Back in 2018 we had learned that Ryobi had created a hybrid 18V forced air propane heater with their P3180 model. It was very similar to their sister brand Ridgid model but offered less BTU’s of heat output at 15,000 BTU. That Ryobi model is nowhere to be found on the Home Depot website at the time of writing so it appears they might be updating/replacing it with the newer model shown in this article. The PCL801 provides more heat at 30,000 BTU at the minimum and goes all the way up to 60,000 BTU which makes it on par with Ridgid’s version. In fact, the Ryobi version looks very similar and has similar specs to the Ridgid version with just a few cosmetic differences here and there. The Ryobi is labeled a hybrid model because it can run on a single Ryobi 18V One+ battery or you can plug it in via AC power using an extension cord. Heat is provided by using propane and the battery or extension cord provides ignition and powers the fan that pushes hot air outwards and according to Ryobi has a heating coverage up to 2,500 square feet. It has durable metal and plastic construction and a temperature control dial to control the heat output.

It will be available in October 2022 for $149 as a baretool.
