NEW Power Tools! The Latest from Milwaukee, Ryobi, Makita, and FLEX! | Power Tool Week in Review
Power tool enthusiasts, it’s time for another Power Tool Week in Review! This week, we’re bringing you all the latest buzz from some of the top names in the industry: Milwaukee, Ryobi, Makita, and FLEX. From new product launches to exciting tool tests, there’s plenty to dive into. Let’s get started with all the highlights from the week.
Flex 24V Combo Kit with ManCaverTools
Kicking things off, we’ve got Dave from ManCaverTools sharing his thoughts on the new Flex 24V 4-tool Combo Kit. Dave had the kit for a while but finally put it to the test. He dives deep into the specs, pointing out the highs and lows of each tool, and even compares them to some favorites from other big brands like Milwaukee and Hilti. You’ll want to hear his honest take on whether these tools stack up in the real world. But hold on—Dave also launched another review this week that’s definitely worth the watch! It’s all about the Milwaukee Packout Tumbler, and let’s just say, the results weren’t as smooth as the tumbler’s design. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you open a tumbler too quickly, you might want to tune in!
Matco Compact 3/8″ Impact Wrench by TorqueTestChannel
Next up, TorqueTestChannel brought us a comparison of the Matco Compact 3/8″ Impact Wrench against Milwaukee and DeWalt. This unique tool is only 16V, which is somewhat of an oddity in the 12V and 18V power tool world, but it packs a punch. With an impressively low risk of breaking, this tool definitely holds its own. While the price tag might make you second-guess, it shows it has the muscle to back up the claims.
Milwaukee M18 Mower Review by Dirtmonkey
If you’ve been hearing about the Milwaukee M18 Mower but haven’t seen it in action yet, you’re in luck! Dirtmonkey finally put this powerful battery-operated mower to the test in his backyard. The results? Well, it lived up to Milwaukee’s claims but not without some hiccups along the way. The battery-powered mower performed well overall but got bogged down with some tougher patches. Still, it’s an exciting option for anyone looking to go green in their lawn care routine.
Ryobi & Milwaukee Tool Announcements
It’s been a busy week for Ryobi and Milwaukee! Ryobi unveiled their 18V One+ HP Compact Brushless 5/8 SDS+ Rotary Hammer. While the power and price look great, there’s a catch—it doesn’t have a chipping or hammer-only mode, which disappointed some viewers. On the Milwaukee side, they announced their new Wrecker demolition sawzall blades. The name might make you scratch your head, but these blades are made for tough jobs. Let’s just say you’ll be cutting through more than just drywall with these tools!

Makita Chainsaw Test by ToolsAndStuffOfficial
If you’re in the market for a new chainsaw, ToolsAndStuffOfficial has a full breakdown of the Makita XGT 40V Mega Chainsaw. He puts it through its paces, comparing it to its younger siblings and seeing if the extra power is worth the price. After some heavy-duty testing, the Makita chainsaw proves it can hold up to serious tasks. But the question remains: is it worth jumping from the LXT to XGT? Head over to his channel to find out.
Makita vs. Milwaukee Hammer Drill Showdown by TinkerWithTools
This week, TinkerWithTools tested two powerhouse hammer drills: the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hammer Drill and the Makita XPH14 LXT Hammer Drill. Both are top-tier tools, but how did they compare when driving lag bolts into OSB? TinkerWithTools found the Milwaukee to be a bit more powerful, but the Makita offered superior comfort. Which one should you pick for your next project? Find out in his detailed showdown.
