A closeup of the tool. The paintjob is high-gloss instead of matte. But unlike the high-gloss Black&Decker tools, these Ryobi tools have some sort of glitter mixed into the paint so they've more akin to the paintjob of a CAR. It is a very pretty set of tools

This tool officially sits 3 cm smaller than the hilti SFD-2 A12 and, ((((to my limited knowledge)))): this probably makes this Ryobi XR the smallest subcompact impact driver in the ENTIRE Western Hemisphere. And it's not even 12 volt! It's 18!!!

It has a dewalt pinout and does indeed work with american dewalt batteries. When I first obtained the ryobi, I borrowed a 1.5Ah battery from my elders and was able to drive screws and predrill pilot holes for 11 hours. Because I use various different drivers in a single job, I cannot claim to know of any specific statistics that'd be useful to share other than it "lasted all day" without a blinking//critical battery warning.

These are the normal modes that you'd find on any ordinary impact driver
-
Either it is 'technical" mode or "texture" mode, I've already used this tool extensively to drive over 320 screws and lags but STILL have no idea what this mode actually does. I need to transcribe more of the user manual first.
-
In this mode, you can set the speed of the motor and then lock it there so that you don't have to hold the trigger for extended periods of time. I assume it's useful for driving water pumps or turning a makeshift lathe?

At 9.9 cenimeters long, the Ryobi is smaller than EVEN HILTI's compact 12v tools which are both around 13cm long.
