Hi, have you used this yet to change a tyre, our lug nuts are measured in newton meters and not foot pounds, just curious if it worked at your wheel spec ? (Also from uk 🇬🇧)

I have the Ryobi compact impact driver and a pneumatic impact wrench as well. For removing lug nuts the Ryobi works well, not as powerful as the pneumatic but a lot handier at times. It has struggled at times, but never for long. Needless to say I am impressed with it, and it has found it's way in my car tool bag.
That's a good combination to have! Since doing this video, my tool bag now consists of a Milwaukee cordless ratchet, a Milwaukee 3/8" stubby impact wrench and a Ryobi 1/2" P262 impact wrench. This covers most of my needs but there are times that I need to use a breaker bar (or pneumatic impact) because these don't have enough power. 😁 I use the Ryobi impact driver as a die grinder (maybe I should do a video on that) and to remove brake rotor screws. It is a versatile and handy tool, I agree!

This was very educational! thank you so much. I have the one + 18v impact driver and drill $179 set combo. I knew the impact driver is more for heavy dutywood/concrete in house construction. The impact wrench is more for heavy duty automotive tasks. It is good to know that my impact driver can at least torque up to 100 ft-ibs. While I am in trade school learning how to maintain aircraft, i don't really have the time anymore to work on my cars at home while balancing a job and full-time school. My wife is trying to do most of the small car stuff at home, but she does not know about torque values and all of that. I can now at least tell her that the impact driver is safe to use on our 2009 Mazda6, but no bigger. My jeep cherokee and toyota van, she's going to need an impact wrench. We also need a torque wrench to check proper torque. This would be very helpful for my wife and I to watch so we both understand how important it is to use the right tool for the right job. I don't want to replace broken power tools because we didn't know about this stuff. apparently the new ryobi impact 4-mode wrench also has an auto-mode so that it does not overtighten a lugnut. Thank you sir!
Using the generic battery is making any tool look bad. I do agree that the impact driver v impact wrench is very different but that battery hurts all tools!
Used my Ryobi 1/4" hex impact for 2 years with the socket adapter. Works fairly ok, but the weak link is the 1/4" hex connection which will constantly jam as it is worn out from overloading. Just bought a Ryobi P262, a real 1/2" impact driver.
I agree. 👍 This was a fun test and I think the adapters work well for a lot of trades who need to loosen and fasten bolts here and there with their impact drivers but the P262 is my regular go-to for lug nuts, drivetrain, body, and suspension work.
I'd like to see you tighten the lug nut with the impact driver THEN test the torque it put on the lug nut. I'm interested in seeing if the driver puts too much torque on the nuts or if you would need to add to it after using the driver to tighten them.
That's an interesting thought! I'll see if I can find time to set something up for a video on that. Probably not on my truck but in a junkyard or with a board set up with nuts and bolts. 👍
@@lmsdiy I've been looking around and, apparently the Ryobi P263(3 speed 3/8 inch impact wrench) has around 90 ft/lbs in speed ...umm, 1 or 2. That should be close enough for my needs(80 ft/lbs).
@@jf2mad I'm not sure if I'm reading into this correctly, but are you planning to use an impact wrench or impact driver to tighten lugnuts on to your vehicle?
Don’t do it, a “torque limiting stick” is rated with use on a 400lb ft impact gun. Your ryobi with that torque stick will result in under torqued nut. Just buy a torque wrench and keep it in your car instead.
Brother, I’m glad a watched this first, my RV has a ftlb of 103 (140nm) and I was going to use this as my emergency Tyre removal tool……I’ll forget that now ! (I also carry a breaker bar and lug nut wrench)
Do you know how tight an auto tech secures an oil drain plug and the oil filter? Well the 1/4" Ryobi impact couldn't bust it. So lucky thing I have the Ryobi PBLIWO1 1,070 breakaway torque pounds. It took mere seconds to remove the oil plug and oil filter where the 1/4" impact failed after about 10 seconds. When I bought it I tested it immediately on our SUV's lugnuts and it broke every nut I tried it on. So we're looking at a lot of work ahead together as we tackle everything around the house and auto. Beautiful just beautiful!
That's a good question. I mean, it's designed for light use like fastening long screws, deck screws, etc. but can also do bolts/anchors into concrete. So on the one hand should be fine for light use (80 ft.lb. to me is light)... On the other hand, I think if we overwork any power tool we will risk overheating it and reducing its lifespan for sure.
@@frt241 My ACDelco says it's rated to 162 ft-lbs (1944 in-lb). If "nut-busting" (?) torque needed is less than the rated fastening torque, I ought to be able to break loose even an axle nut, say 180 ft-lb. My chief concern is the adapter, which Project Farm broke time after time (on his bench test, which was not after all, equal/identical to doing lug nuts, but still). He seemed to show the DeWalt, even more than the Makita Gold, was the most skookum, or is that the other guy :-). Since it would be for emergency use, the best seems worth it. But if none will do, why waste the time?
It is rated for 1800 in-lb which is 150 ft-lb. Since loosening requires about 80% the tighten torque this should break free 187 ft-lb. PROBLEM IS, and nobody seems to test, is this only has about 60% of the CLAIMED torque with the 4 Ah battery and 30% with the 3Ah batteries fully charged. Yes the size of the battery affects torque. You broke free 100 ft-lbs so with that battery if you tightened the bolts until it stopped turning would only get you to 80 ft-lb. That is, take a torque wrench and see how much torque to make the nut turn tighter (mark it with a sharp pencil) would only be about 80 ft-lb. Then call Ryobi and ask them why u don't get 150.
