Ryobi ONE+ Impact Driver
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Craftsman V20 MAX set is a prosumer-focused combo kit featuring a brushless impact driver with 1700 in-lbs of torque and 2900 RPM. It offers good value with included batteries and charger, though the sensitive trigger requires careful handling. It is best suited for DIYers and light professionals needing versatility for deck building and furniture assembly.
The Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless Impact Driver is a compact, brushed-motor tool designed for DIY homeowners, delivering 1,800 in-lbs of torque and 3,400 IPM. Its primary limitation is the brushed motor, which offers less efficiency and durability than brushless competitors. It is best suited for budget-conscious users needing a reliable entry-level tool within the Ryobi ecosystem.
