I think DeWalt or even Milwaukee in terms of performance.

This only has 130 ft/lb torque. It's really nothing useful.

It works for any projects around the house. What do you need a compact impact driver for? Removing a semi truck wheel?

How many ft/lb of torque do you expect out of an 18 volt impact? This is solidly middle to upper middle of the limits for an 18 volt platform from any brand, much less a quality brand at a ridiculously low price point.

Milwaukee or Dewalt like others said. Metabo HPT is/was the Hitachi (Hitachi power Tools HPT) line. Got sold maybe a decade ago, and I haven't heard any complaints despite that. The main downside to this vs the other major brands is that they don't have quite as wide a array of specialty tools or gardening tools and the like that you see in the other big brands. But if your mainly after a platform for drill/driver/saw type stuff it's great.

I have these (metabo and metabo HPT, the original hitachis bought the farm). I used it last week working on a porch for a customer. It removed all the gutters/downspout brackets and then counter sunk a bunch of exterior screws so I could sand it down. Mine drives 3 inch exterior #9 and #10 screws into wood often with no issues. I drive lag bolts too on occasion. you will need both batteries, those 2.0 batteries don't last that long driving screws.

Voltage has nothing to do with how the driver works. For example, this Milwaukee 12V can deliver 500 ft/lb of torque. For something that's 18V (I have lots of Ryobi One+ tools also) that would be capable of delivering more than what's listed.

I would bet that if someone test this, it would not give you the listed 130ft/lb of torque either.

Also these generic 2ah batteries, it's all fake. they would not have the cells for 2AH at 18v.

At this price point, spend a little more to get a Ryobi One+ set for $99 you'd be more than happier when that driver fails in 6 months.

Want a quality impact for a tire shop? Buy an Ingersoll Rand air impact. Zero power drop all day and last forever if you add built-in lubrication to the air line. Excellent weight to power ratio.

A 300 ft-lbs impact is a must if you work on auto lug nuts or on cars. Nominal torque on auto lug nut is around 85 ft-lbs. Double this value to account for rust belt corrosion. Triple value to account for Wally World's auto mechanics.

I like the 1/2" HF electric impact. Virtually no power drop with 25 ft 16 gauge extension cord. Always ready to put out 600 ft-lbs continuous (after 12 seconds of impact) with 120 VAC. I recently paid $35 on a returned item. Should last a long time if you use it a few times a week.

True. Avoid the marketing number. Power = voltage x current. Need heavy hammer and rpm for more ft-lbs. Downside is very short running time unless you have a big heavy power pack.

The Torque listed by Ryobi is much less than what it puts out in Reality. Those are torque numbers are just for marketing purposes.

This Metabo Compact Impact driver has more torque and drives screws faster the Ryobi Full-size impact driver. Even though it's an inch shorter and 1 pound lighter.

So you are going to compare a Impact Driver to an impact wrench that costs over seven times what this does. Yes you are a very serious person. Also calling Metabo HPT generic is a weird thing to say. Please do go show that one of the largest battery tool makers in the world, a brand that has existed for decades doesn't meet the specs on their ah so we can all class action sue them for false advertising. Also here is something more comparable to the impact wrench you linked. 812lbs on tightening 1300+ on loosening.

Yeah, but the dude we are responding to thinks this is some no name generic brand, and if that were true then yeah you probably shouldn't buy this set, not because 130 ft lbs is low for a driver, but because it would be junk. But it's not, he just doesn't know the brand seemingly. That being said, I don't dislike Ryobi, their tools are fine.

Man watching that video, apparently the Hercules brand performs at least this tool does. Nice.
