Whether you are looking to replace an old or misplaced tool or simply purchase a new and exciting tool or product for the DIYer in your life, it’s always good to pay attention to what brand they have the most of in their workshop. Just as many people have favorite makes of car or a preference for their appliance brands, it isn’t uncommon for a DIYer, tool nerd, or construction pro to have a favorite brand of tools and products. 

Ryobi is one such brand that often receives a lot of attention due to the quality of its products and the affordable prices of many of its tools, such as the Ryobi multi-bit screwdriver or 52-piece driving set. If you know someone with many Ryobi tools and products, or are looking to invest in a drill/driver and a small set of starter tools for a new DIYer, then check out this list of top Ryobi gifts to complete your shopping list for birthdays, anniversaries, seasonal gifts, and more.

With over two hours of runtime when equipped with two 40V Ryobi batteries, this powerful cordless backpack leaf blower is ideal for cleaning up large yards. It features a shoulder harness with adjustable straps and an LCD screen to display battery life and the current operating mode, as well as a variable speed trigger with a cruise control option for convenient use.

What our tester says: “The pro-grade backpack Ryobi blower made quick work of heavy leaf piles and damp debris. Both ran smoothly, felt balanced, and offered excellent runtime. The backpack’s padded harness and variable-speed control made longer leaf-cleaning sessions comfortable.” —Tom Scalisi, Product Reviews tester and writer

Stick Vacuum

Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum Cleaner

Buy at The Home Depot

Keep workshop floors, garage spaces, and home interiors clean without the hassle of cords with this powerful cordless stick vacuum. Featuring ONE+ HP technology, this vacuum delivers strong suction specifically designed to handle pet hair and debris. The lightweight, maneuverable design makes it easy to clean stairs, vehicles, and tight spaces, making it an excellent gift for the pet owner or meticulous DIYer who values a clean workspace.

Reciprocating Saw

Ryobi 18V Cordless Reciprocating Saw

Buy at The Home Depot

Clean up trees and bushes in the yard, cut firewood, or tackle projects around the home with the Ryobi reciprocating saw. Depending on the type of blade the saw has equipped, you can cut through wood, plastic, or even metal, making it a great option for a wide variety of jobs, from plumbing to yard maintenance.

What our tester says: “I tested the One+ reciprocating saw. It’s compact, powerful, and ideal for tight spaces or smaller pruning tasks, which made cutting firewood and trimming trees cleaner and faster than any gas model I’ve owned.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Impact Wrench

Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 1/2 in. Impact Wrench

Buy at The Home Depot

Delivering up to 375 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 3,100 impacts per minute, this tool makes quick work of stubborn bolts and lug nuts. The 1/2-inch anvil accepts standard impact sockets, making it versatile for everything from seasonal tire changes to deck building projects. As part of the ONE+ system, it works with any Ryobi 18V battery, making it an excellent addition for anyone already invested in the Ryobi ecosystem.

The built-in wheels and telescoping handle make this pressure washer a great choice for cleaning the deck, patio, fence, patio furniture, and any other suitable dirty surfaces around the home, since you rarely need to worry about picking it up. The pressure washer has an on-board soap tank, nozzle, hose, wand, and cord storage, as well as three included nozzles and a metal spray wand for convenient control and organized storage. 

What our tester says: “One of the standout features of the Ryobi 2000 power washer is its user-friendly design. Starting the pressure washer was as easy as pushing a button. The top-mounted control panel features a large “on” button in black and a red “off” button. Both are clearly marked and easy to see.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Improve the power and runtime of Ryobi power tools by picking up this impressive battery, which works with all Ryobi ONE+ products. The battery not only adds twice the power and four times the amount of runtime, it also runs cool and tends to last about 50 percent longer than a standard battery, making it well worth the investment for avid DIYers.

What our tester says: “I charged a standard battery along with the Edge to do some comparison testing. With the standard Ryobi 4Ah battery in the reciprocating saw, I was able to cut through dimensional lumber, plywood, and OSB. But when I used the Edge battery, the saw had more power and didn’t bog down when I exerted pressure to cut faster. That’s a clear advantage for those who want to speed up their work time. More power means getting the job done quickly.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

The convenient size of the Ryobi wet/dry shop vac makes it simple to store and transport as necessary. As the name implies, it’s suitable for both wet and dry use, and since it is powered by the included Ryobi battery, you don’t need to remain tethered to an electrical outlet. The kit also comes with a crevice tool, two extension wands, a 7-foot hose, and a floor nozzle for easy clean up after a DIY project.

