If your favorite green tool is broken or no longer works the way it should, don't toss it out and drop a bunch of cash on a replacement. A cheap spare part might be all you need, and you don't have to scroll through eBay to find it. Did you know Ryobi has a website where you can buy spare parts and accessories?

DeWalt makes hundreds of power tools, but you don't need to spend a ton of cash to get quality gear. While you probably already own several basics, if you're a new homeowner or simply on a budget, certain tools are must-buys. Here are a few affordable DeWalt tools worth buying.

When you need a power tool and head to the hardware store, you'll see options from Ryobi, DeWALT, RIGID, Makita, Milwaukee, and more displayed in a rainbow of colors. Once you choose a brand, you'll start stocking up on battery packs, chargers, and endless tools. Here's what you need to know about one of the most recognizable names, Milwaukee, and whether they're worth buying.

Whether you're a DIY homeowner or a professional, you know that buying a cordless power tool means getting trapped in a single brand's battery ecosystem. If you buy any other brand, you'll need a new set of batteries and chargers. However, the complete opposite is true with the Bosch Power for All system, which lets you use a single battery with 10 brands across more than 150 tools.

The cold, harsh winter months are quickly approaching, and snow is on the way, which means it's time to get out or upgrade your winter tools. There's no need to manually shovel snow from the driveway when it's freezing, especially when cordless options exist. With that in mind, here are a few cordless winter tools you should buy before winter.

Ryobi is one of the most popular power tool brands around, especially with homeowners and DIYers. And while you probably have all the usual tools you'll see on the shelves of Home Depot, like drills and drivers, that's not all Ryobi offers. It's easy to buy some of the most recommended gear, but don't forget about these underrated Ryobi tools.

A high-quality, durable toolbox for any professional in the shop will be expensive, but that doesn't mean you need to spend $8,000 or more on one, either. Most mechanics and professionals know that Snap-on is one of the best, but you can get a toolbox with similar quality for a lot less.

Milwaukee makes excellent tools across its expansive M12 and M18 lineup, tools that are loved by DIYers and trusted by professionals. The company gets a lot right, and hey, it invented the Sawzall, but that doesn't mean there aren't tools to avoid or that cost way too much for what you get.

I love a full-sized multi-tool as much as the next person, but when I'm trying to carry light or even want something TSA-approved, I reach for a smaller multi-tool that fits on my keychain.

Do you have a truck or garage full of Milwaukee tools that you've been using for years, or even decades? Milwaukee makes excellent tools loved by DIYers and professionals everywhere, but not all of them are perfect. Product recalls are rare for the brand, but a recall or safety notice is surprisingly easy to miss, even though they're pretty important.

Tell me if this sounds familiar. You have an older smart TV that's no longer compatible with your favorite streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and others. It's actually fairly common because nothing lasts forever, and software updates eventually stop. That's especially true with electronics, and that's exactly why your Google TV has an expiration date.

Most Ryobi owners love their affordable, bright-green tools, and many of us have a huge collection of 18V ONE+ tools in our garages. Over 350 products fit the same battery, and that's pretty important. However, there are several products where you'll want more power, and that's where the Ryobi 40V platform comes to save the day.
