BREAKING! New Tools ANNOUNCED from DeWALT, Makita, Ryobi and more! It’s the Tool Show!
Tool fans, it’s time to get excited! This week’s Tool Show is packed with major tool announcements that you won’t want to miss. From DeWALT’s latest game-changer to Ryobi’s new power station, plus more cool innovations from brands like Makita and Klein, there’s a lot happening in the world of tools. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the highlights!
DeWALT’s New Cordless Belt Sander
Let’s kick things off with DeWALT’s exciting surprise: the 20V Max XR 3×21 inch Cordless Belt Sander (DW-DCW220B). This tool is a direct competitor to Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel belt sander, and it’s packing some serious power. In fact, DeWALT claims it has 22% more power than Porter Cable’s 352 corded belt sander. Additionally, its 3×21-inch design offers 16.7% more sanding surface area than the M18. Therefore, it’s a powerhouse when it comes to rapid material removal. With a brushless motor for efficiency and runtime, this tool is built to tackle even the toughest jobs.
We’re already excited about the potential for a belt sander race between this DeWALT model and the M18! Although DeWALT hasn’t released pricing or availability yet, we’re eagerly awaiting further details. Hopefully, they’ll be available soon!
Ryobi’s Game-Changing USB Lithium Battery and Power Station
Next up, Ryobi is coming in strong with a couple of major surprises. First, they’ve unveiled their new 3Ah USB lithium battery, which is a huge upgrade. It’s 50% bigger than the previous 2Ah version while maintaining the same compact size. Not only does it power all 12 tools in the USB lithium series, but it also recharges via a USB-C port, making it ultra-convenient for everyday use.
But the real headliner here is Ryobi’s 18V 1800W Power Station. Featuring three 120V AC outlets, multiple USB ports, and a high-capacity design, this tool is ready for serious off-grid action. Moreover, it offers the ability to connect two units together for a combined total of 2592W hours—a staggering amount of power. This is especially exciting for anyone who needs a portable energy solution. The best part? The price is competitive with similar tools, and it will be available in July for $299. If you’ve been eyeing an inverter, this might be the one to grab.
Klein’s Rechargeable Clamping Fan
Switching gears, Klein is offering a useful new tool for those who need portability and flexibility: the rechargeable clamping fan. The PJSFM2 – PJSFM1 are fans that features 360-degree rotation, plus a clamp design that attaches to studs, conduit, or magnetic surfaces. Once mounted, it runs for 5 hours on high or up to 12 hours on low, making it versatile enough for various work environments. Additionally, it recharges quickly via USB-C. At just $99, it’s a solid, affordable option for keeping cool during hot work days.
Makita’s New Outdoor Gear
Makita is also making waves with a few new outdoor essentials. First, their 18V X2 LXT Outdoor Adventure Cooler is a dual-purpose cooler and warmer. It can cool to 15°F or warm to 140°F, which makes it perfect for camping, tailgating, or any outdoor adventure. Available now for $699, this cooler is a must-have for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors.
They’ve also released an Outdoor Adventure 36V LXT Hot Water Kettle, which heats up to 27 ounces of water in just 9 minutes. This kettle is ideal for boiling water for coffee, tea, or meals while on the go, and it’s priced at $214. But the most interesting product from Makita? Their XGT 40V Max Microwave. This microwave can run on two XGT 8Ah batteries for 35 minutes, making it a great solution for those who need hot meals in remote locations. Unfortunately, this one is only available in Japan for now, and it’s priced at a hefty $540.
Final Thoughts and Tool Reviews
Before we wrap up, be sure to check out some great tool reviews and challenges happening across the web. For example, Torque Test Channel is testing the Ridgid 18V Subcompact Brushless Cordless Half-Inch Impact Wrench, which has proven to be smaller and more powerful than its Milwaukee counterpart. Meanwhile, Stuff is Playing With has a fun challenge comparing quarter-inch rivet guns from Bosch, Makita, and Milwaukee (yes, we’re doing puns here—riveting stuff!). Over at Tinker With Tools, they’re asking whether the Makita TD173D is the best impact driver ever made—spoiler alert: it’s a great review! Additionally, Mike Over Projects for All gave a solid review of the Flex Flagship Hammer Drill and Impact Combo Kit, which is definitely worth a watch.