What our tester says: “Cleaning up small messes is no problem with Ryobi’s 1-gallon battery-operated shop vac. This little shop sucker is tiny in size but long on power. It took almost 2 hours to charge the included 4 Ah battery fully, but we tested it for over an hour, and it was still sucking powerfully when we finished testing.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Make yard maintenance and firewood collection easy with the 20-inch Ryobi cordless chainsaw, which operates using the included 40V battery and charger. The power-packed battery delivers long lasting energy, so you can make over 100 cuts per charge, while the chainsaw produces more power than a 52cc gas chainsaw, ensuring safe, steady, and reliable cutting.

What our tester says: “I spent two full weekends testing the chainsaw on firewood logs. The chainsaw ripped through oak and hedge without binding and took on logs like a pro, starting instantly and staying consistent through the cut.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

The unique shape of this Ryobi sander makes it easier to sand tight angles and narrow corners, while the top grip is padded to help reduce vibration so that your hand, wrist, and arm are not sore after using it for an extended period of time. The sandpaper attaches quickly and easily with the hook and loop fastening system, and the sander can be used with all 18V ONE+ Ryobi batteries, making this tool a great choice for Ryobi fans who already have a few batteries in their collection.

What our tester says: “This is one of the easiest detail sanders I’ve ever used, and that’s primarily because it didn’t come with a bunch of bells and whistles I had to learn before I could start testing. It’s simple to line up the precut sanding pads with the sanding plate and then smooth them on. They stick well, but they are not difficult to peel off.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Drive down deep with more power than a comparable gas auger with this battery powered model that can make up to 30 holes per charge. Made with a built-in anti-kickback system, as well as both a forward and reverse function, this Ryobi cordless auger is ideal for preparing soil, digging holes for fence posts, and light yard cultivation.

What our tester says: “The Ryobi post hole digger is ideal for users who want the convenience of a battery-powered auger for digging holes for fencing or landscaping. It isn’t limited by the length of an extension cord or the need to buy, transport, and store gasoline. If your soil is free of large rocks and mature tree roots, the Ryobi RY40710 cordless auger will save time and labor compared with using a manual post hole digger.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Drill/Driver Kit

Ryobi 18V Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

Buy at The Home Depot

Tackle a variety of jobs both inside and outside the home with this cordless drill/driver, which provides up to 515 in-lbs of torque. The drill/driver is compatible with all 18V ONE+ Ryobi batteries and has a built-in LED worklight so you can clearly see the surface you are drilling through or the fasteners you are driving. Boasting up to 1,750 RPM, this drill/driver is a powerful and convenient tool the Ryobi fan in your home is sure to enjoy.

What our tester says: “Ryobi’s best all-around drill is a cordless model capable of handling most of the drilling and screw-driving needs a DIYer would encounter. Its max speed of 1,750 RPM matches cordless drills offered by many higher-priced premium power tool brands.” —Tony Carrick, Product Reviews tester and writer

Air Compressor Kit

Ryobi 18V Cordless Air Compressor Kit

Buy at The Home Depot

Lightweight and highly portable, this Ryobi air compressor is ideal for the job site or for carrying around the home to tackle a variety of construction projects. Provide reliable air-driven power to your pneumatic tools without worrying about extension cords thanks to the cordless design of this 1-gallon air compressor, which has a max pressure of 120 PSI. Additionally, the kit comes with a battery and a battery charger, so you don’t have to go looking for one of your existing Ryobi batteries before getting started on a new project.

What our tester says: “This little air compressor weighs just 14 pounds and comes with a padded nonslip handle for carrying. Both the battery and charger are included. In our testing, the battery ran for about 1 hour with constant use. You could expect to get more time out of it if you use it on a less constant basis, such as nailing brads for a few minutes and then measuring and cutting additional trim, which is more realistic. You can also buy a higher-capacity Ryobi 18-volt battery to increase the compressor’s runtime.” —Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer
