If you expect to use this to loosen or tighten fastener's be aware the manual warns against manual use and Ryobi themselves has confirmed on the original product page Q&A here

https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../312491503

Manual itself says

NOTICE:
Do not turn the tool off and attempt to use the tool manually to gain extra torque on the nut or bolt being tightened. Doing so could cause damage to the fastener and/or the tool.

answer from Ryobi

August 7, 2020
Hi Want2Buy. Thanks for your interest in the RYOBI Brand. This RYOBI 18-Volt ONE+ Cordless 3/8 in. 4-Position Ratchet (Tool Only) cannot be used manually. Doing so could cause damage to the fastener
and/or the tool. - Eve

I personally contacted them (Fastener has to be wrong above lol) and got point blank clarification it can't be used like every other ratchet (including the HD Husky) to manually break loose a fastener and then spin it off quickly using the tools power.

"Thank you for choosing RYOBI. I am sorry you are having a hard time understanding how you use your Ratchet. To be clear, you are asking if the can be used to break the bolt lose before running the ratchet. The answer is no. Unless you are engaging the battery power and pulling the trigger to break the bolt lose you should not use this tool to manually loosen anything. If you cannot loosen the bolt by running the ratchet alone you will need some other tool to loosen the bolt. An Impact wrench may work better in this case. Please let me know if you have further questions."

The specs are fine.

You use these tools like you would use a regular non-powered ratchet by pushing/pulling on it to break the fastener loose, then you squeeze the trigger to zip it the rest of the way out. It only needs enough torque to overcome the friction and gunk on the threads.

In comparison, the VERY popular Milwaukee M12 [homedepot.com] version of this tool is 35 ft-lbs and 250rpm.

The biggest drawback of this Ryobi version is the size of the battery hanging off the end may prevent you from getting it into tight spots. Being able to rotate the head might help with that, but will then put the trigger in a potentially awkward location.
I had been watching for this and bought it from Direct Tools for $50 back in January (tool only). I work on engines/cars a lot and this has been very handy so far. I have an air ratchet but did not use it much because dragging the air hose around and it is SO LOUD. No this is not a torque monster but that is not what I needed it for and I already have other Ryobi products. I recommend it!

Edit: I should mention, the ONLY thing that annoys me is the direction selector on the back of the head is so small. It is difficult at times and impossible with gloves (for me). I still love having the tool and use it a lot.
You are completely forgetting the "but I want it" factor!

I was literally about to buy the tool only version a few hours ago for $80. Glad I hesitated! Repped!

Are these specs inadequate for typical uses of the tool? Is it something that would let me down for average work around an engine?

I am of a certain age where I can only relate to what a Chevy small block requires. YMMV.

Get the ryobi or wait for the Husky 12v ratchet to go on sale? 🤔

The Husky goes on sale for around $50 and comes with sockets and a hard case.

The Ryobi has interchangeable batteries. Both have around the same torque.

Husky looks like a "smaller" tool.

EDIT

eh, an impact driver with a right-angle attachment (which I already have) can do whatever a cordless ratchet can do and with more torque.

Unless you're working in 'really' tight spaces and/or with delicate machinery I see no special use for a cordless ratchet.

I am not sure what this is for. However, can this be used for a oil pan for oil changes? Or does everyone use a drill?

Eeek, I kind of hope you are kidding. In case you are not there is one bolt to remove the oil pan drain bolt on MOST cars if it is not hidden by skid plates and other panels. I suggest you do those with a hand ratchet or wrench because once that bolt is messed up it can be a lot of work.
