Ryobi has launched new hand tools at Home Depot, and it looks like more might be available shortly.
Ryobi… hand tools?! This wouldn’t be the first time – they’ve launched flashlights, tape measures, a hammer, studfinder, and their LINK tool box and workshop storage system. So why not screwdrivers and more?
This was way more than I bargained for looking for more information on Ryobi’s also-new hobby knife (available now at Home Depot)!
There are quite a few new Ryobi hand tools here!
There’s even a compact ratchet and socket set.
Hold on a second.
Okay – the new Ryobi hand tools that will be launching exclusively at Home Depot are not quite identical to existing Hart hand tools sold exclusively at Walmart. But, they do look pretty similar.
(Ryobi and Hart tool brands are both designed and developed by TTI North America. TTI owns the Hart brand and the Ryobi tool business in most global regions.)

The new Ryobi screwdriver sets look to have decent handles. There’s a 4pc set, a 7pc set, and also an 11-in-1 multi-bit screwdriver.
The Ryobi screwdriver handles are a little different compared to Walmart’s Hart screwdrivers, but I’d bet the shafts and tips are the same.
I bring up Hart for one simple reason. TTI North America produced an expansive selection of Hart hand tools exclusively for Walmart. This gives them an expansive selection of hand tools that Ryobi can launch at Home Depot, it’s just a matter of what the retailer is willing to make room for at stores.
