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.

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.

The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Outdoor Patio Cleaner costs $95.75 for the tool only, and $149 with a battery and charger. Many customers who have purchased the patio sweeper are very satisfied with their decision to do so. One individual who purchased the tool said, "I have been thinking about this item for some time, and I decided that I would purchase it. I'm very happy that I did! 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."

Whether you're working on your car in the garage or finishing up your latest DIY project, you might want to take a look at the Ryobi USB Lithium LED Magnetic Clamp Light Kit. The light is easy to attach near your work area — and move to different locations — with its 1 ¼-inch magnetic clamping base. It features three brightness modes, with the top setting projecting 1,000 lumens to help you see. The head also rotates a full 360 degrees and pivots 180 degrees, making it easy to direct the light precisely where you need it to go.

You can purchase the USB Lithium LED Magnetic Clamp Light Kit for $49.97. It has a rechargeable lithium battery that lasts for up to 10 hours. A USB charging cable is included with each purchase to help you recharge the light when needed. Those who have tried this light are impressed by its performance. One customer said, "This has become my new favorite light! Not only does it have a clamp, but a magnetic base too! I use this for a BBQ light, and on my smoker too. You can't beat the brightness and efficiency."

This Ryobi lawn tool can make spreading grass seed a breeze. The 18V ONE+ 1 Gallon Power Spreader holds enough seed to cover up to 5,000 square feet of lawn per tank. Its motor enables the tool to spread seed up to 5 feet. Possibly even better, this spread is designed to be easy to use. The handle features a built-in trigger to dispense the seed. You can easily control the flow using the adjustable knobs to ensure your coverage needs are met.

This spreader is versatile, offering several application options beyond seed. It can also be used to spread fertilizer, weed control, or ice melt across your lawn or walkways. A customer favorite, the Ryobi 18V ONE+ 1 Gallon Power Spreader costs $59.97. "It works very well with grass seed and fertilizer. I was always getting out the big spreader or throwing stuff by hand. This solved the problem, no heavy spreader and no mess. I loaded it up and away I went, a small area done in no time," wrote one satisfied customer.

If you like rockin' out as you tackle your to-do list, then you might want to take a look at the Ryobi 18V ONE+ Verse Clamp Speaker. The 1 ¾-inch clamp capacity makes it easy to attach to a variety of objects nearly anywhere you're working. Once you have it where you need it, connect your smart device to the speaker using Bluetooth to stream your favorite music or podcasts. You can stream from up to 250 feet away and can even connect multiple speakers together for clearer and louder sound.

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). The battery is not included, however, so if you don't already have one at home for other Ryobi tools, you'll need to purchase it separately. 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. I can see it also being great for camping or tailgating," said one customer.

A stud finder — or detector — is a must-have for many home improvement projects. 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.

Purchase the Ryobi LED Whole Stud Detector for $24.97. And don't just take our word for it: "Highly recommend! Easy to use, loved the multiple lights allowing you to see the whole stud. Stud marker made it a snap to mark the center of each stud," one customer shared about their experience. 

This 60-watt foldable solar panel from Ryobi can be a real asset, whether you're working away from a power source, camping, or even tailgating. It can be used to power or charge small electronics, such as cellphones, Bluetooth speakers, tablets, or anything else that has a USB-A or USB-C port. If you have Ryobi 18V ONE+ batteries with a compatible power source, you'll even be able to charge them using the solar panel. Because the solar panel folds, you can easily carry it with you when traveling, or keep it out of the way in storage. When folded up, the integrated handle makes it easy to carry. It even has a built-in accessory port to hold chargers and other small items, as well as a kickstand to help it stand up when you're ready to use it.

This solar panel is very highly rated among customers who have purchased it. One wrote, "I've never owned a solar panel product prior. But wow-this thing has opened my eyes to new possibilities! It charged my iPhone 15 in less than an hour. We have taken it camping and to a few sporting events so we can keep devices charged up on those long days away from home." Purchase the Ryobi 60-Watt Foldable Solar Panel for $249.

Even if you plant hedges for privacy, you still need to keep them looking neat and tidy. Did you know Ryobi also sells tools that can help you accomplish this task and achieve a manicured lawn and garden? This hedge trimmer kit is powered with a 40V 2Ah lithium battery, giving it more power than a 19cc gas trimmer, while also decreasing your carbon footprint. The battery isn't included, but since the trimmer is a part of the Ryobi 40V System, you may already have a compatible battery available from another Ryobi tool. The trimmer has a run time of 45 minutes and features lightweight construction to help you tackle all the bushes and hedges on your property. As you trim, the integrated Hedgesweep remover helps you clear them away effortlessly.

"I am always skeptical getting anything that is cordless and electric. But this thing was powerful! I put no effort at all when trimming my tree branches, bushes, and other vegetation back this weekend. It was very easy to use," wrote one customer in his review of the tool. The Ryobi 40V 24-Inch Hedge Trimmer Kit is available for $159, or $119 for just the tool.

Whether you're looking to clean your deck, get rid of grime and moss growing on your siding, or get that playset into tip-top condition for the kids, you might want to take a look at the Ryobi 40V HP Brushless 1200 PSI 1.0 GPM Pressure Washer. This battery-powered model makes it easy to clean all of these surfaces and more — without dealing with a power cord and needing to worry about where the nearest outlet is located. It can connect to your garden hose or can even pull water from other water sources using the included siphon hose. There are two mode options to choose from, depending on how powerful of a spray you need and how long you want to work before charging the battery.

