HD sells this Ryobi impact driver minus the battery. How do I find out what battery it requires?

It uses the standard Ryobi 18 volt One+ battery pack.

A few months back one 18V was like 25$ and two were right at $40 if the price is still the same. If you buy it please advise of how well you like it, I have been wanting one of those myself and would love to know what you think of it. :thumbup:

I got one of them, they are a great tool for driving lags (3/8") havent tried anything bigger yet. Also great for nuts and bolts up to 1/2" if they are not severly rusted.

Great for small engine repair - lawn mower type stuff.

I also use it for for body panel removal, alot quicker than an air ratchet and alot less noise.

Also a great tool for a pick a part or salvage yard.

That little led light is great for under the dash work also :thumbup:

I have 4 of Ryobi's cordless tools and they get used daily I haven't had a bit of trouble from any of them, and the price of the batteries just cant be beat.

I'll write up a report on this Ryobi after I built my patio cover. I hope it'll have the torque I need for the job.

After 3 failed attempts to re-order the Ryobi from Home Depot, I cancelled the order.
Something about my bank not allowing the transaction. I called the bank and they claim that HD never even attempted a withdraw. Anyways, I ended up ordering the Craftsman C3 impact driver. It's a 19.2V whereas the Ryobi was an 18v.

The difference in price was within $5 or so, so I think I'll be getting a better tool.
Does anybody have any experience or feedback on the Craftsman C3?

The accuall model number is #11483

Here's a link.