It's puzzling why some companies don't give their products easily distinguishable names instead of requiring a comparison of specifications by model number. As of 2024, for an additional $10, Model # PBLID01B is the superior choice with its 2200 in-lb (185 ft lb) max torque.
I have a saying. The right tool for the right job. If you are using an impact driver to tighten or loosen lug nuts, there is a high chance that the motor in the impact driver will burn out. An impact wrench is designed to handle high torque. It's like using a mallet to drive in nails when you should've been using a hammer.
Basically, an impact driver isn't as strong for nut/ bolt removal as an impact wrench. The 1/4" to 1/2" adapter necessary can snap. The 1/2" impact wrench is more direct, not requiring an additional adapter.
This tool being able to handle a 100 ft lb lug nut surprised me so much I had to run out and test it for myself because my old p236a is rated around the same numbers and it just cant do it.
Interesting... That's surprising that it couldn't do it but I've always been told that ft.lb. tool ratings are overrated and not to trust them. But, like you, I just had to try this for my own entertainment and curiosity purposes at least! 😁
The 1/4" impact drivers are better for bolts about 3/8ths and smaller. And yes the p262 1/2" impact gun and the new PBLIW01 high torque 1/2" impact wrench are good for all the big car and truck stuff. Also keep in mind that generic brand battery may be lessening the output of your tool. The Torque Test channel shows the 3AH HP battery working better for HP level ryobi tools thatn the 4AH. Tho that was all last years stuff and you cant find the 3AH now. just the 4 and the massive 9AH. the HP line is really impressive tho.
Thx for sharing your thoughts. I did buy the P262 and use it all the time, especially at the shop. And converted to only Ryobi brand name batteries now! 👍👍 The P262 is great but there are still times that I end up having to use the old manual breaker bar. 🙁
I have a more powerful impact driver, an ARI20101 P20 series 20V BRUSHLESS 1/4" Impact Driver from ACDelco by way of Durofix, rated to 77/133/162 ft-lb. I was excited to see your demo because I have a Chevy truck and so do you, but the torque spec on my 2003 is 140 in-lbs, I believe, and hoped you'd test at that spec. My chief concern was breaking the adapter, which did you use? Project Farm made me think that with the possible exception of the DeWalt, nothing else would come close. Would it be possible for you to update with stronger impact and tighter nut? Will it maybe do an axle nut on a truck or at least a car? I don't expect to do this often, but as I travel with the P20, it will be there on the road. So at the very least I'd like your spec on adapter and socket/, suitable for all purposes on roadside rescue. Also: the Bosch Freak line has a clever combo, 3/8 square-1/4" hex tip. Will that have the strength to drive a 3/8" - 22m hex all the way? (I've seen that you can buy that to add Freak capability to your driver.)
Hey Ira, my 2006 Chev lugnut spec is also 140 ft.lb. all around but I loosened one so I could try different torque specs. Because mine couldn't break free the 120 ft.lb. nut, I decided not to bother with 140 ft.lb. I use a DeWalt hex bit to 1/2" adapter. I think it said they are rated for 140 or 160 ft.lb. My thought on this is, even if my impact driver could finally break free a lugnut tightened to 140 ft.lb., it would take forever for me to remove all 24 lugs on the truck to rotate the tires. I want my tools to speed up my work for less time and less effort and this Ryobi impact driver is just not the right tool for me for automotive work. Hands down, my best purchase has been the Milwaukee 3/8" stubby impact wrench. It's so versatile and lightweight and works on lugnuts! Check out my video on that! I have a Ryobi P262 1/2" and a Milwaukee stubby 3/8" (impact wrenches) for all the lugnut and axle nut type work now. 😁😎
I have the same one with original battery when I first got it i made sure it was fully charge and yea I didn’t break no lug nuts loose have to break them loose then hit it Even if I had them alittle more the than snug the impact struggle
I'm a little confused, and I would much rather trust you guys than the Ryobi representative I spoke to at the Home Depot the other day I asked him if a 2 amp hour or a 4 amp hour or a 6 amp hour battery has anything to do with the performance of the drill or impact wrench specs and he said no. He told me the battery affects run time not total performance. He gave me an example that a powerful tool like a half inch impact wrench for a chainsaw or whatever will use up the smaller batteries reserved power quicker. Do you guys agree because I have two two amp hour batteries and I'm only looking to have the tool in my truck in the event that I have to change my tire I do not do other mechanical work so there's no other reason to use the gun except to take off my 140 ft-lb lugs on my SUV
While I agree that the amp hour rating is simply referring to the batteries capacity and therefore longer runtime, it’s the cell count and configuration in the higher amp hour batteries that actually create the the possibility of more sustained power. In light duty applications, it won’t make a difference, but with heavier duty ones it will. Check out this link and decide for yourself: www.protoolreviews.com/battery-amp-hours-affect-power/
That's the Ryobi PSBID01 COMPACT impact driver variable speed rated at up to 2,900 RPM, 3,800 impacts-per-minute(IPM), and 1700 inch-lb. (141 ft.lb.) of torque. But, what about the Ryobi PBLID01 STANDARD impact driver (4,000 impacts-per-minute(IPM), and 2,200 inch-lb. (183 ft.lb) of torque or even the latest PBLID02 model?
I noticed that the extension was vibrating a lot. This is wasting energy instead of applying it to loosen the nut. If there was a way to fix that, I bet it could remove the nut at 120 ft/lbs. However, we all know it was never designed for this purpose.
Nice observation, I think you have a good point. I just picked up the Ryobi impact wrench and will be reviewing that on a variety of truck fasteners to see how it does.
