Not bad. This is the older P261 model. It's brushed, which you should expect at this price point. It advertises 300 ft/lbs of max torque, but produces 205 ft./lbs in real world testing. Have owned this for a few years. Always gets the job done for me around the house - removing lug nuts, changing mower blades, rusted-on bolts... The average home DIY'er, which is who this product is designed for, shouldn't need more. The only time its come up short on me was trying to remove a rusted on hitch bolt. I had to use a breaker bar and bang on it with a small sledgehammer to get it to move.

FYI, the newest brushed model from Ryobi (PCL265K1) advertises max torque of 375 ft./lbs; real world torque is closer to 350 ft./lbs (Source: Torque Test Channel [youtube.com]), which is pretty darn good for home use. Recently on sale for $99 as a kit (w/ battery).

Quote from Value_Detector :
dto shoppers should be aware that blemished can also mean dead on arrival. i got a dto soldering station in december that did absolutely nothing on arrival. ryobi will be sending a replacement, but blemished does not mean tested to see if it works. it means a store return. so just be aware of that and test all your stuff as soon as you get it.
Seems like a lot of contradictory information depending on who is saying it.

There's tons of posts under any DTO deal here where people show up saying the opposite, that 'Factory Blemished' IS new.

Wonder what the truth actually is!

Folks at multiple stores have told me factory blemished is new, just can't say new because of ryobi's deal with HD. I've bought quite a few online and in store and all have been brand new. Some even had the HD paperwork in it. Factory refurbished is the returns and refurbished stuff.

I been having some shipping problems with Direct Tools Factory Outlet. Placed an order two weeks ago and still did not ship. I did get an email about two days ago saying there are delays in shipping. I'm not in a rush so im just hoping it comes. If you place an order just beware it might be a few weeks.

We need a poll, but I am sure what I got is not new.

Got this from dto about 9 months ago used it 3 times and it broke. I called ryobi and they told me to take it to homedepot for a repair/replacement. Home depot wanted to charge me 35 to look at it plus parts. Went home and took it apart to find out one of the brushes twisted and burned up. Also found out they are also not replaceable like most tools and you have to order a whole new motor. I found one for 30 online and replaced it myself and have not used it yet. Worked great while it worked but the "warranty" is shit. Get a brushless if you can afford it.
Not sure of your specific problem...but one can get different size brushes and file them down to proper size. Any brush can come out with the right persuasion. Used to do this often on tools and motorcycle starters way back when. Good job fixing it yourself! Too many people don't do this. I end up getting peoples' broken tools for free and fix them usually for less than $5.00USD and now have too many tools!

Love all the weekend warriors wringing their hands about something not being brushless.

It twisted sideways and tore up the brush holder and all the plastic around it.

Yeah I wasn't disagreeing with you, just sharing my own experience lol.

As far as the email went, it was my only option as I can't call during their hours.
Just wanted to follow up:
Order finally shipped and got an email from TTI with a $24 price match refund. Checked credit card statement and it's there. Calling was definitely worth ​it for me, YMMV.
