Ryobi 18v Orbital Polisher

[Optimus Grime]

Home depot has the tool only right now for $129. Easy way to dip your toes into cordless if you got ryobi tech.

It's perfectly fine for doing paint enhancements or a very light paint correction. Anything more serious and a more powerful polisher would be a much better fit. If I'm working on a new vehicle this is my go to tool but the major pitfall is battery life. From my lawn mowing days with Ryobi tools, I still have a collection of their high capacity batteries but if you're relying on the 2ah battery it comes with you'll probably be lucky to get done with a panel and it's time to recharge.

Does anyone know anything about this (see Home Depot's site for the specs)? I couldn't find anything anywhere else here about anyone even hinting at it. This just popped up in my Instagram feed yesterday.

Looks like it comes with Meguiar's pads, too, so there might be some connection between the companies. This is right up my alley, in that I have a pretty good suite of Ryobi products already and I absolutely HATE cords while I'm detailing. I really want to give this thing a spin, so to speak.


Anyone grabbed one of these yet? I'm cautiously optimistic. I really hope it's decent.
