Over the past years, I’ve built most of my garage setup around Ryobi tools. Not because they’re the most expensive – but because they work. Reliable, affordable, and built around one simple battery system.
This page is your starting point. Whether you’re working on cars, just getting into DIY, or looking for the right tools – here are my full setups and recommendations.
ONE+ battery system
good value for money
wide range of tools
reliable for real-world use
I didn’t plan to stick with Ryobi – but over time, it just made the most sense.
Yes – especially for DIY, garage work, and most car projects. They offer a great balance between price and performance, and I’ve been using them for years without issues.
If your budget allows it, go brushless. They last longer, run more efficiently, and deliver better performance. For beginners, brushed tools can still get the job done.
A 4Ah or 5Ah battery is the best starting point. It gives you enough runtime without adding too much weight. I recommend sticking with original Ryobi batteries.
Yes – that’s the biggest advantage of the Ryobi ONE+ system. One battery works across a wide range of tools, which makes it perfect for beginners.
Absolutely. Tools like the impact wrench or power ratchet make working on cars much easier and faster.
Less than you think. A drill driver, one battery, and a charger are enough to start. You can always expand later.
