Some dads relax on the couch. Others relax by building a deck, fixing an engine, organizing the garage, or tackling the next project on their to-do list. If your dad falls into the second category, these RYOBI tools make excellent Father’s Day gifts. From portable power stations and automotive tools to workshop essentials and garage upgrades, there’s something here for every type of DIY dad.
Portable Power & Storm Preparedness
RYOBI 18V ONE+ 1800-Watt Portable Battery Inverter Power Station
Whether Dad enjoys camping, tailgating, or simply being prepared for the next storm, the RYOBI 18V ONE+ Portable Battery Inverter Power Station is a practical gift. It features an 1,800-watt output from a battery rather than a gas-powered generator. It can handle up to 8 batteries at once, providing enough power to run appliances, electronics, and power tools.
Workshop & DIY Essentials
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless 8-Tool Combo Kit
Plenty of dads want to start a tool collection or invest in a single cordless platform. This 8-tool combo kit is a great option, as it allows Dad to switch to a powerful collection of tools that all run on the same battery system. This kit includes a drill/driver combo, an impact driver, a reciprocating saw, a circular saw, a handy multi-tool, a jig saw, a random orbit sander, and an LED worklight, all of which use Ryobi’s 18V battery system.
RYOBI 13 Amp 8-1/4-Inch Compact Jobsite Table Saw
Dads can never have enough space in their workshop. So, unless you’re planning to pay for an addition on his garage, maximize the space he already has with this compact table saw. The powerful 13-amp motor spins the 8 ¼-inch blade up to 5,700 RPM. It’s an excellent solution for woodworking and trim projects, and since it’s only 45 pounds, it’ll be easy to bring on the jobsite.
RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Impact Driver Kit
DIY dads turn to cordless impact drivers more frequently than most other tools in their collections. This model from RYOBI has plenty of power for quick, efficient fastening. This kit comes with two 18V batteries as well as a charger, making it an affordable introduction to the Ryobi 18V lineup. It’s also ideal for tight spaces, thanks to its compact design.
RYOBI 95-Piece Drill and Impact Driver Kit
While this kit doesn’t have a battery, it’s just as important as the impact driver or drill driver your dad uses. This unit includes drill bits, driver bits, and accessories. In total, there are 95 pieces, including drill bits, driver bits, spade bits, nut drivers, and more. He can replace worn bits whenever he needs, and it’s one of the most affordable Father’s Day gift options.
Garage & Automotive Tools
RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless 1/2-Inch High-Torque Impact Wrench
If Dad spends weekends working on cars, trucks, trailers, or equipment, a high-torque impact wrench can make some of those jobs much easier. This brushless model delivers enough power to loosen stubborn lug nuts and heavily tightened fasteners without relying on an air compressor or extension cord. Multiple speed settings provide added control, making it useful for everything from tire rotations to larger repair projects.
RYOBI 156-Piece Mechanics Tool Set
Dads appreciate a quality socket set, and that’s what this 156-piece mechanics tool kit offers. The kit comes with ¼-inch drive and ⅜-inch drive tools and a handy storage case to keep the kit complete and safe. Whether he’s maintaining vehicles, assembling equipment, or tackling household repairs, this set helps ensure the right socket is always within reach.
RYOBI USB Lithium Cordless LED Magnetic Tray Kit
Some of the most useful garage tools aren’t the biggest or most expensive. This clever combination of a magnetic parts tray and adjustable LED work light helps keep fasteners organized while illuminating tight work areas. The magnetic base attaches to toolboxes, vehicle frames, and other metal surfaces, making it especially useful for automotive repairs and equipment maintenance. It’s the kind of tool Dad will find himself reaching for again and again.
Workshop Comforts & Convenience
RYOBI ONE+ Hybrid VERSE LINK Stereo
Every dad needs his personal soundtrack playing in the background. Whether he’s building, grilling, or relaxing around the fire pit, the RYOBI ONE+ Hybrid VERSE LINK Stereo delivers powerful audio wherever he needs it, connecting to his phone or tablet via Bluetooth. It features a built-in subwoofer and dual midrange speakers for impressive sound quality, and it can run on either a RYOBI ONE+ battery or an extension cord for added flexibility.
For dads who already own RYOBI batteries, it’s an easy way to add music, podcasts, or game-day broadcasts to any project or gathering.
RYOBI ONE+ Hybrid Whisper Series Fan
If you want to make sure your dad is the coolest on this block, you won’t want to miss these fans from RYOBI. This two-pack of RYOBI Hybrid Whisper Series Fans helps keep garages, workshops, patios, and sidelines comfortable during hot weather. The hybrid design allows the fans to run on either a ONE+ battery or an extension cord, making them useful almost anywhere.
Despite their compact size, these fans move plenty of air while operating quietly enough for conversations, music, or watching a game. They’re one of those tools most homeowners don’t realize they need until they own one.
Methodology
To create this list, we evaluated products across RYOBI’s lineup based on versatility, value, homeowner appeal, and gift potential. We prioritized tools and accessories that serve a wide range of users, from first-time homeowners and DIY enthusiasts to experienced woodworkers and automotive hobbyists. We also selected products across multiple price points to provide options for different budgets. But most importantly, we considered what dads really want, and a new necktie or beard trimmer didn’t make the list.
