Ryobi PCL265 ONE+ 18V 1/2 in Impact Wrench

Overview

An 18 volt, 4.2 pound impact tool with a 4.6 rating across a large review base is a solid pick for cordless work, though no purchases were logged in the most recent tracked month.

The 18 volt rating places this on Ryobi's common cordless battery platform shared across much of their tool lineup, so an existing Ryobi battery may work with it, though that is not stated directly in this listing. At 4.2 pounds it sits in a fairly typical weight range for a compact impact driver or wrench.

• 18 volt power rating
• 4.2 pound item weight
• Model number PCL265

Who it's for

Suited to buyers already invested in an 18 volt Ryobi cordless tool set who want to add an impact tool. Less relevant to buyers with no existing battery platform, since inclusion of a battery and charger is not confirmed here.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 18 volts and 4.2 pounds, this fits Ryobi's typical cordless impact tool profile, sized for one-handed use in fastening or removal work. Impact tools use rotational hammering to deliver higher torque than a standard drill of similar weight, which is generally the appeal of this tool class.
