My P261 has a weird issue where it’ll just power up for have a second when I hit the switch and then just turn off. I’m hesitant to send it in for warranty repair because they’ll probably say it’s fine and then I’m stuck with paying the fee to send it in. $159 seems like a good deal to me right now anyway since it’s twice the torque.
Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ua-cam.com/users/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.
I've been hoping and waiting for Ryobi to step up with a more powerful 1/2 impact wrench. My P261 is one of my most used tools, but it just doesn't have the power to break larger fasteners (like on control arms) loose. Looks like Ryobi answered the call. Definitely getting this when it comes out.
I just purchased the P261; so far I'm very happy with that wrench, it does everything i have needed so far. The auto function on the P262 looks like a great feature.
Finally!!!! I was days away from buying a mid torque Milwaukee and I’m a Ryobi nut. Thanks Ryobi and thanks for the video review!! I definitely can’t wait to get my hands on this unit
I rarely pay full price for anything usually wait for a sale however I got the Home Depot link bookmarked and checking weekly... I'm splurging for this 💯💯💯
have you got it on sale? i’m looking to buy one really soon here as my dad is getting older and still uses normal rachets to remove wheel lugs and suspension components
@@cablenowadays6586 Their last-generation, P261 already had enough torque to do suspension and lug nuts (except on large trucks). It often sells as a bare tool for under $100 or even with battery and charger for about $120 on sale or cheaper still as a refurb.
Been on the fence about moving away from the Ryobi platform. Currently have the P261 and it’s been good but there have been a few times I needed more breakaway force and had to pull out the air impact. I do a lot of automotive work. Now I guess I can stick with it for a while longer. Worst part is having to wait for it to hit the shelves now.
Don’t do it especially if in your in the Dewalt line already. The Dewalt mid torque and their high torque impact guns are beasts!! If you have an old Dewalt upgrade to the newer Xr dewalt guns! Ryobi is made for landfills 🤷♂️ my opinion but your money.
@Rick Tony lol we’re not talking about outdoor equipment here. And even then I wouldn’t get any ryobi of that. Haha These are shop tools. Ryobi is durable I’ll give u that and perhaps enough to finish the job. But I prefer quality and no I’m not a brand freak, the other pro brands do just fine too like Makita, and Milwaukee.
John Salcdildo Mate I got the Ryobi soldering iron chainsaw leaf blower wrench gun whipper snippet lawn mower jigsaw and everything I need and I am very with the amount of money I have spent Soldering iron comes with a whole station. Portable and 7 year warranty amd anything goes wrong they just replace at Bunnings. I love my high vis Ryobi tools. They are excellent and great value
I think this line looks more promising than those so called compact line that was announced before. I like what I am seeing with new impact wrenches, but they need to keep the prices more affordable. I think the whole purpose of Ryobi is like having a separate line from Milwaukee, so you don't have to pay premium for every tool you don't really use often.
It is a bit confusing that the price is getting pushed up pretty close to the Milwaukee line...and performance as well. The legitimate gap between the two made the decisions much easier. It does seem to be getting a little muddy/gray now. The great part is, both are making great power tools right now. Thanks for watching.
I am so happy Ryobi is making their way into higher torque impact wrenches. I have a P261 impact wrench and I was really hoping for a brushless eventually, nice to see Ryobi is listening to consumers. Nice review. I wonder if they have an angled impact wrench kinda like the P344 but impact and user assistable in the works.
Yes, it's great to see Ryobi expanding their brushless to the impact wrench line as well. They do not have a right angle impact wrench yet, but maybe soon. Thanks for watching.
Hopefully they come out with a true 3/8” compact that has a size profile close to dewalt’s atomic compact. I have no reason to add a 3/8” impact unless it has a super small profile and I don’t want to start buying different tools and batteries now that I have 4 ryobi HP batteries.
i wanna see the new Ryobi impact wrench compared to the new Milwaukee mid torque in size and performance, but nice review looks like Ryobi is stepping up
I think the new ryobi, might come close to matching the gen 1 mid torque. But it won’t out perform the second gen. Milwaukee is TTIs flagship. So they won’t let ryobi beat a fuel.
