Is there any difference between the Ridgid 18v impact wrench and the newer Ryobi one? They look almost exactly the same except for the color and the Ridgid one is $20 more.
That newest Ridgid x5 impact driver has 2,500 in-lbs of torque and the newest Ryobi impact driver has 1,600 in-lbs of torque.
Well with Ridgid ou get the lifetime LSA and 25 more foot pounds of torque. The Ryobi has less torque but has 3 speeds to chose from. They are pretty much the same for the most part except for some features. I would buy the wrench that fits your battery platform.

You may want to read more carefully. I was asking about the impact wrench not impact driver.

One of my friends is looking for an impact wrench and he is not currently a member of any tool family. Thus far I feel like the Ryobi one is a better deal.
The Ryobi probably makes the most sense
