Ryobi Upgrades a Classic

Not many of us spare too many thoughts for the lowly tire inflator until we actually need one, and then they become exceedingly helpful in a pinch. Between filling bike tires, the occasional air mattress, the odd basketball, ZT mower tires, and my driver-side rear car tire with an almost-imperceptible-but-definitely-there-if-you’re-paying-attention slow leak, we actually find a fair amount of use from our old Ryobi Inflator. That’s why when Ryobi sent us the new P747 Ryobi Dual Function Inflator/Deflator recently, we got excited about the potential upgrade.

Discussion

The new Ryobi band saw seems straightforward – it’s a compact cordless band saw with 2.5″ cutting capacity and what looks to be a standard blade size.

What’s not to like?

Raise your hand if this be on your wishlist.

Before anyone says it, I know what the number one question will be – “when will Ridgid come out with a cordless band saw?” The announcement of this new Ryobi saw should give you some hope that the answer is “soon” rather than “eventually,” although that’s not a guarantee.

Are you a weekend warrior who likes to work on their car but it’s not at their forefront of the to-do list? If so, this Ryobi impact wrench might be a great solution for you. I have a family and so many things going on every week. While I love working on things around the house such as my truck, I would rather do other things, like spend time with my family. However there are those tasks I want to tackle. I just don’t want to spend a fortune on an impact wrench when a majority of its life it will be sitting on the shelf. So let’s jump into the Ryobi Impact Wrench Review.

Ryobi Impact Wrench – Information

• Name – Ryobi 3/8 in. 3-Speed Impact Wrench
• Model – P263
• Price – $79.00
• Where to Buy – The Home Depot
• Ryobi Reviews – Ryobi Power Tool Reviews

Ryobi Impact Wrench – Features

The Ryobi puts out 150 ft.lbs of torque which is powerful for an impact wrench under $100.

The wrench produces 3,400 impacts per minute with 3-speed settings which means this can be used on a variety of applications.

The unit is powered by the Ryobi 18V battery which also is used for a wide variety of other Ryobi products.

The impact wrench uses a 3/8″ anvil that is a hog ring.

One awesome feature is the three bright LED lights that help eliminate shadows and shine up your work.

The handle has a typical Ryobi tool grip that has a very nice rubber over-mold.

On the back of the unit, you have three-speed settings that will adjust the ipm speed.

• Speed 1 – 0-1,700/min
• Speed 2 – 0-2,500/min
• Speed 3 – 0-3,200/min

On the base of the unit, there is a magnet to hold smaller nuts or bolts.

Ryobi Impact Wrench – Impressions

For an impact that is priced under $100, I think it’s powerful and built well. While you won’t be removing semi-truck lug nuts, it’s a perfect option for the homeowner who needs a wrench but doesn’t need the power of removing semi-truck tires.

Overall it’s powerful and I like the speed selection on the back of the tool, which makes it easy to change on the fly with your thumb.

Ryobi Impact Wrench – Final Thoughts

While the impact wrench is on the heavy side, I am okay with that since I am not using it all the time. For me, the price and quality are what I want in my wrench. The Ryobi is an easy decision for me as I need power, but not the price tag of a professional wrench. I love how many tools are in the Ryobi line up so even if the wrench sits around a lot for me, I can use the battery in so many other Ryobi tools and products.
