Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ruclips.net/user/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.
Automotive tech here and my entire shop uses Ryobi 1/4" impacts, the older basic model. Once on person got one, all 4 techs had to have their own. Our very first one just got retired from about 5 years of daily use and abuse and got cannibalised for parts. It only got retired because the gear train got sloppy, still worked all the way to the end! We've only had 1 battery fail out of the 8 that we have. The other brands, Matika, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch, they simply don't hold up nearly as well. And having most of our electric tools on the same battery platform is very convenient. Just the other day I threw away our graveyard of Makita power tools that didn't last nearly that long. Being a Ryobi fan, I'm NOT excited for this new impact. I worry about their reliability compared to the older models with all those fancy features, and they no longer sell the old model. I like the power and the new motor design, but I really don't want the power level mode button on the 3/8' or the lights on all new models. I couldn't care less if it was smaller, the old one was a perfect size. In fact, it might be too small, causing me to use an extension when I didn't need to before as the anvil is almost flush with the front of the battery. I just want simple. Simple doesn't break. I also wish that Ryobi would introduce a new compact battery. I would assume that it would not be too difficult to make a battery with a smaller profile that still snaps into tools that use the regular battery, maybe with a cheap adapter.
Wow, that's some great insight and thanks for sharing. I'm like you, especially on my impacts, I like simple. I let my finger do the feathering of the throttle for how much power that I need. But, many new users like these newer features, so I understand where Ryobi (TTi) needs to change. I do wonder what Ryobi is going to do with the battery...it's getting quite old. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Interestingly I made a post about the battery on Reddit complaining how they don't have a real competitive cordless ratchet and talked about how it would be possible to update the battery into a more compact form while still keeping compatibility with their current batteries. A Ryobi representative replied and said that there is no guarantees, but it has been brought up before in regards to their compact tools in internal meetings. Very interesting, hopefully they can figure out a way to offer that to the market!
This one is probably for your average joe to keep in the trunk of their small sedan to do a quick tire change when needed. They have a compact 1/2" not much bigger than this that's got more juice, a mid torque 1/2" that'll handle pickup lug nuts with ease, and a mammoth of a high torque with near double the mid torque's power.
I am currently using to the compact ryobi tools for over head door installation. We do residential and heavy on the commercial side. It’s a lot of nuts and bolts and drilling through steel and using self tapping screws through steel. Everyone I work with uses dewalt and Milwaukee. Everyone has talked crap but has been impressed by the ryobi compact tools, we will see if they hold up.
That's awesome to hear. We love hearing from users and the brands they use. We also love to hear that the RYOBI stuff is actually in the Professional field as well. We know it is, but it's great to get confirmation. Thanks for watching.
Used my $199 Ryobi combo kit to build decks for 6 years and sold it for more than I paid in perfect working condition. Ryobi impact wrenches are absolutely excellent. I have this one and the P262, the perfect combo. Next is the 3/8 extended ratchet.
Your method of testing is one of the 2 best testing I see of the multiple RUclips testers I've seen and enjoy watching. This is 1st time I've heard the term "Entry Level Pro". I suppose as in an "apprentice".
I was awaiting this review. I plan on kicking it a$$ at work. It’s a 3/8. Perfect for inframe fasteners for air lines and wiring brackets and brake pod swaps when only needed to remove the piggyback. I plan on buying only when Ryobi makes it a bundle with a battery as I need a battery upgrade. I use Milwaukee 1/2 mid range daily. Love it. But I wanna give the brand I love to hate a professional try. Great review hit all the rights spots.
As long as the battery length doesn't extend past past the front of the implement on the tool, I like that I can use my old batteries. Plus I like when a tool can stand on its battery and not have to be laid down.
I picked up the cuttoff tool and the grease gun. To be honest I'm amazed now at the quality of the lower end tools now. I have quite a few kobalt 24 max tools and they work great for the price. The ryobi seems the same way. I wish kobalt would build a 3/4 or 1 inch cordless gun though. The milwaukee looks awesome but the 1300 bucks makes me cringe a bit,lol.
You are correct. We talk around here all the time about how entry-level tools are as powerful, many times more powerful, than the top Pro versions just a few years ago. Kobalt has some great new tools, but I'm not sure they're interested in jumping into that Commercial (3/4" and 1") category for impacts. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Ryobi, will never dominate or compete because of ownership. This will take away from the fan base. Remember tou get what you pay for,nothings is free..
