This Ridgid 18V subcompact brushless 1/2-inch impact wrench kit stands out as a compact, lightweight option for wheel swaps and other car work. It has enough power for passenger-car lug nuts, non-frozen fasteners, and even some corroded bolts, while the smaller size makes it easier to reach for than heavier impacts. The kit price is also described as one of the better recent brushless subcompact deals. The main caution is warranty confusion, since the listing shows a 3-year warranty and the Lifetime Service Agreement still depends on registration within 90 days.
Common Questions (5)
The kit is covered by Ridgid's standard 3-year limited warranty. It can also qualify for the Lifetime Service Agreement if you register it within 90 days of purchase, including DTO or Home Depot purchases.
It is rated at 250 lb-ft and may feel weaker than mid- or high-torque impacts on tougher jobs. For lighter automotive work, though, it still removes lug nuts and is favored for its compact, lightweight form.
Yes. It can remove passenger-car lug nuts and is described as perfect for swapping wheels, even on vehicles around 129 lb-ft. It may hammer longer than mid- or high-torque impacts, but the smaller, lighter size makes it easier to use often.
$99 shipped is described as the lowest price seen in the last 12 months for a brushless subcompact kit, though DTO pricing and shipping have varied between free, $5, and $15. Earlier tools-only pricing was reported at $71, so this is a solid but not absolute floor.
It has enough power for non-frozen, non-rusted fasteners on cars and a commercial mower, and it has also worked on heavily corroded exhaust bolts. For heavily seized hardware, it may need longer hammering than larger impacts.

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.
