RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Compact Impact Driver (RID18C) in action

The RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Compact Impact Driver is smaller and lighter than a standard size impact driver but don’t let that fool you. Its brushless motor generates up to 240Nm of torque with a maximum speed of 2,900RPM. Combined with a maximum impact rate of 4,200IPM and you’ll have no problem driving long and large fasteners into hardwood, sleepers, and other tougher DIY task. The 6.35mm (¼”) hex chuck only accepts bits with a ¼” hex shank. For added convenience, the belt clip allows for hands-free transport from project to project. The on-board LED work light can keep your workspace visible in poorly lit conditions.

This Compact Impact Driver is part of RYOBI’s ONE+ HP series of tools that utilise advanced technologies, like brushless motors that deliver higher performance, extended battery runtimes and longer motor life.

These tools are ideal for tough conditions and meet the rigorous demands of bigger and more complex DIY projects. And yet they still use ONE+ 18V batteries and have superior ergonomics for a premium user experience.

It's still somewhat large for the "compact" offering unless you've plans to release something smaller still? Often I don't need even half the 240nm but do need a tool to fit in the available area. In fact I'd never use it up to 240nm because a 1/4" drive system will chew up bits much past half that.
