Pro Tool Reviews tested the Ryobi HP Brushless P262 against the RIDGID 18V Brushless R86012. The comparison uses bolt-removal, lag-bolt and inertia-torque tests to show why a manufacturer’s headline breakaway-torque figure does not tell the whole story.
In the reported bolt-removal test, the tools finished very close: 33.27 seconds for Ryobi and 33.68 seconds for RIDGID across eight nuts. RIDGID posted the higher inertia-torque result in the same review. The batteries used differed, so the article’s complete setup matters when interpreting the results.
