Questions & Answers
What is the torque of this impact
Hello, Robert - This impact delivers 250 ft./lbs. of breakaway torque. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone at 1.866.539.1710, Monday - Friday from 9am to 5pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://register.ridgidpower.com/contact. This question is from RIDGID 18V SubCompact Brushless Cordless 3/8 in. Impact Wrench (Tool Only) (R872071B).
Advantage of a brushless motor
Brushless motors offer several advantages over traditional brushed motors: * **Longer lifespan:** Brushless motors don't have brushes that wear down, resulting in a significantly longer lifespan. Less friction also means less heat buildup, further contributing to durability. * **Higher efficiency:** Without the friction of brushes, brushless motors convert more power into rotational energy, making them more efficient. This translates to longer runtimes on battery-powered tools and lower energy consumption for corded tools. * **More compact and lightweight:** Brushless motors can be smaller and lighter than brushed motors with comparable power output, making tools easier to handle and maneuver, especially in tight spaces. * **Quieter operation:** The absence of brushes reduces noise and vibration, providing a more comfortable user experience. * **Greater power and torque:** Brushless motors can deliver higher power and torque for demanding applications. They also offer better speed control and responsiveness.
Hello, Patrick - Brushless tools have more power, longer runtime, and longer motor life. Brushless motors not only deliver more power but are also lighter and more compact than brushed motors, allowing you to work longer and more efficiently.

Recently purchased one of these and noticed when in auto mode, reverse direction that the tool only runs in the 0-850 speed range with no load. Book says auto mode is 0-2800 range. Will the tool auto ramp up to higher speed under load or is it DOA?
Hi Pollux, exact same question with a unit I just purchased. Rigid Canada is telling me that this is normal. In Auto reverse it spins at a much lower speed but ramps up to full speed under load. Did you get a new unit showing the same behaviour?
Hello, Pollux - Thank you for your question. I would recommend confirming you have the correct mode selected. The low setting is 0-850 RPM so that may be what is selected. If you have already confirmed you have the correct mode selected then your tool can be returned if it is within the return timeframe. I hope this helps!
