The high torque octane was over rated based on a actual performance. The new high torque is more accurately rated, which is lower but comparable to the actual results of the high torque octane.
The mid torque octane is rated lower than the new mid torque and the new one performed better.
Both new models are smaller/lighter due to higher RPM. Id go for the newer models personally.
I mean options are a $108 newer mid torque that is smaller/lighter, a $120 high torque octane. That is larger/heavier than the new high torque. Both from DTO. Or a new high torque for $160 with 4Amp max battery and charger from home Depot with some return bother.
Thanks, but I'm already aware of all this. I own the new high impact as well as the older Octane mid torque. I have not had to use the high torque for anything yet, might never need it as the Octane has gotten me through for about 4-5 years and I've used the heck out of it replacing complete suspensions, steering components, spindle nuts, exhausts, etc. I only picked up the high torque because someone on Marketplace was selling a slightly used one for $100.

This is a hot take and solid advice. The octane does high higher working torque with a somewhat used battery but with a fresh battery they are very close. Within 1-2% if I recall. Once the batteries get drained the higher weight hammer @ lower rpm will allow for higher numbers - but honestly you're probably going to pull this out for one or two bolts and that's it.
Giving me some buyers remorse since I ordered the octane. I'll have to think on it - I'm sure DTO could cancel the order as well.

Understood. This was not directed at you. Obviously if you have those then there is no reason to change you are covered. I meant to summerize the three available options for new rigid buyers looking for an impact wrench. There are currently three on sale. However if the old octane met all your needs... And the new mid torque is close... I'm still trying to decide. Northeast so lots of corrosion. But do I really need the high torque or will it just snap bolt? Although sometimes I want to snap a bolt.
I have this....look at it like me - if for some reason you'd need to bring your car to the mechanic for a bolt that you can't get loose then you will break even with this. I love it

You sold me on the new model and you're unsure?
In reality, unless you already have an octane battery or a max output the newer model for 157 is a better deal I think.

Vs the old octane for the high torque? I think I'd go the new model considering how close they are and checking torque test channel. I wouldn't replace one if I had one though.
My main debate is if the mid torque for $108 front DTO would be better for most uses than the high torque with battery for the $160. I care about rusted to hell bolts on the suspension mostly. Or the exhaust. There's only so many places you can fit an impact wrench and those are the good ones. The old craftsman C3 can spin lug nuts just fine so I don't need a new one for that

No one has ever said they had too much torque. I think the newer high torque is a good middle ground. It's in the middle of the octane and the new mid torque in terms of size and weight. If you were going to buy one i'd say get one of the high impacts. The extra power gives you some extra wiggle room with if you use an extension or swivel. If you do get the mid torque you will 100% need the octane or max output battery for it to be sufficient.
I own both versions of the heavy duty impact (model numbers R86211 and R86212). Both are more than enough for the average home mechanic. In fact, I purchased another for my son, the automotive tech and he raves about it when he uses it at his shop.
What I don't understand is the lack of love for the 3/8" and 1/2" stubby impacts (models R87207 and R87208). In my humble opinion, these tools have MUCH more utility than the heavy-duty impacts ever will. They are so much more versatile than their larger cousin. HD is currently selling them for $91 and $99 respectively. They can be picked up (with free shipping) at DTO now for a fraction of that price.

The newer mid-torque give you an impressive 150 ft⋅lb extra over the Octane mid-torque in real-world break-away testing per Shop Tool Reviews Youtube channel. Plus it's smaller. Seems like a happy medium. BTW, I own about 15 Ridgid batteries and I've only ever used a 4.0 Ah with my Octane mid-torque. I'm sure I can get a bit more torque out of it if I used one of my 6.0 Ah or 8.0 Ah batteries, but so far I haven't needed to try.
*It is a good deal for who have Octane battery; specificaly the 3ah one (is the ONLY one has 21700 cells, the 2ah, 6ah etc...are not 21700)
On the TTC, it max at 791 ft/lb with the 3ah octane for the 15 seconds run.
When he used the regular Rigid battery (non 3ah octane or non max output), it max about 425 ft/lb 10 to 15 seconds one (he wrote "Nope")
*This is for the R86211.
I am interested to the R86212 model (the one on this thread). Is this the lowest price ever seen?
Anyone remember the $109 deal for the three pack, a 3AH, 6AH, and 9AH? I bought three packs and kept them in the box for the couple of years it's been; one of the 3AH was dead out of the box, but the 9AH ones sell on EBAY for $350+ easy. In the fall, I put the first one up for $375, it was sold in two days to some construction dude. Put up the others, the longest one was about five days ...
Can anybody please confirm that factory blemished is still covered by LSA?
***yes. IF you have an octane battery (specifically the 3ah one), it is match with this tool. Based on the TTC, it will be about 800 ft/lb for 15 seconds (no, it is NOT 1,500ft/ lb) All others Ridgid batteries (included the max out, will be less (the regular 4ah ridgid is the worst one)

The mid torque octane is rated lower than the new mid torque and the new one performed better.
Both new models are smaller/lighter due to higher RPM. Id go for the newer models personally.
