If I only change tires twice a year how long before brushes need replacing? Deciding between this and the ridgid-18v-gen5x-brushless-4-mode-impact-wrench for about $40 more.

The brushes will probably never need replacing. I'm probably imagining the benefits of brushless. But the Ridgid does bring extra torque, and the LSA; these are tangible benefits, so it is still absolutely worth the extra money.

The only compelling reason to get the Ryobi is that you already have heaps of Ryobi, but you desperately need the extra battery from the Ryobi kit.

The brushes are probably not replaceable but the good news is, that at your use rate, they will outlast you. The bad news is the batteries will fail long before the tool which may make the LSA on the Ridgid very attractive.

Damnit, I do not want or need to buy one of these impact wrenches... neither one really but I sure am tempted... I mean, honestly in my 40+ years, I only needed an impact wrench with enough torque to remove lugs once, last year when I had to remove a trailer tire, and couldn't get it to break free.

Is it cord or cordless for the recall?

Any advantage of this over an impact with 1/4” hex nut adapter? I already have 2 Ryobi impacts drivers that I was going to use for tire changes with a 1/4” to 1/2” impact adapter.

I guess this reduces the chance of failure since i don’t need the adapter.

I believe it's corded. Mine is. I just haven't looked at the product number on mine yet

If only light duty and for compact to mid size cars, you may think about the Ryobi 3/8 impact wrench. I posted the deal link now from HomeDepot.

But like i said, it'll be great for 95% of people in the ryobi ecosystem, which is a consumer grade line, not an automotive workshop... if you're doing that kind of work you're likely not using ryobi
Speaking from personal experience, I don't think so. If you have a racing team, the cars are likely well maintained. I recently had to change the rear differential oil on a 2012 Subaru Impreza with 300,000 kms that was probably never changed, and believe it or not I had to use the highest setting on my Dewalt DCF899HP2 with 1200 ft/lb of breaking torque just to undo the rust-encrusted fill and drain plugs! Mind you that's with a long extension and universal joint in the mix, so you lose some power, but that's part of my point.

If Ryobi/HD sold the equivalent brushless wrench in Canada I probably would have got that instead, but it isn't on the market here yet. I suspect they are clearing out this old model to make room......
"Auto-Stop Mode to help prevent over-tightening and damaging projects"

Does that mean you can set a specific torque value for things like wheel nuts? Or does it just stop at a certain pre-determined point.

Each adapter/connection/extension you add reduces the torque transmitted to the nut.

Don't underestimate the impact feature. I couldn't take off my diff plug with a 2ft breaker bar and at least 200lbs of effort, so 400ft-lbs. I then hit it with an impact good for 200ft-lbs and it came off easily.

That's what I figured and went ahead to order this to be able to safely remove + tighten the lugs. The video I posted earlier ends with the guy saying that the 1/2" Impact wrench was the one that tighten the lugs the tightest.

No, it won't tighten to a specific torque, you need a torque wrench for that. But you can put a bolt on, start tightening in auto mode, and it will stop at around 20-40 ft.lb rather than fully tightening it. Very handy for just quickly setting the bolt/tire/part in place, then allowing you to go back and finish it off.

A lot of people complain that the adapter will eventually shear off

From what I’ve been told, avoid using an impact gun on those frozen Subaru differential plugs cause it will just round out the plug. Get the proper square socket and use a breaker bar along with a few heat/ freeze it cycles

There is a safety recall for it and CTC confirms safety recall never expires. Here is the recall by HealthCanada, I just found out last week.
Was the receipt required? I have one of these...but the receipt is loooong gone.