Mark Fernandes yeah you're right but affordability beats everything Look at harbor freight 👀 snap on & Milwaukee fan boys all have some HF tools and 20% off coupons 😂😂😂😂
The Ryobi can definitely bust more nuts than the Dewalt 902 (with 2ah battery). The new 5ah on the DeWalt 12v tools including the 902 impact makes a similar difference in power. I guessed 20% on mine, and based in this test, that's in the ballpark. -It must be frustrating to be a Ryobi One + tool design engineer, having to just accept that Russian tractor of a battery. There's really no possibility of a "compact" Ryobi cordless tool.
Yes, the Ryobi One+ 18V platform is stuck with that large post battery. At the same time, that's what they brag about, that all their tools will still fit the oldest and newest battery. Thanks for watching.
This is the only video that demonstrates the difference between the two batteries, that I can find anyway. Important because those 4.0 batteries are EXPENSIVE, and I needed to know if a lightweight DIY like me that does tire rotations, etc., can get by with the smaller one.
Thanks for the kind reply. If you do a lot of tire rotations, then I'd probably recommend a larger impact with 1/2" anvil. This 3/8" will do it, if the lugs aren't rusty or on too tight, but it will struggle if they are. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
The batteries that come with those tools are not the HP battery which has one extra connector on it that tells the brushless tools to increase the power as the drain increases that is why you sad a 20% more increase in power. It was nice that Ryobi sent you them to test hopefully you'll continue doing the test on the rest of the series
All my Ryobi tools all the way back from the dark blue set still work strong and they have been used a lot. The blue impact driver is actually stronger then the newer green model I have. The battery design is a limitation on design aspects yes but in reality the contact area for the terminals is about the same as others.
I see ryobi finally changing their battery soon. Especially with much batteries in general have changed I think most of their customers including me would be fine. That is as long as we are gaining a large benefit like a much smaller battery.
I doubt it. Ryobi's selling point has always been it's One+ battery system, and has been touted by the company many times over that any One+ battery will work on any One+ tool. That's what helped sell me on jumping onto their platform. I can't stand how other brands change their battery systems every few years. It's nice to know that one battery style will support all of my tools, be they brand new, or 15 years old, or as yet to come out. Plus, if you're after the slide style batteries, TTI has RIDGID and Milwaukee to cover those bases.
Would be interesting if you could do a video about how much torque is reduced by using an adapter. Maybe use a nut size that's smaller where sockets are available in both 3/8" and 1/2" drives.
This is even repeatable in the older brushed stuff. The bigger makes better battery pack. Though using anything beyond a 6Ah on the older brushed stuff is likely to greatly shorten of said tool. You mentioned something like what I learned as a young man, proper tool for the proper job. That's not to say that I don't well enjoy the punishment you put tools you're evaluating through. I appreciate all the sacrificial Hex-drive adapters you go through inflicting brutality on your test subjects.
ill never understand why anyone would want or need a compact impact wrench. what we need is a full-sized brushless 1/2 to replace the current brushed model
Many many many people want compact impact wrenches. Smaller and lighter to do the most common jobs. Yes, we also agree that Ryobi needs to have a brushless 1/2" High-Torque Impact as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I believe the impact gun will torque even higher if the anvil reaches max rpm before hitting the wall. I would of also liked to see tightening torque on the other 3 power settings, auto included.
Ryobi days had a nice sale over the summer. Buy the 2 battery and charger pack for 99 and get a free tool (79 or less). I picked up two of the battery packs and got a palm router and orbit sander for free.
They are definitely not here in the Michigan stores or on line. I went on Live Chat on the Home Depot site and the only thing I was told was they are out of stock and they don't know when they will be back in stock or in the stores. One would think that they would know more about a complete new tool line. I have 21 Ryobi 18 volt tools now and I wonder if I buy 21 of the new compact tools will Ryobi come up with a whole new line in a couple years. I do love these tools but like you said most of them run better on the larger batteries.
I do know that some of the stores are having trouble keeping them in stock, and even online they're selling out pretty quickly as they receive shipments.We'll check with Ryobi and see what they say.
