What our tester says: “During testing, the setup worked well for detailed tasks like engraving, sanding, and polishing jewelry-grade metals. The brushless motor provided consistent power and stayed cool, even through extended use.”—Glenda Taylor, Product Reviews tester and writer

Cut through wood, metal, plastic, and other materials when you equip this 14 amp circular saw with a suitable blade for the target material. The saw blade rotates at up to 15,000 RPM, but the speed can be controlled by using the variable speed trigger, so you aren’t stuck with just one speed. This circular saw has an adjustable plate, allowing you to change the angle of the cut with ease, as well as a blade guard to help keep you safe while you work.

With up to 500 pounds of push force, users who plan to caulk the doors and windows or who want to caulk the shower and tub won’t need to worry about hand fatigue. The variable speed trigger even allows you to control the pace at which the caulk or adhesive is dispensed for smooth, accurate, and clean application. Ryobi also made the caulk and adhesive gun carriage removable for easy cleaning after use, while the switch lock prevents accidental use.
Drill/Driver

Take on many different projects both inside and outside the home with this cordless drill/driver, which boasts 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 see clearly when you are drilling, even in crawlspaces and dark basements. The Ryobi fan in your home is sure to enjoy the power and convenience of this drill/driver with up to 1,750 RPM and an included battery and charger.
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

Drive up to 5,500 staples on a single charge when you equip the Ryobi cordless crown stapler with a 4 Ah Lithium+ battery. This stapler is ideal for putting up plastic sheeting in the attic, affixing screens, or mounting wires, thanks to the included screen/wire attachment, which helps users guide the staples without penetrating or damaging wire or screen. Additionally, you can control the depth you drive the staples with the adjustable knob for improved accuracy.
Angle Grinder

Offering up to 6,500 RPM to ensure you have the power necessary for most jobs, this corded 10 Amp angle grinder is well suited for plumbing, tile work, and more. The angle grinder has a variable speed control paddle that is easy to grip and release, as well as a secondary handle to better control the angle grinder while you work. You can also take advantage of the lock-on button, which keeps the angle grinder running at the current speed so that you can pay more attention to the task at hand, rather than needing to spare some focus to control the speed of the grinding disc.
Cordless Ratchet

Instead of straining and sweating on a tough nut or bolt, use this Ryobi ratchet to produce up to 35 ft-lbs of torque at the press of a button, or rather that variable speed metal paddle trigger. The ratchet works with all 18V ONE+ batteries, making it a great choice for a Ryobi fan, and it even has dual on-board LED worklights so that you can see into dark crevices and gaps to ensure the ratchet is properly positioned.
What our tester says: “Sometimes that nut or bolt is just slightly out of reach and swinging a large breaker bar might not be feasible. For those situations, consider the Ryobi 18V Ratchet. This ratchet features a neck that rotates 360 degrees, snapping into one of four positions along the way.”—Tom Scalisi, Product Reviews tester and writer
Cut-Out Tool Kit

The motor of this Ryobi cut-out tool produces up to 28,000 RPM, while the included battery allows the tool to make over 190 cuts per charge, so you can make fast, precise cuts in drywall, tiles, cement board, and more. This powerful cordless tool accepts both ⅛-inch and ¼-inch bits and has a lock-on switch for continuous cutting. Additionally, you can use the on-board LED worklight for enhanced visibility, as well as the tool-free depth adjustment for better control and accuracy while you work.
Glue Gun Kit

The high-temp glue gun will take just 3 minutes to heat up and can be used for about 5 minutes continuously before the glue gun needs to be placed back on the battery-operated heating stand. With a full battery, the heating stand can provide continuous heat for up to 2 hours, giving you the ease and convenience of a long-lasting cordless glue gun, while keeping the actual glue gun quite small and easy to handle. Simply pick it up, apply a bead of glue, then put it back on the stand until you need to use it again.
What our tester says: “What makes it different is the stand, which connects directly to an 18-volt battery and provides the power to heat the compact and lightweight gun for use. Once the glue gun gets too cool to melt the glue stick, you simply place it back on the stand for another few minutes to get it hot again.”—Michelle Larson, Product Reviews tester and writer
Random Orbit Sander

Ideal for both control and comfort, this cordless random orbit sander features 40 percent reduced vibration and multiple grip zones, making it an excellent choice for woodworkers. The sander also has an onboard dust collection system, and it can orbit at up to 10,000 orbits per minute (OPM). When the current sheet of sandpaper is done, you can quickly switch it out by taking advantage of the simple hook and loop sanding pad base, rather than needing to constantly undo and retighten fasteners any time you need to switch to a new sheet of sandpaper, offering convenience and efficiency to any woodworking project.
