Is the Ryobi PBLIW01B worth it for home car work?

Yes, for lug nuts, suspension and rusted fasteners. Its 1,170 ft-lb rating covers most passenger-car and light-truck jobs, and the kit includes a battery and charger.

How does it compare with the mid-torque Ryobi impact wrench?

The high-torque PBLIW01B delivers more breakaway torque but is heavier and larger. The mid-torque model is easier to handle in tight engine bays but may struggle with heavily rusted bolts.

What battery does it use?

It runs on any Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery. The kit includes a 4.0Ah battery and charger, but a larger battery is worth considering for long jobs.

What size sockets does it take?

It uses 1/2-inch drive sockets with a friction-ring anvil. Standard impact-rated sockets are recommended.

The wrench, a 4.0Ah 18V battery and a charger. Sockets are not included.
