Ryobi 18V HP Compact Brushless High Speed Ratchet 3/8″ & 1/4″
These new 18V tools are not Ryobi’s first cordless ratchet wrenches. Their earlier model was an attachment to their now defunct Jobplus system. Since then they’ve come out with several standalone cordless ratchet wrenches. They’ve created regular, and brushless extended reach ratchets. So it makes sense they now come out with brushless high speed ratchets. Sister TTI brand Milwaukee did the same with their ratchets and also made high speed extended reach ratchets. So I believe that’s what Ryobi will make next after these. Keep in mind that this is in no way confirming they will do so. Just my personal opinion.
Ryobi 18V HP Compact Brushless High Speed Ratchet 3/8″ & 1/4″ – Performance Specs
These high speed ratchets feature up to 460 RPM which makes them double the speed of most of their previous 18V ratchets. This helps you get done faster. And thanks to their brushless motor, they are able to achieve up to 40 ft-lbs of torque. These performance specs are identical on both models.
Ryobi 18V HP Compact Brushless High Speed Ratchet 3/8″ & 1/4″ – Features
Their difference is that one has a 1/4″ drive while the other a 3/8″ drive. The size drive sockets you have on hand will determine which model you get. Other than that, they both have similar features. The 1/4″ model is shown above.
The 3/8″ model is shown above.
Ryobi says these are the smallest and lightest cordless ratchets they’ve ever made. We can also see the large metal paddle trigger with variable speed control.
The head can rotate into 4 positions to help when working with awkward angles.
They also feature two LED lights near the head to help illuminate in low light situations.
Pricing & Availability
Both are priced at $129 as a baretool (PSBRC02B & PSBRC26B). In kit form (PSBRC02K1 & PSBRC26K1) with a 2ah battery and charger they are priced at $179. No specific launch date is mentioned however Ryobi says we can expect it during Spring 2023.
