New RYOBI Tools That Are Great For Tackling Home Renovations In 2025

Whether you're revamping an outdated kitchen or installing new furniture in your space, having the right set of tools is essential for any smooth renovation project. Ryobi's latest lineup for 2025 introduces a range of power tools that streamline the home renovation process, making it easier than ever to customize your space. With options ranging from chainsaws to portable workbenches, there is certainly a Ryobi tool for every homeowner. Regardless of the project, the tools' reliability and user-friendly features make them a top pick for just about any task your home may throw at them.

One of the standout features of the Ryobi 18V One+ series is the battery compatibility across tools. The Ryobi 18V One+ battery powers over 300 tools across a wide range of categories, from traditional tools like drills to your handheld vacuum cleaner. The batteries are backward and forward compatible, meaning any previously purchased batteries are still functional using newer tools that you might acquire. With the purchase of a single kit, which includes a battery and charger, you can power a wide range of Ryobi tools that make any project around your home just that much easier. Whether you're a professional or just starting out your tool collection, you cannot go wrong with the Ryobi 18V One+ collection. 

High on the list of tools that every homeowner should have is a reliable, high-quality drill for tasks like securing drywall, installing cabinets, or repairing and replacing furniture. Designed for beginners and experienced DIYers, the Ryobi 18V One+ HP Compact Brushless 1/2-Inch Drill/Driver Kit is the perfect addition to any home renovation. Its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to move around your space, allowing you to tackle problems in even the smallest areas of your home. And with an onboard LED light, you won't need to worry about holding a flashlight in the process. The drill comes with a range of features that optimize its use in your renovation projects, from a brushless two-speed motor to a high-performance lithium battery.

The Ryobi Drill/Driver Kit costs $129 but is equipped with everything you'll need out of a quality drill, including the drill itself, an 18V One+ 1.5AH lithium battery, and a compatible charger. The battery is compatible with other 18V One+ products on this list, making it a great gift for homeowners just starting out their tool collection or a reliable addition to an existing tool bag. One reviewer states, "I've used both the drill and the impact driver and both have performed very well. They are lightweight yet powerful." Pair it with the Ryobi 50 Piece Driving Set at under $13 and you have everything you need to tackle any home renovation project.

Home renovations are nothing without a little demolition work. A must-have tool for many projects is a reciprocating saw, allowing you to efficiently slice through drywall and other tough materials. The Ryobi 18V One+ HP Compact Brushless One-Handed Reciprocating Saw Kit comes with everything a homeowner should need for a bit of light demolition. Similar to the other kits, the saw can be purchased with a battery and charger or as a standalone tool. Its one-handed functionality provides for additional control when working with a moving saw.

The Ryobi 18V One+ HP Compact Brushless One-Handed Reciprocating Saw Kit costs $140 for the kit and $120 for the tool by itself. It comes with a whole host of different features, ranging from an on-board LED light to an easy release button for switching out your blades. Although you might be inclined to stay away from one-handed saws, reviews state that it is actually a major appeal of the brand. One user suggests that it is a "great one-handed saw. Excellent for light to medium metal as well as pruning. Great addition to my tool set." Another user simply says that the saw is "lightweight, powerful, and convenient." It is a worthwhile investment for homeowners doing intensive demolition work during a renovation or those who need a stronger pruning tool for overgrown hedges and trees.

When it comes to purchasing tools for your home renovation, you probably haven't considered buying a heat gun. Although it might seem like an unconventional pick, certain projects can require a bit of targeted heat, whether you need an easy way to strip outdated cabinets of paint and vinyl finishings or to install heat-shrinking tubing. The Ryobi 18V One+ Heat Pen provides a lightweight, portable solution for these applications. With dual temperature settings of 450 degrees and 750 degrees, the pen allows for easy control over the heat output, ensuring you don't damage your furniture or finishings in the process.

The Ryobi 18V One+ Heat Pen Kit comes with everything that you'll need for any heat gun application, including the pen, a 2AH lithium battery, a stand, and a charger. It also comes with two different nozzles – a deflector and a spreader — that provide further control over the heat from your pen. The complete kit will run you just under $100, or you can purchase the standalone pen for $45. The battery is compatible with other 18V One tools, so the kit is a worthwhile investment if you're bulking up your tool collection.

If your home renovation includes a bit of landscaping, you might be in the market for the perfect chainsaw to tackle lush and overgrown greenery around your yard. Luckily, Ryobi's new 18V One+ 6-Inch Pruning Chainsaw Kit comes with everything you need to tackle thick branches without requiring a massive, cumbersome power tool. It's perfect for trimming overgrown branches, cutting through small logs for firewood, and even preparing wood for DIY projects. Despite its compact size, this chainsaw packs a surprising punch, complete with a 6-inch blade that makes outdoor work that much easier.

The Ryobi Pruning Chainsaw is set apart from other tools by its compact size and user-friendly features. Similar to the other sets on this list, the kit is also equipped with an 18V One+ Battery, making it another prime option for compatibility. The entire set will cost $129, with the tool itself running you about $99. On a full battery, the saw can make up to 50 cuts before needing to be recharged, tackling up to 4-inch-thick branches in the process. One reviewer highlights its ability to cut low-hanging branches, stating it "cuts well above its weight. Nice little saw, [I] was able to climb a tree larger than I thought possible." Despite its size, the Ryobi chainsaw packs a surprising punch when it comes to outdoor renovation projects, so it might be time to add one to your arsenal.

No home renovation project is complete without a designated spot for all of your work, whether a small outdoor bench or a large garage setup. You could create a DIY folding wooden workbench to save space in your garage, but with the release of the Ryobi Speed Bench Mobile Workstation, stationary benches are a thing of the past. It revolutionizes your space but serves two purposes during renovations — it acts as a compact workbench and a portable dolly or hand truck. With multiple functions, it brings a bit of ease to your projects, allowing you to easily transition supplies between indoor and outdoor spaces. Once you have all your supplies, simply transform it into a workbench to continue your desired project, from cutting wooden planks to piecing together furniture.

The Ryobi Speed Bench Mobile Workstation is an effective addition to any home renovation project because it tackles two important needs — workspace and transportation. In the workbench design, the station can hold a weight capacity of 400 pounds and 300 pounds as a hand truck. It is also compatible with Ryobi's Link Modular Storage system, allowing you to customize the workbench as necessary with accessories like storage bins, hooks, and drawers. For $199, your workspace can take on a completely new feel. Reviewers love the stability of the bench, stating, "The stability and strength of this workstation surpassed my expectations! This is heavy and heavy duty!!" With a number of uses around your space, the Ryobi Speed Bench seems to be a worthwhile addition to any home renovation.
