Which has more torque, the Ryobi or the BAUER?

The Ryobi One+ is rated at 375 ft-lb and the BAUER at 300 ft-lb. The Ryobi wins on raw breakaway power for lug nuts and rusty bolts.

Is the BAUER brushless wrench worth it over the Ryobi?

Yes if weight and control matter more than torque. The BAUER is 1.1 lb lighter and has three speeds, but gives up 75 ft-lb.

Which is better for changing car tires?

The Ryobi, because 375 ft-lb covers most passenger-car lug nuts with margin. The BAUER's 300 ft-lb is close but tighter on trucks and seized nuts.

Which one is cheaper right now?

The Ryobi has sold for $67.19 (November 4) versus $75.00 for the BAUER (November 2). Both have hit $99.00 at their recent highs.

Do the batteries interchange?

No. Ryobi uses One+ 18V packs and BAUER uses its own 20V packs. You are buying into one platform, so check what you already own.

The BAUER's brushless motor should outlast a brushed motor under heavy use. The Ryobi's advantage is battery availability, since One+ packs are easy to replace.

Ryobi One+ 18V Impact Wrench vs BAUER 20V Brushless Impact Wrench

Buy the Ryobi One+ if you want more torque and a battery platform that covers dozens of yard and power tools. Buy the BAUER 20V if you want a lighter, brushless wrench with three speed settings. The Ryobi has sold for as low as $67.19 (November 4) against a $99.00 high on November 1; the BAUER has run $75.00 (November 2) to $99.00 (November 4).
