How to File a Ryobi Warranty Claim

Ryobi hand tools (tape measures, hammers, shovels) are covered for the usable life of the product for the original buyer. Unlike some brands, Ryobi wants proof of purchase from an authorized retailer, and you pay to ship it in.

Terms checked October 18, 2026. Warranty terms change, so confirm on the brand's page before shipping anything.
