A bad time to buy this, they just released both this regular subcompact impact driver AND the subcompact Stealth Force Pulse impact driver in the NUKE lineup, the Stealth Pulse is a much much much better tool, it is the quietest impact you can buy, has much better LED placements, and has 3 speed+self-tapping modes which this one does not.
People have been waiting a literal decade for a replacement to the original stealth force, and since this was announced over a year ago everyone's been biding their time to finally have the "perfect" impact.
I'm not kidding when I say that if you are in the Ridgid system, the Stealth Force impact driver is the ONLY impact you will want to use.

Something to remember is that with Ridgid you are getting LSA, the only true lifetime repair/replacement service. You are buying a tool for YOUR lifetime, so choose the one that you will want to use for a lifetime instead of the one that saves you ~$60.

Currently "free" with tool purchase (Cheapest option is $149 with two 4ah batteries)

Why return a battery? It's like trying to hack a battery and flashlight combo deal. You're going to need the battery, charger and tool bag in this case (no pun intended).
You must have 20 ridgid tools and 50 batteries to refuse the battery with charger?
I use Skil 12v impact driver and I'm so annoyed the thing impacts immediately when I start driving screws doing carpentry work no matter which speed setting I use.

Who will return thcharger, bag and 2Ah battery to SAVE $10?
Let me wait for you at home Depot and give you the $10 plus taxes you need so badly. I can use the slimmer battery with my RIDGID right angle impact wrench to work on my car.

You are absolutely out of your element here. He was asking about the link I posted to a better tool. Hence him quote replying to me

That one is only rated at 450 in lb compared to the 2000in lb of this one for anyone wondering

While that is true on its spec sheet, it is matched to the Milwaukee pulse driver and AEG in performance with 1000in-lbs, as evidenced by its AEG counterpart also being rated for 1000. They simply write a lower number to differentiate their price-classes of tools but the internals are the exact same.

At 1000, or even 450 really, it will drive anything that is sane to do with a compact impact driver, 2000 doesn't unlock a new class of abilities.
Giant lag bolts should still be driven with an impact wrench not a driver. Even if some drivers can barely do them at 2000, try to drive 3 of them and one will NOT be doable because it's not the right tool, and will still require a wrench. Let alone driving a dozen or a hundred

Reread the thread he's asking about hacking which means returning the driver, I'm simply staying at that low price $10 for battery charger and tool bag is a steal. On Facebook market place that's $50

Max torque is always higher on standard hammer-on-anvil impact drivers than on pulse drivers. That's fine if you need peak torque above all else, but the stealth pulse driver's sustained torque will drive most fasteners faster, more quietly, and with better control.

The stealth force is very quiet and fast but it has very low torque compared to this one. And the stealth force is heavier and gets hot faster so it's not the right tool for everyone.
