- With 1500 ft-lbs of breakaway torque the Ridgid R86211 High Torque Impact Wrench sits among the top in the cordless impact arena.
Ridgid R86211B (bare tool) $229: homedepot.sjv.io/o26Eb
Ridgid R86211 w/4Ah Battery $328: homedepot.sjv.io/BWdZ1
Furthermore, Ridgid added 3 speed modes and 3 Auto modes to enhance their feature set. We test each one of the Auto modes to determine an average of what each delivers.
We also tortured our test rig to destruction on two bolts. You can buy the Ridgid R86211 impact wrench for just $229 for the bare tool. While this is nothing to sneeze at, other impact wrenches in this category will run in the $300 range for the bare tool. Bang for your buck with this Ridgid is pretty good, especially when you factor in the lifetime warranty when you register the tool within 90 days of purchase.

IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE A FIRST RATE FIRST CLASS VIDEO REVIEW ON CZcams. I LOVE THIS PARTICULAR TOOL I HAVE TWO OF THEM AND THEY ARE A BEAST AND TAKE A BEATING.
I have the Octane mid-Torque impact wrench for a couple years now and have used it to disassemble a complete front end suspension along with both steering knuckles, replace motor mounts, etc. I have the 6 ah and 9 ah batteries, but never needed more than the 4 ah battery the impact wrench came with. It only broke a sweat on one of the axle nuts, took about 20 seconds or so to break it free, but it did the job. I can't imagine I would need more torque for my projects.
I got one recently. It far exceeded my expectations. Game changer for me.
This is AWESOME, I have a VERY EXTENSIVE Ridgid 18v tool set and I have many batteries ranging from 2 ah to 9ah. I have 2 of the 9ah batteries that will last a VERY LONG TIME. I am sooo going to buy one of these impacts.
Always great reviews and no BS! I’ll be following that link! Thanks
Thanks so much, we really appreciate the feedback. Thanks again for watching and for commenting.
Good morning family. Thank you very much for the valuable information and for your time 🙏
Great review Tim. Thank you
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching and commenting.
THANKS TIM!!? GREAT REVIEW!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Thanks for watching!
I forgot to put it on automode, while tightening one of my lugs, and it snapped that sucker off in less than five seconds. This is another one of those Ridgid tools that will surprise people the first time they use it; especially if they are coming over from any other brand.
You are correct, if you have it in Mode 3, it puts out some real power. Need to be careful when you're putting on lug nuts. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Could not get it to break light truck lug nuts with a 2.0ah battery.
@@Ashroyer86 you might be thinking of the midtorque but I doubt either would really have a problem.
@@ToolswithSoAlz I have the high torque 6 mode. It wouldn't break the lug nuts on my truck. I expected more even with the small battery.
@@Ashroyer86 if you say so. I have used that high torque to break bolts tightened to 1,200 ft pounds but yeah it probably can't do the 600 of your truck.
I love mine haven’t used it much I can get away with 4 mode impact but when it fail this will do!
This a very powerful and great impact wrench. Thanks for watching.
I've had one of these for a few months now. I won't hesitate to remove bolts with it. However this thing has torque that scares me more than my 1/2" air impact. I'm still on the fence about it. This replaced my older gen 4 impact and I wish I still had one for lower torque jobs. But this tool has worked great so far.
This is definitely a powerful impact. The Ridgid mid-torque model is great for those lower torque needs. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I love this impact. It has tackled anything I’ve thrown at it. I start at number 1 always and work my way up to number 2. I’ve yet to use the 3 setting to remove anything.
I'm afraid to use 3 as well lol.
Great video. Great explanations.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Home Deopt is having a killer deal on all their impacts right now. The black friday sales started early. A lot of people don't know this but , Ridgid is owned by the same people that own Milwaukee ,TTI.
Yes, they are having some early sales with great deals. You are kinda correct. Ridgid is not Owned by TTi, but TTi does manufacture and distribute Ridgid Power Tools (not All Ridgid tools). Thanks for watching.
