I was able to pick this up at HD online a few months ago for $129. After my military discount only $116. I couldn’t pass it up. Great tool. One of my favorites. I have the mid and high torque wrenches also. I have to disagree with one thing. If you don’t have a lot of need for impact wrenches but you do change your own brakes, or rotate your own tires….this is all you need. It will take your lug nuts off without any problem and the design is great for getting to those caliper bolts. If you are not a professional mechanic working on a lot of different things then this is probably the only impact you will ever need. If you get into bigger vehicles and suspension work, then you may need to go bigger, but for you change-your-own-brakes guys and occasional other lighter job guys, this may be all you need.

Looks like a pretty sweet tool. Ridgid has come out with a ton of new products the last 12 months or so. After using their stuff professionally for years I've only had to use my warranty only once. It was just a charger. Thanks for the video review. Great job. I like the clear precise and fairness shown on this channel. Keep it up!

This subcompact line is awesome. Their 6 1/2 subcompact saw was the most popular saw on a framing project that we completed. Looking forward to a sale on this tool!

I’d gladly add one of these to the toolbox. Great review 👍👍

Yes!.. LET'S GO BROTHER 🏁 11:25.. exactly..hammering then stopping

What a beast.

🎉Thank you so much‼️

Wow, very impressive! 2yrs too late for me but I think I may eventually sell my M12, once this comes into a hackable promo or gets to DTO.

Nice testing demo!

Sucker is a beast!!! I'm sure with the new EXP battery's it will hit a bit harder. TX for the video

Not only is Ridgid been my favorite tools but they are the same color an my Bengals WHODEY!

Great job as usual, thanks for sharing. This has slightly better specs than TTI's Milwaukee right angle impact wrench. 👍

thank you for testing this! i ordered it and it just got delivered today. i was hoping it would be good and i dont think ill be disappointed!

Thank you so much for this video متشکرم از شما آقای محترم

I have almost every Rigid impact wrench. Just bought this today….HD has it on sale for $129 and with my military discount I got it fot $116 plus tax. Was a no brainer. The reason I wanted it was because I did a brake job a few weeks ago and could not get the caliper off that easily. Not a lot of room for a long breaker bar either. Got my mid torque out and it would not line up behind the bracket. Wished I had this that night. I’m sure I’m gonna love it. I use my mid torque often. Have the high torque and love that too…but in reality….its a status symbol that doesn’t really get used. But I do love it.

I ordered mine today and this video pops up and I couldn't be more excited. I was buying the subcompact and bought this instead, and I'm thinking I'm going to be more than happy with it.

Got mine 2 weeks ago use it with the 3 amp OCTANE BATTERY but will test it with the 8 amp EXP battery soon it has more go juice then the KOBALT just wish they had a 4 amp 21700 cell battery the 8amp is just too big

I'm a super market refrigeration tech and in the market for a right angle impact, 250ftlbs is more than enough for 99% of my work (it will mostly be used for filter dryers and oil separators and compressor changes) I just saw this in 3/8" (mostly smaller fasteners for my job) on black friday deal for $129, might have to pick it up.

I think the protective head cover is to protect some materials you are working on not the wrench.

Just love ridgid keeping the same 18v batteries and not changing to like 12v

I'd call that pretty useful. I think most of the nuts we're gonna need to break loose are going to be 21mm or under.

Okay Brother. I may left a comment or 3 already on this video, but in my defense it's been 7months or so.🤓 I'm very impressed by this tool. I'm on both Milwaukee battery platforms and a couple others, but not RIDGID...at least not yet. Given these tools and few others, that could well change this year. I'm huge fan of Milwaukee M12 2.5Ah ho batteries, however I can see a lot of areas that the new 6Ah M12 batteries fit as well. This platform from RIDGID offers a different reach, putting the bigger battery just far enough away to make it work where, because Milwaukee doesn't or at least hasn't seen fit to produce the right angle impact in an M18 FUEL version that might afford me one more teardown or one assembly at/or near the end of a shift, especially if you're talking about the 6Ah forge battery.... I guess we'll see what the future holds, but by that time I'll likely have RIDGID in the arsenal.

If Rigid has this in 18v. Come on Milwaukee get her done.

Thanks for the great video! Did you test to see how much torque it was stopping at when the auto mode stops the wrench in forward?

That 21 will knock off lug nutts like it was a trycycle--I have it.

Nice tool

So this is better than the Milwaukee right angle?

may be an odd question but was that a cordless drill torque wrench you used to tighten the bolts down to test?

You should have went right to left for your torque. It ensures the nut is tight and not loosened from the reaction arm. I have had this happen to me in the past

Why does the led flash sometimes?

Kobalt 24v right angle owner. Love the tool, but Rigid has just dethroned the champ. Glad the segement has competiton now!

If you have a small passenger car why do you need both a mid torque impact and a right angle impact to do the lug nuts if the right angle can break away the 100ft lbs needed for the lug nuts. It would seem like over kill to me when one tool can do both jobs.. Just inquiring???

wow i am impress with ridgid.

Anyone purchasing this I recommend the 1/2 inch over the 3/8.

That's awesome. But I don't want another battery platform. Does DeWalt or Milwaukee have something similar?

With the battery it's just to heavy

So am looking for a tool to remove lower brake calipers. Will this one do it? Where space is limited. If not, recommendations?

Hola Tim!! Donde puedo adquirir esa herramienta RIDGID 18V RIGHT ANGLE impact Wrench R8721 Ó R8720 PARA PEDIRLA DESDE el Edo . MEX?!.., NO LA HE ENCONTRADO AQUÍ EN MÉXICO.

Does any one know how this bad boy compare to a m12 stubby? My stubby was stolen, Im planning on buying a replacement but if this ridgid matches the breakaway torque I'll go with this

wish you wouldve ran it in scenarios where you would want to actually use a right angled impact wrench..

The flat surface below the anvil looks like a good hammering spot to me. 😂

It’s better than the Milwaukee

Ok but what’s it’s torque up tightening to??

Good tool but its not very powerful, I own one and for brake bolts it has a hard time.

If only ridgid had smaller batteries

anyone use this tool with a 4amp battery? i tried to remove 21mm lug nuts off my car and it wouldn't remove them.

Jumping up from 50lb increments, when it starts to get tough, to 100lbs is just ridiculous. DROP to 25lbs or at least.. maintain 50lbs throughout. I'm LOST on how you jump to 300 when it's rated at 250.

Инструмент бомба. Друже пзц ты громкий!!!

Test the Milwaukee right angle

After watching the video I went next day bought 3/8 RIDGID. Tried lug nuts I can’t even break them loose . Returning tomorrow. Not sure how this video shows so much torque but when I tried to loose lug nuts I’m disappointed. Yes battery was fully charged. May be I got a bad one I guess

Better than kobalt ?

So whats the point of the ratchet tool wrench if this is aavailable

That looks a lot like the Kobalt one.

why shout though? Im sure you have a nice voice. Use that instead.

Might be ok for brakes and struts but worthless for most anything else.
