Ryobi is one of the most popular power tool brands, and while that's mostly due to a large selection of affordable tools, a big part of its success is its hundreds of products and accessories that all run off the same battery. If you own a few Ryobi 40V tools, there are many other ways to put those big battery packs to use. If you're anything like me, you have a vast selection of Ryobi 18V ONE+ tools, along with several 40V outdoor tools. I don't need more tools, but I'm always down to grab some helpful accessories, fans, or lights. So, instead of only using that powerful 40V battery on your leaf blower or lawn mower, check out these useful products and accessories that'll help you get the most from your gear. Ryobi 40V Hybrid Misting Air Cannon Fan Powerful cooling that'll instantly make you feel better Ryobi currently offers around 85 core products that run on its 40V battery packs, compared to over 350 for the 18V platform. But that's ok, because you probably own both. Any DIYer or homeowner with a Ryobi 40V battery pack will want to invest in the 18-inch Hybrid Misting Air Cannon. It's by far one of my favorite Ryobi products, and it's a lifesaver when I'm working in the garage, playing with the kids in the backyard on a hot summer day, or whenever I just need some airflow. I've had it for a year, and I love it. The best part is the built-in misting function, which instantly keeps my space as cool as a cucumber. For $289, this certainly isn't a cheap fan, but any large garage fan like this is pretty expensive at Home Depot. But don't worry, you'll get your money's worth. This fan is all about versatility. It's a hybrid tool, meaning it'll run from your 40V battery or an extension cord, so it's great for anywhere and everywhere. Then you can hook it up to your hose and use the misting function, or even drop the water inlet tube into a 5-gallon bucket or a cooler filled with melted ice. The options are endless, but the end result is the same: ice-cold air! Ryobi 40V Battery Topper Light Light up the night Credit: Ryobi If you're looking for a more affordable accessory that uses your 40V battery, look no further than this battery topper light. Whether it's for camping, working in the garage, late-night DIY projects, or emergency preparedness, this light has you covered. Snap this light onto your 40V battery and enjoy up to 1,000 lumens for nearly 11 days. Seriously, it's perfect for outdoor adventures. It offers four brightness modes, a pivoting head, a metal hook for mounting it on walls or your truck hood, and that hook has the perfect 2x bend for holding onto 2x4s and such. The other benefit is an included USB-C port, which will let you recharge phones, tablets, or laptops from your 40V battery. Put this in your emergency stash for winter storms; you'll be glad you did. Ryobi 40V Battery Topper LED Light Whether you're working on a late-night project in the garage or want to be prepared for winter storms and power outages, the Ryobi 40V battery topper light is a solid accessory. There's a USB-C port, too, so you can recharge your phone. Ryobi 40V Brushless Power Cleaner Like a pressure washer, but portable Credit: Ryobi Ryobi's portable power cleaners are fantastic, especially the latest models, which deliver more PSI than ever before. So much, in fact, that they're almost as capable as a pressure washer in some scenarios. A solid example is the newest Ryobi 40V portable power cleaner. The new 40V Quick-Connect Power Cleaner delivers 1,000 PSI of pressure and a 1.0 GPM of flow. You can connect a garden hose, a water bottle, or drop the included quick-connect nozzle into a 5-gallon bucket. From there, snap your 40V battery into the watertight enclosure, pull the trigger, and start cleaning. This is perfect for cleaning the driveway and patio furniture, or for spraying off all the salt and road grime from your vehicle during the winter. It's a capable little accessory you'll love. Oh, and there's a smaller 18V model for those interested. Ryobi 40V Power Source and Charger (300W) Charge batteries, phones, and so much more Last but certainly not least, we have the Ryobi 300W Power Source and Charger that operates with any 40V battery. This is my most recent Ryobi buy, and it's pretty awesome. By default, this is a simple Ryobi 40V battery charger that you can leave in the garage. However, it also has two USB-C ports, a USB-A port, and a 120V AC outlet on the front to plug in additional devices while your battery is charging between uses. Then, when the power goes out, you want to go camping/tailgating, or you just need portable power, bring the whole thing with you as a portable power bank. This accessory turns your Ryobi 40V battery into 300W of usable power for lights, fans, a fridge, phone charging, laptop power, and so much more. I tested it as a backup power source for my home Wi-Fi, and it worked great. The opportunities are endless, and I can't wait to use this thing more. Ryobi 40V 300W Charger and Power Source Special features Low Battery Shutdown, Mountable, On Indicator Light, On/Off Switch, Overload Protection, Replaceable Battery, USB Port Tool Type Battery Turn your Ryobi 40V charger into a portable power and charging station with this 300W accessory. And so much more As any Ryobi owner knows, these few products are only the beginning. Again, there are over 85 different items you can power with a 40V battery. And while most of them are tools or outdoor power equipment, there are also tiny battery topper fans, lights, shop vacs, backpack leaf blowers, lawn edgers, and more. Head to Home Depot and buy something new.
