A Ryobi drill doesn’t just have to be used for regular labor, with the right attachments the power tool can become a multi-purpose cleaning device.
A power drill has three primary purposes: driving in fasteners, pulling them back out, and making holes in things. It’s definitely not a bad tool to have around the house, especially if you’re regularly engaged in some manner of handiwork. As far as consistent mundane uses go, though, you probably wouldn’t use a power drill on a regular, casual basis if you’re not a day laborer.
However, while drilling fasteners in and out is a power drill’s main purpose, that’s not all it has going for it. For instance, if you’re using a Ryobi-branded drill, there’s actually a lot of untapped potential in that gizmo as a cleaning implement. Obviously, sticking in a rotating metal bit won’t do much to clean your windows, but if you swap the bit out with various cleaning brush accessories, you can put that drill’s muscle to more practical uses. Ryobi sells a handful of different cleaning brushes intended primarily for its cleaning-specific tools, but thanks to their special connections, these brushes can also work with your regular Ryobi power drill.Clean light materials with the Soft Bristle Brush kit
It’s a well-known fact that you can’t use the same kind of brushes or cleaning tools on all kinds of materials. If you tried to clean up your house’s windows with a hard-bristled brush, for example, you might get a bit of cleaning done, but you’ll also get a lot of permanent scratches and damage. Different jobs necessitate different tools, and if you want to use a Ryobi power drill to clean lighter materials, that’s a job for the Soft Bristle Brush kit.
This duo of hex shank-attaching scrub brushes can plug right into your Ryobi power drill, the same way you would plug in a regular hex shank drill bit. Squeeze that trigger, and you’ve got powerful, yet gentle rotational action, perfect for cleaning plastic decorations, outdoor furniture, laminate floors, and glass windows. The wider brush is good for regular work, while the narrower brush is good for reaching into tight spots. Once you’re done cleaning, both of these brushes are safe to clean in the top rack of your dishwasher.