@@juanc5149 well of course not, I'm just wondering how much larger is it then the new mid-torque and what is the weight comparison? Cause honestly if you are in Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, or another tool brand it almost makes sense to be in Ryobi too just because they offer some cheap little tools that are beneficial. Like glue gun, hand held inflator that works great when doing wood projects, etc. Plus this new Ryobi is only like $160 compared to the Milwaukee mid torque at $220.
After actually using the Ryobi stuff I don't really care about the comparisons anymore. I'm not stupid. I know Milwaukee is better, but it is overkill for my needs. If Ryobi was cutting out or smoking I would have been moved on to another brand. They will keep on making them stronger because my new Ryobi are stronger than my older Ridgid.
#MeToo I have a 10yr old P260 that will tighten up to about 80 ft-lbs. and was about to go buy a 261. Now I’ll just break lug nuts loose with a breaker bar and zip off with the weak 260 until this beast comes out.
I've got the original single speed Ryobi impact wrench. It's one of the most used tools in my shop. I absolutely love it. Every now and then, though, I find a fastener that it won't break free. Based on your test, I think one of these new hotnesses is coming home with me...
I'm really excited about this product. I was just in the market for a Milwaukee 2861 but I wasn't excited about having to buy another battery system and charger. I already have the ryobi 18v for my nail gun. I can buy the tool only and be ready to go! And I just wanted this in the truck for emergency tire changes and stuff like that while traveling across the US with my travel trailer. Not a mechanic and /or trying to make a living with this tool. Thanks for the great review!!
I had just purchased the Ryobi P-262 impact wrench for my home use. With a rating of up to 600 ' pounds I figured it would exceed my needs. Put a fresh 4 AH battery in it and tried to loosen lug nuts that were torqued to 150. No go so i loosened them and re-torqued to 150. Still no go. I returned the tool to Home Depot and got a refund. Now I wonder - did I get a defective tool??? From all of the YT videos, it appears that the tool is normally great.
I wish you compared the dimensions to their 275ft/lbs compact impact wrench. Is there a way to know how tight we're getting the nuts with these Ryobi impact wrenches? How do we know how many ft./lbs. we're tightening our nuts? Do we need a separate torque wrench? Or does the Ryobi tool have some fairly accurate method for letting us know? Thank you 😊
Right now you can get the high torque ryobi 1/2” impact with 2 4ah hp batteries and a charger for $177 well it’s $279 and you get the grease gun for free then return the grease gun and you get $102 back so bam $177 for their strongest 1/2” impact. This one is also solid but I wish I had the high torque for pressing bearings
Sorry for this dumb question, but I was under the impression Amp hour indicated how long the battery would last. This video implies higher amp hour battery gives more power?
Tti needs to hurry up and release a right angle impact wrench and a sub compact 3/8” impact as small as the dewalt atomic xr. If they had those two tools Ryobi would definitely sell More tools to automotive technicians both starting out and established.
I bought the 3/8 drive impact, then the brushless version came out. I was mad. But according to specs the old brushed version (220 ft lbs) is more powerfull than the new brushless (160 ft lbs). I also have the old brushed version of this 1/2 drive, now i know they are coming out with brushless version. I need to compare the specs of the two. Thank you.
How about a mid-torque 1/2 inch shootout with at least the three TTI Ryobi, Ridgid, and Milwaukee. I know Milwaukee should win but it would be nice to see how close the others are
I started with the 261 ... than added a 262 to the stable. 262 is TWICE the impact! Don't get me wrong, I still use the 261 for basic things, but the 262 is my go to! RYOBI also stands behind their tools ... my FIRST 262 had an internal failure about a year on from purchase ... I sent it back, and they shipped me a BRAND NEW one to replace it. I've slowly, but surely, transitioned all my battery tools to RYOBI over the last couple years. In fact, the only time I turn on my compressor is to air tires! lol
I really enjoyed this review, but would you possible be willing to do a test with this exact impact wrench, but using a 3 or 4 ah one+ battery that is NOT the hp model, so it won't have the two extra terminals? I am exceedingly curious if my relatively new non hp batteries will run this well enough to spend the extra money for it over the 3 speed model.