@@iraravitz2024 hey Ira, for that purpose I would recommend the Ryobi 1/2" P261! Handy to have around, works great on lugnuts and less expensive than the P262!
It's probably corrosion and/or someone overtightened them previously? I had to remove lugnuts from a Cooper Mini one day with my Ryobi P262 (mid-torque, "rated" for up to 600 ft.lb. loosening) impact wrench and they wouldn't budge on one of the wheels. I had to use a more powerful impact wrench 💪
Great video! I'm a DYI'er in woodworking and looking for an impact wrench driver. Not sure if I'll have more need for a 1/4" or 3/8" or 1/2" impact sized driver in the future and don't want to buy 2-3 different sized drivers. Is it possible to go from 1/2" to 3/8" to 1/2" and vice versa by just using a socket attachment adaptor instead no matter which drive size I get? Maybe just go with a 3/8" impact wrench for an all arounder?
Thanks! Here is my humble two cents: If you do more woodworking and are turning screws more than bolt/nut fastening, my suggestion is to go with a 1/4" hex impact driver and get 1/4" hex to 3/8" and 1/4" hex to 1/2" adapters for sockets. If you do more bolt and nut fastening/removal than turning screws, my suggestion is to get an impact wrench. If you do both frequently or just need the power/convenience, buy both. If, as a DIYer you're trying to buy only one tool and try to use it for both scenarios, my opinion is that the impact driver is the more versatile single purchase. Feel free to share thoughts if you disagree or have better suggestions! :)
I maybe missed one answer in your ask: is it possible to get adapters? Always. The benefit is you can use whichever tool size (get the most powerful tool that you need in the smallest/lightest form, is my approach) you want and get adapters to accommodate. The drawbacks are that 1) you end up having to switch/use multiple adapters, 2) adapters add length so it may impact (no pun intended) your capabilities in tight spaces and 3) power reduction - each time you introduce an extension, an adapter, a swivel, etc., it will reduce the overall power of the impacting action.
@@lmsdiy Thank you for your feedback. It was very helpful. I might just purchase a 3/8 in impact wrench driver for the occasional tightening and loosening of lag bolts and such. If I were to use my 1/4 in impact driver for the lighter stuff, I could just stick with my chrome plated sockets? I know the impact wrench requires the impact sockets though, which I do not yet own.
@@kle2217 hey my pleasure. Though not recommended (to use chrome vanadium) for impact wrenches, I do know people who use high quality sockets (like Snap-On) with impacts and are not concerned with them breaking apart. With cheaper quality sockets it's just a matter of time before they break and who knows... I don't recommend it but if you do, always wear protective equipment including safety eyewear at least...!
@@kle2217 if u need something for more like medium duty work u might want to consider avoiding adapters, extensions, and u-joints because they will rob power, so if u have large nuts and bolts that u would rather use 1/2" drive on, i would go with the 1/2" and then use adapters from there which will take away some fastening power, but u wouldn't need as much power for smaller stuff. BUT there is one exception which is the milwuakee 3/8" drive is more powerful than their 1/2" drive. so if you buy milwuakee, 3/8" drive will give u the most power
Assuming your Passat lugnuts are torqued to within spec (80-105 ft.lb.), I would say yes. Disclaimer: if you do not regularly service your tires (I.e., rust and corrosion factor) and/or if they were not torqued properly (I.e., overtightened), it is possible that this won't work.
I would assume a 8.5 amp corded impact wrench would solve all battery woes(diff. sizes,maps etc) crappy tire here in canada has one on for 89$..and a got a 100ft 10amp extension cord..
I used the exact same one for a couple of years and it was fine. If all you really do is lugnuts here and there, a corded impact should suit that application! My opinion is that once I do more of that and go mobile (which I do often each week), I don't want to waste my time with cords and power outlets. Just to add... This impact wrench on lugnuts video is kind of just for fun and interest. I use a cordless 1/2" impact wrench as my actual go-to for automotive DIY work.
I don’t have the exact links but I use the DeWalt 1/4” hex to 1/2” square impact adapter. It’s less than $10 at Home Depot. The Milwaukee version looks great as well and/but it’s double the price.
Most cars are 95 to 105 foot pounds. So yes, this is good to carry if you get a flat. Now the jack is a different story. I think the battery would run down on a screw jack. 🐀🐾
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.
If you use a better impact driver it would probably work at 120. Ryoby ridgid and milwaukee are Home Depot brand, but one of there seller told me that it was the lowest in performance and quality of the 3. Then ridgid then milwaukee. The milwaukee m12 fuel is very powerful so would probably remove it at 120. As all products, it depends on your needs. Also if i am not wrong, they don’t recommend to use an impact driver as a impact wrench but i guess once in a while isn’t a problem.
What you suggested about a different brand might work. And it's probably ok for light duty. But I find the impact driver just isn't the right tool for impact wrench work. I have a 3/8" Milwaukee stubby impact wrench and Ryobi 1/2" impact wrench instead for my auto work. It's all just my opinion though 😁
Can you clarify what your saying? is that specific to your local town or city..? 99% of countries on earth do not have a home depot... but milwaukee and ryobi can be purchased through other retailers in most of the world. it's not uncommon to see milwaukee double the price of ryobi for similarly spec tools.
You cannot properly test a powertool using a battery that may not even be matching OEM amperage. Just because it delivers 18V does not mean it delivers full power.
