Tool enthusiasts, get ready! Major brands like Milwaukee, Makita, Ryobi, and Metabo HPT have unveiled new tools that will change the game. In the recent Tool Show, these brands introduced some exciting innovations. Let’s dive into the latest updates you don’t want to miss!
Metabo HPT’s New 36V Multi-Volt Belt Sander
Metabo HPT just introduced the SB 3608 DAQ4, their 36V Multi-Volt Cordless Belt Sander. This tool is designed for remodelers, flooring installers, carpenters, and DIYers alike. It features six-speed settings and an auto-mode function that adjusts the speed based on load, reducing vibration and noise. The sander comes with a dust collection port, which helps keep your workspace clean. With its brushless motor, the sander can reach a speed of 1475 feet per minute, and the electronic brake ensures quick and safe stopping. If you’re working on larger projects, Metabo’s AC adapter allows you to keep going without worrying about battery life. You can pick up the sander for around $169 as a bare tool.
Ryobi’s New Jump Starter and Ratchet
Ryobi is also rolling out exciting tools. First, the 18V One+ 1600 Peak Amp Jump Starter offers a convenient way to jump-start your vehicle, boat, or truck. With just the included 2Ah battery, this tool can jump your car up to 20 times. It works for engines as large as a 6-liter V8 and features reverse polarity protection and anti-spark technology. Ryobi claims it works in temperatures as low as -4°F, so it’s perfect for colder climates. You can grab it for $199 in a kit or $179 for the bare tool.
Ryobi also announced the 18V One+ Multi-Size Ratchet, which works with 1/2-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/4-inch anvil sizes. It provides 35 foot-pounds of torque and runs at 260 RPM. This versatile ratchet is great for everything from automotive repairs to household projects. It’ll be available for $159 with a 1.5Ah battery or $119 bare.
Makita’s New Compact Hammer Drill and Material Handling Carts
Makita has introduced the 18V LXT Compact Brushless Hammer Driver Drill (XPH16T), a powerful tool that delivers 970 inch-pounds of torque—a 70% increase over its predecessor. The drill features a two-speed variable design, offering 550 and 1800 RPM and 8250 and 27,000 BPM. Weighing only 4.9 pounds with a 5Ah battery, it’s compact and perfect for tight spaces. You can get it for $350 in a kit.
But the real excitement comes with Makita’s new battery-powered material handling carts. These 36V X2 LXT carts come in three versions designed to move heavy loads. The XUC04Z features a dump bucket with a 660-pound capacity, while the XUC06Z offers a flat bucket with the same capacity. These carts provide up to 100 minutes of run time and are equipped with features like mechanical disc brakes and an electromagnetic brake for safety. Keep an eye out for pricing and availability as they hit the market.
