18 Ryobi Tools Every DIYer Will Want For Christmas

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

Sometimes the DIYers on your Christmas list are the easiest to shop for, and sometimes they are the hardest. A lot of it depends on how well we know the person we're shopping for. This includes knowing which cordless power tool ecosystem they use and which tools they already own. If the person you're shopping for loves Ryobi tools, then life gets a lot easier. There are so many Ryobi tools on the market; they likely don't own them all. Ryobi is a good power tool brand for home improvement needs, with over 300 tools in its collection. Since most people invested in this brand probably already have tools like drills and circular saws, this list of 18 Ryobi gift options focuses on the unique, fun, and sometimes overlooked products — the ones people might not buy for themselves but would still love to get for Christmas.

We have lots of choices here, because Ryobi offers several tool collections and a growing range of hand tools, including screwdrivers and tape measures. The 18V ONE+ system is just the beginning, as you can also choose from the powerful 40V lineup, designed for power-hungry tools like weed trimmers and chainsaws, or the Lithium USB collection, which includes everything from screwdrivers to tire inflators and glue guns. Ryobi has even unleashed an entire lineup of riding lawnmowers with 80V batteries. Although these are major purchases and unlikely to end up under the Christmas tree, they show the breadth of tools Ryobi offers.

Did someone say "combo kit"? Yes, please. Whether or not the person on your list is already invested in Ryobi tools, the brand's USB Lithium-Ion Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit is a handy choice for DIYers. Complete with batteries, this combo kit can be an entry point into the Ryobi Lithium tool lineup, which offers several smaller, compact tools for hobbyists and do-it-yourselfers. In addition to two 2 Ah batteries, this kit includes a screwdriver, cutter, clamp fan, speaker, flashlight, and an inflator for $179.

In some households, Ryobi tools show up under the tree every year. That's when you know you need to get creative — this time with another combo kit. Currently priced at $62.97, the ONE+ 18V Cordless 3-Tool Storm Combo Kit with Radio, Area Light, and Power Inverter makes a unique and affordable option. All three of these tools feature USB ports and are compatible with the 18V batteries. The kit includes a 2.0 Ah battery and charger, so you don't need to worry if the person on your list already has them.

When shopping for Ryobi tools at Christmas, you can usually find them either as kits that include batteries or as standalone tools. The ONE+ 18V Cordless Battery 1 Gal. Chemical Sprayer is an example of a kit. It's a good choice if you're looking for something DIYers don't usually have. Sprayers are handy for applying everything from herbicides and pesticides to cleaning agents and fertilizers. At $109, this model includes a battery and charger, but you could also go with the tool-only option, which comes with an extra tank, for about $91. 

From Ryobi's core lineup, the 18V ONE+ Cordless Compact Router Kit may be one Ryobi tool the fixer-upper on your list doesn't already own. You can purchase the kit for $119 (which is only $20 more than the tool-only option), and it includes a charger and a 2.0 Ah battery. With how long Ryobi batteries last, getting another battery is never a bad idea. If you're feeling really generous, you could upgrade to the Router Kit with 24-piece Bit Set for $198.97. The bit set alone costs about $90.

If you're looking for a tool in the $50 price range for the person on your list this season, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V LED Magnifying Clamp Light is something many hobbyists and DIYers would appreciate. Whether your gift recipient has a model car collection or does a lot of other close work, such as soldering components or tying fishing flies, a magnifying clamp light gives them two free hands and a better view of what they're working on. This light costs about $45, or you can get a two-pack for around $82. 

The drain auger might seem too personal to give as a gift, but if you're close to the person on your list and you know they love Ryobi tools, nothing is off the table this Christmas. Drain augers are one of those plumbing tools that every homeowner should have on hand. They can be used for all types of drains, whether that's inside the house, in the bathroom and kitchen, or outside to free up French drains and gutter downspouts. At just under $90 for the tool only, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Drain Auger is worth gifting.

There's a lot of overlap in the kinds of tools you need for some of your favorite hobbies and those DIY jobs around the house. If you know the person on your Christmas list is a DIYer, but you're not sure if they'll love the ONE+ 18V Cordless 3-Tool Hobby Kit with Compact Glue Gun, Soldering Iron, Rotary Tool, set your worries aside. This is another fun combo kit, which means more tools, and it also has another battery and charger, which any Ryobi fan will appreciate.

