Milwaukee has the same feature, and I assume most others do too. Yes it is helpful for sure.
My first time using impact driver. Wow!

Yes Auto for taking them off. "1" putting them on and let it hit twice. Torque wrench turns about 45 degrees to reach 100 pounds.

Those are the best thing since sliced bread to break loose a rusty slotted or Phillips screw.
yup that's how I've used my Ryobi. In regular mode it will keep spinning the drive/socket but in auto it will sense that the bolt/nut has broken free and it slows down to a crawl. That way the nut or bolt doesn't go flying somewhere else. Very cool feature. I haven't even used regular mode!
And I don't use the impact wrench to tighten anything only loosen, tighten by hand and then the torque wrench for final tightening. so can't answer you on how the Ryobi does that feature.
That is 1/2" impact wrench. Impact drivers are those that have hex head and need an adaptor to become 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2" driver.

And the cheesy screws on motorcycle side cases BITD. The Phillips bit fit them perfectly.

I worked on Harleys. The primary case cover bolts usually took the threads with them! Fortunately I was able to use longer bolts.
So lots of Black Friday deals already out.
One thing that puzzles me. A Ryobi P262 is a 1/2” “Mid Torque” unit selling tool only for $179 or $279 with battery and charger.
But the Ryobi PBLIW01K1 is a 1/2” High Torque selling in a bundle for $149. How does that make sense?

It doesn't make sense. Sales at Home Depot are weird like that a lot of the time. Looks like a good deal on a high torque impact, though.
I have the older p262, 600ft/lbs max. But that monster PBLIW01 is a monster at 1170ft/lbs! but that price, reminds me when I got my p262 it was around this time of the year, that's when you can get the best deals. I remember I got the 4.0ah HP ONE+ batteries, 2 of them for $99 during those sales, like now. I even picked up a $20 small Ryobi clip on fan, use that thing everywhere!
yup it's crazy deals (enjoy!) but they're trying to move stuff just to get sales.. It's not like the economy is really stellar right now. I'd say go to the store, hold the newer impact wrench, see how it feels in your hand. It's about 1.6lbs heavier than my p262. Plus that's without the battery. But with that low price, time to working out the arms if it's too much, lol

I’m retiring soon and will be doing small engine mechanics a couple days a week. I’m very strongly considering buying the new Milwaukee M12 Fuel 3/8” impact. I bought Harbor Freight Icon deep impact sockets and I have Snap On standard depth sockets. I’m looking forward to seeing how this works. I’ll try to remember to let you guys know how I like it.
I don't see a hog ring on that anvil. It's a ball detent.
Having replaced multiple hog rings and dealt with that hassle, I'll take Makita's ball detent every time.
Wait until you pull the trigger of a snap on pneumatic impact gun at 150psi air lol! Also sounds like a formula 1 car
