Overview
The Ryobi P235A is a battery powered impact driver running on Ryobi's 18 volt platform, with a listed no-load speed of 2800 RPM. It is part of the P-series lineup, typically sold as a bare tool that shares batteries with other Ryobi 18V tools.
Ryobi's P-series tools are built around a single 18V battery platform, so the P235A's main appeal is compatibility with an existing Ryobi battery collection rather than standalone specs. At 2800 RPM it is positioned for driving screws and fasteners rather than heavy bolt removal.
- 18 volt battery power
- 2800 RPM no-load speed
- Ryobi P-series platform
- Impact driver form factor
Who it's for
Homeowners and DIYers already on the Ryobi 18V system who want an impact driver for deck screws, furniture assembly or general fastening. Less suited to tradespeople needing higher torque for structural bolts, where a dedicated impact wrench fits better.
Pros and cons
- Shares batteries with the Ryobi 18V line
- 2800 RPM suits fast screw driving
- Compact impact driver form factor
- Sold as bare tool typically, battery not included
- Not built for heavy bolt-breaking torque
Performance notes
At 2800 RPM the P235A is geared for driving screws quickly rather than breaking loose seized bolts, where lower speed and higher torque tools do better. Being a bare P-series tool, its runtime and power depend on which battery is paired with it.