Powerful for sure. Would like to see that auto-mode just lower the speed to continue loosing the nut all the way instead of just stopping once it's loosened. Otherwise nice impact wrench.
It would be hard to implement such a design like that with a a variable trigger. What's to say you let go of the trigger once loosened? Would it only work in that ”lower speed”? While it's a good idea I can see why it's just not as practical
I have the previous gen Ryobi impact for car repairs and I cant believe the stubborn rusted nuts its backed off. My neighbor saw mine work and bought one.
what would be really helpful (as I am using it to remove car wheels if a mishap in the backcountry) would be to know if at setting 1, 2 what the torque achieved is? Hate to snap off studs when 50 miles in AND don't want 45lbf/ft either - - so I was hopeful this could replace carrying a lug wrench
That's not an accurate power delivery at all. These power modes are very random, and they change drastically based on certain conditions, including battery charge.
@@marcusmagnusson5102 online using Home Depot phone app. Funny when I searched "Ryobi 1/2 impact" I got a list, the add button was available. But if you click on the item. You only see a notify me button. Check often, stocks are limited at the moment, like me you might get lucky.
@@Shoptoolreviews I believe @jeffostroff is interested in the validity of your test bench. Also re using fasteners for testing will skew your results. I'd personally love to see AvE do a proper test on this and compare to your results.
This is so funny so many trying to get into the impact wrench game on youtube. So far there has been only 3 good reviewers for years and now everyone is flooding in with bench tests or trying to copy bench tests. Figure it out on your own Jeff don't be another mancarver tool with no clue what you are actually reviewing.
I guess DeWalt and Milwaukee will have to come out with a 700 ft-lbs+ impact now to up the game. Looks very similar to the DeWalt XR impacts that were out back in 2017. The auto mode looks pretty cool though. Now that HYTORC that you have for setting up the test is a super beast! Nice clamp holding down your test rig too!
Thanks for this video!. I am thinking to grab one but i only have a 1.5aH battery. Do you think it'll be able to remove lugs on my car (all 4 tires) with it ? or will i def need to buy another battery?
In your opinion, for someone who does mild DIY mechanic work and modifications, would it be more useful for me to grab the P261 and P263 for $120 right now, or the P262 for $160? Currently have no impact wrench, so it'd be the first buy!
I would probably get the P262. You're going to need the most power you can get for your first gun, especially if you're removing lug nuts. Come back later and buy a more compact gun. Thanks for watching.
Gotta be honest I love ryobi especially for the battery platform, but lately the prices have been creeping up. This impact is awesome, but for 40$ more you can buy the Milwaukee mid torque.
I'd like to know why you keep changing the battery I know why because I have a pile of Ryobi tools I'd like to donate to you as a matter of fact my 3-year warranty just ran out on my sawzall Ryobi sawzall and a months later the shaft broke and once again I have a pile of smoked drills do that test with a slightly used battery and it will not work I'll guarantee it
It's called a HYTORC LION Torque Gun. It goes up to 700 ft-lbs, but they have one that goes to several thousand ft-lbs. Thanks for watching. ua-cam.com/video/yALFkJz0iSs/v-deo.html
Hmmm, we would agree they're not the most durable tools in the world, but we have used and seen many Ryobi tools that have lasted years. Thanks for watching.
What is taking the PBLIW01B so long to show up for sale? It was announced months ago yet still isnt available.. that one has over 1000 pounds break torque.
not sure what the point of auto mode is. seems incredibly annoying to use in that mode. id rather use my finger to start and stop the impact but maybe thats just me...
Thanks for this video! I am trying to decide if I should get this 600 Model #P262K1 or Ryobi 1170 Model #PBLIW01K1. Not sure if I need all the power the 1170 or just get this one. PLease help
That really depends on what type of work you're doing. Are you removing wheels and tires on a small car or are you doing suspension work on trucks? Big difference.
