Yes
thanks
Whats the overall difference between this and the brush less version?
less brushes
fewer
None, in fact.
you cant paint with the brushless version
Brushless won't wear as fast.
Brushed has significantly more torque.Our brushed one disassembled over 100 cars (every bolt; my mate owns a specialist wrecker) and white starting to show signs of brush wear, could still crash drive shaft hub bolts.
with a wrench not a driver right?
Brushless motors are more efficient, hence better capacity for more power, they dont use brushes hence no sparks.
Brushed and brushless power rating depends on what motors the manufacturer has placed into them, but generally brushless are the more efficent and more powerful motors
Generally, yes, but not in the Ryobi Impact Wrench. Smaller motor I guess.
@MasterScythe: Yes, like i said, its up to manufacturer to determine motor size, anyways ryobi is for the weekend diyer, not trade or commerical use. Look at this impact wrench by Milwaukee, obviously big difference but with a torque reading of 1300~nm of force.

@Bargain4Days: Check out this torque wrench by RAD torque, obviously big difference but with a torque reading of ~15,000 Nm of torque (not force)
Not cheap at around $8k each including battery last time I bought.

@Gonltruck: looks like the ones they use to attach lug nuts on a porta crane, can feel it and hear it!
Way more nm Force than the brushless model. This is 360nm vs 270nm(brushless)
its not the brushed/brushless-ness that causes that, its the design. My AEG brushless wrench is rated 470Nm, brushed wrenches cannot approach that.
I agree but in this case the bigger brushed model is more powerful. AEG is simply the big brother to Ryobi on thst note
@Bargain4Days: Definitely and that's obvious. I personally think Ryobi is very underrated, not saying it competes with its siblings but it's probably the best DIYer power tools out there
@DannyBoy: Ryobi is ok for diy, anything remotely trade or heavy use and get a aeg or if work is involved get a Milwaukee set, best tools imo
OP - link is for an impact DRIVER not a wrench, maybe check if the link or the title need an update
edit: found it, same price https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-3-speed-impact-wre…
The image link is to the wrench. I also included a link in the description for the driver, as mentioned in the description.
gotcha
Can't see the brushless listed anymore on the Bunnings site. Have been looking at the brushed version since it has more torque.
Doesn't seem to work for me, takes me to the "Our Range" page. Searching the model number on their site yields nothing too. Strange
Try changing your save store location.
If something isn't in stock at a store you've saved, a link can redirect to the "Our Range" page.- I got the "Our Range" page when I clicked on the link, I changed the store location and the link worked, I then changed the store location back to the original store location where it didn't work and the link worked.
@caileach: Tried a few stores and no luck, pricehipster and google don't even show it anymore as well.
Anyway, ordered the brushed version as it has more torque. Was curious if the brushless model was being discontinued and replaced with a more powerful brushless version.
@mrderrickc: I tried to by a brushless version a few days ago. Dude in store couldn't find any in stock within over 100km (that covers a fair few stores where I am)
Bunnings website is one of the worse eCommerce website I've ever forced to use. It's quite pathetic, specially how much money is going through it, due to one of the only business open during COVID-19 restrictions.
Unless you are buying ryobi, generally tools are better range and price at other stores. Free delivery also, while bunnings requires click and collect. They also don't hold much stock of a lot of items so it needs to be ordered in.
All these Ryobi sales… just gotta look out for the battery sale 😅
Legend! Thanks mate! I had a notification setup here for this exact item and you found the discount I was after! I almost paid full price on the weekend too! Thanks heaps!
Welcome, happy wrenching!
I wonder if this is a price drop? Ryobi has the same price listed on their website: https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/18v-one-3-speed-im…
Bunnings is the sole distributor for Ryobi in Australia, so it could just be a sale from Ryobi which Bunnings is passing down. I was tossing up between this and the Ozito. Ryobi is more powerful but heavier and more expensive. Will probably get this now that the price difference isn't too bad.
They also have updated prices for the other items that have dropped (Sander, Jigsaw etc).
This model of Ryobi impact wrench is the best wrench for anyone who works on cars. It will consistently do up your wheel lug nuts to the optimal torque everytime.
Can you set the torque or does it just happen to be right for wheel nuts?
Pop it on level 3 (maximum torque) and will do up your wheel nuts to 120nm, perfect every time :) I always check with a torque wrench after, always perfect (do a lot of Motorsport)
I wouldn't say it will do the wheel lug nuts to the "optimal" torque, but it will definitely be tight enough to keep them on.
These will easily 'over-tighten' a lug nut past it's reccomended torque spec, which will damage them (especially if they're aluminium, the threads will get stripped).
I'd reccomend using a torque wrench to tighten it, set to around 100nm for your average sedan or 120 for 4WDs (dependant on rim and lugnut type)Even though this is rated to 300 odd, on Mac setting the lug nuts are always done up to the optimal 120. It’s perfect
