I have the 1/2 impact wrench already but i found myself always using the adaptor because most of the sockets i use are 3/8 drive, plenty of power for what i need, i was even able to loosen lugnuts with it. So far very happy with my purchase!

I have been using this for a couple of weeks and it performs great, It has plenty of power and I like the compact size. Comes in really handy for removing and torquing down lug nuts.

Ryobi impact wrench great for mid size fastening. Great time saver. Less work than the manual ratchet. Impact action pre-torks faster. The light on the base helps you see areas in low light without having to hold a flashlight. Charges quickly. The charge really seems to last a long time. Great size. Light weight tool keeps the hand and arm strain way down.

I like the product seems to have enough torque for basic jobs. With the 4 amp hr batteries they last a long time.

The Ryobi 18-volt Compact Brushless/Cordless impact wrench is a nice little unit. It comes as “Tool Only” unit so hopefully you have other Ryobi 18-Volt One+ batteries. The impact wrench has 4 setting, low (0-850 rpm), medium (0-2000 rpm), high (0-2900 rpm) and Auto mode. In Auto Mode it shuts down as soon as it start impacting to protect your fasteners. There is an LED light that is located behind the power setting switch on the base of the unit. My first use of the impact driver was driving lags screw securing logs in my kids home made log cabin. It worked great. The impact wrench puts out a maximum of a 160 ft-lbs of torque. This unit is not powerful enough to tighten lug nuts on your car but will be great for home projects using your 3/8 inch ratchet sockets and extensions.

This is a light weight impact tool and for its size and weight it has surprising torque. So far its done well for placing hold-down anchors but it didn’t have enough breaking power to break the lug-nuts on my truck. That didn’t bother me to bad as I have other tools for that but still happy with the job this tool will do. The battery life seems to be pretty good as well.

I already own the Ryobi 18 volt impact driver and use it often with a hex to socket drive adapter for when I am driving/impacting hex head fasteners. I snapped one of socket adapters and felt it was time to go the proper impact tool – the Ryobi impact wrench.Out of the box, this impact is slightly smaller and lighter than my driver. However, my driver isn’t brushless and may be the reason for its weight and size.So, I’m thinking this Ryobi tool is going to somewhat wimpy compared to the brushed impact driver. I was wrong – this tool is anything but wimpy.I spent the full weekend with this impact wrench to knock out a list of projects. I am very impressed!Features that I like is the variable speed smooth trigger control and top that off with the 4 speed gear switch with auto. The auto speed kinda had me scratching my head on how and when to apply it. That’s when I figured that’s what the “auto” means, let the tool decide. I had a project of mounting a side rail on my utility trailer with 1/2″ bolts. I was pleased to see that the auto sort of senses the torque of the driver and either kicks in or backs off on speed and impacts.Another plus of this tool is the LED light which my driver lacks. The placement of the light is not the best location in my opinion since it is easy to obstruct depending on how you hold the tool.One item I found as a con is the lack of a tool clip. There are two points to mount one but Ryobi chose not to provide one. This is a necessity in my opinion.I am very satisfied with this tool otherwise and will now be my go-to tool instead of the impact driver.

Yet to deploy fully. Test run was phenomenal

I acquired the Ryobi impact wrench to obtain more torque than my impact driver provides for loosening and tightening nuts and bolts. I like that the tool is light and compact enough to get into tight spaces and delivers significant torque. I also like the LED indicators for the various modes (speed ranges) of operation (1,2,3, and Auto), and the built in LED work lights. The brushless technology conserves battery power and after using the tool for half an hour with a 4 ah battery the charge indicator did not even move. I used the tool to help me rotate tires on my truck. As the tool is not designed to break lug nuts loose I used a breaker bar to break the lugs loose, then the tool to spin them off. To reinstall I used the tool to snug the lugs up, then torqued them down with a torque wrench. This is my fifth Ryobi cordless tool that uses the One + rechargeable batteries. Each tool has performed well and this wrench has again exceeded expectations.

I got this to go with my 1/2 in and both are outstanding. The power switch is very good with the Auto you cant over tighten.

Great value on a compact easy to use tool. The 3/8 drive is great for most applications and is lighter than the 1/2 drive impact.

The Ryobi ONE+HP 18V Brushless Cordless Compact Impact Wrench is Compact. It is much smaller than the previous version and it is a great tool to have in the garage. I use it when I work on lawn mowers. It can easily remove the bolts/nuts that hold on the lawn mower blades, as well as getting the pulleys off the engine. It’s small, so you can get into tight places, like under a lawn mower, and very powerful. Also the 3/8 in allows for the smaller impact sockets, rather than the larger ½ impact sockets. It takes the standard Ryobi 18 V batteries of which I already have several. There is an LED Light near the base which is in a good place for illuminating tight areas. There are 4 speeds, Lo, Med, High and Auto. The manual says the Auto Mode adjusts the speed to avoid overtightening and loosening in tight space or when working on more delicate areas. Although it is lighter and smaller it feels sturdy and strong in my hand. I know I’ll be using this tool a lot.

Derek…I just read your review and wondered if you had tried the non-brushless Ryobi 3/8” impact that has 220 ft lbs of torque vs. the 160 ft. lbs this brushless model puts out. Ryobi…why didn’t you give the brushless model MORE ft. lbs of torque then the older brushed model ? But as for taking lug nuts off , we always grabbed one of our 1/2” air impacts for taking lugs off , not our 3/8” air impact. My 1/2” air impact is an Ingersoll Rand with 500 ft lbs of torque and while it struggles at first before removing the lugs on my truck or van where as my Ryobi 1/2” 18 volt impact with 300 ft lbs whips them off with no hesitation ! fyi…I do have the Ryobi 3/8” impact but have never tried it on any of my lug nuts.
