Background

Ridgid’s Impact Wrench is a power tool that is used in different industries such as house and structure repair workers, automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance and product assembly. An impact wrench is used to make tightening and loosening nuts and bolts much quicker and easier. This Impact Wrench was released in 2019 and was an upgrade from their older model which didn't support their new brushless design.

Some unique features that their impact wrench has taken from their website:

  • 4-mode settings provide adjustable power and speed. Maximum torque output of 485 ft./lbs. of torque in forward and 620 ft./lbs. of torque in reverse for heavy-duty applications.
  • Tri-beam LED around the front housing helps to eliminate shadows. Auto mode setting automatically shuts the tool down when it begins to impact to prevent overtightening.
  • Die-cast gear box for increased durability and professional quality. 1/2 in. friction ring anvil is compatible with popular impact-rated sockets.