Mine will take off lug nuts tightened to 80 ft-lbs with some struggling, 19mm socket. Curiously it will NOT remove a T50 torx tightened to 45ft*lb. I think the tool size has more to do with it than you’d think. Of course that was using an aftermarket 3ah battery. Which probably isn’t really 3ah.
I bought it for the size for right areas I’ve got an air impact that’s plenty powerful but it’s pretty damn large and heavy as hell for anything under the car besides control arms etc. between that electric ratchets, breaker bars it makes life alot easier having various sizes for different things.
Ryobi sent them to him to get tested they're on the Home Depot website but not for purchase yet until the middle of this month will be in stores in September
What are the ones selling right now then? I was at home depot today, but wasn't sure about what was for sale because only the price is on the tag and the boxes are all locked up since its ghetto here. No associates around to ask either.
@@yootoobactnameyoo5221 the new line is called "one hp " so far the only ones that are for sale online right now is the right angle drill (tool only) $99.00 and the 1/2 drill driver kit $129.00 here is the link for the rest of them.www.homedepot.com/collection/Tools/NEW-RYOBI-ONE+-HP-Brushless-Compact-Series/Family-314465088
Shop Tool Reviews one thing I want to know is the vibration. It was very noticeable on the ridgid cut off tool, so I am hoping ryobi is not the case. The M12 cut off tool has very little vibration.
Good video. But how do you have all these tools everywhere. And you didnt use a HP battery with the HP ryobi. Idk if that would make a difference. But it would have been a nice to see.
The newer HP batteries are rebranded as older high performance batteries. No change just rebranded they both have the extra contacts that normal lithium don't have cheers.
I realize this is an older video, and maybe you've explained this in other videos, but what is the 0.8 factor for when trying to calculate fastening torque?
We understand what you are saying, but I bet that marketing would not like the way the tool looks. Also, the tool probably wouldn't stand on its own and just fall over.
The HP technology in the HP batteries are now in the tool for this new line of tools. So any battery you use on these tools will all act as if they were HP batteries.
A lot of people asking, why would i buy this if i already have (insert another brand here) and lets be completely honest, if you already have an impact wrench that works for your application it still wouldn't be worth spending your money regardless of how powerful or compact it would be to replace a tool that already gets the job done.
I do see your point, but I'll have to disagree...let me explain. Let's say you have a 1/2" High Torque impact wrench that puts out 850 ft-lbs of force and weighs 8-pounds. Sure, it will do every job you need to do, but you're always carrying that 8-pounds. If 80% of the jobs you do could be done with an impact that weighs less than 3-pounds, then it probably makes a lot of sense. Of course, you have to take in consideration your budget and your needs, but there is an opportunity for compact tools like this impact.
@@Shoptoolreviews Sorry i wasn't very clear, I meant specifically those saying why would i buy this if I already have another brand's compact or sub compact impact wrench. Which i dont think there is any good reason to pay for a different brand's compact impact wrench if you already have a working one. The differences between brands are largely not really worth the extra cost of investing into a new battery system and or tool for a little more torque or a tiny bit less weight when you already have a plenty powerful light weight one.
I'm new to impact wrenches and trying to use one of these for tire change. Can the impact wrench strip the lug nuts? When I tried to loose the lug nuts, before it fully loosen, you can hear it working, and I am so afraid that it strip the lug nuts. Is that possible?
Would really appreciate your opinion on which drill driver/impact combo you would buy. The ryobi hp, dewalt atomic, makita lxt, Milwaukee M18, or rigid? I know some are brushless and some aren’t, but they’re all around $150 and it’s so hard to know which direction to go.
It really depends on what you're using it for. If it's purely DIY and home stuff, then I'd probably stick with the Ryobi or Ridgid. Find the best deal you can. I would stick with brushless, if you can. Brushless definitely makes a difference with Drills and Impact Drivers; other tools, not so much. If you're using them for Professional work, then I'd lean to the Milwaukee, Makita, or DeWalt. Thanks for watching.
We didn't test the auto mode. The Auto mode is not measuring torque, it just senses when momentum shifts, therefore triggering to stop or slow down. Thanks for watching.
