The Newest Ryobi Tools Worth Knowing About: 10 Releases Across the Lineup

Introduction

Ryobi releases a huge volume of new products every year, spanning power tools, outdoor equipment, and lifestyle gear. This roundup collects ten of the newest additions worth a closer look, with prices and key specs so you can decide which ones fit your setup.

Portable Power: Ryobi 80V 1000W Power Source

The Ryobi RY80BG2 is a new power source that runs directly off a suitcase-style 80V battery, delivering 1,000 running watts and 1,800 startup watts wherever you need them. It uses pure sine wave technology, so it is safe for sensitive electronics like laptops and other devices. While the 80V backpack-style battery is unlikely to be bought on its own, it already powers Ryobi’s 80V lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers, so owners of those machines have effectively unlimited runtime to tap into.

It is priced at $279 for the bare tool, and you supply your own 80V battery.

Compact Driving: Ryobi Compact Screwdriver

Not every job needs a full drill. The PCL212 compact screwdriver is aimed at furniture assembly and odd jobs around the house, with a top speed of 600 RPM, a variable speed trigger, and torque up to 135 in-lbs. At just 2.5 pounds with the battery, it is easy to keep on hand for quick tasks.

The kit, which includes a 1.5Ah battery and charger, runs about $60.

Storm Cleanup Power: Ryobi 40V HP Brushless 18-Inch Chainsaw

The RY40HPCW1 is Ryobi’s most powerful 40V chainsaw yet, delivering 40cc gas-equivalent performance with an 18-inch bar and chain. That is enough to technically cut trees up to 32 inches in diameter, making it well suited to felling and limbing work. A premium full-chisel chain delivers longer runtimes and faster cutting than previous models, and with the included 6Ah battery Ryobi claims up to 90 cuts on a single charge.

It costs $279 as a bare tool, or $379 as a kit with the 6Ah battery and charger.

Precision Fastening: Ryobi Pin Nailer

The PCL310 is the most compact pin nailer Ryobi has released, coming in 10% lighter than the previous version. It fires up to 1,000 half-inch to 1-3/8-inch pin nails per charge and gives you the benefits of a nailer without a noisy compressor or hoses. It is priced at $159 for the bare tool, or $189 as a kit with a 2Ah battery and charger.

Worksite Flexibility: Ryobi Speed Bench Mobile Workstation

The STM202 Speed Bench is a genuinely clever two-in-one: it transforms from a hand-truck-style cart into a workbench in one fluid motion. The 42 x 22 inch work surface supports up to 400 pounds in bench configuration, and a 19-inch skid plate plus 10-inch all-terrain wheels help it handle job site bumps on the way there.

It is available for $199.

Quietest Blowing: Ryobi One+ HP Brushless 510 CFM Blower

On the 18V One+ side, the HP Brushless 510 CFM blower is the most powerful blower on that platform, moving up to 510 CFM of airflow, on par with roughly a 24cc gas blower. As part of Ryobi’s Whisper Series, it runs up to 85% quieter than gas equivalents. Pricing is $149 for the bare tool and $249 for the kit with a 6Ah battery and charger.

Brush Cutting and Trimming in One: Ryobi 40V HP Brushless Brush Cutter

The RY40HPBC01 transforms between a brush cutter with a 10-inch tri-arc blade and a string trimmer with a 15-inch cutting swath. Using the included 6Ah battery, expect runtimes of around 85 minutes per charge in ideal conditions. Two speed modes and a variable speed trigger let you match output to the task. It is priced at $389.

Simple Leveling: Ryobi Laser Level

The ELL10004 is not Ryobi’s first laser level, but it covers the basics well for home improvement projects like hanging shelves or mounting photos. It projects over a 20-foot range with angles from 0 to 45 degrees in both directions, and integrated horizontal and vertical bubble levels help confirm accurate readings in various orientations. It is lightweight and runs on a pair of AAA batteries, priced at $39.97.

Wet and Dry in One: Ryobi 18V Swift Clean Wet Dry Stick Vacuum

Ryobi’s first stick vacuum with Swift Clean technology handles both wet and dry messes, which is handy for households with kids or pets. Dual tanks keep clean and dirty water separated, and a self-cleaning mode flushes the vacuum with clean water to simplify maintenance. It is designed for sealed hard floors such as tile or LVP, offers a 10-inch cleaning width, and works with all Ryobi 18V batteries.

The kit includes cleaning formula, two roller bars, two filters, and a self-cleaning stand. Pricing is $329 for the tool, or $379 for the kit with a 4Ah battery and charger.

Light-Duty Cleaning: Ryobi 40V Pressure Washer

The RY40HPPPW2 is the third battery-powered pressure washer in Ryobi’s lineup and also the smallest, delivering up to 1,200 PSI and 1 gallon per minute. That makes it ideal for light to medium duty tasks like washing a car or golf cart and cleaning grime off outdoor surfaces, where a larger unit would be overkill. With Ryobi’s 12Ah battery, which we recommend for this tool, you can expect up to 40 minutes of runtime. It comes with three nozzles: a 15-degree, a turbo nozzle, and a soap nozzle. The price is $199.

Buying Advice

Match the platform to what you already own. 18V One+ users get the most value from the screwdriver, blower, pin nailer, and stick vacuum, while 40V owners benefit most from the chainsaw, brush cutter, and pressure washer. The 80V power source only makes sense if you already run one of Ryobi’s 80V riding mowers, and the laser level and Speed Bench work for anyone regardless of battery platform.

Conclusion

This batch of Ryobi releases covers an unusually wide range, from hurricane-season cleanup gear to household cleaning. The standout picks depend on your needs: the 18-inch chainsaw for serious yard work, the Swift Clean vacuum for everyday messes, and the Speed Bench for anyone who moves equipment between jobs. Check prices at your local retailer, as kit and bare tool options can shift the value considerably.
