Are Impacts Made FOR Black Friday Any Good?

[@Xeonerable]

Ryobi kinda killing it lately with price-to-performance ratio on their tools in my opinion. TTC and ProjectFarm are my go-to's for checking out how well a power tool does. Great work!

[@F150fx2sporT]

I’ve had my 1/2 inch for about 3 years. Not a problem. Not a problem taking bolts off either or lug nuts

[@abxsed7709]

I recently bought the Ryobi for 99$ I work in a tire shop and so far it’s been great ofc not as much power as my air impact. But it has held up had no problem busting lug nuts battery lasts all day. Not the best cordless impact but definitely worth the price

[@TorqueTestChannel]

Yup, it exactly falls into that characterization I feel. Not mentioned in the video, the Ryobi seemed to last longer on a 4ah battery, the Ridgid was constantly dropping a bar after runs.

For your average Joe that might rotate tires once a year and do a brake job every now and then these impacts are perfect. They will probably last years and shure as heck are better than hand tools. Would make a great gift too.

[@tomr3422]

I worked as a Diesel Tech for 17 years, still keep up with all of the tools as we didnt have cordless stuff at the time, I have a Milwaukee 3/8 and 1/2, the Avid Power 3/8 and 1/2 and the ridged 1/2 I have used all of them around the house and they all decent for what the average DIY would need, If you need more then that you really need to go to pnuematic tools. I have never been a big Ryobi fan maybe its the color, I would think any of them would be great, not often that you need 500ftlbs especially on a car or truck.

Nice to see the underdog Ryobi outshine one of the brother models and have a respectable entry level gun. I hated the previous P261 model because that POS could barely do lugnuts and other automotive tasks. This will make an excellent gift for DIYers and newbies. Great testing as always TTC.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

I agree on the value of Ryobi and the P261 being a bit short of being very useful and recommendable for anything. I think 2022 is the 1st year a cordless $99 kit impact is a good buy all around.

[@dcgo44r]

Well I bought it for working in my suspension from 98' and haven't let me down, sure it takes more time, but faster than setting my Compressor up, hooking everything, waiting for air up, uncoiling the hose.. At the end It does all of work on the highest setting LoL but gets the job done, for me anyway, maybe I just being lucky. It even took off my front axle nuts!

[@Senkino5o]

@@dcgo44r I find when doing light vehicle suspension work that a big impact doesn't fit very well, I generally use a right-angle or the Milwaukee M12 compact, I guess it depends on what it is. On the other hand when you start putting universals or adaptors on you lose enough torque that I doubt your avg. DIY shtstick would get the job done.

You guys got majorly creative with the script writing. Great job you guys. These videos are really incredible.

[@blattferenc9647]

New video idea for modifying tools with brushless motors: Do a SHUNT MOD. You find the current shunt on the driver board and lower its resistance by adding a thin wire in parallel or coating it with a layer of solder. In theory you can trick the motor controller to supply more current, than it should. This is commonly done to ebike controllers to increase power.

I have been using a pair of P260's for 9 years now (technically, one for almost 11 years). This includes standard home/shadetree mechanic stuff plus a lot more. I run a 24 hours of Lemons racing team so three races a year, lots of repairs at track, lots of wheels removed/installed for nightly nut-and-bolt checks plus we built two of the cars with them. Then there are the parts cars we buy to support the habit (spares), part out and finally crush. Finally, I have used them in the Pick-n-Pull for the race cars and my string of hooptie daily drivers. They are not great at all but they are plenty good enough for all but Buick 3800 harmonic balancer bolts (they laugh at Hondas and their weighted sockets) and the lug nuts on my F250. One has developed andissue where it randomly stops every 5 seconds in cold weather until it warmsup from work. Yep...I bought their battery infrastructure when it was still blue and NiCad for a batttery drill and they had their hooks in me ever since.

I upgraded my Ryobi P261 to the P262 which was a free tool when I bought the Ryobi 18V half inch hammer drill kit. The P262 out performs my P261 when breaking loose the lug nuts on my Ram pickup truck. I have other Ryobi cordless/corded tools with no complaints. I value all of your test. P.S. I heard that the Porter Cable & Craftsman from S.B&D are non identical twins also. Keep’m coming

[@georgestweeter]

I bought some of the Ryobi 18v cordless inflator kits as Christmas presents for my sisters. $59 for the inflator, a 1.5ah battery and a charger. Having a portable inflator in your car is invaluable, just like jumper cables and/or a jump box. With my 10% military discount they were $54 each, and you cant beat that price for a good portable inflator even with the no name chinese brands on Amazon, they're all around $50. And it being a Ryobi gives them a good tool platform for if they ever need to get tools in the future.

[@steveboyer2976]

Awesome deal right now at HD: Ryobi brushless hammer drill/driver with 2 High Performance 2AH batteries AND comes with a free additional brushless tool. I got the new high torque impact (PBLIW01B). All for $159. No better deal out there!

