I was pleased with how quickly I received this tool. Nevertheless, when I attempted to remove my lug nuts, which were torqued to 80 foot pounds, the Ryobi P261 refused to budge from its position. With the help of a standard ratchet, I was able to easily remove them. To tighten the lug nuts, I used the middle setting on my torque wrench. In fact, when I tried them with a wrench to see how tight the Ryobi 261 had made them, I was surprised to discover that they weren’t even hand tight. This is a seriously underpowered piece of equipment.
