Product ReviewsRyobi ONE+ 18V 1/2inch Impact Wrench - P261

Good tool!

It’s a good tool not great for the money. I had a F250 and I tried the 2nd speed and no dice. I was a little worried it was not able to handle the job. Then I tried the 3rd speed and voilà it was able to break loose each lug nut. I would have rated it a 5 but it paused after each nut that was really tighten on. Pause is the only way to describe it. It would click once when I pressed the button but not spin, I engage the button again and it worked as suppose to. These lugs it took off were tightened on at Firestone with pneumatic impact wrench. So this tool does have good power. I checked my battery also it had 4 bars. So it may be a protective mechanism to keep it from overheating. I am a fan of ryobi bc as a homeowner it’s good tools for the price. Read full review...

Less power than expected

Less power than I expected. I wasn't sure if it had the power to bust a lug nut and it doesn't. I bought the impact wrench because it was advertised at 350 foot pounds of torque. I had some suspension work to do on my 2014 RAM 1500 and wanted to see if the P261 could save me some time. It was helpful in most cases but couldn't budge some of the bolts. I use a torque wrench on the wheel lug nuts (105#) and it couldn't move them. I have quite a few of the Ryobi 18v tools and I really like the convenience of cordless tools. Still a good tool just not as powerful as I needed.Read full review...

Little bit dissapointed

I read many reviews on this tool before buying it, they mostly sounded positive. One mentioned using this tool to remove lug nuts which were hard to break loose with the tire iron. Well, my wrench must be defective because, to remove 3 of 5 lug nuts I needed to first break them loose. They had been hand tightened using a 15 inch breaker-bar, and the threads were lubricated with anti-seize. Once loose the wrench, set on most powerful setting, finished removing the nuts quickly. On the plus side I need not worry about stripping threads, breaking studs, or warping the rotor from over tightening. It does speed things up, and feels right in my hand, so I give it a 4 stars.Read full review...

Ryobi Builds Great Quality Tools

Lots of power. Love the 3 speeds and ease of switching speeds and direction. Handy light. I bought this mostly because I have a lot of other Ryobi tools(Drill,Dust Buster Vac,hedge trimmer,weed eater,others) that use the same 18 volt batteries. ALL have performed to my expectations.

Excellent for the price

I am not a professional mechanic but I use my tools on a frequent basis. I have high expectations when I shell out $100 or so for something. This impact has great torque and the battery pack lasts. If you’re looking for weekend use or on a budget this is a great option in my opinion. I have a ryobi set as well and having interchangeable batteries is awesome.Read full review...

Powerful at fraction price of the other guys.

I am a fan of ryobi with having many different ryobi tools. Many are very good quality and very useful, and some are completely useless, but I really like this 1/2" impact. It's light weight and powerful enough to remove lug nuts. I cannot say how long it will lasts since I only had it for a short time, but happy with it so farRead full review...

Ryobi impact wrench

I haven't used it a whole lot yet but have been very pleased with the product so far. Took the lug nuts off a 49 Chevy that hadn't been touched in years without any trouble at all. The middle setting tightens down to between 60 and 70 ft. lbs. which makes for easy proper tightening with a torque wrench on alloy wheels. May not be "industrial" quality, but for the occasional shade tree'er, I think it will do quite nicely.Read full review...

Ryobi 3 speed impact wrench

I first tried it on the 1 setting and it wouldn't loosen anything. I thought low and slow would give it the strongest torch, but nope, you put it on 3 the fastest, highest setting and then it has high torch. Works great!Read full review...

Works like it’s supposed to

With a fully charged larger size battery this impact gun set on number three will break Lugnuts loose with no problem at all. It is not the tools fault if somebody has over tightened the wheel lugs with a high torque air impact gun. It’s always a good idea to reinstall wheels by tightening on numbers one or two and finishing by hand, preferably with a torque wrench. Obviously it will also work on any other job where the bolts are not tightened well beyond what a normal lugnut is.Read full review...

18v impact

I can't pry on wrenches like I used too "shoulder injury" so this tool is a must have addition to my growing One+ collection.
Shipped really fast, look brand new and operates flawlessly. Thanks.

Awesome Tool Love It!

Took the lug nuts off of my Equinox without any trouble. Also I just used it to remove the rear 36MM axle nut while replacing my rear hub assembly. I will say though it doesn't play well with extensions and or universal swivels. Seems to loose its power when using those accessories. Be sure you are using the 18V lithium 4 amp battery to get the full 300 torque pounds from the tool. The cheaper Ryobi batteries will not operate this tool to its full potential. I cant stress that enough.Read full review...