Just received my p262 over the weekend. Tried using auto mode to loosen the lugs on my wheels but unlike the video, the tool kept running even after impacting stopped. It just slowed down but never came to a complete stop. Did I get a defect?
I have the last model they made, but I'm very impressed with this new impact wrench. I guess I'll be buying me one when they are out on sale. I liked that review if you will. Nice way to tryout for accuracy on those numbers. Awesome, just awesome. 👍👍👍
Borrowed Friends Impact with 4ah batt. My SUV melted/welded on CV axle nut didn't budge after 24hr penetrating oil treatment. Next day at junk yard to find replacement parts, I Tested his impact with one shot of pb blaster on 4 different axle nuts. All zipped off no problem. After seeing this video. I bought one the impact plus 6 amp battery with 6 month to pay off. I never knew I needed this impact in my life till the CV axle replacement issue. 👍💯😍😂💲💰
Home Depot is selling the 261 with battery and charger for $100 the 262 kit is 210 I wish it was $140-150 it would be worth it but double the money... Not so much.
Just a note of interest this wrench and all Ryobi one + come with a 6 yr warranty here in NZ. Standard 4 yr warranty plus extra 2 yr if you register it on Ryobi website...cant beat that I reckon.Great review will be buying this after watching this video...subbed.
I got the p261 on Sale. Used it at a mechanic shop daily, 6 days a week sometimes. 2 and a half years later it's having power problems. I've taken it apart and found it has loose contacts at the rear of it's motor. Unfortunately the motor doesn't come apart so I can't repair it. I may start cutting into it because it's been a reliable tool at everything I've thrown at it! Though, I may upgrade for now...
Hmmm - TTI is making it a tough decision between Ryobi, Ridgid, and Milwaukee. Ridgid and Ryobi seem close, but Ridgid has the lifetime warranty and Ryobi has more tools and both are cheaper than Milwaukee. Milwaukee is the way to go if your a professional and don't mind spending more money. I think the Ridgid's 1/2 impact mid-torque is rated at 620 ft-lbs.
the Ryobi is just inconsistent af that's why 4 anomalies were found. torque test channel shows they tested all types of scenarios on the gun to see why it's inconsistent it is unknown but I think it's their shitty battery designs like always because if you put a Dewalt battery on it it will turn consistent every time 300+ torque tightening.
I just buy this impact wrench in Ryobi char up event where you get a 2 Ah non-HP battery and a charger free. I'm impress that the 2 AH have no trouble for removing my lug nut. Before I still skeptical and always think spend more money to get on Milwaukee. but Ryobi sold me on that.
I live in the Northeast and this thing tore right through those rusted hub bearing bolts , strut mounts, and axle nuts. Game changer if you have no lift to get leverage on those devils. I use the 4 HP battery.
I'm not sure that i understand your statement. We have the work just fine with 3Ah batteries. We agree that these HP tools definitely shouldn't be combined with 1.5 and 2Ah batteries, but the 3 and 4 work just fine. Thanks for watching. 6Ah will give you the best performance.
I hated this video because Home Depot is about separate me from more of my hard earned money and my 3 speed model is still healthy.
Lol. Resist the temptation...or don't . Thanks for watching.
My P261 has a weird issue where it’ll just power up for have a second when I hit the switch and then just turn off.

RYOBI also stands behind their tools ... my FIRST 262 had an internal failure about a year on from purchase ... I sent it back, and they shipped me a BRAND NEW one to replace it. I've slowly, but surely, transitioned all my battery tools to RYOBI over the last couple years. In fact, the only time I turn on my compressor is to air tires! lol
Got this one, just ordered the little guy and missed out on stock for the high impact kit...
7/8 A325 STRUCTURAL BOLT USED WE USED TO HAVE TO TORQUE AT 780 AND 1" 1050FT LBS, 3/4 WAS TORQUED TO 350FT LB
I really enjoyed this review, but would you possible be willing to do a test with this exact impact wrench, but using a 3 or 4 ah one+ battery that is NOT the hp model, so it won't have the two extra terminals? I am exceedingly curious if my relatively new non hp batteries will run this well enough to spend the extra money for it over the 3 speed model.
