That's one way to look at it. The other is that it drastically outcompetes anything in the price range, and in their 3rd place, it contends well against the $540 SnapOn for less than 1/3 the price. Quite simply, it is the best value torque wrench in the entire market.
To anyone who's fought (mechanically) with Honda crankshaft bolts: I recently used my Octane version of this unit with the 3AH Octane battery and a heavy duty ("weighted") 19mm socket. I yanked that bolt in like 3 seconds, caught it on video. 😉

I bought this kit at this price on March 7th. As someone mentioned in the previous post, they are going in the direction of lighter, smaller tools. The new gun is rated at 1300 ft.-lbs. while this Octane model is rated at 1500 ft.-lbs.
This has been discontinued, so once stock is sold, it's gone.

Are the specs available on the newer version? Personally, smaller, lighter @ 1300 lbs works "for me". That being said, this is a good deal and tempting with that 4ah Max bat.

Yes, new one is rated at 1300 ft.-lbs. For some it might make the most sense.
I already have the subcompact and midtorque. The only reason I have the high torque is for extreme cases, so it will almost never be used, but if it has to come out, I want as much torque as it can possibly muster. I'm also a fan of over built for durability.

I was interested in the dimensions and weight of the new version?
I also have the sub compact - great tool with a 4ah or larger bat. Depending on the size of the new version, I may forgo a mid size trq wrench. The sub puts out some juice and with a lighter, smaller, high trq they would provide the range of power needed, "for me".
Would be good to see how well the new model does. Torque test shows this beast does not reach advertised torque levels…

Very few brands do match their torque claims. Torque test channel raves about this impact in particular. It's made by the same company as milwaukee and outpaces the m18 fuel 1/2" despite milwaukee being their premium line and $300 for just the tool. For $200 with a "max output" 4 amp battery you're simply not going to find a better half inch for the money. This thing is insane for the price and makes it pointless for people to buy the milwaukee, which is probably the reason their next gen is a downgrade.
If you need a high torque buy this tool now, because when its gone its gone. I regretted not buying it last time but now they seemed to have packaged it with the better battery so I guess I'm ok with it.

I own this one already. I think it is a great tool.
I just don't think people should rave about the advertised torque spec when it doesn't really get there…or speculate about the new tool's actual torque because we have no idea what it is.

I don't think people are raving about what's on the box. They're raving about its performance compared to its competitors. All signs point to Octane in general being higher quality tools than ridgid's next generation until they start releasing whatever they'll call the boosted octanesque version of the max output tools.
So considering they've been selling these tools at dirt cheap prices compared to their competitors, its probably the best bang for your buck battery platform to buy into until they stop selling octane. It's just unfortunate they sold out of octane batteries a while ago.

You are right. They are ranting about the advertised spec of the new tool. If new one meets advertised torque, won't it beat the octane?
Torque Test did find some tools that met or marginally exceeded advertised spec.
Speculation always carries some risk. Just talking about that risk. I am on board with this being a great tool. I own one. 🤷

It's just doubtful they're going to revise their in house testing standards to make their tools look worse but who knows. Their new batteries perform worse on octane tools than the octane batteries, which is where most people are getting the idea that max output will be worse. It's obviously all speculation until we get some testable tools.
It's mainly that it just sorta makes sense for them to give the stiff arm to ridgid in order to prop milwaukee up. With octane they've managed to reel in the DIYer market, but by making them competitive with milwaukee at half the price they're also starting to see the big spender professionals switch to Ridgid which was probably not the intent.
We'll see. For now I'm just pretty stoked to actually be able to afford some quality cordless tools. I was hoping Kobalt would expand their XTR line up but FLEX seemed to put a stop to that. Ridgid is about the same level as XTR with a better warranty and it's been going on sale a ton so... why not.

If this tool being discontinued does this mean Octane batteries are too? Meaning when this one fails and it's replaced under warranty it will be non-Octane? If so, any idea what the spec then becomes?
