Impact Driver vs an Impact wrench.
Those are two VERY DIFFERENT tools.
Impact driver is measured in inch pounds (In/lbs). A Impact wrench is measured in foot pounds (Ft/lbs).
For example, this deal includes a impact driver that provides 1,750 in./lbs. which is converted to 145.8333 Ft/lbs.
In comparison; Ridgid's weakest sub compact impact wrench delivers 2700 in/lbs converted to 225 Ft/lbs
The Ridgid's strongest impact wrench delivers 18,000 in/lbs which is converted to 1,500 Ft/lbs.
Just remember, you would use a impact driver to "drive screws" into a deck (pretty much any screw going in to a lumber material like wood), You would use an impact wrench to "wrench" on your vehicle (pretty much any medium machined screw into a machined bolt, metal on metal)

Get the $18 DC motor speed controller switch:
RioRand 7-70V PWM DC Motor Speed Controller Switch 30A

Then the $20 Ridgid battery adaptor to 10 AWG wire:

That way you could dial down the 18v power to closer to 12v so you don't overheat the power wheels ESC and motor. I'm sure that stuff will run a few minutes on 18v, but sooner or later it will overheat and fry. I would dial it down to 12, or maybe 14v for a little "boost"
I would also recommend getting the larger 9ah battery to run a power wheels on. Or one could wire 2 of the adapters up in parallel. So (2) 4.0ah 18 v batteries in parallel would be 8.0ah 18v
Ultimately I would go the route of ZeeDuck and get the SLA battery and fischer price plug. It is just easier.
I believe he was saying that there is not a great big market for reselling these tools on FB market place.
One of the biggest selling points of Ridgid tools is that you get a (LSA) lifetime warranty if you register the tool with in 90 days of purchase. That kind of kills the resell value of these tools, because you likely won't get the LSA when buying the tools used. You could if you state that you are selling them used, ad will provide the receipt so they can register it with in 90 days of the receipt date...

There is a reason why there are a lot of horror stories about the warranty registration. It's easy to get something wrong and they make it look like everything is going fine. Keep checking until they confirm you have it.

Where they also offer chat, a phone number, and email option to quickly fix any registration issues. As long as you submit your registration on time and check to see that it successfully went through, there should be no "horror stories".