Just got one from Amazon for $114. Does everything I need it to in my garage.
Powerful for sure. Would like to see that auto-mode just lower the speed to continue loosing the nut all the way instead of just stopping once it's loosened. Otherwise nice impact wrench.
Yes, that's not a bad idea. Some other manufacturers do this, but Milwaukee/Ryobi seem to choose the "stop" route. Thanks for watching.
Probably not allowed to do that as that's Milwaukees deal. Ryobi has to live in the shadow of big red.
It would be hard to implement such a design like that with a a variable trigger. What's to say you let go of the trigger once loosened? Would it only work in that ”lower speed”? While it's a good idea I can see why it's just not as practical
@@mukkena7453 it's how the Milwaukee works...
@@stevetekrv5791 interesting...
"took a few seconds" when LITERALLY it took 1s...
Really1sec really??.....
Count again.
NO
Awesome video. Going to buy one right now. I should say thanks but my wallet says you bastard.
I have the previous gen Ryobi impact for car repairs and I cant believe the stubborn rusted nuts its backed off. My neighbor saw mine work and bought one.
What is that "LiON" tool you used to torque the bolts on? I have never seen something like that
The body of that looks shockingly similar to the Ridgid mid torque... Wonder if TTI has done some badge engineering.
I wish I had one I wish I could find one with the battery and charger
They will probably offer it that way soon. Thanks for watching.
Just got mine at home depot today, came with a charger and 4ah battery for only $100...
Nvm I got the regular one, not the +HP
how much is that hytorc impact you using I want that one please give me price how much that cost ?
what would be really helpful (as I am using it to remove car wheels if a mishap in the backcountry) would be to know if at setting 1, 2 what the torque achieved is? Hate to snap off studs when 50 miles in AND don't want 45lbf/ft either - - so I was hopeful this could replace carrying a lug wrench
That's not an accurate power delivery at all. These power modes are very random, and they change drastically based on certain conditions, including battery charge.
The wife just got me the P262 so far I m loving it.
I just got mine yesterday, like it. 👍 HD$159
Awesome. Glad to hear. Thanks for watching.
where did you buy it?
@@marcusmagnusson5102 online using Home Depot phone app. Funny when I searched "Ryobi 1/2 impact" I got a list, the add button was available. But if you click on the item. You only see a notify me button. Check often, stocks are limited at the moment, like me you might get lucky.
Great video. 👍
Great video! Thankyou sir
Can you tell us more about the fasteners you were using, the length, the width, the nut size, and the socket size?
Are you looking to build your own test rig?
@@Shoptoolreviews I believe @jeffostroff is interested in the validity of your test bench. Also re using fasteners for testing will skew your results. I'd personally love to see AvE do a proper test on this and compare to your results.
@@Shoptoolreviews So, is there an answer to Jeff's question?
Zadnak1 also wondering this. ^
This is so funny so many trying to get into the impact wrench game on youtube. So far there has been only 3 good reviewers for years and now everyone is flooding in with bench tests or trying to copy bench tests. Figure it out on your own Jeff don't be another mancarver tool with no clue what you are actually reviewing.
I guess DeWalt and Milwaukee will have to come out with a 700 ft-lbs+ impact now to up the game. Looks very similar to the DeWalt XR impacts that were out back in 2017. The auto mode looks pretty cool though. Now that HYTORC that you have for setting up the test is a super beast! Nice clamp holding down your test rig too!
Thanks for this video!. I am thinking to grab one but i only have a 1.5aH battery. Do you think it'll be able to remove lugs on my car (all 4 tires) with it ? or will i def need to buy another battery?
1.5ah way too small. Use at least a 6ah, a 10ah is even better.
TORQUE not force. Please get the quantities right.
Thank you for showing what the AUTO mode actually does!