Now for the rachet to go on sale too
I wasn't impressed with the ratchet. Took it back, refunded. We tried it in store, with tool shop guy, wouldn't undo a bolt on the racking. Big and not powerful or adequate.
I was disappointed, had high hopes for the ratchet and it didn't deliver. Happily would have paid full price if it was any goodSighhh thanks. Guess milwaukee is it
Milwaukee M12 ratchet is very nice.
Specs on the older ratchet only quote 27Nm so no surprise there. I still find it useful for things that I don't want over-tightened.
There's a new Ryobi ratchet (R18RW3-0) listed at 60Nm. Which is still less than the Milwaukee ratchets, but still usefully cheaper than the Milwaukee too.No 60Nm ratchet listed at Bunnings
@Spending2Much: I looked fot it too, they don't have it yet I guess. But it does look like a proper one. https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/18v-one-3-8-ratche…
@Spending2Much: it says new on the Ryobi website and Bunnings is the only retailer so it should turn up soonish I guess
whats the difference between impact driver and wrench? why would u need one and the other?
Driver would be for driving in screws, wrench has more torque and suited for bolts and nuts.
but u could use a driver for bolts??
Depends on the application, for light duty yes, but for things like wheel nuts no. Wouldn't have enough torque.
Driver would be 1/4" hex collet and the Impact would be 1/2" square drive.
@mrderrickc: Typical car wheel nuts should be approx 120-150Nm and this Ryobi impact driver is rated to 220Nm, so it should be theoretically possible. The driver wouldn't be the tool to use on a regular basis but probably would work for the occasional tyre change as long as it's not a 4x4 or truck. Also would recommend you use an impact-rated adapter and socket.
@Poombear: I've tried with my Ryobi impact driver before, doesn't budge the wheel nuts. And that was rated at 220Nm
@mrderrickc: No surprise since the impact force is diff. On a driver its more axial downward force and on the wrench its all rotational
Brushless impact driver has 270nm of force, so would handle car/truck wheel nuts no problem
You just need a 1/2” square adapter in between the driver & the (19mm?) hex socket
So would the impact driver be unsuitable as an all-round multi purpose drill driver? .i.e. drilling holes in wood but also assembling furniture etc. Also aerating the lawn with an auger bit?
Good for all of that
Yeh. Similar question. What’s more versatile for someone who wants to do odd jobs here and there? I do my own car maintenance so was thinking impact wrench.
Basicly if it has a hex using it will only hex attachments no adapter and if its a 1/2" socket you would use a wrench
Personally you need both drill and driver. You will not be able to have the freedom of drilling into steel without a drill with a clutch and chuck
Having both a drill and driver means you don't need to constantly switch out bits.
That's a drill, those products in the post and impact based and do not have a clutch like a standard drill.
In a nut shell completely different tools for different jobs
Thanks OP. I bought 1 :)
Just need this to go on sale and I'm set 🤣 https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-led-spotlight-skin…
I have this. It is incredibly bright
Nice, does the unit get hot after extended use.
Nope it’s fine.
This is poor from Ryobi. The brushless version should be more powerful than the brushed
It is for every other tool they makeDoes this do everything that a impact drill does as well? or is a impact wrench only for jobs that can't be done with impact drill?
Do you mean a hammer drill?
Or an impact driver?impact driver.
Unless you work a lot on cars (wheels), you would be wiser to get yourself an impact driver instead of an impact wrench. You can get an adaptor for the impact driver to be able to act like an impact wrench for car wheel nuts
That’s what I have done (but I got the brushless impact driver for $199 as it has more torque than brushed)
https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-one-18v-brushless-impact-d…Word of warning, you can break your wrist if not careful on the most powerful torque setting
I've had the wrench for a few years now, and I love it. I work on cars a lot, and it hasn't failed me yet. Mine also came with a hex adaptor, so you can use it as an impact driver. I've used it as a driver a couple of times, and it seems to work fine. I usually run it on the lowest speed when using the adapter, though.
I was about to pull trigger for the kit version $299.00 as it will be my first ryobi power tool. Anyone can make a comment that the price of the kit will remain same or go down too? If so I can wait bit more lol.

If anyone can answer this ^ can you give me the powerball numbers too?
You don't have to be a fortune teller to know this. If I follow the market over a year, most likely I can. So come back next year for the power ball numbers:)
Really so you have that skill to win the power ball and you looking for a deal on ryobi? Hmmmm
If you want price trends look it up on price hipster or camel
I followed the power ball for a year and still can't predict the numbers.
It looks like it's a new product on the Ryobi website, so I think it's less likely to have a price drop soon. If anything new products sometimes increase $10 or $20 in price after a launch.
Impact driver back to $149
Now $114
Does 'skin only' mean without battery ?