Thanks for the feedback and I agree. It's all learning as a DIYer. Based on the feedback I did a part two with an OEM battery. What a difference! ruclips.net/video/8NyhwKNxPoY/видео.html
I find it okay for mechanic work. I've used it to remove stuck rotor screws but use it more as a die grinder to remove rust from rotors, wheels, etc. I've since switched my impact driver for mechanic work over to Milwaukee M12. It's lighter, the battery is smaller and has higher rpm.
@@yamahschector got it. It depends on the vehicle and the kind of work. If you work on lugnuts, suspension and drivetrain parts like axle nuts, control arms, ball joints, lower strut bolts, and wheel hubs (especially on trucks) there's no way an impact driver has the power you need. If it's light-duty work you can get away with it. Otherwise get good breaker bars 🙂👍 I use my 1/2" and 3/8" impact wrenches the most and breaker bars help when you can't fit an impact wrench into a tight spot.
@@yamahschector I have not worked on that myself before so you probably know the job better than I (so take my suggestions with a grain of salt). In general, I'm not a fan of using an impact driver for suspension work. I would use impact wrenches, breaker bars and ratchets/wrenches.
Something to note, This Ryobi's weakest brushless impact tool and is part of their "Compact" line , The older P238 and the newer PDLID02 are both way stronger. as well at the P262 1/2" impact wrench. So just to think this what the "Weakest" can do :P Also be careful with those generic batteries, they lack many of the safety features built into the genuine ryobi batteries.
I have the Ryobi compact brushless driver and yes it takes off lugnuts. It's when I'm lazy to get the air impactor out or when I don't want to have the compressor run.. It also has snapped the Ryobi brand hex to 1/2 inch adaptor. I ended up buying a better adapter and have had no issues. I did't get it for lugnuts but because of it's compact form it makes it a tool that I can work on the car in tighter spaces then the full sized one.
two things wrong with this. 1. that tool is not design for lug nuts, get the ryobi high torque it’s better. 2. hp+ (one+) tool design to take advantage of one+ battery. you get more power.
Absolutely There are the regular 4ah batteries, HP 6ah and 9AH batteries (all of these are made with 18650 cells) And for the new HP tools ryobi made a new HP 4ah battery that is made with 21700 cells (bigger cells, more power, runs cooler etc...)
Next time use a original battery. I have the same Chinese battery you use and they are fine for the normal undemanding stuff. But in the angle grinder or impact driver/wrench really want the original battery.
@@lmsdiy Yeah, I found a good Ryobi battery you demonstrated in part two of your video cost as much of the impact wrench itself. As a home diyer, it's better off buying a electric impact wrench from Harbor freight.
I'm with ya. The electric impact wrench is the right cost-effective solution. Some DIYers may want to go with a corded impact wrench to save costs and they may only be using it to swap tires for summer/winter and not much else. I do a lot of automotive work now so I decided to buy an assortment of cordless electric tools. Although I do use my cordless 3/8" ratchet and cordless 3/8" impact wrench, there's nothing I use more than the 1/2" impact!
I dont get it ? I have seen other video showing that impact driver breaking away more than 140 foot pounds, which I believe the manufacturer claims its rated to 140 foot pounds. Maybe your not giving it enough time to succeed. I believe i have seen it at, Shop tool Reviews on youtube.
🤷🏻♂️ maybe it's a quality control thing. I can't explain it either. But I know I use my impact wrench and breaker bars more than I use the impact driver for auto work now. 😁😂
ya use a real hp battwry even kno that compact dowsnt have the extra terminals they still help i have like 12 battwries all actual ryobi battwriws but the compaxt 3amp hr is the strongest but for 99 bucks get the pblid02 wven kno the specs says the p238 is faster the new one is a monster ..love it with the comp. 3ah my buddiws milwaukie gen 3 is the only in person beat it and it beats the gen 3 sumtimes so also don5 judge a book by TTIs stupid marketing on the boxes also give the pblid02 time to wear in it keeps gettin stronger..its my binkie ...wifes gettin jealous lol
Impact is good for removing nuts only. If you try to tighten wheel nuts, you will have to use a wheel nut wrench. You will screw it up if you use an impact. This is a cut corners and you will definitely weaken a wheel nut or all of them!
I believe it's 75-80% the other way around. To break free something fastened to 120 ft.lb. requires approximately 90-96 ft.lb. only. I could be wrong but I think that's the calculation...

Hi, have you used this yet to change a tyre, our lug nuts are measured in newton meters and not foot pounds, just curious if it worked at your wheel spec ? (Also from uk 🇬🇧)

So glad I found this video. I have a Ryobi impact and was very curious if it would work. My cross bar is killer by the last lugnut
Used my Ryobi 1/4" hex impact for 2 years with the socket adapter. Works fairly ok, but the weak link is the 1/4" hex connection which will constantly jam as it is worn out from overloading. Just bought a Ryobi P262, a real 1/2" impact driver.
I agree. 👍 This was a fun test and I think the adapters work well for a lot of trades who need to loosen and fasten bolts here and there with their impact drivers but the P262 is my regular go-to for lug nuts, drivetrain, body, and suspension work.
I'd like to see you tighten the lug nut with the impact driver THEN test the torque it put on the lug nut. I'm interested in seeing if the driver puts too much torque on the nuts or if you would need to add to it after using the driver to tighten them.
That's an interesting thought! I'll see if I can find time to set something up for a video on that. Probably not on my truck but in a junkyard or with a board set up with nuts and bolts. 👍

@@lmsdiy planning on keeping one as part of a kit for traveling. I think I'll just add an 80 ft/lb Steelman torque stick to it and call it good.
