15 Affordable Ryobi USB Lithium Tools Under $100

Ryobi is a well-known manufacturer of power tools, many of which are powered by rechargeable batteries. The company began its journey in the 1940s, producing die-cast products in a modified soy sauce warehouse. In 1968, Ryobi expanded into making power tools and has since become a familiar brand found in most major home improvement stores.

In addition to traditional corded and cordless power tools, Ryobi offers a line of smaller tools that use its USB lithium battery platform. These batteries are compact and resemble common disposable batteries in shape and design. Instead of discarding them when they’re depleted, users can recharge them using a USB-C cable.

USB lithium tools are marketed as compact, portable, and versatile, designed to be used wherever needed. They tend to be smaller, less powerful, and more affordable than other power tools. Here are 15 Ryobi USB lithium power tools that you can add to your collection for under $100.

3-inch Drain Auger – $59.97

Kitchen sinks can get clogged with foreign objects and food waste, while bathroom sinks can get clogged with hair, bobby pins, and soap scum. To clear these clogs, many people turn to chemical solutions, but these often contain caustic ingredients and may not work on all types of blockages.

A drain auger, also known as a drain snake, is an effective alternative. It slips inside the plumbing to break up or remove clogs. This Ryobi model has a 3-foot reach and is part of the USB lithium-powered tool line. It helps move the auger down and out of pipes, making it easier to clear clogs. The cable is replaceable if it breaks or wears out. A single 2Ah USB lithium battery is included.

Before using the auger, wear gloves and eye protection, and have cleaning supplies ready. Insert the auger into the drain and turn the handle clockwise as you feed it down the pipe. Continue until you find the clog, then pull the auger out. Repeat until the pipes are clear.

Detail Scrubber – $39.97

Ryobi's USB lithium detail scrubber is a multi-purpose cleaning tool with brush heads for various tasks. It is lightweight, features an LED battery indicator, and is IPX7 water-resistant, meaning it can be submerged in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes.

This tool is ideal for detailing cars, cleaning bathroom drains, removing grout, and tackling other tough messes. It makes over 6,000 oscillations per minute, which is more than 100 every second. The kit includes the detail scrubber, a default brush head, a 2Ah USB lithium battery, a USB charging cable, a medium-bristle detail brush, and a hard-bristle grout brush. Additional brush heads, such as soft-bristle brushes for gentler cleaning or scouring pads, are also available.

The magnetic tray at the bottom allows attachment to any ferrous metal surface. It also has a keyhole mount for non-magnetic walls and is compatible with Ryobi Link Wall Storage. The tray itself is magnetic, so it can temporarily hold small metal items like nuts, bolts, and screws.