Cost. It would be too expensive to make. If the wires twisted with the battery, the wires would break in a month. If you have spring-loaded brass contacts on a track, this would be too expensive to make.
I can't read the battery label from all the moving, but are you using the HP version of the battery. Because that battery lineup I believe gives more power.
You are correct that 4:00 amp hour battery that he put in is the high-performance battery which has the extra connector in it to communicate with the brushless tools to increase the power as he noted there is a 20% increase when that battery was applied
A week ago, I bought a Kobalt impact wrench; But now, watching this video, I don't know if the purchase was a good one, or if on the contrary I should decide on the Dewalt brand. What do you suggest for me?
You can definitely go that route of using your impact driver for doing bigger jobs. As a DIY or occasional use as a Pro, that's fine. If you're a mechanic, removing larger fasteners frequently, I'd recommend an actual impact wrench. The larger anvil, be it 3/8" or 1/2" will make a difference, especially over time.
As I’m watching this video and I’m seeing the new lineup from Ryobi they have copy the same thing that Milwaukee has Milwaukee has the same lineup and someone from Ryobi must’ve seen this and said let’s do the same thing now my only concern is why don’t they put the power to it well I mean add more power Tim from Canada this is my review on what I have seen so far I have Ryobi tools and I have you some other ones from other brands I’m hoping this new lineup from Ryobi they put more power into what they are doing
@@Shoptoolreviews thank you l came from vietnam and also had a passion for the machine and I also sold this line to return but didn't look up the specifications of the machine
@@19donnie77 We don't have a review on that, although we should. We've used that in the shop for years. Proto is a more industrial brand from Stanley Black & Decker (DeWalt, MAC Tools, Stanley, Craftsman, etc.), so I doubt you will find it for sale online.
@@Shoptoolreviews basically I'm looking for a decent torque wrench that's reliable and not crazy high and not that much of a hassle getting recalibrated.
I would not recommend a compact impact wrench for changing tires. However, it could do it if the lugs were tightened to spec and not over-tightened or rusty. Thanks for watching.
I paid $120 for my m12 3/8 stubby impact with a 6ah battery......both brand new in box. The Milwaukee m12 3/8” impact does better than my Ryobi 18v 1/2 impact with a 4ah battery.....
Probably fine for a lot of passenger cars. If you're doing a lot of wheel changes, or if you're messing with trucks, then I'd step up to the 1/2" impact. Thanks for watching.
Why does everyone say any tool works with any batter? They don’t!!! Very single tool has certain battery models they work with, if you use a different battery than recommended in the manual it could ruin the tool and they wont replace it under warranty because you didn’t use the recommended batteries. For instance I just bought the p261 1/2” wrench and I have to return it because all my batteries are the hp battery type and are not compatible, they told me it could catch fire, and no warranty because you used a battery not specified. Any tool does not work with any battery, lies by ryobi.
if your job is to review tools and you are testing breaking strength, you need to have the proper size socket. I'm so tired of seeing videos of people using adapter over adapter. And they do make the sockets to do this in 3/8, you just dont have them.
We'd really appreciate it if you could find us a 33mm 3/8" drive deep-well socket. I'm sure it's because we lack the knowledge in finding tools. In all seriousness, if it made a difference, we would have one made. Our point here is, if you are buying any impact tool to consistently use in the top 10% of its capability, then it's the wrong tool for the job. Thanks for watching.
Yes, it actually did quite a bit, and we were pushing it harder that it should be for a 160 ft-lbs impact. If we were running in 15mm or 9/16" bolts, it probably wouldn't flinch.
Dude, half your video is saying the same thing twice. You stand at the desk and talk about it being 3/8th inch, and the battery foot print and how you think its going to be nut busting torque, then you go to the test bench and repeat all of it. I know for you its been hours or maybe days since you filmed the bench segment, but you really don't need to repeat the whole thing.
Lol. Dude, you could have stopped watching after the first time we said it. Just kidding. We've tried to get better at this over the past year. It really boils down to the old logic of giving speeches and the sandwich principle (bread-meat-bread). Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them. This was good logic because people don't typically listen; however, it doesn't translate the best for video/reviews. Thanks for watching...even it was redundantly redundant.

At first the opening impacts reminded me of the opening to summer in the city.
Only fair review I’ve seen. Thanks
Thank you very much.