Don’t do it, a “torque limiting stick” is rated with use on a 400lb ft impact gun. Your ryobi with that torque stick will result in under torqued nut. Just buy a torque wrench and keep it in your car instead.
Thanks for the test :) , I was bit skeptical to get the 1/4 inch one.

Hi! Hold up there you might be okay. Check out my part two video. With a Ryobi 4ah battery you should be fine.
Impact drivers are usually stronger tightening and wrench are stronger loosening.

Do you know how tight an auto tech secures an oil drain plug and the oil filter? Well the 1/4" Ryobi impact couldn't bust it. So lucky thing I have the Ryobi PBLIWO1 1,070 breakaway torque pounds. It took mere seconds to remove the oil plug and oil filter where the 1/4" impact failed after about 10 seconds. When I bought it I tested it immediately on our SUV's lugnuts and it broke every nut I tried it on. So we're looking at a lot of work ahead together as we tackle everything around the house and auto. Beautiful just beautiful!
Having the right tools can make all the (fun!) difference. 👍 Enjoy the upcoming DIY projects!
FYI the oil drain plugs range from around 15-35 ft.lb. depending on the vehicle. “Hand tight” 😁
Thx for gr8 info and diff tests you performed
Happy to! And thank you for the feedback! 🙂
man, thankyou very much, an informative review like this is all i needed
Thanks, Matt. Make sure you check out part 2 for the full story review!
wish you would test it's ability to tighten bolts
I am curious if there is any long term damage from using an impact driver as an impact wrench? Or is it just the so-so performance.
That's a good question. I mean, it's designed for light use like fastening long screws, deck screws, etc. but can also do bolts/anchors into concrete. So on the one hand should be fine for light use (80 ft.lb. to me is light)... On the other hand, I think if we overwork any power tool we will risk overheating it and reducing its lifespan for sure.
I've worked my impact driver pretty hard, worst thing I see is broken adaptors!
@@Yata69 nice... Adapters are cheap! 😁
Good video. Looks as if you’re not using more than 80 ft-lbs then the driver plus adapter will work.
Yeah if I were only removing and fastening lugnuts that were ~80 ft.lbs. I might just use an impact driver. 🙂
It varies by manufacturer if you buy like milwaukee or high end impact you can do up to 200 or in some cases 250.
@@frt241 My ACDelco says it's rated to 162 ft-lbs (1944 in-lb). If "nut-busting" (?) torque needed is less than the rated fastening torque, I ought to be able to break loose even an axle nut, say 180 ft-lb.
My chief concern is the adapter, which Project Farm broke time after time (on his bench test, which was not after all, equal/identical to doing lug nuts, but still). He seemed to show the DeWalt, even more than the Makita Gold, was the most skookum, or is that the other guy :-). Since it would be for emergency use, the best seems worth it. But if none will do, why waste the time?
It is rated for 1800 in-lb which is 150 ft-lb. Since loosening requires about 80% the tighten torque this should break free 187 ft-lb. PROBLEM IS, and nobody seems to test, is this only has about 60% of the CLAIMED torque with the 4 Ah battery and 30% with the 3Ah batteries fully charged. Yes the size of the battery affects torque.
You broke free 100 ft-lbs so with that battery if you tightened the bolts until it stopped turning would only get you to 80 ft-lb. That is, take a torque wrench and see how much torque to make the nut turn tighter (mark it with a sharp pencil) would only be about 80 ft-lb. Then call Ryobi and ask them why u don't get 150.
I have the AEG (Ridgid) Impact driver and impact wrench and both use the same 2Ah battery, the impact wrench has a larger motor.
It's puzzling why some companies don't give their products easily distinguishable names instead of requiring a comparison of specifications by model number. As of 2024, for an additional $10, Model # PBLID01B is the superior choice with its 2200 in-lb (185 ft lb) max torque.
I bought an impact driver las week , but I was using today making like 10 holes in a tree stump and get hot.
I have a saying. The right tool for the right job. If you are using an impact driver to tighten or loosen lug nuts, there is a high chance that the motor in the impact driver will burn out. An impact wrench is designed to handle high torque. It's like using a mallet to drive in nails when you should've been using a hammer.
For occasional mechanics like me though the tool wouldn't get any any undue stress. But I get what you're saying, if you say run a workshop etc.
Basically, an impact driver isn't as strong for nut/ bolt removal as an impact wrench. The 1/4" to 1/2" adapter necessary can snap. The 1/2" impact wrench is more direct, not requiring an additional adapter.
This tool being able to handle a 100 ft lb lug nut surprised me so much I had to run out and test it for myself because my old p236a is rated around the same numbers and it just cant do it.
Interesting... That's surprising that it couldn't do it but I've always been told that ft.lb. tool ratings are overrated and not to trust them. But, like you, I just had to try this for my own entertainment and curiosity purposes at least! 😁
The 1/4" impact drivers are better for bolts about 3/8ths and smaller. And yes the p262 1/2" impact gun and the new PBLIW01 high torque 1/2" impact wrench are good for all the big car and truck stuff. Also keep in mind that generic brand battery may be lessening the output of your tool. The Torque Test channel shows the 3AH HP battery working better for HP level ryobi tools thatn the 4AH. Tho that was all last years stuff and you cant find the 3AH now. just the 4 and the massive 9AH. the HP line is really impressive tho.
Thx for sharing your thoughts. I did buy the P262 and use it all the time, especially at the shop. And converted to only Ryobi brand name batteries now! 👍👍
The P262 is great but there are still times that I end up having to use the old manual breaker bar. 🙁
Can I do it the other way around? I have an impact wrench only.