[@999benhonda]

I have the ryobi impact...was $100 for tool only years ago. Lawn mower blade bolts, engine and suspension work, wheels...I've used it a lot. In years, I've only had a few times the ryobi couldn't get the job done. I finally ran into a 8" blade/spindle bolt on a zero turn that the ryobi couldn't touch...nor could heat, pb blast and a 3' breaker bar. I ended up buying the ryobi 1200ftlb brushless impact tool for $200...it zipped the bolt out. I still use the older one for most stuff, it is physically smaller and the bigger one actually has enough grunt to break stuff.

[@ricksanchez3176]

I'm not Red Army, I got them because I need good tools, and won't have two batteries. An older guy I do have Rigid. We ran 3" deck screws into a lifting rig to pull a water tank using his rigid.

[@stevenmenary2862]

I watched this episode and it inspired me. I had just purchased a Avid torque wrench off the jungle site but it wouldn't screw a lag bolts into some old pine 2x6 much less loosen my truck lugs. Note I torque my wheels at 150 ft. Pounds. After watching this video I sent the impact back to the jungle and went to the depot. Out of 3 depot stores there was only one impact in stock at the 3 stores near me and got myself the last one. Not only sank a lug bolt but that little Ryobi took my truck lugs off like they were nothing and put them back on at same torque that was checked with a torque wrench at 150 ft. Lbs. and could have gone higher. The Ryobi 265 is awesome at only $99.00 A note, most good torque don't come with batteries and definitely not 4.0 Ah. Or chargers. I think this video was the reason the depot was out of them. Thanks so much for the video.

[@MasteringMayhem]

Man, that RYOBI is definitely worth it. I'm a fan of RIDGID too but for the price and performance... RYOBI gets my money.

I got the Ryobi one+ HP hammer drill with 2 2ah HP batteries and a P262 for $160. Seemed like a good deal to me, I know the impact isn't the most powerful but being I didn't have a hammer drill or a mid torque, I couldn't pass it up.

Really impressive how much more power the new Ryobi puts out vs the P261 well staying the same price. That alone is worth celebrating. Beating it's more expensive brother is icing on the cake. You guys should test an old P260 just for fun and to see how far we've come.

Seems like the real deal was the Ryobi high torque brushless with the HP battery for $159. That was by far the best beans per dollar buy of the season.

[@joshm2243]

So glad you did a review on both of these. I'm actually considering buying the Ryobi PCL265. I currently have the Ryobi P262, I've had it for a while and honestly the torque is beyond what I need for home shade tree, weekend warrior, diy'er work. I also think the torque is not very well balanced, something I've noticed with almost all ryobi tools: impact wrench, reciprocating saw, etc. The torque is everywhere, bad tool balance and vibration, poor trigger control.

[@banusbaby]

I always like to route for the underdog so have always had a soft spot for ryobi...but here in Ireland we don't get bf or holiday deals on Ryobi for some reason and in the big box stores that sell ryobi it's priced roughly the same as the likes of DeWalt or Makita....and DeWalt particularly here have decent deals from time to time .... Milwaukee is priced crazy money here...and range is only just starting to expand beyond main drills and impacts.

[@wjgood7599]

I am on the Ridgid 18v platform, and am still filling out my battery collection.

[@nzobrist6525]

[@WompWompWoooomp]

I realize impact drivers aren't as fun as impact wrenches, but apparently the 4 mode Ryobi full size HP impact driver is significantly more powerful than the p238 it replaced, even though they both claim the same torque rating. Given that Ryobi has been pretty honest with its torque ratings on impact wrenches as of late, it'd be interesting to see if that holds up with impact drivers as well. Edit: Mancaver Tools did a comparison a little while back, but he doesn't have the setup you guys do

[@wmc128]

The older P238 is way better than the newer hp. Both tools are brushless but mag tray better is the cheaper plastic mold used for HP rebrand.

[@JulianA-tr6pt]

Not sure how it'd test on here, with its 2200in/lb rating (about 180ft/lb), but I'll say the 4-mode can remove lug nuts without struggle with a 1/2 adapter, and it easily overshot 100ft/lb putting them back on. I got one in the hammer drill kit. Glad I did, I ended up needing to mount a post support in concrete. Came with one 2ah and one 4ah battery which also sold me. Both good tools.

[@dcgo44r]

The one thing I hate about the p238 is the collet where you put the bits, it trips most of the time while taking out or putting in the bit and lock on its own having to reset it in order to put the bit back! Ridgid didn't have that problem, nor Milwaukee! Not sure if that was the reason for such a short shelve life!

[@emmettturner9452]

Got the DeWALT Atomic drill and impact driver set myself from Home Depot’s BF sale. DCD708 and DCF809. Advertised with 2x 1.3Ah for Black Friday but came with 2x 1.5Ah like the usual non-BF bundle. Very recent MFG date (August) but I hear they specifically switch to 1.3Ah for promotional deals like this. The difference in is really Japanese (Panasonic) vs LG/Samsung 18650 cells. Hoping to use the impact driver for masonry bits (drill chuck adapter) and lug nuts (impact socket adapter).

