I have this and it works fine on car lug nuts. Obviously you'll get the spark and smell for brushed. This price to me is normal for an old model. If anything it should be this price for brand new.

375 ft lb of torque doesn't sound like that much. My Ryobi 1/4" brushless hex impact driver has more (2200 ft lb) Would I be better off just getting an impact rated socket adapter for what I already have or is there something special about impact wrenches that makes them better for turning nuts in bolts?
Your 1/4" hex driver absolutely does not produce 2200 ft/lbs of torque. In/lbs, maybe.

True. I wonder how a person is supposed to be able to keep the 2200 ft lbs from not breaking their arms off while trying to hold it. I wonder how many ft lbs a person could actually keep from moving. That is a pretty short lever arm for that much torque. I would be surprised if many could actually contain 300 ft lbs on that short lever arm.

Your impact driver has 2200 inch pounds, and I'm pretty sure that's also measured using a bit, and those 1/2" shank adaptors aren't the best. I've snapped a few trying to remove lug nuts, but it does work in a pinch. 1/2 drive is far superior

Been looking to grab one for my uncle who keeps borrowing my impact for his car maintenance and not bringing it back. How does this compare to the Bauer? Don't know much about tools but they're similarly priced and the key points for each are the Bauer is brushless but 3-speed while the Ryobi is Variable speed with 75lb more torque
I had the same model before. It was adequate for handling the lug nuts of my Honda Pilot (~95 ft-lb), but it was quite challenging to manage the ones on my Volvo XC60 (~105 ft-lb). I sold it at a yard sale.
I have this for a roadside bag for my car and it works great. You can also get an 1/2" adapter for your scissor jack in your car for this to work on. It makes a tire changes crazy fast like it took less than 4 minutes to change.
The price is good. I have used this impact wrench for years to change tires and work on rusted parts but I wish I had the P262. This one worked 90% of the time. I had to take out the 2 foot breaker bar for some projects.
