Most people don't realize Ridgid's high-impact wrench is just as good as Milwaukee's. I have both, and Ridgid is more powerful but lacks the build quality of the Milwaukee.

Ridgid HAD Octane high torque R86211 which was even more powerful (1500 ft lb) but they discontinued it and rumor was that it was eating into sale of their Milwaukee high torque model.
In comparison, R86212 is listed as not as powerful and is built more closely to the Ryobi high torque though future Milwaukee may move towards this design.

Is that the "Design" that everyone else is doing 🤔 "Charge more Offer less"

Ordered this yesterday for $199 when it only had 1 battery, today's daily deal is even better, same price with 2 batteries. I also got the mid-torque when it was on sale yesterday for $149 with 2 batteries. Typical slickdeal buy now, think later.

Now I'm in thinking mode and would like some feedback:

What's the use case for this high torque (1,300 ft./lbs. of breakaway torque 900 ft./lbs. of fastening torque)

vs

the mid-torque model (650 ft./lbs. of Breakaway Torque 500 ft./lbs. of Fastening Torque)

Is the high torque too much, or the mid-torque not enough, in other words if i should get only 1, which one? or is there a case to be made (to the wife) that I might need both? And how important is the rubber boot thing if I'm only going to be using it occasionally?

Looking to teach my sons about changing tires mainly. I've never had a impact wrench before, always done it manually.

If you're working on a regular consumer-oriented vehicle, it'd be rare to find something the mid-torque can't handle and it is much lighter and smaller than the high-torque so it's easier to use and fits in more places. For farm use or heavy equipment, you might want the high-torque. Or if your stuff is heavily corroded or for Honda crank bolts (but a mid-torque with weighted socket usually works for those).