Good video, answered everything I wanted to know. Home depot is selling complete kits for 107.00
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I am stoked for this tool
It's a pretty cool tool.
Would be interesting if you could do a video about how much torque is reduced by using an adapter. Maybe use a nut size that's smaller where sockets are available in both 3/8" and 1/2" drives.
Torque test channel has all of the info on extensions and such
It doesn’t really change anything.
I wish they would make a new battery format with adapter for backwards compatibility, and slowly transition to the new system over 10 years.
This is even repeatable in the older brushed stuff. The bigger makes better battery pack. Though using anything beyond a 6Ah on the older brushed stuff is likely to greatly shorten of said tool.
You mentioned something like what I learned as a young man, proper tool for the proper job.
That's not to say that I don't well enjoy the punishment you put tools you're evaluating through. I appreciate all the sacrificial Hex-drive adapters you go through inflicting brutality on your test subjects.
For DIY I think this will do just fine but if its only $40 difference between the 1/2 I will buy the 1/2 when it comes out. Great review! 👏 👏 👏
Great point! Thanks for watching.

Many many many people want compact impact wrenches. Smaller and lighter to do the most common jobs. Yes, we also agree that Ryobi needs to have a brushless 1/2" High-Torque Impact as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Shop Tool Reviews that’s what your everyday impact driver with an adapter is for 🤷🏻♂️
The lithium plus hp battery would give you more output. The battery designed for this line, was released and pushed specifically for brushless tools
I was about to ask why he didn't use the hp battery with the bigger cells?
I believe the impact gun will torque even higher if the anvil reaches max rpm before hitting the wall. I would of also liked to see tightening torque on the other 3 power settings, auto included.
That would be cheating the torque numbers and then there's really no base to compare against. That number will always be eratic.
Why do they need to change the battery terminals to have a different foot print on it? Seems there’s plenty of change possible while maintaining that
Good video. You can see the upgrade on Ryobi's HP tools what you don't see is the new HP price.
$119 for the bare tool. Thanks for watching.
Selling HP tools in a kit without an HP battery is a crime.
Great Review what about 3ah that was made for the new BRUSHLESS line.
That would be a great battery for this as well.
You have a great channel man!
Thank you ver much.
Great review, thanks
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful and thanks for the feedback.
Ryobi days had a nice sale over the summer. Buy the 2 battery and charger pack for 99 and get a free tool (79 or less). I picked up two of the battery packs and got a palm router and orbit sander for free.
That's an awesome deal. they definitely run deals from time to time when you can save a lot of money. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cool video thanks for the upload
Be a nice project if ya added a second row for smaller drive test for accuracy.
Good idea! Thanks for watching.
I don't understand why he isn't testing it with the HP batteries from Ryobi.
They are definitely not here in the Michigan stores or on line. I went on Live Chat on the Home Depot site and the only thing I was told was they are out of stock and they don't know when they will be back in stock or in the stores. One would think that they would know more about a complete new tool line. I have 21 Ryobi 18 volt tools now and I wonder if I buy 21 of the new compact tools will Ryobi come up with a whole new line in a couple years. I do love these tools but like you said most of them run better on the larger batteries.
I do know that some of the stores are having trouble keeping them in stock, and even online they're selling out pretty quickly as they receive shipments.We'll check with Ryobi and see what they say.
Use a 6ah or 9ah HP battery and see what the figures are , the HP batteries work better again in the brushless ryobi tools
I bet those numbers would go up even more if you used the proper new HP batteries that go with the HP tools.
excellent.thank you.
Mine will take off lug nuts tightened to 80 ft-lbs with some struggling, 19mm socket. Curiously it will NOT remove a T50 torx tightened to 45ft*lb. I think the tool size has more to do with it than you’d think. Of course that was using an aftermarket 3ah battery. Which probably isn’t really 3ah.
I bought it for the size for right areas I’ve got an air impact that’s plenty powerful but it’s pretty damn large and heavy as hell for anything under the car besides control arms etc. between that electric ratchets, breaker bars it makes life alot easier having various sizes for different things.
Ryobi is nice , I chose it over milwaukee because of price. I am professional, only real draw back is no real pack out boxes... sad
Yeah, good point. I know Ridgid had some boxes, but Ryobi hasn't gotten there yet. Thanks again for watching.