Love this tool. I have the mid range too. I love to go up to the expensive cars around me and make sure their lugs are tight
I like that impact!!! It's a beast, I want one,
You need it. ;) Make sure you enter. It's a great impact wrench.
@@Shoptoolreviews I tried, the link won't load
Great video! Would like to see this 1 vs the Milwaukee high torque and would love to see the new rigid mid torque vs the old and new Milwaukee mid torque.. thanks for the videos
Coming soon! Thanks for watching.
Would love to see a review on the Ridgid Octane Mid Torque!
Sweet video
I would like to see a durability test. As a Mobil mechanic, we put our impacts through hell. Dirt, oil, brake dust, humidity, dust and drops. My Milwaukees are still thugging it out. Would like to see someone show off their rigid 1/2 under their personal workload.

And this one for kicks and giggles
czcams.com/video/JofrYCG6zKk/video.html
This tool is amazing
Yes, this is a great impact. Thanks for watching.
Tim Johnson is yelling on this one so you know it’s good one! Haha!
You know it!! Thanks for watching.
Shop Tool Reviews 💪💪 I am starting to like it a lot! The trigger has good control! Pretty smooth!
I use mine for torque sensitive bolts, Auto 1 gives me about 35-40 if I let off when it starts impacting, I finish them with a torque wrench, saves me from potential for flooding buildings.
Love the channel, just one recommendation I have would be adding a little more time at the end of your videos. That way it gives us a chance to click on the suggested videos at the end. (I see this video is a year old, so you guys might’ve already addressed that.) Just a thought.
I hope I’m not to late to enter! Also great quality content!
Thank you very much. Unfortunately, we've already ended this giveaway, but we are starting another on Monday. We'll be giving away a Makita impact wrench kit.
Wouw i wish to have that tool n nice video by do way good bless u
Thank you! We appreciate you watching and commenting. Have a great day.
I wonder if the speed setting makes any difference in auto mode when loosening the hardware as well, when it messed up and didn’t stop I think you were still in auto 2 but you only tightened those with auto 1. I wonder if you had used auto 1 to loosen those again if it would have worked properly.
Loosening should be 100% in any of the modes. Thanks for watching.
Is the impact wrench just for automotive and the impact DRIVER for all other applications? There’s a big price difference and I want to pick up something like this but not necessarily for auto.
Are they any torq tests with non-auto mods with only the manual 1-2-3 ?
You normally get more torq than the auto mod.
Thanks
We do the torque test in non-auto mode for the peak torque. We don't test the max in mode 1 and 2. Thanks for watching.
What about triger feels like? Is it smooth like milwaukee and bosch, or isn’t (kind of chopy feels)?
Lol. Why would you do a video without the proper torque wrench? Same as when guys use different strength batteries or uncomparable models. We watch these so we can have facts to back up our buying choices... just sayin'.
Excellent! Thanks for watching.
Home Depot is selling this baby right now for $270 with a charger and battery. The auto mode 2 forward torque is wayy too high for a regular lug nuts in a car. They are usually torqued between 80-100 foot pounds.
Hi would you recommend this high torque wrench or the ryobi
I need to buy 1. Just hope the new charger is better than the octane chargers or the older 1
So use Auto Mode 1 to fasten lugs on light passenger vehicles, Auto Mode 2 for lugs on heavy pickups, and Auto Mode 3 for nuts on Mechagodzilla?
High torque impact with dummy modes. I can see the 123 low med high settings but the other crap no one will ever use by someone that knows how to use tools.
I know exactly what you're talking about. Those are my thoughts too; I like to use the trigger for my fine-tuning. However, I have met plenty of other tool users that Love these Auto modes. So, it's hard to argue with numbers. I feel your pain though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The auto modes are good for certain uses. I found for cement anchors to not over tighten them being one. On 3 it was pulling the anchors out accidentally with ease. On auto 2 it was setting it just right. But normally, I completely agree.
Why it did nt stop on mode 1 ?
You kept the torq on mode 2 while unbolting the nut fixed on mode 1.
Think thats the reason
What is the price with R86211, two 6Ah batteries, good charger & hard case?
