RIDGID VS RYOBI 18V INFLATOR SHOOTOUT AND COMPARISON

hello everyone welcome back to all of you who are subscribed for any of you new viewers please take a moment to consider hitting that subscribe button and tapping the like button it really helps out the channel today we're going to be doing a test between two of home depot's most popular brands the ryobi versus ridgid who will win and it's coming up next so stay tuned [Music] first of all run over just a few basic details between the two the ryobi's model number p747 meanwhile the ridgid is model number r87044 both of these inflators feature battery operated power but the ridgid is also a hybrid that you can plug in right here and i believe the cord is 11 feet and it will plug into your cigarette lighter i've owned this ryobi for almost two years now it has worked flawlessly i use it all the time i was lucky enough to be able to borrow this rigid inflator from my dad he recently got this so we don't have too much time use on it so this is going to be my first comparison between the two i've only used this on a few occasions both of these tools offer auto shut off which allows you to set the tire pressure to a certain psi and then hit the start button and it will shut off when it reads the correct psi as you can see right here it's a digital gauge i understand in the camera for some reason it's not letting you see the psi number there i think you can see it right now anyways you can see how nice and small this little gauge is in order to change it all you do is hit this up the up button here you can set the psi hit start it'll shut off when you get to the psi that you want or you can hold the button in like that and you can manually fill this inflator also is a deflator the ryobi also has this added tube right here that you can plug in and you can either inflate or deflate air mattresses inner tubes whatever it is you would like the ridgid has a two inch digital display i like this display a lot better all you have to do is turn the dial right here you can see it says that you're on manual so all you do is pull the trigger or you can turn this way turn the psi up where you want you see how it says set to auto and then you pull the trigger and it will shut off when it gets to where it wants to go the ridgid is a inflator only both tools come with added accessories i do not like the way that these accessories are stored on the ryobi i have issues all the time with this piece right here falling out if anybody else has this problem let me know in the comments below i think ryobi should redesign this the railway has a 28 inch hose the ridgid has a 20 inch hose and it hooks on right there and it comes out one nice thing about the ridgid which i'm still kind of up in the air on i've had some issues and with a view a few valve stems and i've had other valve stem so it works perfectly fine but the connection on here is a quick connect so it is really nice you just stick it on there push this forward it locks right on pop it off slide it down and you can pull it off the ryobi has a little bit more of a traditional one where all you do is put it on the valve stem and you screw it on i like the fact that you screw this on all the way it's on there it takes a little more time i feel like in the long run this is going to be more reliable both of these inflators have 150 psi max pressure the ryobi comes with your standard three year warranty and the ridgid comes with the lifetime service agreement as long as you register it both the ryobi and the ridgid have a statement saying you can run the tool for five minutes straight and then you need to let the tool cool down for five minutes straight to allow the pump to cool otherwise my guess is it may not perform as good and you're probably going to prematurely wear the tool out myself personally i like the way this looks i like the fact that the battery hangs up on the bottom you got this little handle i like the carry bag that i have for it it's just a little ryobi bag that comes with their battery and charger set the ridgid has a nice feel i like the handle feels just like a rigid impact driver it's got that same texture to it gets a little flimsy in my opinion sitting up like this one nice feature about it is they have this flat end right here so you can set it down like that and then look right in the digital display when you are airing stuff up any of you have been watching my channel long enough know that i love to find out what the weight on each tool is so let's do it tool only on the ryobi two pounds 14.2 ounces tool only on the ridgid two pounds 5.2 ounces because i will be doing the test with both of both 3 amp hour batteries ryobi's high output 3 amp power which i believe is their top of the line battery as in the high output and the rigid octane 3 amp hour which i believe is their top of the line battery even though neither one of these tools to the best of my knowledge is able to utilize the extra technology for the power because the ryobi is a brushed and the rigid does not say that it's octane anywhere on it so i don't think it can use the max power from the battery let me know in the comments section below guys if i'm wrong on that 3 amp hour rigid battery 1.74 ounces and then the 3 amp hour ryobi one pound 10.6 ounces as expected at least for me anyways the ryobi is a heavier battery it's always been a downfall in my opinion i don't like the stick style but i totally get it because one of their commitments that ryobi has made is they will never change this battery style so you can always use their batteries no matter how old your tool is the way i'm going to do the test today is i've