI offers a reasonable price "tier" with Ryobi, Rigid, and Milwaukee - you just don't see why all up front.

    For decades I bought Milwaukee for work. Now I do much less than I used to so Ryobi and Dewalt are plenty good and less cost. The One+ collection of Ryobi tools just keeps growing. My son does some DIY work and likes Ryobi too. As for Milwaukee cordless drills I thought my 14.4V one made in Germany was better than the later Milwaukee 14.4V replacement. So, generally, IMO for light pro work and normal DIY Ryobi is fine, if you work the hell out of tools either heavy DIY or pro then spend the big bucks on Milwaukee or Hilti to get more bang for your buck in the long run.

There's the power contacts at the top of the tower, and 2 new ones in the back and on top of the block, they still work with legacy Ryobi tools and the new tools will still run with old bats, but the new tools run best with new bats . That and the 5vs4 Ah could account for every difference in these tests.

    Test the dewalt 1/2 inch mid torque, it’s an older tool but it’s a beast with the new 21700 cell battery’s

    Also an important thing to mention: if you purchase the M18 with the rear handle saw at Home Depot, it'll save you $150 total for spending $500, thus bringing the mid torque wrench to the price of $164 before tax, only $5 more than the new Ryobi impact wrench.
    And Home Depot allows you to do partial returns so if you return the rear handle saw for reasons of "not needing it", you get a partial refund & end up saving money on the mid-torque alone!!!!!!!!
    It's worth to promote while it's still going on

    I’ve done curve side pick up plenty of times at Home Depot. Although the store shows items in stock sometimes they refund me my money and cancel my order due to not having the item 😓

    I feel like the batteries might be the culprit of this result. Maybe ryobi wants you to buy the higher battery for those results who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

    @psychosis7325 Před 3 lety

    Be interesting to look in that battery and your 5ah.... They may be using similar capacity cells and have the extra 20% sitting idle so the tool is cycling 10-90% charge rather than 0-100 which would greatly improve cycle life at the sacrifice of a little more bulk, could also explain the funny action as the controller may be cutting out sooner or later giving a 85-95% charge or something.

    Electric tools are getting stronger!! For Automotive uses, rookie to mid rookie technicians loves to just use it to tighten everything down on the highest mode which in turns strips the bolts/nuts. I'm fine with my Milwaukee Stubby at 250 Foot Pounds breakaway. Worked on small cars and Trucks as big as Fords F550. If all else fails, break out the M18 Milwaukee 1/2'' Drive 1400 Foot Pounds break away 18V Impact Gun. The Milwaukee Stubby 3/8'' or 1/2'' drive at 250 Foot Pounds already can remove 90% of vehicles Harmonic Pulley Bolts, for the Honda/Acura use the M18 at 1400 Foot Pounds. Drilled and Tapped so many rookies mistake of stripping/breaking the bolts and nuts. Helicoil alot of stuff too.

    I just used a Ryobi 261 for the first time, exact same results! It only broke 8 of 20 lug nuts loose. Super wimpy, motor smelled burnt. It's going back and I'm getting a 262

  • @86dieselman
    @86dieselman Před 2 lety +11

    Answer to? No, not at all. Remember that they are the same company! Ryobi is not competing with Milwaukee just as Chevy isn't competing with Cadillac. It's a deciduous statement. Ryobi is made for DIY people and Milwaukee is geared towards professionals.

    How does a channel with such low subscribers (comparable to other tool channels) get sponsored by Ego have such awesome tests and edits yet remain small?
    Just found this channel and really like what I'm seeing this far👌. Please also test Hilti, Metabo, Snap-on, Fein tools, Festool and such.
    There are test channels, best so far and in depth being 'Project Farm's but I really see a need for a channel that focuses primarily on cordless power tools.
    Anyway great video, I had to subscribe😃

    It would be interesting to try that test again with another same model battery. I am wondering if the battery management is jacking up the readings.

