Lesser-Known Ryobi Products To Help Tackle Your Next Home Improvement Project

Whether you're a home improvement guru or just an occasional DIYer, you've almost certainly heard of Ryobi. The company is well-known for its top-performing power tools and innovative products. However, you probably aren't familiar with the pure breadth of Ryobi's product line. The company actually offers rather extensive lines that stretch far beyond the standard power tools and hand tools that you'd expect to find.

For example, would you have guessed that Ryobi sells Bluetooth speakers? And there's no way you'd be able to predict that they also have portable solar panels that you can use to charge your cell phone, hand tools, and other devices. Well, these are only two of the lesser known products available from Ryobi that could help set you up for success as you plan for and complete your next home improvement project. Keep reading to learn about all the Ryobi products you didn't even know you needed.

Ryobi 18V ONE+ Outdoor Patio Cleaner

If cleaning your patio is one of those chores you always dread, you can make it fun again with the Ryobi 18V ONE+ Outdoor Patio Cleaner. The patio sweeper almost looks too good to be true with its innovative design that simplifies cleaning and decreases the amount of elbow grease you'll need to get the job done. The design features a rotating brush that helps break down dirt, moss, and other built-up gunk on concrete, asphalt, or decking. To help you control the device, there are two handles — one along the top of the tool by the controls and one mid-way down the pole for stability and guidance.

It takes green moss off of my patio pavers, it cleans dirt off any area really well. It's not too heavy so it's comfortable to use."

Available for $59.97, the Ryobi 18V ONE+ Verse Clamp Speaker is compatible with Ryobi's 18V ONE+ battery (which powers any of the Ryobi ONE+ tools).

Customers who have decided to give this speaker a shot are overwhelmingly pleased with their decision to do so. "This is great when you are working in the shop or grilling. Very durable and the sound quality is excellent." You can also use it outside of the house. "I highly recommend getting one.

Let the Ryobi LED Whole Stud Detector help you the next time you need to locate a stud before hanging a picture, mounting a bookshelf, or cutting into the drywall. This tool features a smart design with a series of LED lights across the top. When you come across a stud, some of the lights will turn on, showing you precisely where the stud is located and how wide it is. Beyond that, the tool is also able to detect the type of material that is behind it, letting you know whether you're dealing with a wood stud, something made from metal, or AC wiring.
