We’re in the home stretch folks with less than two weeks until Christmas. It seems every year we wait until the last minute to get gifts for those really hard to shop for people.

Give A New Power Tool
One of the really exciting gifts from The Home Depot this year are the all new Ryobi +One cordless tools. How about buying dad or the handy person in your house a new tool. Ryobi offers dozens of great cordless tools to fit nearly any project. Combine that with their latest lithium-ion battery platform and you have a real winner.
I recently tested their 18V Cordless Impact Wrench. The impact wrench is great around the house for all kinds of projects including: changing the tires on your car, installing large lag bolts for a new deck and pretty much any project that requires a socket. Having tools like this around the house make those last minute home improvement disasters much easier to deal with.
The impact wrench also comes with an adapter that allows you to use it for all sorts of different drill bits. This turns it into a VERY functional tool that’s perfect for the DIY’er.
The best thing about the new lithium-ion batteries from Royobi is the fact that they can power the older Ryobi tools like the one shown above. This means you can upgrade all those old NiCd tools for the added run time of lithium-ion. If you know a loved one with some of the older Ryobi tools this would be a great way to upgrade their tools while saving lots of money.
