This thing is legit. It easily loosened head bolts on a Cummins ISX, and those are torqued to 700-800+ ft-lbs.
It would be a great deal if the max batteries came with this package.
I see from an online review with measurements that the three "AUTO" modes give fastening torques somewhere in the rough neighborhood of 68, 229, and 359 ft. lbs. respectively before they stop due to the auto stop.
That's fine I guess if one is fastening things that have torque specifications well over those numbers which some things do but many things do not (this being a high torque wrench model after all).
So what I'm wondering now is if I'm going to have to deal with a lot of fastenings that need to be torqued well under the 68 ft. lbs. figure of the lowest auto setting for this tool, e.g. in the 10-35 ft. lbs. range what should I be looking at for an electric driver or impact tool that can be set to stop at torque levels in that low range but still has decent power for fastening and removing things at lower torque values than the minimum of this tool?
I was going to get the mid-torque impact wrench kit from RIDGID but OOS and this high torque version does seem useful for some things.
Also I guess tool / socket size can be a problem because not all tools / sockets will fit around the smaller lower torque bolts so just getting
the still relatively large mid-torque ridgid seems kind of not the best complement to this. So what next?
Some one of the stubby / sub-compact / right angle impact wrenches?
Maybe an "impact driver" or just "drill driver" without impact?
I'm not so clear on what the best tool combination / pairing is for the job is in the 5-50 ft. lb. range where size is an issue and max. torque for fastening is also?
Too bad there isn't an "even lower" auto mode with like 20 ft. lb. torque max. fastening.
For those of you that use this tool or similar high range one, what other tools do you use for most general lower torque things above
where a typical generic "electric screwdriver" might typically be at its limit?

ETA:
It looks like a standard battery really hampers this thing. Here's the Torque Test Channel testing the tool, and they try a "standard" battery at the 7:13 mark. Not sure exactly which battery they used, but it cuts output almost in half.