Thanks for your video. Can you share what the impact wrench did you use in the video? I find it is convenient for the job
Hi, it's in the description for the video. PSBID01 it might end in K or C depending which country you are in. Hope that helps.
What adapter is that? My adapters keep on snapping when I try removing a lug nut torque at 89 ft lbs
DeWalt adapter. Pretty strong and have never broken it (yet)!
I have a more powerful impact driver, an ARI20101 P20 series 20V BRUSHLESS 1/4" Impact Driver from ACDelco by way of Durofix, rated to 77/133/162 ft-lb. I was excited to see your demo because I have a Chevy truck and so do you, but the torque spec on my 2003 is 140 in-lbs, I believe, and hoped you'd test at that spec.
My chief concern was breaking the adapter, which did you use? Project Farm made me think that with the possible exception of the DeWalt, nothing else would come close.
Would it be possible for you to update with stronger impact and tighter nut? Will it maybe do an axle nut on a truck or at least a car? I don't expect to do this often, but as I travel with the P20, it will be there on the road. So at the very least I'd like your spec on adapter and socket/, suitable for all purposes on roadside rescue.
Also: the Bosch Freak line has a clever combo, 3/8 square-1/4" hex tip. Will that have the strength to drive a 3/8" - 22m hex all the way? (I've seen that you can buy that to add Freak capability to your driver.)
Hey Ira, my 2006 Chev lugnut spec is also 140 ft.lb. all around but I loosened one so I could try different torque specs. Because mine couldn't break free the 120 ft.lb. nut, I decided not to bother with 140 ft.lb.
I use a DeWalt hex bit to 1/2" adapter. I think it said they are rated for 140 or 160 ft.lb.
My thought on this is, even if my impact driver could finally break free a lugnut tightened to 140 ft.lb., it would take forever for me to remove all 24 lugs on the truck to rotate the tires. I want my tools to speed up my work for less time and less effort and this Ryobi impact driver is just not the right tool for me for automotive work. Hands down, my best purchase has been the Milwaukee 3/8" stubby impact wrench. It's so versatile and lightweight and works on lugnuts! Check out my video on that!
I have a Ryobi P262 1/2" and a Milwaukee stubby 3/8" (impact wrenches) for all the lugnut and axle nut type work now. 😁😎
Here's the test with the Ryobi battery!
ruclips.net/video/8NyhwKNxPoY/видео.html
Are you Canadian? No offense but you sound like you're from Toronto.
Yes to Canada, no to Toronto. 😁
Nice test thanks
You're welcome! Hope it was interesting. 🙂
I have the same one with original battery when I first got it i made sure it was fully charge and yea I didn’t break no lug nuts loose have to break them loose then hit it
Even if I had them alittle more the than snug the impact struggle
The lithium+ 4ah batteries may be better now? Check out my part 2 video with the newest Ryobi battery. Huge difference! I was impressed...
I'm a little confused, and I would much rather trust you guys than the Ryobi representative I spoke to at the Home Depot the other day I asked him if a 2 amp hour or a 4 amp hour or a 6 amp hour battery has anything to do with the performance of the drill or impact wrench specs and he said no. He told me the battery affects run time not total performance. He gave me an example that a powerful tool like a half inch impact wrench for a chainsaw or whatever will use up the smaller batteries reserved power quicker. Do you guys agree because I have two two amp hour batteries and I'm only looking to have the tool in my truck in the event that I have to change my tire I do not do other mechanical work so there's no other reason to use the gun except to take off my 140 ft-lb lugs on my SUV
While I agree that the amp hour rating is simply referring to the batteries capacity and therefore longer runtime, it’s the cell count and configuration in the higher amp hour batteries that actually create the the possibility of more sustained power. In light duty applications, it won’t make a difference, but with heavier duty ones it will. Check out this link and decide for yourself:
www.protoolreviews.com/battery-amp-hours-affect-power/
That's the Ryobi PSBID01 COMPACT impact driver variable speed rated at up to 2,900 RPM, 3,800 impacts-per-minute(IPM), and 1700 inch-lb. (141 ft.lb.) of torque. But, what about the Ryobi PBLID01 STANDARD impact driver (4,000 impacts-per-minute(IPM), and 2,200 inch-lb. (183 ft.lb) of torque or even the latest PBLID02 model?
Great idea for another test! But my lugnuts only need 140 ft.lb. so I'll need another test situation. 😁
I noticed that the extension was vibrating a lot. This is wasting energy instead of applying it to loosen the nut. If there was a way to fix that, I bet it could remove the nut at 120 ft/lbs. However, we all know it was never designed for this purpose.
Nice observation, I think you have a good point. I just picked up the Ryobi impact wrench and will be reviewing that on a variety of truck fasteners to see how it does.
@@lmsdiy please update us - as I noted above, I want to have my impact driver with emergency tire change capability.
@@iraravitz2024 hey Ira, for that purpose I would recommend the Ryobi 1/2" P261! Handy to have around, works great on lugnuts and less expensive than the P262!
Here's the test with the Ryobi battery!
ruclips.net/video/8NyhwKNxPoY/видео.html
Most people find that as the impact driver gets more torque, it just snaps the weakest link, which is the adapter.
I agree with that thought and have definitely heard that as well!
I have a ryobi capable of 1800 inch / lb and can't unscrew a small sedan lug nut. Also paired with a 6 amp battery
It's probably corrosion and/or someone overtightened them previously? I had to remove lugnuts from a Cooper Mini one day with my Ryobi P262 (mid-torque, "rated" for up to 600 ft.lb. loosening) impact wrench and they wouldn't budge on one of the wheels. I had to use a more powerful impact wrench 💪
Thank You for the video.