😱😱😱 how did you get all of those
Ryobi sent them to him to get tested they're on the Home Depot website but not for purchase yet until the middle of this month will be in stores in September
What are the ones selling right now then? I was at home depot today, but wasn't sure about what was for sale because only the price is on the tag and the boxes are all locked up since its ghetto here. No associates around to ask either.
@@yootoobactnameyoo5221 the new line is called "one hp " so far the only ones that are for sale online right now is the right angle drill (tool only) $99.00 and the 1/2 drill driver kit $129.00 here is the link for the rest of them.www.homedepot.com/collection/Tools/NEW-RYOBI-ONE+-HP-Brushless-Compact-Series/Family-314465088
God, can you please review the impact driver and drill? and compare the 3 inch against the ridgid
Definitely reviewing all the tools. 3" Cut Off tool is next, then impact driver and drill.
Shop Tool Reviews one thing I want to know is the vibration. It was very noticeable on the ridgid cut off tool, so I am hoping ryobi is not the case. The M12 cut off tool has very little vibration.
Good video. But how do you have all these tools everywhere. And you didnt use a HP battery with the HP ryobi. Idk if that would make a difference. But it would have been a nice to see.
The newer HP batteries are rebranded as older high performance batteries. No change just rebranded they both have the extra contacts that normal lithium don't have cheers.
My experience with bigger batteries is BOTH more grunt AND longer run time.
I realize this is an older video, and maybe you've explained this in other videos, but what is the 0.8 factor for when trying to calculate fastening torque?
You only need 80% of the torque to break a fastener loose versus how much torque you'd need to tighten it to that level.
Beautiful!😁😁😁
Thank you! 😊
I’d like to see Ryobi flip the battery around on these impacts to give more room towards the fastener
We understand what you are saying, but I bet that marketing would not like the way the tool looks. Also, the tool probably wouldn't stand on its own and just fall over.
Shop Tool Reviews true sir
Shouldn't you be resting it with an HP battery too? As far as I know, Ryobi's brushless tools have more power if you use an HP battery.
I tested it with the 1.5Ah batteries that come in a kit with the HP Drill and Impact Driver. I also tested it with the 4Ah HP Lithium+ battery.
The HP technology in the HP batteries are now in the tool for this new line of tools. So any battery you use on these tools will all act as if they were HP batteries.
For the smaller battery moment u made at about 430, do u mean something like how Milwaukee has the m18 and m12?
A lot of people asking, why would i buy this if i already have (insert another brand here) and lets be completely honest, if you already have an impact wrench that works for your application it still wouldn't be worth spending your money regardless of how powerful or compact it would be to replace a tool that already gets the job done.
I do see your point, but I'll have to disagree...let me explain. Let's say you have a 1/2" High Torque impact wrench that puts out 850 ft-lbs of force and weighs 8-pounds. Sure, it will do every job you need to do, but you're always carrying that 8-pounds. If 80% of the jobs you do could be done with an impact that weighs less than 3-pounds, then it probably makes a lot of sense. Of course, you have to take in consideration your budget and your needs, but there is an opportunity for compact tools like this impact.
@@Shoptoolreviews Sorry i wasn't very clear, I meant specifically those saying why would i buy this if I already have another brand's compact or sub compact impact wrench. Which i dont think there is any good reason to pay for a different brand's compact impact wrench if you already have a working one. The differences between brands are largely not really worth the extra cost of investing into a new battery system and or tool for a little more torque or a tiny bit less weight when you already have a plenty powerful light weight one.
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the reply.
I'm new to impact wrenches and trying to use one of these for tire change. Can the impact wrench strip the lug nuts? When I tried to loose the lug nuts, before it fully loosen, you can hear it working, and I am so afraid that it strip the lug nuts. Is that possible?
Would really appreciate your opinion on which drill driver/impact combo you would buy. The ryobi hp, dewalt atomic, makita lxt, Milwaukee M18, or rigid? I know some are brushless and some aren’t, but they’re all around $150 and it’s so hard to know which direction to go.
