The above banner is about as much info that we have at the moment at the time of writing. There we see both model images and both are 18 volt tools.



The first one is a 1/2″ mud mixer model PBLMM01 and the second is a 5″ handheld tile saw model PBLHTS01. We will have to wait for additional info as it trickles from Ryobi. We also want to  keep in mind that the above images are pre-production models so there might be some slight changes when they launch.

Ryobi 18V Mud Mixer

There’s not much to say about the mud mixer, it has the typical workings of a mud mixer. A 1/2″ keyed chuck and two large handles. The battery bay is on top. It looks like a dial is on the right and a trigger on the left trigger. These are good for mixing drywall mud and thinset among other things.

Ryobi 18V HP Brushless 1/2" Mud Mixer

On June 2023, we received more official info regarding the new cordless Ryobi mud mixer. You can read all about it by clicking here or in the link below. In that article we discuss its features, pricing, and availability.

Ryobi 18V HP Brushless 1/2″ Mud Mixer



Ryobi 18V 5″ Handheld Tile Saw

The tile saw has 5 inch on the title which may allude to the size of its blade. However the blade looks a bit smaller than 5 inches. It looks more like 3 to 4 inches like those small cut off wheels but I could be wrong. It has a form factor similar to a circular saw with a shoe that can bevel. The upper blade guard holds a water reservoir to water cool the blade as it cuts. Water also helps cut down on airborn dust. It also appears to have an opening at the rear of the blade guard.

Ryobi 18V HP Brushless 5″ Handheld Tile / Masonry Saw

This cordless tile saw now gets a new name/title as the 18V HP brushless 5 inch handheld tile / masonry saw. It is now scheduled to launch September 2023. There are two model numbers for this, the PBLHTS01B as a baretool will be priced at $199. The kit form PBLHTS01K is priced at $259 and comes with a 4ah battery and charger.



Features

This cordless handheld tile saw is a portable tile saw that allows you to make cuts on tile and brick just about anywhere. Rather than bringing the tile to the saw, you take the saw to the tile. It has the ability to cut up to 1-5/8″ cut capacity at 90 degrees. It also has a lock on trigger for continuous cuts.

Above we can see a 20.5 oz water reservoir attachment for fully portable wet cutting. We can also see this tile saws ability to make bevel cuts with 0-45 degree bevel cuts.



One of the strengths of a portable tile saw over a stationary tile saw is its ability to cut large format tile. Where it just wouldn’t be possible to cut with a typical stationary tile saw table system.

Above we can also see this tile saws included 12 foot water supply hose for unlimited water flow. You can adjust the amount of water flow with the onboard water flow control knob.

Wet cutting is great for cutting tile as it eliminates airborn dust. However water cutting can get messy. There are times when you may want to skip wet cutting and to work on the dust problem, this tile saw also has a vacuum attachment dust port for 1-1/4″ and 1-7/8″ vac hoses. Now this wont entirely get rid of dust but it will help greatly so make sure to use you PPE dust masks.



Runtime

As far as runtime is concerned you can cut up to 100 linear feet of 1/4″ tile per charge with a 12ah battery. Ryobi says this is enough to cut all the tile for standard bathroom with just one charge.
