9 NEW Power Tools from Milwaukee, DeWALT, Harbor Freight, and more! (Sarah Episode!)
This week’s Tool Show brings a packed lineup of brand-new releases from Milwaukee, DeWALT, Craig, Bower, Olight, Greenworks, Hilti, and more. Sarah is in the studio with everything from diamond blades to modular storage, plus another exclusive platinum deal from Ohio Power Tool.
Milwaukee Expands Metal-Cutting & Lighting Options
Milwaukee’s Steel Head Metal Cutting Diamond Blades (49-93-7825) just got a new 9-inch option. Designed for cutting steel and stainless, these blades claim up to 70X longer life compared to bonded abrasives. Thanks to the diamond grit rim and solid steel core, they maintain diameter, reduce debris, and deliver serious cut counts:
- 375+ cuts in rebar
- 250+ cuts in strut
- 500+ cuts in steel studs
The 9″ blade retails at $69.97 and begins shipping in September, available now for pre-order at Ohio Power Tool.
Milwaukee also launched the M12 Rover Multi-Directional Flood Light with PACKOUT Compatibility (2350-20). With 2,200 lumens of TRUEVIEW output, a 360° rotating head, four mounting options (magnet, hooks, and PACKOUT mount), plus a 27W USB-C charging port, this compact light is built for the trades. It’s IP54 rated, impact resistant to 9 ft, and runs up to 16 hours on low with an M12 4.0Ah battery. Price: $99 bare tool, shipping now.
Lastly, Milwaukee expanded its USA-Made hand tool lineup with 8-inch Angle Head Diagonal Pliers (MT508A dipped grip $36.97, MT558A comfort grip $41.97). Both feature laser-hardened edges, optimized leverage, and a smooth no-break-in action.
DeWALT’s Keychain Bit Holder
DeWALT added a clever new accessory: the DWAFLDKC5 Keychain Bit Holder (DW-DWAFHLDKC5). This set includes five all-metal mini bit holders on a carabiner with color-coded bands for easy identification. Each ejects bits with a push for fast swaps.
- Price: $20 for the 5-piece set

For comparison, Milwaukee offers a 5-piece Carabiner Bit Holder for about $15 with forged steel bodies and dual ball retention.