It really depends on what you're using it for. If it's purely DIY and home stuff, then I'd probably stick with the Ryobi or Ridgid. Find the best deal you can. I would stick with brushless, if you can. Brushless definitely makes a difference with Drills and Impact Drivers; other tools, not so much. If you're using them for Professional work, then I'd lean to the Milwaukee, Makita, or DeWalt. Thanks for watching.
Just bought one
Awesome, I hope you like it.
How torque loss do you figure the 3/8 to 1/2" adapter causes?
We will be doing a video on this exact topic in the coming days. Thanks for watching.
What was the average torque when in the Auto mode? - thanks
We didn't test the auto mode. The Auto mode is not measuring torque, it just senses when momentum shifts, therefore triggering to stop or slow down. Thanks for watching.
i would pay more for a digital torque ratio setting for cars ?
Why don't they make the battery rotate at bottom all four directions ? Would solve battery in tight places with room
Cost. It would be too expensive to make. If the wires twisted with the battery, the wires would break in a month. If you have spring-loaded brass contacts on a track, this would be too expensive to make.
Are these High Performance Batters or High Capacity Batteries?
I can't read the battery label from all the moving, but are you using the HP version of the battery. Because that battery lineup I believe gives more power.
You are correct that 4:00 amp hour battery that he put in is the high-performance battery which has the extra connector in it to communicate with the brushless tools to increase the power as he noted there is a 20% increase when that battery was applied
I was specifically using the 1.5Ah batteries that are kitted with the new One+ HP tools.
A week ago, I bought a Kobalt impact wrench; But now, watching this video, I don't know if the purchase was a good one, or if on the contrary I should decide on the Dewalt brand. What do you suggest for me?
If you bought the Kobalt, that's a good choice, nothing wrong there. Which model did you buy? Thanks for watching.
Thank you. It's a Kobalt, model 80728.
My Rigid Gen 5 brushless impact drill is rated for 188 ft/lbs. let alone my impact wrench.
Smaller, lighter, more compact.
Just saying.
Bailey Hatfield
My point exactly.
You can definitely go that route of using your impact driver for doing bigger jobs. As a DIY or occasional use as a Pro, that's fine. If you're a mechanic, removing larger fasteners frequently, I'd recommend an actual impact wrench. The larger anvil, be it 3/8" or 1/2" will make a difference, especially over time.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Video starts at 8:00
If you was Not using a adaptor with a large socket . This gun would work a lot better
Possibly, and we'll test this again very soon. Thanks for watching.
Botttom line Ryobi changes batteries, I change brands!
Can you guys try out the skil 12v impact wrench?
We will try to get it in for review. Thanks for watching.
Quick question.. would I need this new ryobi 3/8 impact I'd I already own the milwaukee m12 fuel 3/8 stubby impact?
I think the description says it has 160 ft lbs where the stubby has 250. And milwaukee IMO seems like a better brand with great warranty and power.
Hell no you wouldn't replace the stubby with this, buddy. You crazy???? 😆 🤣
As the others have mentioned, you don't need this if you already have the stubby.
As I’m watching this video and I’m seeing the new lineup from Ryobi they have copy the same thing that Milwaukee has Milwaukee has the same lineup and someone from Ryobi must’ve seen this and said let’s do the same thing now my only concern is why don’t they put the power to it well I mean add more power Tim from Canada this is my review on what I have seen so far I have Ryobi tools and I have you some other ones from other brands I’m hoping this new lineup from Ryobi they put more power into what they are doing
TTI makes ryobi Milwaukee and ridged
How much force is the squeeze ?
The triggers squeezes very easy. The impact was able to remove nuts that were torqued to 160 ft-lbs.
@@Shoptoolreviews thank you l came from vietnam and also had a passion for the machine and I also sold this line to return but didn't look up the specifications of the machine
What torque wrench are you using in the video?
Proto electronic torque wrench 250 ft-lbs. We love it. Great torque wrench.
@@Shoptoolreviews do you have a review of that torque wrench? And a price? Thanks for replying.
@@19donnie77 We don't have a review on that, although we should. We've used that in the shop for years. Proto is a more industrial brand from Stanley Black & Decker (DeWalt, MAC Tools, Stanley, Craftsman, etc.), so I doubt you will find it for sale online.
@@Shoptoolreviews basically I'm looking for a decent torque wrench that's reliable and not crazy high and not that much of a hassle getting recalibrated.
