The RIDGID R86212B is an 18V brushless 1/2-inch high-torque impact wrench built for heavy automotive and equipment work. It claims 1,300 ft-lbs of breakaway torque and 900 ft-lbs of fastening torque, with three speeds plus an auto-tightening mode that stops when a bolt is seated. It is lighter than the model it replaces and runs on any RIDGID 18V battery, but the battery and charger are sold separately. Against mid-torque rivals it trades portability for raw loosening power; against flagship high-torque guns from other brands it sits in the same class on paper but has a smaller battery ecosystem.
