Community Reviews
This Ridgid 18V subcompact brushless 1 2 inch impact wrench kit stands out as a compact, lightweight option for wheel swaps and everyday automotive work. It has enough power for passenger car lug nuts, non frozen fasteners, brakes, sway bar links, and even some corroded bolts, while feeling easier to use than heavier impacts. The included 2 amp hour battery makes the kit especially handy. The main caveat is warranty coverage, since the listing shows a 3 year warranty and LSA depends on registration within 90 days.
Common Questions (4)
The kit is covered by Ridgid's standard 3-year warranty, and it can qualify for the Lifetime Service Agreement if registered within 90 days of purchase. DTO and Home Depot purchases are both eligible for LSA registration.
At $99 shipped, it is described as the lowest price seen in the last 12 months for a brushless subcompact unit. The deal is also framed as decent for light work, though some note Home Depot sales can run lower and the kit's warranty details matter.
Yes. It can remove passenger-car lug nuts and is described as perfect for swapping wheels, including around 129-130 lb-ft. It may hammer longer than mid- or high-torque impacts on stubborn fasteners, but it still gets them off.
It has plenty of power for non-frozen, non-rusted car fasteners and commercial mower work, but heavily corroded or over-torqued bolts can be a tougher ask. One report says it even handled heavily corroded exhaust bolts, so it can punch above expectations on some seized hardware.

It's SO MUCH lighter than my old 1/2" impact.

The tools only was $71 a few months back on DTO.
This with the 2ah max output battery is a really nice compact and light weight option.
I am hoping to wait for a brushless mid torque model to hit the $100 mark.
Should I get this subcompact instead?
Maybe I should consider getting this subcompact and call it a day.

I'm changing my mind and getting this, instead of the mid torque. Even with $15 shipping, $99 seems to be the lowest in the last 12 months on a BRUSHLESS, SUBCOMPACT unit. I may be able to sell the 2Ah and the charger if I'm lucky.
Returning my $69 BRUSHED mid torque to HD.
Does this subcompact have enough oomph to remove lug nuts from passenger cars? That's what I'm getting an impact wrench for so I can rotate my own tires with ease. I'm tired of jumping onto the tire wrench.
