New Ryobi Tool Announcements: 5 Releases Worth a Look for Platform Owners

Introduction

Ryobi keeps expanding faster than almost any other cordless platform, and this latest batch of announcements is a good snapshot of where the brand is heading: more use out of the 80V battery line, better small-part organization, and affordable accessories that fill real gaps. Here are five new releases worth knowing about, along with the trade-offs to check before buying.

Ryobi 80V 1000W Power Source Inverter

This is the headline announcement, and the one with the most interesting positioning. Ryobi already runs an 80V battery line for its riding mowers and walk-behind mowers, and this new inverter finally puts those big batteries to work as a portable power source. It docks on top of an 80V battery and delivers 1,800 starting watts and 1,000 running watts.

Port selection includes two 120V outlets, two USB-A ports, and one USB-C port. It is pure sine wave, so it will not fluctuate in power and will not damage sensitive electronics like phones or laptops. Ryobi says it can run TVs, lights, refrigerators, and freezers, which makes it genuinely useful during a power outage. The battery handle doubles as a carry handle for the whole unit.

The inverter itself has an MSRP of $279, but the catch is the battery platform. If you do not already own 80V batteries, you are looking at roughly $900 to get a battery plus the inverter. That is a steep entry point for a backup power unit. For anyone already deep in the 80V ecosystem with mower batteries on the shelf, though, the math changes completely, and it opens the door to things like a snowblower or other higher-power 80V tools down the road.

One practical note: two USB-A ports versus one USB-C feels backwards in 2026, and more USB-C ports would have been welcome. Still, for campsites, tailgating, and outages, it covers the portable power needs well.

Ryobi 52-Piece Impact Driving Kit

Organization is the theme here. This 52-piece impact driving set is designed to attach to the Ryobi LINK wall storage system, so it hangs neatly alongside your other LINK-mounted gear rather than living in a drawer. The bits themselves include diamond grit options, which are tougher than standard bits and should hold up better on stubborn fasteners.

At $20 for the full set, the price is hard to argue with. We have not tested long-term durability, so treat the diamond grit claim as a reason to try it rather than a guarantee, but for the price this is an easy add-on for anyone building out a Ryobi LINK wall.

Ryobi 38-Piece Precision Screwdriver Set

Small precision sets like this get used constantly around the house, and Ryobi’s 38-piece version follows a format many brands offer: a slim precision handle with a spread of tiny bits for electronics, appliances, and other fine work.

There is no standout price figure to report for this one, but if you already reach for a precision set weekly, it is worth checking availability and comparing bit selection against what you currently own before adding it to the collection.

Ryobi Scissors

Ryobi also refreshed its scissors lineup with two styles. The straight pair runs about $14 ($13.97 listed) and handled cutting tasks well in use, cutting through string without issue. The curved pair comes in at $6.97, noticeably cheaper than the straight version, which is a bit of a reversal if you assumed the fancier shape would cost more.

These are simple, inexpensive add-ons, and honestly the lower price on the curved pair makes it easy to justify trying both. Neither is a headline purchase, but for trimming twine, packaging, and light yard string work, they earn their spot in a tool bag.

Ryobi Lawn Stripper

If you have ever admired the crisp checkerboard lines on a well-kept lawn, this is the accessory that makes them possible. The 20 to 21 inch lawn mower stripper attaches to a compatible mower and uses weight to bend grass blades in opposite directions as you pass, which is what creates the stripe pattern. It can be filled with water or sand, weighing up to 25 pounds.

At $99 it undercuts the DIY route on convenience, since plenty of people build similar strippers from PVC tube and fill them with sand to save money. If you would rather not fabricate anything, this is the cleaner path to a striped yard.

The one thing to confirm before buying is compatibility with your specific mower and whether filling and attaching it is straightforward on your deck. For neighbors who care about lawn presentation, though, this is the kind of accessory that gets noticed immediately.

Buying Advice

The inverter only makes sense if you are already committed to Ryobi’s 80V mower line, since buying a battery just to power it pushes the total near $900. The smaller items are the opposite: the driving kit at $20, the curved scissors under $7, and the lawn stripper at $99 are low-risk purchases that solve specific problems. Match each to an actual need and the value holds up.

Conclusion

Ryobi’s continued platform expansion keeps giving existing owners more reasons to stay, and this batch is no exception. The 80V power source is the most consequential release for mower owners, while the small accessories round out the ecosystem at prices that are easy to say yes to.
