Project Farm did an episode on subcompact impact wrenches. Check it out: https://youtu.be/AlVbWvvYzE0

The video is for the 3/8ths version, but the comparison charts at the end show weight and size. The ridgid is 3.58 lbs, pretty similar to most of the lower weight ones but it was tested with a 4ah battery, not the 2ah one this one comes with. The only one significantly lighter is the M12 at 3.09 lbs, which is what I would get if I didn't already have the Ridgid high torque and batteries.
Thanks! I was worried I was going to have to focus on work for a minute!

I think this is the vender I ordered some other blems and it was new. Not a scratch on it. To me the factory didn't want to let their extra or closeout product to be sold "new" at a low price so called them "blem" instead. I don't like "open box" but their stuff seems perfect in my limited experience with 3 items.

They call them 'Factory Blems' so as not to undercut the pricing of the same 'New' tools at Home Depot.
Keep in mind that currently there're 2 versions of the mid torque. One is brushed (kit, R86215K, $90) while the other is brushless (kit, R86012K, $168). That's quite a bit of a price difference.
One poster on a different thread said that the R86215 was an entry level. I did not get to validate that.
I myself was going to get the brushed mid-torque for its value. I will primarily use it to rotate tires and other car projects. Nothing major. I ended up going with the brushless subcompact, which is plenty for my use case.