No problem. Hope you enjoyed it. 🙂
What was that tool you used at 2:22 where you were able to set the torque?
Just a basic 1/2" torque wrench adjustable 50-250 ft.lbs.
can an impact ryobi drill be used as a regular drill?
If it's an impact drill, yep!
Great video! I'm a DYI'er in woodworking and looking for an impact wrench driver. Not sure if I'll have more need for a 1/4" or 3/8" or 1/2" impact sized driver in the future and don't want to buy 2-3 different sized drivers. Is it possible to go from 1/2" to 3/8" to 1/2" and vice versa by just using a socket attachment adaptor instead no matter which drive size I get? Maybe just go with a 3/8" impact wrench for an all arounder?
Thanks! Here is my humble two cents:
If you do more woodworking and are turning screws more than bolt/nut fastening, my suggestion is to go with a 1/4" hex impact driver and get 1/4" hex to 3/8" and 1/4" hex to 1/2" adapters for sockets.
If you do more bolt and nut fastening/removal than turning screws, my suggestion is to get an impact wrench.
If you do both frequently or just need the power/convenience, buy both.
If, as a DIYer you're trying to buy only one tool and try to use it for both scenarios, my opinion is that the impact driver is the more versatile single purchase.
Feel free to share thoughts if you disagree or have better suggestions! :)
I maybe missed one answer in your ask: is it possible to get adapters? Always. The benefit is you can use whichever tool size (get the most powerful tool that you need in the smallest/lightest form, is my approach) you want and get adapters to accommodate. The drawbacks are that 1) you end up having to switch/use multiple adapters, 2) adapters add length so it may impact (no pun intended) your capabilities in tight spaces and 3) power reduction - each time you introduce an extension, an adapter, a swivel, etc., it will reduce the overall power of the impacting action.
@@lmsdiy Thank you for your feedback. It was very helpful. I might just purchase a 3/8 in impact wrench driver for the occasional tightening and loosening of lag bolts and such. If I were to use my 1/4 in impact driver for the lighter stuff, I could just stick with my chrome plated sockets? I know the impact wrench requires the impact sockets though, which I do not yet own.
@@kle2217 hey my pleasure. Though not recommended (to use chrome vanadium) for impact wrenches, I do know people who use high quality sockets (like Snap-On) with impacts and are not concerned with them breaking apart. With cheaper quality sockets it's just a matter of time before they break and who knows... I don't recommend it but if you do, always wear protective equipment including safety eyewear at least...!
@@kle2217 if u need something for more like medium duty work u might want to consider avoiding adapters, extensions, and u-joints because they will rob power, so if u have large nuts and bolts that u would rather use 1/2" drive on, i would go with the 1/2" and then use adapters from there which will take away some fastening power, but u wouldn't need as much power for smaller stuff. BUT there is one exception which is the milwuakee 3/8" drive is more powerful than their 1/2" drive. so if you buy milwuakee, 3/8" drive will give u the most power
18v drill? ty
Will it work for a volkswagen passat lug nuts
Assuming your Passat lugnuts are torqued to within spec (80-105 ft.lb.), I would say yes.
Disclaimer: if you do not regularly service your tires (I.e., rust and corrosion factor) and/or if they were not torqued properly (I.e., overtightened), it is possible that this won't work.
I would assume a 8.5 amp corded impact wrench would solve all battery woes(diff. sizes,maps etc) crappy tire here in canada has one on for 89$..and a got a 100ft 10amp extension cord..
I used the exact same one for a couple of years and it was fine. If all you really do is lugnuts here and there, a corded impact should suit that application!
My opinion is that once I do more of that and go mobile (which I do often each week), I don't want to waste my time with cords and power outlets.
Just to add... This impact wrench on lugnuts video is kind of just for fun and interest. I use a cordless 1/2" impact wrench as my actual go-to for automotive DIY work.
Thank you. Great video.
My pleasure! 🙂

Do you have links to the driver attachments for the lug nut removal?
I don’t have the exact links but I use the DeWalt 1/4” hex to 1/2” square impact adapter. It’s less than $10 at Home Depot.
The Milwaukee version looks great as well and/but it’s double the price.
get a rigid impact driver mine broke lugs that where tightened to 180 ft pounds
Nice...!
I think the adapter acts as a tiny torque limiter.
I agree!
I always break my adapters.
At this rate it would probably be cheaper to just buy an impact wrench than keep buying adapters hahaha
Lol I agree. I use my 1/2" impact more than any other power tool. It was definitely my best purchase! This was a fun experiment though. 😁
Try the 9ah pack it should hit spec.
I picked up some new 4ah batteries and did a part 2!
Most cars are 95 to 105 foot pounds. So yes, this is good to carry if you get a flat. Now the jack is a different story. I think the battery would run down on a screw jack. 🐀🐾
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.
DeWalt products are excellent, I agree. Although my personal brand of choice these days is Milwaukee, I know I couldn't go wrong if I used DeWalt... 👍
If you use a better impact driver it would probably work at 120. Ryoby ridgid and milwaukee are Home Depot brand, but one of there seller told me that it was the lowest in performance and quality of the 3. Then ridgid then milwaukee.
The milwaukee m12 fuel is very powerful so would probably remove it at 120. As all products, it depends on your needs.
Also if i am not wrong, they don’t recommend to use an impact driver as a impact wrench but i guess once in a while isn’t a problem.