Just like the three-tool kit listed above, the Ryobi Hobby Station will prove useful to many DIYers. This hobby station is designed to give you more control of whatever you're working on, and it includes features like a router fence, a vacuum adapter to keep work areas clean, and a drill press with a two-inch depth. It also fits other brands of rotary tools, making it one of Ryobi's less proprietary tool options.

The Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 1600A Jump Starter with LED Work Light is one of those tools that everyone should have, but not all of us do. Keeping a jump starter in your vehicle makes practical sense, and it can really show how much you care when you give this type of gift. The work light is a bonus, especially in emergency situations, and this little jump starter packs a punch with over 20 starts from a single 2.0 Ah battery.

Last year, we listed the Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum Cleaner Kit as one of the 13 high-tech Ryobi tools that will make work in your home & garden a breeze. It's still true, since, according to the reviews, this tool has a 4.4-star rating and customers continue to find it helpful. At $199, it includes a 4.0 Ah battery (big enough to provide some suction).

Speaking of cleaning tools, Ryobi offers a range of wet/dry vacuum kits in 1, 3, 4.75, 5, and 6-gallon sizes. These would be sure to please any DIYer, since it's a messy business. During Black Friday, the ONE+ 18V Cordless 6 Gal. Wet Dry Vacuum Kit is available at Home Depot for under $200, just a bit more than the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 1 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum Kit model, priced at $149. If you want a more unique gift, choose the 5 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum Kit, which converts most five-gallon plastic buckets into a shop-vac.

Some Ryobi users love to keep their tools organized, which is probably why Ryobi developed an entire lineup of storage devices for its brand. There are a lot of fun gadget-type storage solutions for tools in this collection, and we think a great one for a Christmas gift is the Ryobi LINK Steel Lockable Tool Organizer Cabinet. Not only does the cabinet lock, but it also has a 200-pound storage capacity and four slots for the tools DIYers grab for all the time.

A power inverter for your vehicle, ATV, or boat can make life a lot easier in certain situations, allowing you to charge your phone, work on your laptop, or even watch some videos on your iPad when you're away from home or during a power outage. Ryobi offers a few different inverters or automotive power sources, priced from about $45 for the ONE+ 18V 120-Watt 12V to $199 for the 1000-Watt version. Like other emergency kits, giving these is a good way to show you care.

Some Ryobi tool owners may have overlooked the brand's ONE+ 18V 18-Gauge Cordless AirStrike Brad Nailer, although if they're really a fan, it's not likely. If you can, try to find out if the gift recipient on your list has one of these or not. If they don't, they're going to appreciate how easy it is to use, just like the customers who reviewed it on Home Depot's website. Overall, it has a 4.5-star rating out of five stars, and is ideal for many DIY projects around the home.

If you're shopping for someone you already know is collecting Ryobi's ONE+ 18V tools, then the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 10 oz. Caulk & Adhesive Gun is a good bet. It's not the most common DIY tool to have, making it a good choice at Christmas, and it's a good one to have around for remodeling projects. Priced at $79 for the tool only, this is a good gift for the DIYer on your list if you know they have a big job ahead of them that requires a lot of caulking.

Don't worry, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless Lighted Mechanic Garage Creeper Seat is not something out of a scary movie, even though "creeper seat" sounds rather ominous. This is one of those chairs that scoots around low to the ground so mechanics can get to whatever they're working on. The Ryobi creeper seat has two LED lights and can be positioned in multiple ways for more versatility when working with vehicles. This is the tool for the automotive DIYer on your Christmas shopping list.

For $159, you can introduce the handy person on your list to the 40V Ryobi lineup with the Ryobi 40V 24 in. Cordless Battery Hedge Trimmer with 2.0 Ah battery and charger. This Ryobi tool lineup is designed for heavy-duty tools like lawnmowers and weed trimmers that traditionally operated with gas-powered engines. Another option, if you want to stick with the 18V ecosystem, is to get your person the slightly smaller 22-inch hedge trimmer in that tool collection.

According to reviews, the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless High Pressure Inflator is one of the Ryobi tools that even skeptics of the brand may end up loving. This holiday season, you can literally stuff it into someone's stocking, since it's pretty compact at about 5-by-3-by-5½ inches. Priced at just under $25 for the tool alone during Home Depot's 2025 Black Friday sale, this is an easy gift decision for the DIYer on your holiday gift list. If you miss the sale, no worries — the retail price is only around $40.