I am very interested for u to push this thing to the limit also im one ur new subscribers very entertaining
In your opinion, for someone who does mild DIY mechanic work and modifications, would it be more useful for me to grab the P261 and P263 for $120 right now, or the P262 for $160? Currently have no impact wrench, so it'd be the first buy!
I would probably get the P262. You're going to need the most power you can get for your first gun, especially if you're removing lug nuts. Come back later and buy a more compact gun. Thanks for watching.
Gotta be honest I love ryobi especially for the battery platform, but lately the prices have been creeping up. This impact is awesome, but for 40$ more you can buy the Milwaukee mid torque.
Sure the impact is 40$ more but then there's the 220$ batteries and charger
Looks like they ripped off ridgid
I agree. Same company, looks like they just repackaged it with the riobi colours. Even the specs are the same. Marketing, marketing...oh well!!!
600 footpounds of force? I tought ftlbs was a way to measure torque
I'd like to know why you keep changing the battery I know why because I have a pile of Ryobi tools I'd like to donate to you as a matter of fact my 3-year warranty just ran out on my sawzall Ryobi sawzall and a months later the shaft broke and once again I have a pile of smoked drills do that test with a slightly used battery and it will not work I'll guarantee it
Sounds like you're frustrated with Ryobi tools. Sorry that you've had issues with them. Thanks for watching.
Its not ft-lbs, its lb-ft.... why is this so hard for people
Just bought this to help out replacing suspension on my rusty 200k mile Focus. It worked like a charm through all the corrosion.
That's awesome! So glad that it worked for you. Thanks for watching.
I'm wondering if the P262 has those brushless tabs for the 3ah, 6ah, and 9ah brushless batteries...
Yes, it does. Twin tabs at the base of the tool for the HP batteries. Thanks for watching.
Take it outside and buzz some lugs off a car, a 1/2 ton p /u, a diesel dually.... otherwise..... so what
Okay. Thanks for watching.
Still waiting on a uk 🇬🇧 release for this thing 😒
What was the torquing tool you used in the video? How high will it torque something?
It's called a HYTORC LION Torque Gun. It goes up to 700 ft-lbs, but they have one that goes to several thousand ft-lbs. Thanks for watching.

Fuck Ryobi, not single tool I've bought from them has lasted one year. I have lots of power tools that are more than ten years old!
Hmmm, we would agree they're not the most durable tools in the world, but we have used and seen many Ryobi tools that have lasted years. Thanks for watching.
Im still using a 2020 model i have but that thing through hell it is a brushed one aswell its still alive
Keep using it if it works for you. No need to spend money for no reason. Thanks for sharing.
What is taking the PBLIW01B so long to show up for sale? It was announced months ago yet still isnt available.. that one has over 1000 pounds break torque.
Does this work with 1.5 mah battery
not sure what the point of auto mode is. seems incredibly annoying to use in that mode. id rather use my finger to start and stop the impact but maybe thats just me...
We hear you, and agree. However, there are users out there that like these Auto modes. Thanks for watching.
Finally
Good stuff. Thanks for watching.
Broken weld not a big deal. That set up has seen alot of torture!
Lol. No doubt!! Thanks for noticing. It's already welded up and ready for battle again. Thanks for watching.
Do you think this tool might be using some of the old Milwaukee internals to make this happen?
They definitely share technology. TTi makes the Ryobi and Milwaukee tools. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video! I am trying to decide if I should get this 600 Model #P262K1 or Ryobi 1170 Model #PBLIW01K1. Not sure if I need all the power the 1170 or just get this one. PLease help
That really depends on what type of work you're doing. Are you removing wheels and tires on a small car or are you doing suspension work on trucks? Big difference.
@@Shoptoolreviews I just want to change my tires and do my brakes from time to time. Nothing too major
NOT on sale $139 tool only.... GREAT DEAL - IMO
Still not a bad deal. Thanks for watching.
Do they sell it in US? I can’t find it at home depot website !
Yeah, meh, I'm not planning to wait much longer.
Supposed to be released in February. Thanks for watching.
