Manufacturer: Ryobi

Often when we tackle RYOBI tool reviews we suffer a backlash from Pros. Yet, we see professional tradesmen using RYOBI tools on the job site every day. When we do hands-on field testing we find that while RYOBI underperforms some of the top brands, they offer an incredible value. Pros appreciate tools like the Ryobi 18V brushless impact driver. It provides plenty of power for most tasks and costs just $99 for the bare tool. RYOBI also makes some of the handiest and creative tools we’ve seen on the market—all of which work on the RYOBI ONE+ platform. Great examples include the Ryobi Devour cordless sweeper and the Ryobi cordless shop vac. RYOBI Tool Reviews – Fit for Pros The Ryobi tool reviews listed below cover the gamut from drills, drivers, and kits to specialty tools like the Ryobi cordless pin nailer.

Ryobi RP4700 Tek4 4V Charger Review

by Clint DeBoer

The RP4700 is the definite weak link in the Tek4 line of tools. This is the charger that comes with each of the battery-wielding tools (save the LED Flashlight and USB Portable Power Source). While small and convenient, the charger takes FIVE HOURS to charge a completely spent battery. Seriously? In what universe does it take 5 hours to charge a 4V Li-ion battery? Of the 12V and 18V tools we use the longest charge time we’ve seen is 60 minutes, and most 12V tools get done in around 30-40. There is really nothing to say about this charger except that if this is what it took to get Energy Star certification, then I think “going green” should only apply to the color of these tools.

Ryobi Tek4 4V Cordless Tools Reviewed

by Clint DeBoer

Ryobi’s new Tek4 line of 4V lithium-ion products spans a range from measurement to safety to portable power backup. All tools share the same 4V rechargeable power source and sport an industrial look with Ryobi’s new signature green color adorning each of the dark-gray colored tools as trim. Since all of the new Tek4 tools use the same li-ion 4V battery (AP4001), delivering over 200 charges and longer-life than what you can get with standard Alkalines.

Ryobi RJ162VK Reciprocating Saw Review

by Clint DeBoer

The Ryobi RJ162VK is a sensible 6.5 amp reciprocating saw that is perfect for the handyman or do-it-yourselfer who doesn’t require oodles of power and who isn’t planning on doing tons of demo work. Its very reasonable street price makes it one of the more handy “gotta-have-it” tools we recommend for anyone who plans on doing any type of projects around the home.

Ryobi HPL51K Review 3-1/4″ Electric Hand Planer

by Clint DeBoer

The Ryobi HPL51K electric hand planer is a budget tool that includes some very nice features such as a left/right dust ejection dial, adjustable depth knob and blade-protecting kick stand. This tool really enables easy planning of uneven surfaces – up to 3/32″ in a single cut – and even performs edge and rabbet cuts with the included edge guide.
