The Ryobi PBLIW01K2 is the two-battery kit configuration of the 18V ONE+ HP brushless high-torque impact wrench, pairing the wrench with two 18V 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE batteries and an 18V charger for extended uninterrupted use. The wrench produces 1,170 ft-lbs of breakaway torque and 700 ft-lbs of fastening torque through four modes — three speed settings and an auto-stop mode — with a 1/2 in. friction ring anvil for quick tool-free socket changes. Having two batteries means you can keep one on the charger while using the other, eliminating downtime on demanding jobs like tire rotations, deck builds, or equipment service. Both batteries are fully cross-compatible with the entire Ryobi 18V ONE+ platform.
How many batteries come with the PBLIW01K2?
The PBLIW01K2 includes two 18V 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE batteries and one 18V charger. Having two batteries lets you rotate between them — one in the tool, one on the charger — for continuous operation on longer jobs.
Why would I choose the PBLIW01K2 over the PBLIW01K1?
The PBLIW01K2 makes sense if you plan to use the wrench heavily in a single session, work in situations where a dead battery causes significant downtime (such as a remote job site), or want a second battery for other tools in your ONE+ collection. The PBLIW01K1 is the better value for occasional or light use.
What is the breakaway torque on the PBLIW01K2?
The impact wrench in the PBLIW01K2 delivers 1,170 ft-lbs of breakaway torque — the maximum force it can apply to loosen a stuck fastener. Fastening torque, which is the force applied when driving a fastener, is 700 ft-lbs.
Does the PBLIW01K2 work on truck lug nuts?
Yes, for most light-duty trucks and heavy-duty pickups with standard lug nut torque requirements up to around 150 ft-lbs. The 1,170 ft-lb breakaway rating provides significant headroom above typical factory torque specs, including seized or corroded fasteners. For commercial vehicles with very high torque requirements, verify against the vehicle's service manual.
Are the included batteries HIGH PERFORMANCE or standard?
Both included batteries are 18V 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE (HP) cells. HIGH PERFORMANCE batteries deliver faster charge times, lower voltage sag under heavy load, and better sustained output compared to Ryobi's standard-series batteries of the same capacity.
