Sorry, I've got a dumb question and don't talk to me like I'm five. Treat me more like I'm 8.

Seriously tho - love the Ryobi product line but haven't used impact drivers. Are they a lot better than reg ones? If so, any reason not to use an impact version?

I see bits rated for impact but can I still mostly use non-impact rated bits with a low chance of breaking them?

Thanks in advance!!

If you are driving screws and lag bolts through anything remotely tougher than drywall, you need the impact driver. That's what they are built for. This model will drive huge lag bolts into studs and rafters with ease on the full torque setting. It will drive drywall inserts without damage on the lowest.

All my tools are Ryobi apart from the impact drive. I have Makita Brushless 4-speed impact driver. Is this same as Makita?

Buy any impact drive and try. You'll be impressed. I had the same experience. Now my Makita 4 speed impact drive is my to go tool including for drilling.

I can't speak for Makita. I've been with Ryobi since they were blue and have never had an issue with what I need them for. I have Milwaukee M12 automotive tools, but was never happy with any of their M18 stuff. I've heard good things of Makita, but have no need to switch. This tool is a beast for what it is though.

Really depends on what you're driving honestly, in drywall & wood (smaller screws) it probably wouldn't matter much...
I helped a neighbor on a stuck machine screw and it instantly twisted the cheap bit he was using. Grabbed my set that I assume is impact rated and it has no problem.

impact hits are more hardened . If you use a screw driving bit in an impact it will round out a lot faster , especially if you're not experienced and slip when driving screws. Obviously it'll last if you're not doing major screwing but long term the impact rated set will be better.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the best impact driver Ryobi has, correct?

Does anyone know how well the new compact one compares to this one?

I actually got mine (this model) soaked- it still works, mind you; it wouldn't turn on after it got wet, water dripping from within, but it worked after it dried. There were moments when it would completely lose contact with the battery and not turn on for a while, but it works like before now. However, I'm thinking there's bound to be rust within the unit, which would add resistance to the electrical wiring and overheat the unit faster, so I'm wondering if I should buy another one of these or go for the newer model.

Any thoughts?

Choose the "free gift with purchase" option, which is a 4ah HP battery ($119 option... msrp value of course). Then return the battery for whatever the cash value is shown on your receipt. It should split the 2 into separate line items at checkout.

I stated it was in the listing at the top. According to the ryobi chart it is a well. The PBLID01 matches the specs, but doesn't have the selectable drive mode to limit torque. It may be better for full time construction use, but I prefer this model. I have two for when I'm building things to keep multiple bit sizes loaded for speed. I've sold off any other models I've had once I landed on these. Definitely worth having a back up if you expect to lose one soon.

Basically impact drivers are for driving in screws and drills are for drilling holes.

And yes you are going to want to use impact rated bits, non impact rated bits will snap easier.

Also, ryobi brushless tools are of far better build quality than ryobi brushed tools. And I'm not talking about the brushless technology, I mean the components are of higher quality

Was looking for a hackable kit version with a hammer drill but I have more use case for this and might just keep waiting for a hackable tool only hammer drill. Have tons of batteries

When I add the battery as a free gift, I get the following message on my cart:

"Buy select RYOBI 18V HP Tools and get a FREE 4.0Ah HP Battery ($119.00 Value) | Applied"

But it's still ringing up the battery at $59 and the drill at another $59. Any advice? TIA!

Where is the question? You are seeing the correct prices. You just return the battery immediately upon pickup for the 59.50 return. That's how the hackable items work.
