What You Need To Know Before Buying Ryobi's Cute Mini-Tool Keychains At Home Depot

It's in our nature to love tiny things. Miniature animals, tiny cupcakes, Smart Cars — we can't help but think "Awwwww" when we see something that is "fun-sized" and feel some primal instinct to collect and protect. While construction workers and trade professionals may have thought themselves impervious to this phenomenon, the day has come for all tool fanatics to be targeted by capitalism's strongest sales tactic — cuteness. Okay, that may be a bit hyperbolic, but once you get a look at this Ryobi Mini Key Chain Set, don't be surprised if you black out and end up clicking "buy now" — when they're in stock, that is. This popular keychain set has already sold out once from Home Depot.  

What's included for the $20 price tag? You get five mini models of some of the most essential power tools for first-time homeowners, including a drill, battery pack, sander, stick vacuum, and reciprocating saw. Now, it would be amazing if these tiny tools actually were functional, but, alas, they are for decorative purposes only. That said, they are made from 100% recycled plastic, so you don't have to fret over your footprint when grabbing these neat accessories. If you are on the hunt for any of this equipment in its full sized form, though, it's good to know which Ryobi tools are not worth your time and money. 

Besides the fact that it's already sold out, a telling sign of this set's value is the nearly perfect 4.9/5 stars it has earned from Home Depot's customers. Reviewers noted that they were happy with the quality (with one specifically mentioning that they were true to scale) and thought the tiny tools were adorable. Some were disappointed they had to purchase the entire set and couldn't buy just one. That said, sharing is caring, so if you do end up purchasing it, there is no reason why you can't keep one or two of your favorites and spread the love to your fellow DIYers and expert builders.

One customer even wanted to re-purchase the set because they were so pleased with it. "These keychains are the best and so fun," they wrote. "They are very good quality and don't seem like the paint or anything is going to wear off." Another customer mentioned that their only disappointment was that this set didn't come with the mower, which (alongside other Ryobi mini tools like a circular saw and leaf blower) was available separately but is not currently for sale in the United States. Nevertheless, while you can find several top-rated Ryobi tools and products for under $50, this low-cost accessory set might be the best deal of the bunch and a great start to a fun new collection.
