Ryobi has been a venerable name in the homeowner/DIY power tool space in North America since the turn of the millennium. Sold almost exclusively through Home Depot, Ryobi has always offered good cordless tools at prices that were approachable to the average DIY’er. However, for bigger jobs or continuous use, sometimes the existing Ryobi tools weren’t the best choice. That is, until recently, with the release of the new Ryobi HP Brushless Tools.

DeWalt Flexvolt Advantage – Evolved Power
In the home improvement world, it’s often necessary to do more with less. To improve things you already have, vs. starting from scratch and building something new. A good example is upgrading your home’s thermostat to an IoT-connected (Internet of Things), “smart” one. The core function is still the same – to cycle your home’s HVAC system on and off. However, your new thermostat comes with new functionality and options that can significantly increase your home’s efficiency. DeWalt, as a leader in the home improvement space, certainly understands this mindset. Case in point: the new line of 20V MAX* DeWalt Flexvolt Advantage™ tools. These build on existing DeWalt tool frames by incorporating some neat technology that significantly increases power levels in some instances. More on the technology and tools in this installment of Tool News Nirvana. Read More
