Lawn Tools
All the tools you would need in your yard or lawn to take care of it year round.
I currently own this lawn mower. It for sure gets the job done, but I am looking to upgrade to something with a little more oomf since I often let my lawn get too long.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V 13 in. Cordless Battery Walk Behind Push Lawn Mower (Tool Only) P1108BTL
This is the one that I would like to upgrade to. I think the 40v line is great and this would more than get the job done.
RYOBI 40V HP Brushless 20 in. Cordless Battery Walk Behind Push Lawn Mower with 6.0 Ah Battery and Charger RY40HPLM06K
I've owned this trimmer for a few years and don't have any complaints about it. I recently upgraded to a 40v trimmer that I love more, but this was a great starting point for batteries that I already owned.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V 13 in. Cordless Battery String Trimmer/Edger (Tool Only) P20018BTL
This is what I upgraded to and I love this one as well. It has quite a bit of power and I don't have any complaints about it.
RYOBI 40V 15 in. Expand-It Cordless Battery Attachment Capable String Trimmer & Brush-Cutter with 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger RY40ST01K-RYBRC
This was the first blower that I bought for my yard and I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon as long as its working.
RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless 130 MPH 510 CFM Leaf Blower (Tool Only) PBLLB01B
I'd replace my current one with this one if it were to stop working. I already have a 40v battery so I wouldn't NEED to buy another one unless I planned on doing a lot of work.
RYOBI 40V HP Brushless Whisper Series 180 MPH 800 CFM Cordless Battery Leaf Blower (Tool Only) RY40HPLB01B
Vacuum
Tools to help you keep your garage/workshop clean and ready to keep working.
I own the older version of this vacuum and I love it. It is perfect for taking out to the car and cleaning up after your kids.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V LINK Cordless 3 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool Only) PCL734B
A nice step up for a vacuum, this one comes on wheels so you can pull it around with you as you work with it.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless 6 Gal. Wet Dry Vacuum (Tool Only) PCL735B
I think this is a genius product for someone who doesn't have a ton of room for a full shopvac. You can just hook it on top of a bucket and that becomes the vacuum body.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless 5 Gal. Bucket Top Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool Only) with 1/4 in. Hose and Crevice Tool PCL732B
Fan
Keep yourself nice and cool during the summer
I own this fan and love it when it is hot outside you can pop it on top of a bucket full of water (or plug into a hose) and it will keep you even cooler with a nice mist.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless 7-1/2 in. Bucket Top Misting Fan (Tool Only) PCL851B
A nice upgrade for a larger fan that would move quite a bit more air for you.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Hybrid WHISPER SERIES 14 in. Air Cannon Fan (Tool Only) PCL813B
Cleaning
Along with the vacuums you gotta keep everything nice and squeaky clean.
I own the previous model of this one and have used it for years. I am jealous that this one is on wheels and is easier to move around than mine.
RYOBI 1900 PSI 1.2 GPM Cold Water Wheeled Corded Electric Pressure Washer RY1419MT
I'd maybe upgrade to this one if I am in the market for a new pressure washer. It has a little more power and is also on wheels to pull around with you.
RYOBI 2100 PSI 1.2 GPM Cold Water Corded Electric Pressure Washer with Foamer RY142012
