Want to buy more tools this year? Ryobi has an excellent selection of power tools, and more are on the way later this summer or in early fall. While Ryobi has released over 70 new items as of late, including several capable tools this year, the company recently highlighted several more options worth waiting for.
In the last 6 months, Ryobi has slowly released dozens of new tools and accessories, like its 3-port lithium charger and a customizable DIY workbench, but they aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Part of what makes the company so successful is its constant stream of new products. Last week, Ryobi updated its new product website with several notable items you’ll love.
Ryobi 18V Quick Connect 700 PSI Power Cleaner
Like a pressure washer, but smaller
One of the items I’m most looking forward to from Ryobi is the new 18V ONE+ Quick-Connect Power Cleaner, which is essentially a small pressure washer of sorts. Imagine having 700 PSI of cleaning pressure in a small, lightweight, easy-to-use portable handheld tool. Ryobi is no stranger to cleaning products, but this is the highest-rated handheld model yet.
Powered by one 18V ONE+ battery, this small, quick-connect tool works with a garden hose, an included water hose, bottles, and more. That way, it can truly be cordless if you don’t have a hose nearby. Connect a water source, snap in a battery, and get to work. And yes, there’s a water-resistant battery enclosure.
Whether you’re washing the car, cleaning off the patio and BBQ, or sanitizing a stinky garbage can, this little tool can do it all. Like a pressure washer, it comes with multiple nozzles and an extender. Use the turbo nozzle for tough dirt, a 15-degree nozzle for more control, or a 40-degree nozzle with delicate applications. It’ll be $129 when it arrives at your nearby Home Depot soon.
Ryobi 18V Brushless 14-inch Dethatcher / Aerator
Keep that yard looking good
When it comes to lawn care, many of us already own Ryobi’s edgers, trimmers, or even a 40V lawn mower. But if you want to have the best-looking grass in the neighborhood that looks like a golf course, it requires a little extra maintenance.
A vital tool for lawn care is a dethatcher to remove old, dead grass, and an aerator to help your lawn breathe, water deeper to the roots, and help with fertilization and pre-emergent applications. And while Ryobi already offers its powerful 18V dethatcher with a 14-inch spread for your yard, it only comes as a combo with two battery packs for over $400.
This week, the company finally announced that its 18V 14-inch Dethatcher and Aerator (P2704BTL) will be available as a bare tool, without battery packs, significantly reducing the cost. I have enough batteries, so I couldn’t justify the price, but now I’ll be getting this model as soon as it drops. In the meantime, get yourself an electric lawnmower. They’re great.

Ryobi’s 40V electric lawn mower is quiet, capable, and comes with two 40V 6Ah battery packs and a rapid charger. It’s all you need to tackle your yard.
Ryobi Microtech Electric Precision Screwdriver Kit
For electronics and small household repairs
Next up is the all-new Ryobi Microtech electronic precision screwdriver kit. This neat new kit got announced late last month and will be $50 when it arrives in the coming weeks. While this isn’t your average 18V or 40V tool, it’s still worth considering.
Ryobi’s new USB-C rechargeable electric screwdriver comes with 50+ bits and accessories, ensuring you can tackle any repair. The company specifically mentions everything from glasses and laptops to PC builds and household chores, like a light switch. The set includes precision bits, larger bits, adapters, extensions, a magnetic head, and a nice carry case, all in one package.
The precision screwdriver has a comfy anti-roll design, a built-in LED, and two speed modes, making any job or repair fast and easy.
Ryobi 40V Brushless 1000 PSI Power Cleaner
More cleaning power when you truly need it
As mentioned earlier, Ryobi has several pressure washers and older power cleaners similar to the 40V model above. However, these new models are more powerful than ever.
Those who need more cleaning power or already own several 40V battery packs will want to spring for the more capable Ryobi 40V Power Cleaner. This model offers 1000 PSI and 1.0 GPM in a small, portable package. Just like the 18V model, it comes with various nozzle attachments for specific jobs, a wand extension, multiple water source options, including a 20-ft. siphon hose. And yes, there’s a built-in battery protection box to keep things water-tight.
What makes the 40V Power Cleaner different is the higher 1000 PSI, a shoulder strap, and better battery life. Plus, there’s an ECO mode for longer runtimes when you have a bigger job. It’ll be $189 bare, or $259 with a 2.0Ah battery and charger.
New Ryobi tools that’ll be worth the wait
Keep in mind that all the products listed above are scheduled as “coming soon” and do not have exact release dates. We’re anticipating both power cleaners sometime in July, and potentially in July or early August for the other two, along with various other tools listed as coming soon.
