Why does the Australian version (RRW4K) have half almost half the power (8NM vs 10FL LBS or abut 13.5 NM) and 10 RPM less (210 RPM vs 220 RPM) compared to the US version (FVRC51K)? It really feels like Australia is a dumping ground for Ryobi for subpar versions of US products. Is the torque and RPM just being measured differently or are Australians getting shafted yet again?
I do feel also that Australia gets a bit worse products in general, not just from Ryobi... Its probably because its a small country when you look at population in comparison to us.
@@Nedstooltalk Definitely agree there! I had to order the Ryobi 3/8 multi size ratchet from the US, just because it's not available here. I like the Ryobi ratchets in general but when I look at US prices, it's obvious to see why Ryobi is popular here - in the US an M12 ratchet is only a bit more expensive than the Ryobi one here, but over here the M12 is almost twice as much! Crazy price differences
@@Nedstooltalk I have to say, having got it and used it - it has plenty of power! About 8NM, but thats plenty for small and sensitive fasteners (and almost too much for plastic ones) - I think its a great amount of power for sensitive fasteners. Very very happy with it! (I used the bigger ryobis for bigger fasteners)
I'm in America and I've noticed that many of the Australian versions of Ryobi tools are better than the US versions, but they are usually quite a bit more money too. I sincerely doubt that there is any power difference between the US version of this ratchet and the Australian version, the later is probably an honest rating and not inflated like the US version.