What brand of torque wrench is that?
Your testing is outstanding. Do you have a video with the m18 model with a 6.0 ho and or a 5.0xc?
Thank you for your kind comments. We've covered the M18 High Torque a couple of times. Here's one of the videos: czcams.com/video/QdpavnGh2pY/video.html
Thanks again for watching and commenting.
@@Shoptoolreviews thanks I'll check it out.
@@Shoptoolreviews Checked it out, do you have a plan to do a comparison with the Milwaukee and this in torque testing? i see you had a chart in the Milwaukee video showing the Milwaukee as the leader, just curious how this new technology compares.
We'll be doing a comparison of A LOT of impacts coming very soon. ;)
@@Shoptoolreviews Thanks,
In the auto mode if you hit the trigger again it will give it a little more .... could you test real quick how much torque is applied with two trigger pulls of auto 1 . Since auto one is too low for lug nuts and auto 2 is too high ... maybe two shots of auto one would get them right about where they need to be
@shop tool reviews can you do a new review on this with you new rig with the bigger fasteners
We will do this very soon. Thanks for watching.
I have a 2007 Didge grand caravan, would auto mode 2 be tight enough to tighten lug nuts?
I wouldn't trust any of the modes for tightening lug nuts. Run them on snug, then use a torque wrench to finish. Thanks for watching.
Way too tight. I would use auto 1 to snug then tighten to spec with torque wrench. I think carvan lugs are around 100. Auto 2 setting was tightening well over 200.
i know the tool is years old, but could you reveiw the Ridgid Octane mid torque impact wrench? youve done all of the ridgid impacts but that one.
We will see what we can do. There may be an impact shootout coming soon. ;) This would compare ALL the cordless impacts (Hi, Mid, and Low). That sound better?
Shop Tool Reviews yeah, that’s even better. Thank you.
10:08... That's gotta hurt.
I just need an impact for auto lug nuts. Would you recommend this model or something with a little less torque. I want to stay with Ridgid brand
most automotive lugs are like 100ft pounds. so honestly any of them will get you to do tire rotations. so its more of what do you want to spend
@@theTealStory thanks, I bought the R 86011B
Guys at HD now February 14 ……249$ tool and 2 (4ah) batteries and charger it’s an amazing deal
Do you think this is the strongest of all cordless 1/2 inch impacts. I want the one that gives me the best chance at the Honda crank bolt.
That's a question that many ask, and it's probably a toss-up, depending on the battery used. I think the Ridgid and Milwaukee High-Torque bring the biggest punch, and the Ingersoll Rand is not far behind. Thanks for watching.
This impact paired with the lisle weighted 19mm socket and you will get that Honda crank bolt loose no problem. I got that special lisle socket for Honda crank bolts. And it works very well. Good luck
You never did this test on the DeWalt DCF 900?
Are the numbers the same without a octane battery? If not how much do you loose ?
The Octane battery does add some power, but I'm not sure exactly how much. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews you should test this in a video 🤟
Auto mode 1 would be great for lug nuts and finish with torque wrench to torque to spec
just ordered a used one for a song, will be rebuilding it and fixing chicagos trains with it soon enough.
worth mentioning that milwaukee has finally bested this impact, 4 years later, and only if you use their newest battery technology. meanwhile this thing is pumping out massive torque with battery tech so old its been discontinued. but works so well people pay a premium for it used.
Milwaukee and ridgid are owned by the same manufacturer, im pretty sure this tool was what ended the octane lineup, it proved octane could outperform their more expensive brands technology.
I dont think the auto-mode is precise.
Better finish with a torq measuring wrenge ?
It’s definitely a skookum choocher. You’re gonna want to wear leather gloves when holding another wrench because it will torque it and crush your hand. Also it will crap out for hours if you overheat it. I thought I blew the MOSFETS right out of it one time, but it did recover. This can’t hold a candle to My Mac air impact wrench, not even close, but that’s expected. Not too many complaints other than that. I only use it when I know it’s gonna work nowadays. I work on semi trailers, I’d be lost without my Mac. Weird thing is my Mac never crushes my hand while holding a hand wrench, it just breaks the fasteners loose.
