There’s always a reason to have an inventory of tools at your disposal at home. You never know when you might need one, especially if you’re a homeowner. Even if you aren’t, you probably can hang a picture or tighten a screw wherever you live.
I’m not talking about never using a screwdriver or a hammer because those are pretty much necessary for any adult. But I can certainly understand if you don’t want to buy a miter saw or an angle grinder. There are some tools that everybody should own and Ryobi has plenty of them. Here are some that you might not think of that are a necessity.
A cordless driver can be used for so much
It’s worth buying one and then expanding the set as needed
Even if you don’t want a massive tool inventory, getting a cordless driver like the Ryobi ONE+ Cordless 1/4-Inch Impact Driver is a smart decision because you can use it for all kinds of projects. While you can certainly use it to build a DIY project, it is just as useful for many other projects.
There are many reasons why you might want to have an electric screwdriver or a drill all in one. You can put together some furniture with the driver bits that either come with the set or you buy separately. The fact that you can use this as a drill or a driver by just swapping out the bits makes it endlessly useful.
Even if you aren’t building shelves, adding an addition yourself, or building a workbench in your garage, you can still find use for something of this nature. It’s a compact driver that utilizes the ONE+ battery system, meaning you can use this battery pack with many other cordless Ryobi tools as well. It comes with its own carrying kit, so you don’t even have to find a space on that workbench you didn’t build on it to store it.
Bring the power with you with an inverter
You should always have a backup
Speaking of cordless devices, because they don’t have the ability to be plugged into outlets, you have to keep the battery packs charged up. If you don’t, you’ll need to find a way to bring the outlets with you. Luckily, there’s the Ryobi 18V 150W Power Source.
This power inverter helps you find power where there isn’t any. That’s because you can plug an AC plug and two USB-A plugs into it. Any 18V battery will work with this source.
You can either power the devices while they are plugged into this, essentially turning them into corded devices, or just charge the packs when they aren’t in use. You also don’t have to use only Ryobi tools with this, as you can power all kinds of devices, such as your phones, tablets, computers, and more.
This is one of Ryobi’s best because it’s ideal for camping, road trips, car rides, and more. It’s not a bad idea at all to have something like this in case of an emergency or a power outage. There is also an LED task light built into it, so you can see what’s going on around the inverter.

A work light can help you out in a pinch
It can illuminate whatever you’re doing
A tripod light like the Ryobi Hybrid Tri-Power Tripod Light comes in handy for pretty much anyone who might own one. That’s because anybody can find a use for it. You don’t have to be doing some kind of DIY project to use one.
While it is perfect for illuminating a room while you’re painting or lighting up a dark area of a garage or basement if you’re doing work, there are plenty of other uses for it. You can use it when you’re hosting a party outdoors and want to keep the part going late at night. You can also hang it from a porch or deck to give you a spotlight.
This power inverter helps you find power where there isn’t any.
The tripod itself is compatible with most Ryobi 18V recreation products, so you don’t only have to use it with the light. The light provides 3,800 lumens and is detachable, providing 360° of coverage.
You can plug this in via extension cord or power it with 18V One+ batteries or a 40V battery. It can run for over 25 hours straight. What I love the most about this is that it stores easily, as the legs detachable and fold up.
A misting fan can keep you cool wherever you are
It’s so clutch all times of the year
Listen: Ryobi makes gadgets too, not just tools. I have a clip-on fan that is supposed to be for a job site, but we used it on my son’s stroller in the summer. Strapping that to the bar made sure that he was as cool as possible on trips to the zoo, amusement parks, and more.
Another great option is the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Bucket Top Misting Fan. It moves 840 feet of air in a minute and can provide misting coverage for up to 14 feet. This means you’ll get some lovely spray any time it’s hot and humid out.
Putting it on top of a bucket filled with water can provide you with the coolness you’re searching for. This can be used outside, inside, on road trips, while working, and while relaxing. You don’t need a specific use to buy a simple misting fan. Just knowing that it will keep you cool should be enough.
It comes with a standard 0.3mm nozzle, which can provide a slightly larger spray if that’s what you’re looking for. You can swap out the nozzle for a smaller one to give you a more consistent mist. Bring it with you by the pool, to the beach, and more.
Ryobi makes all kinds of tools for all kinds of occasions
I, like many people, believe in the Ryobi ONE+ battery system for cordless tools. It is a consistent set that provides you with all kinds of use cases. You don’t have to use these kinds of tools all over your home, as there are plenty of ways to bring them with you to use them out in the world. Ryobi makes their tools as helpful as you might hope for a quality price.
