Summary
The Yato cordless impact wrench 18V 2400Nm stands out for its high torque, which is on the same level as the TT-Tools E1519 but considerably higher than the Milwaukee and Ryobi models. Yato offers an excellent power-to-price ratio, especially for those who already own a Yato 18V battery. Milwaukee offers Bluetooth control and is part of the FUEL range aimed at professional use, but its torque is significantly lower. Ryobi, on the other hand, is lighter and part of the extensive ONE+ system, but its power cannot be compared with the torque of the Yato or the TT-Tools E1519.
Yato is a great choice if you need maximum torque and cost-effectiveness. The TT-Tools E1519, for its part, is very sturdily built and comes with two high-capacity batteries, which justifies its higher price. Milwaukee offers advanced features and a broad ecosystem, but in power it falls behind Yato. Ryobi suits lighter tasks and home use, but does not compete in this power class.
