ordered mine in UK sale today down from £169 to £119 . what i liked was ryobi demo man saying it is ok to use it as a hand wrench without damaging it to shift over tensions bolts, that sold it for me when i have seen so many others electric ratchet brake with hand use!
2023. Bought it on sale :) Much better than using the clickety clack manual Socket wrench. Just need an impact driver for tire sockets and im good to go.
It’s producing more than 55 lbs/ft but you have that adapter on there which is causing some loss in torque. This tool was able to hit 72 lbs/ft tightening on ttc’s dyno was able to get one for $130 when Home Depot wouldn’t honor their online ryobi days deal and made me wait over an hour to talk to a manager. Pretty great tool over all especially when paired with the p262 impact wrench. Not much you can’t do with those two.
I'm in the ryobi family. Honestly they should have designed a battery specifically for this tool. I would love to get this tool, but that big base doesn't do it for me. If they come out with a different design, I'll reconsider.
@Roof Korean yeah, but this doesn't guarantee that you can clear spaces when using. I've been in situations where I couldn't use an air ratchet, so I know I can't use this. Maybe that fat-ass bottom battery base will work for you, but it won't do for me 4 positions or not.
@@cmoney220 one of the big reason I bought three Milwaukee ratchets, you can use slim or bigger and more powerful batteries, all depends on if you got the space or not.
If you're gonna buy a new battery just get a Milwaukee. Ryobi has kept their 18v batteries the same for decades and it's what brings people into the family.
Naahh, you cheated a bit @3:54, just a little manual twist to help it along, not just by pressing the switch a couple of times. I don't mind this seems to be a well worth tool to add to my Ryobi collection, I love the fact that my multiple-year-old (is it over a decade even, I'm not sure when One+ came to Sweden) drill driver still works and uses the same batteries.
I've got a Ryobi angle drill from 20 years ago, similar tool but fitted with a chuck, and it has a rotating battery holder. Strange that Ryobi has decided to make the wrench adjustable rather than keeping the rotating battery since that is a better design.
Ryobi also used to make a blue angle grinder with a rotating battery holder which makes a lot more sense. I"d be willing to bet it"s a cost savings decision to have the head rotate instead of the battery. Ryobi is always...always looking for ways to shave a half-cent off of a product for bigger profits.
@@eugenevalentine925 yea, can’t help when their stuff is manufactured in China. You should check out Home Depot because they are having trouble stocking their tools for the holidays. Their ryobi and Milwaukee stands at the gift center is like empty.
@@eugenevalentine925 yeah seriously. I’m in love with those new wrench sets. But each set is like $120 for $15 pieces which is ok. $240-ish for both SAE and Metric.

@@eugenevalentine925 I have borne the 1/2 and 3/8 M12 stubby with a 6 amp and 2 amp battery. Bought them from people on offer up.

Just picked up that same combo, (this ratchet, 3/8" HP impact @ 160 ft lbs torque, 1.5ah battery, smart charger). They also have a kit w/ this ratchet, the Ryobi P262 1/2" impact wrench - 450ish ft lbs tightening torque, 600 ft lbs breakaway - I believe a 2ah battery & charger for $239.....if I didn't already have Rigid's comparable, (slightly more powerful) Octane 1/2" impact wrench, I definitely would've jumped on the latter kit, instead. But either way, I was waiting for the right deal on this ratchet (had initially bought @ $159, then returned, being defiant about paying full-price, lol!), then picked up the 1/4" version, (only 40 ft lbs, so 15 ft lbs less, BUT 260 RPM vs 230 for this/the 3/8") w/ a battery & charger for $159, ($10 less than bare tool price), but was DEAD SET on owning this one, between the 2 (seen this break nuts free torqued at 65 ft lbs....that extra oomph is invaluable to me, tho this IS a nut-runner....but still...makes a difference), so FINALLY scored the deal I could live with. LOVE THIS RATCHET. Would I rather have the extended reach Milwaukee? Of course....but power on this is same, head not as bulky & I'm ALREADY invested in Ryobi (& Rigid), so as a DIYer, just can't justify the Milwaukee's price, (ntm, batteries, charger, etc). No..this bad-boy is EXACTLY what I want, need & am comfortable with, price-wise (a decision I came to after MONTHS of OBSESSIVE research, a handful of purchases of competing brands & scouring the net). THIS is, IMHO, THE BEST bang for my buck. Great video/review. THANKS! 🙏🏼 #SUBSCRIBED💯👍🏽
@@richardmejia254 I got the combo with 600 1/2 impact. I used both already working on my truck multiple times. They have more powerful impact now but want around 200 bucks just for tool. I already had multiple batteries so I didn’t have to worry about that.
Good review. I have the standard model but might consider this whenever they show up at Direct Tools. Off topic but wondering if you have the 40v inverter station. Would love to get a time review on one similar to your battery reviews on the 2 smaller inverters. I know it's a pricey piece so understand if it's not currently on the table. Keep the great reviews coming.
Paying over $500.00 is not cheap. Companies are scamming buyers by selling it without a battery & charger. So buying it for $180 will not remove anything.
That ratchet can do 55 ft lb just not on a freakin half inch lug and 1 inch nut, nobody is using that ratchet to run nuts with that big of a socket. Not a real life review on this tool
Bs when u broke it loose with the torque wrench the video stopped recording first but when u tighten it down with the torque wrench and then loosened it with the ryobi u didn't show us what the torque was set at on the torque wrench itself. Also u gave the ryobi wrench a manual push to help it out when it wouldn't brake the nut loose itself. Your promoting and getting paid or getting free tools. Nice try dude.

Nice review! I just bought the 1/4" and 3/8" combo, tools only, for $152 from Home Depot. Can't wait for them to arrive!
Just bought it and its pretty impressive, you really notice those extra 15ft of torque. Nice review.
There's other reviews on YT where they're only getting 30 ft/lbs of torque out of this ratchet.
@@daveclark8337 comes down to the battery being used too

The breaking torque on fastener is always lower than the tightening torque.
they have a kit where you get the high torqor this and the grease gun for 300
Can you tell me what attachment you used that was telling you the torq when you undid the bolts

What’s the difference? Either way the battery rotates. I think having the head rotate is a better design. More efficient use of materials.

Broke how? Stopped working, or physicall broke?

So, does this have "lock" so you can break free the bolt by hand? Thanks.
It’s always locked, you can use it as a wrench anytime
