115 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The R862311B impact driver is priced at $129 and holds a 4.5-star average from 115 owner reviews. That rating is consistent with the broader field of 18V impact drivers in this category. However, the listing provides no published specs beyond the 18-volt platform: no speed, no weight, no amperage, no dimensions. Evaluating the R862311B against its spec data alone is not possible.
At $129, this listing sits in the upper-mid price range of the 18V impact driver category, where competing models from Makita, RYOBI, and ONEAND publish detailed speed and weight figures for direct comparison. The 115-review base is the smallest in this batch, and zero units sold last month suggests the listing is not currently a high-demand choice.
Owners who have purchased it rate it 4.5 stars, which is a respectable outcome if not a standout one. For buyers who already know this tool from prior use or a trusted recommendation, the rating is reassuring. For first-time buyers evaluating it against the broader category, the combination of minimal spec data, limited review volume, and no current monthly demand makes it difficult to recommend over better-documented alternatives at a similar or lower price.
Pros
- 4.5-star rating from 115 reviews suggests owners who purchased are broadly satisfied
- 18-volt battery platform is a common and practical cordless voltage tier
Cons
- No speed, weight, amperage, or dimensions published, preventing meaningful spec comparison
- 115 reviews is the smallest buyer feedback pool in this entire batch
- $129 price competes directly with better-specified alternatives including the Makita XDT18ZB and RYOBI 2V-Y53L-22LZ
Performance notes
Battery-powered, 18-volt platform. No speed, weight, amperage, or dimensional specs are published for this listing. Performance evaluation based on spec data alone is not feasible. The 4.5-star rating from 115 owners suggests practical usability, but without published figures, determining appropriate use cases requires referencing the manufacturer's full spec sheet.
What buyers say
With only 115 reviews and a 4.5-star average, the R862311B has a relatively small but modestly satisfied owner base. No strong patterns emerge from this limited sample. Buyers who selected it appear satisfied with basic functionality, but the thin review pool makes it difficult to draw broader conclusions about durability or performance under demanding conditions.

Is the R862311B worth buying at $129 compared to other 18V impact drivers?
At $129 without published specs, the R862311B is harder to justify against alternatives like the Makita XDT18ZB at $105.91 (3,000 RPM, 311 reviews) or the ONEAND PBLID01B at $84.48 (2,900 RPM, 638 reviews, 4.8 stars).
