The Ridgid 18V NUKE SubCompact is a brushless 3/8 in. impact wrench kit built for tight spaces, weighing about 2 lb with a 250 ft-lb torque rating. It ships with a 2Ah MAX Output battery and charger and runs on Ridgid's 18V battery platform.

Pros
  • 250 ft-lb is strong for a subcompact 3/8 in. wrench
  • About 2 lb keeps overhead and tight-space work easy
  • Brushless motor for longer runtime and motor life
  • Kit includes battery and charger, so it runs out of the box
  • Shares Ridgid's 18V battery platform with other tools
Cons
  • 2Ah battery limits runtime on heavy fastening
  • 250 ft-lb falls short of full-size 1/2 in. impacts for big bolts
  • 3/8 in. anvil needs adapters for 1/2 in. sockets
  • One battery in the kit means downtime unless you own more

Questions and answers

Is 250 ft-lb enough for lug nuts?
Yes for most passenger cars, whose lug nuts are usually torqued to 80–120 ft-lb. For heavy trucks or rusted fasteners, a full-size 1/2 in. impact is the safer choice.
How does it compare to a full-size 1/2 in. impact wrench?
It is much lighter and fits where a full-size tool will not, but it gives up torque and uses a 3/8 in. anvil. Keep a 1/2 in. impact for stubborn bolts and use this for everything else.
What comes in the box?
The wrench, one 2Ah MAX Output battery and a charger. Sockets are not included, so budget for a 3/8 in. impact socket set.
How long does the 2Ah battery last?
Expect a few dozen lug nuts or a short burst of bolt work per charge. For all-day use, buy a larger 18V battery or a second pack.
Does it work with other Ridgid 18V batteries?
Yes, it runs on Ridgid's 18V platform, including larger MAX Output packs. A bigger battery adds runtime and weight.
When is the best time to buy it?
Ridgid kits usually drop during holiday sales and store promotions. Compare the current price with its recent range before buying.