If you ever wanted to see a drill with clown shoes on here you go!
Sweet, that's super helpful. I couldn't have pictured it without you so eloquently explaining.
Lol
Work to change a tire ?
I would not recommend a compact impact wrench for changing tires. However, it could do it if the lugs were tightened to spec and not over-tightened or rusty. Thanks for watching.
Still take milwaukee m12 fuel 3/8 and its 250ft/lbs over this. Its smaller and has more power.
It's also 150% the price so it's kind of an irrelevant comparison
I paid $120 for my m12 3/8 stubby impact with a 6ah battery......both brand new in box.
The Milwaukee m12 3/8” impact does better than my Ryobi 18v 1/2 impact with a 4ah battery.....
Bare tool in Canada is 199 and a kit with a 4ah and 2 ah battery is 289 Canadian dollars.
@ yeah I've seen it at that price but been awhile now
That's an unbelievably great deal. Great job on that.
is this good for car Lug nuts?
Probably fine for a lot of passenger cars. If you're doing a lot of wheel changes, or if you're messing with trucks, then I'd step up to the 1/2" impact. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Thank you for answering my question. I just need it to change brake pads time to time and I think it's good for me .
What torque wrench is that
Proto 1/2" Electronic Torque Wrench. Thanks for watching.
I don't mind if it's not fast enough to match professional brands I just need to take off y manifold bolts😂
Why does everyone say any tool works with any batter? They don’t!!! Very single tool has certain battery models they work with, if you use a different battery than recommended in the manual it could ruin the tool and they wont replace it under warranty because you didn’t use the recommended batteries. For instance I just bought the p261 1/2” wrench and I have to return it because all my batteries are the hp battery type and are not compatible, they told me it could catch fire, and no warranty because you used a battery not specified. Any tool does not work with any battery, lies by ryobi.
WOW >?
Thanks for watching.
Nice yellow gloves
Glad you like them! We love them. They're the Nitrile glove from Mechanix and they hold up very well.
OMG, less talk and more action. 24 minute review should have taken 10 mins max.
if your job is to review tools and you are testing breaking strength, you need to have the proper size socket. I'm so tired of seeing videos of people using adapter over adapter. And they do make the sockets to do this in 3/8, you just dont have them.
We'd really appreciate it if you could find us a 33mm 3/8" drive deep-well socket. I'm sure it's because we lack the knowledge in finding tools. In all seriousness, if it made a difference, we would have one made. Our point here is, if you are buying any impact tool to consistently use in the top 10% of its capability, then it's the wrong tool for the job. Thanks for watching.
Tire shop ? NO the monkeys down at ‘joes muffler and tobacco’ don’t get to touch whole the car! Rims and tires only!!
They are also coming out with a mid torque 1/2 Hp, cant wait to see the review on this.
ruclips.net/video/yAMck1oMkwk/видео.html
That's all it can do before it over heats
Yes, it actually did quite a bit, and we were pushing it harder that it should be for a 160 ft-lbs impact. If we were running in 15mm or 9/16" bolts, it probably wouldn't flinch.
Just test it. You keep repeating yourself.
Why do you say that? Why do you say that? Lol. Sorry about that. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews hahahaha, nice comeback:) honestly, thanks for the review. I need a drill/driver kit for diy and can't decide. Too many options.
Dude, half your video is saying the same thing twice. You stand at the desk and talk about it being 3/8th inch, and the battery foot print and how you think its going to be nut busting torque, then you go to the test bench and repeat all of it. I know for you its been hours or maybe days since you filmed the bench segment, but you really don't need to repeat the whole thing.
Lol. Dude, you could have stopped watching after the first time we said it. Just kidding. We've tried to get better at this over the past year. It really boils down to the old logic of giving speeches and the sandwich principle (bread-meat-bread). Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them. This was good logic because people don't typically listen; however, it doesn't translate the best for video/reviews. Thanks for watching...even it was redundantly redundant.
@@Shoptoolreviews yeah I’ve fallen into the trap myself with my videos.
Second :D awesome vid 👌
Thanks so much.
this guy talks a lot.
A LOT!!! He's just trying to inform and arm you with as much information as possible.
please stop screaming
Great review!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind comment.