  • @davidgurganus61
    @davidgurganus61 Před 3 lety

    I have one of the 4 amp batteries for my blower and I have noticed that even on a full charge, the speed of the volume of air can change at random intervals, much like the change in power delivery you experienced.
    I wonder if it has something to do with their battery or the power management of it internally?

  • @stans5270

    I can imagine your frustration with Home Depot, although my grievance is with Lowes.
    I went to the Internet Order Pick-up Desk to get some Dewalt 12-volt tools that came in. It took the lady 20 minutes to find my tools. She asked if I wanted to have my receipt emailed to me. I said sure and she had me go on my merry way with no paper receipt. While going out the door I was tackled and THEN asked for my receipt. I told the guy that it was emailed to me and the yellow tag with my name on the tools and my pick-up order slip should be enough. Lowes never commented on the complaint that I filed.

    You should try it with the high perforamos since it would give it the max sepas given for the drill the regular battery would under perform on the hp tools

    I guess it's finally time to put my first gen ryobi impact away, it's no longer green scratched all to hell and not as strong as it once was but still does the job suprisingly. Hopefully this model is as durable to me dropping it in junkyards was my original.

  • @NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM
    @NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM Před 3 lety

    My understanding is that Ryobi HP+ battery has two extra contact point that provide extra torque, Although it may only be available for the saw. I watched a YT video on standard battery vs HP+ pack. At any rate this is a great comparison

  • @johnhebberd2248
    @johnhebberd2248 Před 2 lety

    I just bought this ryobi...for 99 bucks. And I also got the 1 inch sds for another 100. And then I got the 2 hp 4ah batteries for another 100 :) home Depot pretty much forced my hand with the buy more save more. I have the first Gen sds and 1/2" impact and they still treat me right. We'll see what these new hp brushless tools got on the grizzled old veterans

  • @JakeyyFD
    @JakeyyFD Před 3 lety

    If those cells in that battery pack have a lower maximum discharge rate it could be that the batteries are voltage dropping and causing the tool to lose performance. Simply letting it sit for a few minutes could allow the cells chemistry to recover some and provide a larger current output or it could have to do with a discharge controller if the battery has one. I would be willing to bet you can achieve more consistent results if you go to the nicer battery.

  • @holden3083

    If you look under the ryobi impact it actually has two special pegs which the normal batteries don’t have only the hp ones do increasing power

  • @Boricua4life
    @Boricua4life Před 2 lety

    I own Milwaukee tools but I also have Dewalt and others. I’m looking for a battery push mower and Milwaukee doesn’t have one so I thinking about going Dewalt or Ryobi. I do like the Dewalt lawnmower but Ryobi makes a battery operated dethacher that look good. So I’ll probably have all 3. Ryobi is or 70 years old and will be around forever. Ryobi prices can’t be beat and are definitely good products.

  • @FredrickII
    @FredrickII Před 3 lety

    Ryobi and Milwaukee are both brands owned by Techtronic Industries (TTI). So I’m sure there are cross-efficiencies. They probably share quite a few parts and technologies.
    Ryobi is the consumer-focused brand sold by Home Depot. Milwaukee is traditionally more trades-focused so a bit costlier. Overall I prefer Milwaukee.Thanks for showing the performance tests - very helpful.

  • @kvernesdotten
    @kvernesdotten Před 3 lety

    This is nice to see, alot of people out there should start taking Ryobi more seriously. Its not as powerful, it may not be as durable, but alot of their stuff is getting pretty good for the price!

    • @TorqueTestChannel

    • @ZeGermanHam
      @ZeGermanHam Před 3 lety

      Ryobi has been making big improvements, and they offer a great tool lineup for homeowners/DIY'ers, but it seems evident (to me) that they still need to improve their quality. There was the issue with inconsistent performance seen in this video, and an intermittently working trigger in a previous video, and I've had other Ryobi tools break prematurely.