I know this a year old but your off your rockers if you compare a air impact to a cordless. Of COARSE your air impact is gonna slam the cordless impact of the face of the earth. The air impact doesn't crush your hand because when it impacts it has a or most usually has a dual hammer design so it has a cushion effect which wont kink your wrist like a used and abused torx bit.
😂😂😂 soft hands
So this would be great for the heavy suspension stuff and lug nuts?
I have the snubby 3/8 impact wrench for brakes, pans, ect works good.. Needed alittle more for lugs
Yes, this will definitely handle the the heavy stuff. Thanks for watching.
Anymore free tools I been waiting I even went and purchased both new and old impacts by rigid.
I wish ryobi would put out a high torque impact wrench
We agree with you. Hopefully, they will soon. Thanks for watching.
I was jumping around the video. My question: does it have 1500ftlbs of breakaway? Will the 2.0ah batteries give it any power?
The 2.0 batters can run the tool but at a lower capacity. You need the octane batteries to get the most out of these. The 3.0AH batteries are great.
@@thir13enthour it wouldn't break my lug nuts loose with the 2.0 on a light duty pickup. So I bought the kobalt. Don't really care for kobalt but I think it will do what I need.
@@Ashroyer86 LOL it won’t. Guys at work have em. They’re bad
@@thir13enthour for realz?
@@Ashroyer86 Why didnt you put it on setting 3?
Could this be used for heavy equipment and cars? What the effect of high torque?
Even with the corrected link, the site doesn't work to submit for give away
Matt, we're very sorry. We just fixed this on the page. We placed a link in the page to Enter. There is supposed to be an App running in the page to take care of this, but it doesn't seem to be working. Sorry for the extra step, and sorry that it wasn't working.
How come no one talking about that digital torque (impact?) wrench?! What is that thing? Gnarly lookin, how come it doesn’t twist your wrist right off? (I just found the video, disregard) awesome
Thank you for watching.
Darren, it's a torque gun using planetary gearing for torque multiplication, and a reaction arm which rests against the adjacent fastener. No reaction point and it would twist your wrist off...
Oh, if they would’ve just kept the Octane and Stealth Force lines.
Couldn’t make Milwaukee jealous, though lol.
I recently ordered the new mid torque because Home Depot had a great deal on the kit with the friction ring version.
How do you like the new one?
@@mike_t_007 I actually haven’t used it yet.
@@DiligentDave1966 I hear you. I've had mine since the summer and only tested it here and there. Never had an actual "need" for it either lol!...BUT behold the day we'll need it.... 😁
@@mike_t_007 I should be using it fairly soon.
Yeah ,how much is that one.?
Need to test it on crank bolt pulleys
GM LS and Big Block crank bolts are no problem with this. Will it take off a Honda crank bolt? That remains to be seen, but maybe we can make this happen soon. Thanks for watching.
Shop Tool Reviews
That’s socket problem, more than a impact wrench problem. With a regular impact socket, a lot of torque loss occurs through the socket walls. With a 19 mm heavy socket, my dcf899 just snaps them off in about a second.
I just grabbed a new one /set today
Nice! Did you get one from that crazy sale with Direct Tools Outlet last week?
Just tried the link and I’m getting the “server cannot be found.” error message.
That's odd. I just checked the link and it's working right now. You can try this link:
gleam.io/mQKxP/ridgid-high-torque-impact-wrench-kit-giveaway
I wonder how much power is lost of you use the regular hyper Lithium battery instead of the octane
Good question on that. Not sure. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews well 2 days ago I just did a 02 GMC 5500 with 19.5s that haven't seen new rubber since 09. The 4 AH hyper lithium peformed just as well as the 6 AH octane from left to right side break away.
Its give or take 30-50ft lbs, theres test done with octane vs non octane and with a battery adapter using other batteries(test was done using a ryobi hp plus)
So, something i noticed about your videos. It doesmt look like you are taking into account the reduction in removal, vs fastening torque. When you tighten a bolt to a certain torque, normally it only takes about 90% of the torque to break the bolt free (with no corrosion or damage to hardware) so the fact that youre tightening the bolts to 700, it should really only take 630 to break it free. And when you record the results with the torque wrench, and you measure 500, the gun actually tightened closer to 555.