Just received my p262 over the weekend. Tried using auto mode to loosen the lugs on my wheels but unlike the video, the tool kept running even after impacting stopped. It just slowed down but never came to a complete stop. Did I get a defect?
I have the last model they made, but I'm very impressed with this new impact wrench. I guess I'll be buying me one when they are out on sale. I liked that review if you will. Nice way to tryout for accuracy on those numbers. Awesome, just awesome. 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching.
Today is the day for your sale.
Borrowed Friends Impact with 4ah batt. My SUV melted/welded on CV axle nut didn't budge after 24hr penetrating oil treatment. Next day at junk yard to find replacement parts, I Tested his impact with one shot of pb blaster on 4 different axle nuts. All zipped off no problem. After seeing this video. I bought one the impact plus 6 amp battery with 6 month to pay off. I never knew I needed this impact in my life till the CV axle replacement issue. 👍💯😍😂💲💰
Why are you screaming?
Very impressive tool from ryobi
Doesnt Milwaukee make a 1/2 that does 1100ft/lbs of breakaway though?
Yes, they do, but it's more expensive. Thanks for watching.
the ryobi has alot more impacts per minute
but the milwaukee has 1400 ft/lbs of torque
That'll work off roading eh? Thanks for covering this tool.
You bet. Thanks for watching.
Home Depot is selling the 261 with battery and charger for $100 the 262 kit is 210 I wish it was $140-150 it would be worth it but double the money... Not so much.
Didn't work on breaking a crv crank pulley bolt with a weighted socket 😵 maybe i need a 6ah battery. I think ill jist sell it and go Milwaukee now
Correction i used a impact socket and ot did it , im guessing the heavy weighted socket robbed power
Great to hear that worked. Thanks for letting us know.
Just a note of interest this wrench and all Ryobi one + come with a 6 yr warranty here in NZ. Standard 4 yr warranty plus extra 2 yr if you register it on Ryobi website...cant beat that I reckon.Great review will be buying this after watching this video...subbed.
I guess I am sold.
I got the p261 on Sale. Used it at a mechanic shop daily, 6 days a week sometimes. 2 and a half years later it's having power problems. I've taken it apart and found it has loose contacts at the rear of it's motor. Unfortunately the motor doesn't come apart so I can't repair it. I may start cutting into it because it's been a reliable tool at everything I've thrown at it!
Though, I may upgrade for now...
how much ft lbs has mode 1 and 2
Hmmm - TTI is making it a tough decision between Ryobi, Ridgid, and Milwaukee. Ridgid and Ryobi seem close, but Ridgid has the lifetime warranty and Ryobi has more tools and both are cheaper than Milwaukee. Milwaukee is the way to go if your a professional and don't mind spending more money. I think the Ridgid's 1/2 impact mid-torque is rated at 620 ft-lbs.
the Ryobi is just inconsistent af that's why 4 anomalies were found. torque test channel shows they tested all types of scenarios on the gun to see why it's inconsistent it is unknown but I think it's their shitty battery designs like always because if you put a Dewalt battery on it it will turn consistent every time 300+ torque tightening.
I just buy this impact wrench in Ryobi char up event where you get a 2 Ah non-HP battery and a charger free. I'm impress that the 2 AH have no trouble for removing my lug nut. Before I still skeptical and always think spend more money to get on Milwaukee. but Ryobi sold me on that.
I live in the Northeast and this thing tore right through those rusted hub bearing bolts , strut mounts, and axle nuts. Game changer if you have no lift to get leverage on those devils. I use the 4 HP battery.
Hey, nice review. Is it better than Rigid Octane R86011B? Iam confused between these two. Wanna buy impact for home use to work on my vehicle
RYOBI , BRUSHLESS TOOLS NEED , 6AHR BATTERIES TO WORK PROPERLY
I'm not sure that i understand your statement. We have the work just fine with 3Ah batteries. We agree that these HP tools definitely shouldn't be combined with 1.5 and 2Ah batteries, but the 3 and 4 work just fine. Thanks for watching. 6Ah will give you the best performance.
