Ryobi offers a range of power tools that are perfect for working on your car. One essential tool to have in your automotive power tool collection is an impact wrench. While similar to ratchets, impact wrenches have the advantage of delivering higher torque, making them ideal for removing stubborn nuts and fasteners, including rusted or broken ones.

A highly recommended cordless option is the Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 4-Mode 1/2″ High Torque Impact Wrench. This powerful tool can deliver up to 1,170 ft-lbs of breakaway torque and 700 ft-lbs of fastening torque. It features a four-mode speed control, onboard LED lights, a durable gear case, and a 1/2″ anvil with a friction ring for quick socket changes.

However, it’s important to note that unlike a ratchet, the impact wrench doesn’t have a slim design or as much versatility in tight spaces and tough angles. Nevertheless, if you encounter rusted fasteners that seem impossible to remove, the Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 4-Mode 1/2″ High Torque Impact Wrench is the tool you need.

You can purchase the tool by itself from Home Depot for $219, but there is currently a sale on the kit, including the battery and charger, for only $159. Don’t miss out on this excellent deal.
