The Ryobi PBLIW01B is an 18V ONE+ HP brushless high-torque impact wrench that delivers 1,170 ft-lbs of breakaway torque and 700 ft-lbs of fastening torque — enough to tackle lug nuts, heavy equipment fasteners, and large structural bolts. Four operating modes (three speed settings plus an auto-stop mode) let you match output to the fastener, preventing overtightening without sacrificing power when you need maximum force. The 1/2 in. friction ring anvil makes socket swaps fast without tools, and the compact brushless motor keeps the wrench usable in tighter access points than pneumatic guns. This is a bare-tool listing — no battery or charger is included.
Does the PBLIW01B come with a battery?
No. The PBLIW01B is a bare-tool listing — only the impact wrench itself is included, with no battery or charger. You will need a compatible Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery and charger. For a ready-to-use bundle, see the PBLIW01K1 (single 4.0 Ah battery) or PBLIW01K2 (two 4.0 Ah batteries).
How much torque does the PBLIW01B produce?
The PBLIW01B delivers 1,170 ft-lbs of breakaway torque and 700 ft-lbs of fastening torque. That breakaway figure is strong enough to remove seized lug nuts and heavy hex-head fasteners that resist lower-torque impact drivers.
What are the 4 modes on the PBLIW01B?
The four modes consist of three variable speed settings — low, medium, and high — plus an auto-stop mode that halts the tool once a programmed torque threshold is reached. The speed settings control how aggressively the wrench drives fasteners, while auto-stop prevents overtightening on critical assemblies.
What socket drive size does the PBLIW01B use?
The PBLIW01B uses a standard 1/2 in. drive with a friction ring anvil. The friction ring allows tool-free socket removal — squeeze the ring to release the socket rather than using a detent pin tool. Standard 1/2 in. impact sockets are compatible.
What batteries are compatible with the PBLIW01B?
Any Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery fits the PBLIW01B, but for sustained high-torque use a HIGH PERFORMANCE 4.0 Ah or 6.0 Ah battery is strongly recommended. Smaller capacity packs will work but may experience faster voltage sag under heavy load, reducing peak torque output.
