Ryobi brushless 4 mode impact driver

Tool Talk
#1

Ryobi are releasing a new brushless impact driver in Australia & NZ. It’s has 3 speed settings and a ‘deck mode’ that reduces speed to prevent over-driving.

The specs show torque at 50/100/270 nm. Guessing 270nm (~2390 in-lbs)s a typo. That’s impact wrench territory. maybe 170nm?

Ridgid GenX5 is “rated” at 2250 in-lbs, does it live up to the hype? No, but since Ryobi is a sister brand it might not be a typo, just fluff.
