Welcome back, tool fans! If you’re here for the latest and greatest in power tools, you’re in for a treat. Tonight, we’ve got a jam-packed episode featuring everything from inspection cameras to toddler chainsaws, grinders, and drill battles. Oh, and did I mention an exclusive first look at a brand-new tool that won’t even be announced until next Wednesday? That’s right! Let’s dive into the #ToolShow and explore all the exciting details.
Metabo’s New Releases: Impact Wrenches and Combination Hammer
We start with Metabo, which just launched two powerful 18V cordless impact wrenches in the U.S. market. The SSW18 LTX 800 BL delivers an impressive 590 foot-pounds of maximum tightening torque, while the SSW18 LTX 1750 BL provides a jaw-dropping 1290 foot-pounds. These tools feature Metabo’s second-generation brushless motor, offering better durability, power, and efficiency. Plus, they come with ergonomic features like a non-slip grip and LED work lights, designed for heavy-duty tasks such as metalworking, carpentry, and fabrication.
Metabo also launched the KH18 LTX BL28Q, a 1-inch, 1/8-inch SDS Plus combination hammer perfect for drilling through masonry, concrete, and stone. The hammer boasts kickback control, anti-vibration systems, and patented safety clutch technology, all aimed at ensuring precision and safety. Prices start at $334 for the bare tool and $476 with the dust extractor included.
Metabo’s Angle Grinder: Cutting the Cord Without Compromise
Next up, Metabo brings us the WPB18 LTX BL 11-125 Quick, a cordless version of their popular WP-11 125 angle grinder. Made in Germany, this grinder delivers the same power as its corded counterpart, but with added mobility. The automatic mechanical safety slip clutch and Taco Constematic cruise control features keep the grinder running smoothly under pressure. Plus, the tool has a smaller, more ergonomic grip and a rotating battery for better accessibility in tight spaces.
Priced at $239 bare, or $536 in a 5.0Ah kit, this grinder is packed with features that make it a must-have for Metabo enthusiasts.
DeWALT ToughSystem 2.0 Adapter: Perfect for Mixed Storage Systems
Now, we turn to DeWALT, which just released the ToughSystem 2.0 adapter plate. This innovative accessory allows you to seamlessly connect ToughSystem 2.0 with TSTAK storage systems. The adapter plate makes it easy to combine older TSTAK boxes with the new ToughSystem 2.0. If you’re expanding or upgrading your storage, this adapter is a game-changer. You can grab it from Ohio Power Tool for just $26.09—a steal!
Isotunes Ultra Aware Bluetooth Hearing Protection
For those working in loud environments, check out the new Isotunes Ultra Aware Bluetooth-enabled hearing protection. It’s the world’s first in-ear hearing protection with a detachable boom microphone, perfect for making clear calls in noisy job sites. Although the launch has been delayed until next month due to additional in-house testing, you can sign up to be notified when it becomes available.
Torque Test Channel: Angle Grinder Face-Off
Over at Torque Test Channel (TTC), they’ve expanded their tool rankings to include angle grinders! TTC built a new Dyno to test grinders from brands like Milwaukee and Harbor Freight. They tested torque and power, and the results might surprise you! Check out the full video to see which grinder comes out on top.
Milwaukee M12 Inspection Camera: A Game-Changer for Home Renovation
If inspection cameras are your thing, don’t miss Milwaukee’s M12 M-Specter 360° inspection camera. It comes with four accessories: a hook, a mirror, a rare-earth magnet, and a plumbing inspection tool. You can record videos, take pictures, and zoom between 1x and 4x. This tool is perfect for home renovations or commercial projects, especially when you need to inspect hard-to-reach spaces.
Hercules vs. Milwaukee Hammer Drill: Battle of the Powerhouses
In the hammer drill showdown, Builder Mastering Mayhem compared the Milwaukee Gen 4 hammer drill with the Hercules. Both drills faced the challenge of drilling into various materials using SDS masonry bits and structural screws. Milwaukee’s drill performed slightly faster in the masonry tests, but the Hercules surprised everyone with its strength and performance. Check out the full review to find out which drill earned top honors.
Ego Z6 Zero-Turn Mower: The Future of Lawn Care
Looking for a game-changer in lawn care? Check out Ego’s new Z6 Zero-Turn Mower. With LED lights, a 10-position deck height adjustment, and an ultra-comfortable suspension seat, this mower combines performance with comfort. The steering wheel allows you to maneuver the mower with ease, even around obstacles or tight spaces. If you’re in the market for a new mower, the Z6 is a must-see!
Toddler Chainsaw: Small Tool, Big Potential
Lastly, Key introduced a top-handle toddler chainsaw designed for arborists and linemen. It’s lightweight and portable, making it a great tool for lighter tasks. While it struggles with larger logs, it excels in smaller, more precise jobs. It’s an excellent choice for those who need a compact yet effective chainsaw.
