They have a few other items for "1/2" off.

As usual DTO $15 shipping to consider. Still cheaper than last week.

I guess DTO isn't the best at math. In my order from last week the 40% sale, the impact is listed as 120$ marked 40% off the 199 regular price. Today the 80$ price is listed as 50% off the 160 regular price. I get marketing, I get "sales" I still hate it. I don't regret buying this previously at 120 as I've needed it for a year. I have several other Ridgid tools, a couple other Ridgid impacts and this is useful when pulling a pinion gear or larger truck lug nuts that someone over torqued.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Deals like these are why I went with Ridgid. Maybe they're not always best (although this tool is their crown jewel and has a legitimate claim to one of the best high torque) but they're always damn good tools and if you're patient enough you can get everything you want at bottom tier tool prices. Definitely cementing itself as the best bang for your buck brand.

A lot of people don't want/can't justify paying for top tier but also don't want cheap garbage. Ridgid is the brand for folks like that. I used to be a fan of Kobalt, but their deals are so sporadic and vary based on location that it can be frustrating. Hercules new brushless line up intrigues me, but until they've proven themselves Ridgid is king in this market. The LSA is just the icing on the cake.
Wished I waited. I bought this in 2022 😔 great price!
Wow, 5 years, good for them. That warranty is apparently new and only applies to certain tools, others are just 90 days.

There's really few problems with LSA, as long as people follow through on the registration. And when the batteries wear out, all batteries eventually do, a simple phone call gets new ones sent on their way.


Factory Blems from DTO can be registered for the LSA. There's even a DTO selection on the registration form for where it was purchased. And even though it says to mail in the receipt, I've always just uploaded it and if the registration hasn't processed in a few weeks, just send them a note asking them to review it and it goes right through.

I hope the average Joe knows how much power this has. More likely to break off the bolts then extract them in the rust belt.
they don't... dude above asked if it'll take off lugs on his Civic Wink
just wait until they put the lugs back on with it too...

I would not trust Direct Tool - Factory Outlet, they buy reject /return tools for customer returns from HD. Batteries DOA, combo parts missing battery charger and missing batteries. Buyer beware!
You must be thinking of Tools Direct, which can have great deals but a rather hit or miss reputation.

Factory blems from Direct Tools Outlet are indistinguishable from new. They probably are new overstock, just being sold as "blemished" as an excuse to be at the outlet store and so Home Depot doesn't have to price match them.

I ordered the same tool last week at $120 free ship. Is it possible to get DTO to do a price match?

I keep seeing this pop up every few months and think I should jump on it, at this price its VERY tempting.

I currently use the mid torque on my cars and havent had an issue where I needed more. Was able to remove Harmonic Balancer on a 20 year old honda.

I just dont know when / where I would actually need this.

I literally just ordered this for 120 during the sale. Anyone know how easy it is to cancel or modify an order?
I did the same thing, purchased the wrench at $120 last week, and it still hasn't even shipped. I called DTO just a minute ago at 1-877-203-3246 and they price matched mine. Bonus - I got the free shipping from last month and they didn't charge me for it with the price match. Call them immediately!

If you don't already have the special socket for that, get one. It's a game changer and a lot cheaper than a high torque impact.

How were you able to get it off with the mid torque? I had the ridgid mid torque with the fat socket, couldn't get it off, the high torque took it off in about 2 seconds

Well I guess I should have specifically asked the price match question. I asked about partially canceling an order and was told I couldn't so they cancelled the whole thing. Sacrificed the stapler for nothing!

Just called and got right in ... the CSR informed me that they NEVER price match and refused to do it.