What you suggested about a different brand might work. And it's probably ok for light duty. But I find the impact driver just isn't the right tool for impact wrench work. I have a 3/8" Milwaukee stubby impact wrench and Ryobi 1/2" impact wrench instead for my auto work. It's all just my opinion though 😁
Can you clarify what your saying? is that specific to your local town or city..? 99% of countries on earth do not have a home depot...
but milwaukee and ryobi can be purchased through other retailers in most of the world. it's not uncommon to see milwaukee double the price of ryobi for similarly spec tools.
You cannot properly test a powertool using a battery that may not even be matching OEM amperage. Just because it delivers 18V does not mean it delivers full power.
Thanks for the feedback and I agree. It's all learning as a DIYer. Based on the feedback I did a part two with an OEM battery. What a difference!

A cheap impact driver for mechanic work?
I find it okay for mechanic work. I've used it to remove stuck rotor screws but use it more as a die grinder to remove rust from rotors, wheels, etc. I've since switched my impact driver for mechanic work over to Milwaukee M12. It's lighter, the battery is smaller and has higher rpm.
@@lmsdiy I am looking at a hitachi impact driver for suspension work on my vehicle to make it easier on me not full time mechanic work.
@@yamahschector got it. It depends on the vehicle and the kind of work. If you work on lugnuts, suspension and drivetrain parts like axle nuts, control arms, ball joints, lower strut bolts, and wheel hubs (especially on trucks) there's no way an impact driver has the power you need. If it's light-duty work you can get away with it. Otherwise get good breaker bars 🙂👍 I use my 1/2" and 3/8" impact wrenches the most and breaker bars help when you can't fit an impact wrench into a tight spot.
@@lmsdiy so a larger breaker bar and a torque wrench will be the ticket then. I have to replace wore out lift suspension on my fj cruiser
@@yamahschector I have not worked on that myself before so you probably know the job better than I (so take my suggestions with a grain of salt). In general, I'm not a fan of using an impact driver for suspension work. I would use impact wrenches, breaker bars and ratchets/wrenches.
1:32 to the point!
Something to note, This Ryobi's weakest brushless impact tool and is part of their "Compact" line , The older P238 and the newer PDLID02 are both way stronger. as well at the P262 1/2" impact wrench.
So just to think this what the "Weakest" can do :P
Also be careful with those generic batteries, they lack many of the safety features built into the genuine ryobi batteries.
I have the P262 now (finally available in Canada a few weeks ago)!
Thx for the tip about the generic batteries.
@@lmsdiy
No problem, also that p262 is an absolute beast , not quiet as good as Rigid or the Milluwakie mid torques but it's right there with them.
@@lmsdiy Great! Please try this again with higher torqued bolts eg Chevy lug and axle nuts?
I have the Ryobi compact brushless driver and yes it takes off lugnuts. It's when I'm lazy to get the air impactor out or when I don't want to have the compressor run.. It also has snapped the Ryobi brand hex to 1/2 inch adaptor. I ended up buying a better adapter and have had no issues. I did't get it for lugnuts but because of it's compact form it makes it a tool that I can work on the car in tighter spaces then the full sized one.

GOOD TEACHER, NEAT
When you use an adapter and/or extension, your tool will lose some power. A 1/4" drive or adapter is not designed to remove lug nuts.
Very true. All adapters will cause power loss. Check out the part 2 video!
ruclips.net/video/8NyhwKNxPoY/видео.html
@@lmsdiy Yeah, I found a good Ryobi battery you demonstrated in part two of your video cost as much of the impact wrench itself. As a home diyer, it's better off buying a electric impact wrench from Harbor freight.
I'm with ya. The electric impact wrench is the right cost-effective solution. Some DIYers may want to go with a corded impact wrench to save costs and they may only be using it to swap tires for summer/winter and not much else.
I do a lot of automotive work now so I decided to buy an assortment of cordless electric tools. Although I do use my cordless 3/8" ratchet and cordless 3/8" impact wrench, there's nothing I use more than the 1/2" impact!
I dont get it ? I have seen other video showing that impact driver breaking away more than 140 foot pounds, which I believe the manufacturer claims its rated to 140 foot pounds. Maybe your not giving it enough time to succeed. I believe i have seen it at, Shop tool Reviews on youtube.
🤷🏻♂️ maybe it's a quality control thing. I can't explain it either. But I know I use my impact wrench and breaker bars more than I use the impact driver for auto work now. 😁😂

you need the high performance battery, dude!!
Yes!!
Impact is good for removing nuts only. If you try to tighten wheel nuts, you will have to use a wheel nut wrench.
You will screw it up if you use an impact. This is a cut corners and you will definitely weaken a wheel nut or all of them!
Good advice! Don’t over-tighten by using an impact. Suggest using torque wrench for tightening them up properly. 👍
@ OSHA training. Many mechanics still apply this rule nowadays!
If you would have you used a 20 or 24 volt impact you would have gotten it each time
Turns out I actually just needed a better battery! Check out part 2! 👍
"What have we learned today" Ryobi are toys
You wouldn't say that if your dentist got one...
Why on earth would you use the cheapest batterys available?
I think you answered your question in your question, lol. 😂 I’ve learned my lesson…!
Part 2 of my video shows these tests with a real battery!
You need to buy the proper tool, the ryobi 1/2 inch impact guns are great
120 ft lb lug nut takes 140 ft lb to break it loose.
I believe it's 75-80% the other way around. To break free something fastened to 120 ft.lb. requires approximately 90-96 ft.lb. only. I could be wrong but I think that's the calculation...
I thought this was an interesting video on fastening vs. breakaway torque.

You're using the compact model. It's not as strong as the regular model.