This 40V HP Brushless 1200 PSI 1.0 GPM Pressure Washer is available for $199. If you're thinking about using it to pressure wash your home, you'll be glad to hear that it is highly rated by those who have used it. Here's what one individual had to say: "Great small footprint power washer. Found the 15 degree nozzle gentle and useful...and the turbo nozzle powerful for tougher jobs. Easy to assemble and get up and running."

If you're a crafter, you may have assumed that Ryobi doesn't offer any tools appropriate for you. However, you would be wrong to make such an assumption. The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Dual Temperature Glue Gun is a must-have for your DIY crafting needs. With two temperature settings, this glue gun is more versatile than many others on the market, making it possible to choose a lower heat setting when you're working with more delicate or sensitive materials, or a higher heat for projects that require it. The glue gun comes with 10 glue sticks and is compatible with ½-inch size sticks from other manufacturers. A few other stand-out features include the quick, two-minute heat-up time, the fold-out drip tray, and the LED indicator light to let you know when it is hot and ready to use.

The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Dual Temperature Glue Gun costs $52 on Amazon. Overall, customers are happy with its performance. One shared, "Wish I bought this sooner. Love the convenience of it being cordless. Heats up fast. Worth every penny."

A quality staple gun can come in handy for such a wide range of projects. Consider adding the Ryobi ONE+ Airstrike 18GA Narrow Crown Stapler to your tool arsenal. Unlike other staple guns that have compressors, the AirStrike technology in this stapler allows it to operate quietly. Plus, because it doesn't have a gas cartridge or hose to deal with, you'll find that it is easy to get it set up so that you're ready to get to work right away. The stapler is compatible with ⅜-inch to 1 ½-inch narrow crown staples. Each charge can allow you to dispense as many as 1,500 staples — and you can easily keep track of when more staples are needed thanks to the low staple indicator.

"I bought this for when I needed it! Well, few months later and bingo, worked great to tack down the edge of carpet and the convenience to only have to bring the one tool to my dads place to do repair [sic]. Game changer not having to haul gun, hose, compressor for 2 minutes of work. Love it," shared one customer. The Ryobi ONE+ Airstrike 18GA Narrow Crown Stapler costs $159.

The Ryobi Link Rolling Tool Box can be a great asset, whether you're looking to store tools, crafting supplies, or other essentials. The box features impact-resistant construction and offers a 200-pound capacity. Its telescoping steel handle and all-terrain wheels make it easy to move around the house — or between job sites. Beyond the large storage area, there is also a smaller, double organizer bin on the inside of the box, which is ideal for holding smaller pieces of hardware or other accessories. If you need to store a lot of tools or other supplies, you can add on other pieces from the Ryobi Link Modular Storage System, which can connect and stack on top of the tool box for easy portability.

The Ryobi Link Rolling Tool Box costs $89.98. "I bought this a couple months ago to use for transporting tools from the house to the ranch. Water tight, dust proof and rugged. Love it," wrote one individual who was happy they decided to try the rolling tool box.

Stop straining your wrist when tightening or loosening screws. Instead, try the Ryobi 4V Lithium+ Screwdriver. This battery-powered screwdriver is easy to use, with its compact size letting you get into tighter areas. Use the two-finger trigger for precise control as you tighten or loosen screws (use the forward and reverse locking switch to change the spin direction). Each purchase includes screw bits to match a variety of needs. Thanks to the ½-inch hex collet, swapping between bits (1- or 2-inch) is quick and easy. A rechargeable battery and a charger are also included to keep the tool ready for use.

You can purchase the Ryobi 4V Lithium+ Screwdriver for $19.97. Overwhelmingly, customers who have tried the screwdriver recommend it to others. One person who bought it said, "I often have a hard time with power tools because they are too heavy or too big to hold, but this power screwdriver is perfect. I love how it twists so you can get at difficult angles. It's exactly what I wanted. And cordless too!"

Whether you're completing a full bathroom remodeling project, want to caulk around the windows for better insulation, or just need to replace dry and peeling caulk around the bathtub or shower, you'll find the Ryobi 18V ONE+ Power Caulk & Adhesive Gun to be a lifesaver. This cordless, battery-powered tool delivers more than 500 pounds of push force. This means, it can easily dispense even thicker caulks and other materials without stressing your hands or fingers. You can use the variable speed selected to adjust the rate at which the caulk is dispensed. The long-lasting battery allows you to apply 200 tubes or more of caulk before it'll need to be charged again.

"We just built a house in 2023 and needed something to make caulking every piece of trim easier and faster, so we decided to buy it now. Works great, easy adjustments and hands don't get tired like a manual caulk gun. Love it," shared one Ryobi customer. If you want to give it a try, you can purchase the Ryobi 18V ONE+ Power Caulk & Adhesive Gun for $59.97.

Cleaning up after working on a DIY doesn't have to be the most dreaded part of the project. The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Hand Vacuum is designed to help you simplify this necessary task. With a dual-filter system and powerful suction, you'll be able to easily suck up saw dust, paper scraps, dirt, and so much more. Because of its handheld and cordless design, you'll find this vacuum as convenient as it is effective. It is part of the Ryobi ONE+ system, so while it doesn't come with a battery, you might have one available from your other Ryobi tools.

The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Hand Vacuum, which costs $28.97, is very highly rated by customers who have tried it. One individual said, "Hands down the best hand vacuum in this price point. If you already have tools in the Ryobi ecosystem, this purchase is a no brainer. Powerful suction and decent battery life."