Did you actually watch the video? He explained about that and uses a 80% factor.
@@brucespurier7535 yup
He literally went over that in great detail, as he does in all his videos.
Here's the real question: How does this fare on crank bolts?
This will work extremely well for crank bolts. Unless, of course, you're talking about the infamous Honda crank bolt. Without the help of Almighty God, it's almost impossible to get those out. Seriously though, this Ridgid High Torque should be able to handle most other crank bolts. Thanks for watching.
Mine does 4 crack bolts so far.
Very identical to Milwaukee 2767 even the sound of motor...
Very true. Thanks for watching.
this or the Milwaukee 2767 I want to buy one or the other
That's a great question. Honestly, they're probably almost identical. I'd say to buy whichever that you may already have batteries and chargers for, and/or whichever has the better deal. Thanks for watching.
I click the link, but it doesn't work? Is there another option?
I figured it out, thanks!
I'm very sorry, it really shouldn't be that hard. The site is giving us a headache right now.
They did away with the octane line-up didn't they?
Yes but you can still get it. But they are 300.00 regular price now. And when they run out of stock the new version is not as powerful.
The link to he giveaway does not work. Fake ?
Chuck, we're very sorry. It's definitely not fake, we run these all the time, and the products are drop-shipped straight from the manufacturer. We just fixed this on the page. We placed a link in the page to Enter. There is supposed to be an App running in the page to take care of this, but it doesn't seem to be working. Sorry for the extra step, and sorry that it wasn't working. Thank you for letting us know.
I wish it was me the one that wins the impact
I'm sorry, the winner has already been chosen. Thank you for watching.
😄
Good review, like it has been stated: the link does not work.
Updated. It SHOULD be fixed now. So very sorry.
I work in a refinery and sometimes we have to unbolt 1 7/16 and they are all rusty bought this one. And man it makes milwaukee look bad
That's awesome. So glad it works for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Is this really stronger then Milwaukee?
@@Dotz155 yes
@@Dotz155 even when you have to use a 3/4 adapter it will take those nuts like nothing
Why don't you try b 16 bolts they are a lot harder and won't Gaul up
I can send you some 3/4 b17 bolts so that you wont strip them anymore.
I own everything Ridgid has to offer but man is that warranty misleading! "Take it to an authorized repair shop" is the typical bs i get unless it broke right after purchase. The repair shop says the same thing every time. "They dont make parts for that" so i send it back to Ridgid and guess what..... You have to go through the entire warranty process again but without proof of purchase. You'll be on the phone for over an hour to get your 100$ tool repaired! My biggest mistake was choosing the Ridgid line. Im done
Ridgid is a orange Wilwaukee
get at direct tools at 99 now
I don't know if people understand the significance of what you shared in your post! I saw that sale a bit too late. If I didn't have one I would have gone crazy that I missed that deal 😎
I really wanted to see that octain reach 1500 ft pounds .it was petted
Are you on tik too?
ingersoll is much better and easy to ues.
Ingersoll Rand has some great impact wrenches, and we've reviewed them. I would say that the Ridgid may have just as much power as the IR, and it's much cheaper. Thanks for watching
THING IS A STRAIGHT UP COPY OF THE REAL MILWAUKEE TORQUE WRENCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the company that makes milwaukee also make ryobi and rigid. Not 100% sure tho.
Yes it is a copy of Milwaukee. But that is a good thing and yes TTi owns them.
@@kartboarder22g17 SORRY I A LITTLE SLOW COULD YOU TELL ME HO IS TTi ?????
Not sure about that
Yes, TTi makes Ridgid Power Tools and they also own Milwaukee, Ryobi, Hart, and more.
This is not how you do a torque test 🤦♂️
We're just amateurs here. Show us, you will, Master Yoda.
Rigid doesn’t last and the warranty sucks just sayin