[@emmettturner9452]

Well, I did three of four wheels just fine until the last one. I broke my roadside emergency impact wrench (seized) and snapped the impact socket adapter with my DCF809. Not a single lug nut would come off even with a few hundred pounds jumping up and down on my breaker bar. Ultimately I had to use my butane micro torch and squelch with WD-40, THEN jump up and down on the breaker bar. Even then, three of the five lug nuts were too damaged to thread onto a hood stud by hand, and the threads sheared right off one of the studs forming a perfect coil/spring/slinky of thread. The hub was visibly less rusty (plenty of shiny metal) and there was body damage around there from the previous owner with junkyard paint numbers on the rim, so it’s clear that was a newly replaced hub that some jerk installed with truly ridiculous torque. The whole experience was so painful I’m now in the market for a high torque, hence, revisiting these videos a month later. :)

[@kylefowler5082]

These days all you are getting with Ridgid is an older gen Milwaukee with the Lifetime Service Agreement. Good luck with that LSA though, they have had my Jobmax for repair for three months now, which is a new record however usually they take about 2 months to fix a broken tool. With Kobalt you can take a broken tool right back to Lowe's and swap that bad boy out. It's a 5 year warranty on the tool and a three year warranty on the battery. Just like Milwaukee except you don't even have to mail anything. That seems like a better deal

[@jarretgosbee7717]

I'd take the $99 ryobi any day. I just wish it was HP or brushless so the batteries are a bit more relevant. If you have this kit, then it makes getting a HP drill/driver a bit difficult since the batteries aren't HP and you know you're leaving power on the table. Or maybe that's their strategy to get you into the HP batteries?

[@Internutt2023]

The one thing nice thing about Ryobi tools is, they kept the same battery configuration for over 15 years, and the tools I bought from them in the early 2000's are still plugging away using the latest lithium batteries they offer. Some may think that the "1 contact" connection in the battery is flawed, but, I have not had any issue in any Ryobi cordless tool I have because of it, and I own close to 2 dozen of them.

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

I just recently where Ryobi's warranty stipulates that at least some of their tools aren't intended for contractor usage. Though, I commonly have used/abused them in the past; like burning through a job, without mercy until the job was done or the job was done or my batteries were all depleted. I've seen videos where products failed straight outta the box, sometimes smoking or fireworks imitations. I've never had any issues with my Ryobi stuff. I may have had 1 or 2 very brief thermal cutouts, but I couldn't say for sure. Hell, I was ready for a break long before I reached that point. I've been around power tools all my life and learned to use and not use them from professionals or at least journeyman. I usually can tell when a tool is at it's yield point, and I can run them as hard as they're able to go. I still feel the need to step up to 'Contrator-Level', likely the DeWalt line due their new battery technology, and overall package size, when I next add to my arsenal.

I see how you didn't talk ill about the tool but choose a female character in your story in a field predominantly by man, that also prefer other kind of tools! 😂

[@sonnyyellowhair]

Do the same torture test on the new Hercules brushless that you did in the Milwaukee 1/2”

[@tshackelton]

What about the ole Mikwaukee 1/2" brushed that they sling this time of year?

[@europa.]

New mic? Sounds better than usual!

[@tkskagen]

Because of Branding (and Because of what I own) I would be partial torward the $139 RIGID. These are ½" Drive, how do the ⅜" Impacts "Measure Up"?

[@edwinhoward6530]

would love to see brushed Milwaukee tested and where it ranks.

[@aidanmclauchlin7832]

I would love to see if you do anymore wrenches gray tools from Canada, I swear by them

[@oculophilia8724]

Thanks for reminding me about made-for-BF stuff... Thought it was just TVs and stuff. Does anyone know where I can learn more about this phenomenon? KZbin is just turning up sales vids of course...

I’m buying the Ryobi right now.

[@fuzzycuffs]

Hey you should do some tests on the new Denali tools on Amazon. They look like Amazon branded SKIL tools, but come out cheaper. Curious if they're the same and simply different branding, or they're different to account for difference in price.

[@dasfahrer8187]

I don't know if you're into looking into electronics internals for TV's, home theater, computers, etc... and appliances, I've read several reports that Black Friday/Cyber Monday items don't have the same internals as the items they sell at full retail. Would be curious to know if this is actually true or just people flinging the shitstick around.

[@theiceman979]

I Believe that’s true they do make specific models just for Black Friday. I wouldn’t say all models on sale are tho double check the model numbers if you can’t find anything beside the bf deal it’s a bf model.

[@patricklim909]

home depot still giving you a 3/8 impact with the Ryobi kit, can't say no to that though brush motor for both.

[@waterop4]

You weren't kidding TTC I got on the Ryobi plantation oops I meant platform and I just can't get off...lol

[@NiSE_Rafter]

I wish we could buy the Ryobi tool only for less. Everything keeps coming in kits! I don't need a 4th Ryobi charger! If I could save $50 on the battery and charger I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

Only as a kit aimed to hook new power tool buyers onto thier battery platform
