The Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 4-Mode 1/2” High Torque Impact Wrench Kit (PBLIW01K1) is priced at $149.00 on Ryobi’s US site, marked down from $269.00. The kit includes the wrench, a 4Ah battery and a charger.
Ryobi rates the tool at up to 1,170 ft-lbs of breakaway torque and 700 ft-lbs of fastening torque. Bob Vila put the same kit on its list of early Black Friday Ryobi deals at The Home Depot on November 9, 2026, again at $149 against $269.
What is in the Ryobi PBLIW01K1 kit?
The kit has three parts, according to Ryobi’s product page:
- PBLIW01, the 18V ONE+ HP brushless 4-mode 1/2” high torque impact wrench
- PBP004, a 4Ah battery
- A charger
The specifications Ryobi publishes for the wrench:
- Anvil: 1/2” with friction ring
- Torque: 1,170 ft-lbs breakaway, 700 ft-lbs fastening
- Speed: 0-900, 0-1,400 and 0-2,100 RPM in the three speeds, 0-1,400 RPM in Auto mode
- Impacts per minute: 0-2,800 IPM
- Extras: Tri-Beam LED worklights and a die cast gear case
Ryobi says the three speeds plus Auto mode give users control across automotive and jobsite work, and that the friction ring makes socket changes quick. These are the maker’s claims, and the page does not include test results.
The wrench runs on the 18V ONE+ battery system, which Ryobi says covers over 300 products. Any ONE+ battery you already own should fit.
How much does it cost?
In the US, the kit is $149.00 on ryobitools.com, against a regular price of $269.00, and the page tags it as a special buy. The bare tool, model PBLIW01B, is listed at $219.00 on the same page. Right now the kit with a battery and charger costs less than the tool alone.
Ryobi also lists 11 piece deep impact socket sets on that page: a metric set (RHMTIS31102) at $44.97 and an SAE set (RHMTIS31101) at $49.47. Bob Vila’s roundup carries a bundle of the kit with a socket set at $193.97, against $313.97 before.
Ryobi’s Canadian site, ryobitools.ca, lists the same kit and a tool only option, but the page text does not show a price. Readers in Canada should check the Canadian listing for the price in Canadian dollars. Neither source gives an end date for the US price, so it can change at any time.
Why are people looking at this kit?
The price is the reason. Bob Vila counted the kit among its favourite early Black Friday Ryobi deals and put the saving at 45% off. Ryobi’s own page marks it as a special buy.
The comparison with the bare tool adds to it: a reader who pays $149.00 gets a spare 4Ah battery and a charger for less than the $219.00 listed for the wrench alone.
Who is the Ryobi PBLIW01K1 for?
Home mechanics. Tire rotations, brake jobs and suspension bolts are the sort of work a 1/2” impact wrench is made for, and the rated 1,170 ft-lbs of breakaway torque is aimed at stuck fasteners.
Owners of ONE+ tools. If your shelf already has 18V ONE+ batteries, this adds a high torque tool to the same pack family. The extra 4Ah battery and charger are useful for long jobs.
Yard and equipment owners. Bob Vila points to seized bolts on vehicles and yard equipment as the use case.
Who should wait. Anyone who needs a Canadian price, a sale end date or independent torque tests. The figures above come from Ryobi and the retailer pricing from Bob Vila, and none of the sources we read includes bench tests.
What is still unknown?
Neither Ryobi nor Bob Vila says how long the $149.00 price will last. The Canadian price is not shown on the page we read. We also found no independent torque or runtime tests of this exact kit.
Where to check the price
Compare the price on ryobitools.com and at The Home Depot before you buy, since special buy prices tend to move. Make sure the listing says PBLIW01K1, the kit with the battery and charger, and not the tool only PBLIW01B.
