I want to say that this is a pretty good deal. The lowest I've seen this impact was $139 and that is factory blemish at DTO [directtoolsoutlet.com]. Also you have to wait until holidays for those sales and it is not free shipping most of the time.

Not a bad deal if you need the batteries/charger. Otherwise try to get the bare tool from DTO.

This thing is legit. It easily loosened head bolts on a Cummins ISX, and those are torqued to 700-800+ ft-lbs.

The $139 was the lowest I saw and paid the $10 shipping when I posted the deal then someone posted the free shipping code and I was able to get a refund of shipping. Was also able to get the inflator for $28 with free shipping during that Cyber Monday weekend. I was able to buy the 2 pack 4.0aH blemished batteries for $45 and if you add a charger to the total this deal is not bad.

It would be a great deal if the max batteries came with this package. Smilie

Thanks for the information on this. It looks like a decent tool from the reviews and decent package for not having any ridgid batteries / charger yet.

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?

You can look into their subcompact 3/8 impact wrench or their impact drivers. I have both from ridgid and they are excellent

Luckily I bought within the past 90 days I bought the tool only for $20 less, so even though these aren't octane or the new max output batteries, for $20 more than I paid this is a killer deal. Returning the tool only and got this. Thanks!

A 9AH Octane. Haven't tried that task with a regular 4AH battery yet.

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.

Ya I saw that also. Apparently the 3ah octane is slightly better than even the new max output 4ah. This deal includes their standard battery but still for the price vs. tool only for $229 you can't beat it. But if intended use is Cummins isx headbolts and truck lugs, consider finding an octane or newer max output

It's the fact it's only a 2 AH battery that hampers it. Put a 2 Ah battery on any impact wrench and it's going to nosedive in torque. I have the Ridgid mid-torque impact wrench and just used it the other day to remove/replace my a lower control arms and while one of my 2 Ah batteries did the job on the drivers side, it wouldn't break the bolt on the passenger side. I stuck my regular 4 Ah battery on and it took it off like butter.
