If you have any fall home maintenance or DIY projects to tackle, Labor Day sales are an excellent time to shop for tools. Ryobi is a solid DIY brand because their 18-volt batteries are compatible with over 300 cordless tools and the batteries last a long time before needing to be replaced. Here are some worthwhile Labor Day deals on Ryobi cordless tools at Home Depot.
This Ryobi cordless circular saw is 48% off
A circular saw is a necessary tool for most DIY woodworking and repair projects. You can use it to cut materials like plywood and two by fours. Having a portable circular saw is especially useful if you don’t have a table saw because you can use it to make long, straight cuts.
The Ryobi 18-volt 7 ¼-inch circular saw is on sale for $139, 48% off its regular price. The saw comes with an 18-volt, 4-amp-hour battery. This saw has an attachment port for a shop vac or dust collection system, which can be used to control dust for safety as well as an easier cleanup.
This Ryobi angle grinder is 60% off
An angle grinder can be used for cutting or grinding metal for DIY projects; you can use it to shape hardware or to cut off the ends of screws or nails that stick through your material. For any DIY projects that involve metalworking, an angle grinder is an essential tool.
The Ryobi 18-volt angle grinder is now $99, 60% off its regular price. It comes with an 18-volt, 4-amp-hour battery. This grinder can make up to 210 cuts per charge on one battery so you’ll be able to get a lot done on a single charge. I use an angle grinder to nip off the ends of screws if they go too far through my joints and poke out.
An oscillating multitool is the most versatile tool in your cordless tool set; you can use it for cutting wood, PVC, metal, drywall, and more. You can get a variety of blades for cutting different materials and you can also swap out attachments for sanding and polishing.
This Ryobi driver set is 69% off
A good quality cordless driver is an essential component of a DIY kit—you’ll need it for driving screws or drilling holes. For anything from fence repair to hanging a flat screen TV, a driver will be indispensable.
The Ryobi 18-volt ¼-inch driver tool is on sale for $49.97, 69% off its typical price. This tool comes with an 18-volt battery and a charger. This is a good tool for a beginner DIY kit or for a home maintenance tool set. Because of its light weight design, it isn’t as powerful as an impact driver, so it isn’t recommended for heavier and denser materials like hardwoods or plaster.