deflated my front tires on my truck down to 25 psi i think that is more of a real world scenario a lot of us who have these aren't going to go grab a completely flat tire and expect to blow it up to 40 psi in two minutes so tires are deflated to 25 psi we're going to blow them up to 35 psi which is what my half ton pickup truck is rated at we're going to see which one's faster i'm going to do the ryobi on one tire and then i'm going to go to the other tire and i'm going to do the ridgid that way it's as fair as possible let's get to it fully charged also fully charged they will each do a different tire to make this as fair as possible so this tire is at 25 psi i'm just using a performax digital tire and pressure to check it the next step will be to hook the ryobi entire inflator up and see what it reads for air pressure turn style where you just screw it onto the valve stem [Music] so all right time so for some reason my phone shut off in the middle of this i apologize guys um i started it right back up so you didn't miss anything but it looks like that it was right around three minutes and 57 seconds i'll have to review in the video to get the actual time now what we're going to do is we're going to check the tire pressure with the performax again and see exactly how accurate the ryobi is when it actually shut off versus what the tire pressure says 35 guys i'm definitely not going to complain about that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this tire inflator uh i've had this inflator now for i don't remember if i got this in the summer of 19 or the summer of 20. i'm pretty sure i got in the summer of 19 so we're looking at almost two years and this thing has worked flawlessly for me battery gauge is down to three bars so not very bad for four minutes of all right everyone so as you can see we're on the other side of the truck now we will once again check the tire pressure there we are at 25 and the ridgid has the push style and it's it's a quick connect i've got mixed thoughts on it i kind of like it and i kind of don't but all you do is push it in like that right there you push it in and then push that down and it locks on and the rigid all you do you got to hit the button first to turn it on and then it is also saying 25 psi so both of these seem to be fairly accurate in terms of my gauge versus what they say so now this is a twist dial and you can see how it says set auto mode so we are going to too far turn that up to 35 psi this one is not as friendly for filming purposes i had to readjust the camera i think we're okay now i'll turn this up to 35 psi and i will do my best to hit the start button at the same time [Music] [Applause] all right as you can see this was a lot faster i believe 353 minutes and 56 seconds was somewhere around where the rayobi was this minute 52 that's significantly faster in my opinion however i'm not sure if you guys could tell but the ridgid seemed a lot louder there is a downfall we will do a decibel test here real shortly take the quick connect pull up pull off how accurate is it so the ridgid is at 34. the ryobi was at 35 so the ryobi does seem to be a little more accurate and that is actually something that i've noticed over the course of me using this i blew five tires up on my trailer and every time i blew the tire up it was it was off just a little bit and i i've noticed that the ryobi seems to have a lot more accuracy at least in my opinion maybe you guys are having different um experiences with this one of the ryobi so let me know down in the comments below if you seem to be finding the same things that i am if you noticed how once ridgid did start to get closer to the pressure you heard it made a quieter sound you know the sound went down as it must have been backing off so it didn't over inflate and maybe that's part of the reason why it seemed to under inflate and then as you can see the rigid battery also down one bar so the exact same as the ryobi so as you can see the normal noise is somewhere in the 38 to 45 range [Music] the ryobi is right between 89 and 90.2 decibels we'll keep the rigid in the same spot have the sound meter in the same spot 94.8 and to be honest when you're standing here the ridgid sounds a lot louder all right guys that was interesting what did you guys think i am thoroughly shocked i'll have to go back and double check on the times in the video basically the ridgid was twice as fast as the ryobi to me that's amazing bridget has claims out there that they have one of or the fastest 18 volt inflator on the market and it appears they did when it comes to sound the ryobi is roughly four decibels quieter i'm kind of wondering if the reason the ryobi is four decibels quieter is because the rigid is pumping more air out faster if you're in a hurry obviously we all know you're gonna get that tire blown up a lot faster and at the same time you're going to be able to blow up more tires or put more air in a tire with the ridgid than you are with the ryobi in the five minute interval periods that they give you both batteries used one notch so it seems like we're pretty even there so then when you want to get down to the price aspect the ridgid retails for 69 at home depot the ryobi retails for 49.97 i know that this is currently on sale at the home depot for 39.97 so you really got to ask yourselves if you're on both platforms is the performance and the extra noise worth the extra 30 or do you want to save that 30 and you want to get the slower quieter yet able to deflate option that's up to you that's something you guys are going to have to make thank you guys for watching and we'll see you on the next one
