Ryobi’s lineup of affordable tools is so vast, some get overlooked, albeit not by the most staunch Ryobi users. These are the products they swear by.
Whether you’re searching for tools for your next DIY project or outdoor recreational products like speakers and inflators, there’s a pretty good chance that Ryobi will have what you’re looking for. The brand has steadily branched out from its core range of power tools and now sells a wide range of products for both jobsites and weekends, though with such a large range, some tools can easily get overlooked, even by fans of the brand.
Sometimes, these less popular products are brand-new releases — for example, Ryobi released a number of cool new tools through fall 2025 — but in other cases, some of Ryobi’s older products have flown mostly under the radar. However, even if they didn’t find a wide audience, some users still swear by them. We’ve trawled the depths of Home Depot’s current range to find 14 tools that are less popular than Ryobi’s bestsellers but still get consistently strong user reviews.Ryobi ONE+ 18V High Volume Inflator Kit
According to one reviewer, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V High Volume Inflator Kit is „a game changer if you have an inflatable raft and/or kayak.“ However, that’s far from the only reason it’s useful; it’ll also come in just as handy if you’re looking to inflate air beds, pool inflatables, and sports balls. Ryobi says it’s also useful as a portable jobsite blower to clear up light dirt and debris.
The inflator kit comes with a 2Ah 18-volt battery and a charger, making it a great entry point into the brand’s 18-volt One+ ecosystem for friends and family members who are new to the brand. One user who left a review at Home Depot said that they „love this compressor“, and that they „even bought a second one as a gift.“ Another notes that it „worked flawlessly and [was] very quick.“ They continue, saying that the inflator „definitely exceeded my expectations.“
Buyers at Home Depot are generally very happy with the tool and the contents of the kit, giving it an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars from more than 340 reviews at the time of writing. If you’re looking to get your own, the kit is available from the retailer for $89.97.Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless Hybrid Forced Air Propane Heater
It’s worth evaluating the pros and cons of Ryobi’s hybrid propane heater before clicking „Add to Cart.“ One of the biggest cons is that the heater can’t be used without the correct auxiliary equipment — you’ll need a long extension cord if you’re planning on using electric power, or a propane tank if you’re looking to use the heater’s gas-burning abilities. The heater also isn’t supposed to be used indoors, due to the risk of carbon monoxide buildup.
If neither of those cons put you off, then you shouldn’t find much else to dislike about the ONE+ 18V Cordless Hybrid Forced Air Propane Heater, which retails for $159. Certainly, reviewers at Home Depot are consistently impressed, giving the tool an average rating of 4.8 out of five stars from almost 700 reviews at the time of writing. One reviewer said they’d „would recommend [the heater] 10/10 times“, while another notes that they „bought this about a month ago, and I love this little heater.“ In one detailed review, a user explains that they, „serve the homeless and whoever is hungry under the tent, and with the weather getting colder now, this will be used out there every time. I would recommend this heater as a must have.“Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless Hybrid LED Tripod Stand Light
Ryobi offers a much wider range of lighting products than many fans of the brand might realize, with some of its less popular lights including the ONE+ 18V Cordless Hybrid LED Tripod Stand Light. It’s a Home Depot exclusive, and has a retail price of $139 in standalone form. Ryobi claims the light has a maximum output of 2,700 lumens and will run for up to 10 hours with a suitably capacious 18-volt battery.
Buyers have left more than 750 reviews of the light on Home Depot’s website, giving it an average score of 4.8 out of five stars. It’s not difficult to find buyers who are particularly enthusiastic about its capabilities, with a user claiming that „there is no better unit in this price range“ and a second saying that it’s „so bright you need shades.“ While the product listing notes that the light is suitable for „illuminating large workspaces“, one reviewer offered a much better comparison, saying that „this thing will light up a basketball court.“Ryobi 40V HP Brushless Bike Handle Brush Cutter
It’s rare to find a tool from Ryobi’s 40-volt line that goes under the radar, but the 40-volt HP Brushless Bike Handle Brush Cutter is one such rarity. It has only received 130 reviews on Home Depot, but has a strong average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Within those reviews are plenty of users happy to share their excitement about the tool — one said that it „cuts through brush like butter“, while another claimed that „it was described by my neighbor as „a beast“ [and] cut through vines and brush with ease.“ Another adds, „all I can say is [that it’s] the best in its class.“
The brush cutter retails for $389 and, according to Ryobi, it has a runtime of 55 minutes with a 4Ah battery. Many Ryobi power tools come with a standard three-year warranty, but the 40-volt brush cutter comes with a five-year limited warranty.Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless Glue Gun Kit
With an exceptionally high average review score of 4.9 out of five stars from around 300 reviews, the ONE+ 18-volt Cordless Glue Gun Kit is one not to miss if you’re keen on crafting projects.
