Ryobi is best known for its cordless power tools, but its corded power tools are worth considering too. The 1.4 Amp Rotary Tool is a new addition to the range that’s cheaper than its cordless equivalent, costing $69.00 from Ryobi’s website. It comes with an impressive 30 accessories as standard, covering a range of applications from polishing to sanding. Each of those accessories can be securely stored in the included case when not in use.
The tool is capable of spinning at up to 35,000 rpm but can be slowed to as little as 5,000 rpm via the speed dial. For the latest iteration of its rotary tool, Ryobi also debuted a new quick change collet, which the brand says allows users to swap between accessories up to four times faster. While it’s unlikely that most users will be too fussed about the exact amount of seconds they save between changes, the key takeaway here is that it’s easier than ever to swap out accessories for whatever you need them for.
