Need All 5? NEW Power Tools Announced from Milwaukee, Bosch, RYOBI and more!
Summer is heating up, and so are the tool releases. In the latest episode of The Tool Show, we saw some serious hardware drop, from heavy-duty blowers and chainsaws to innovative lighting, compact impact drivers, and a game-changing Milwaukee bit holder. Whether you’re on the job site or just love gear that works hard, here’s everything you need to know from this week’s lineup, plus a Platinum Tool Deal from Ohio Power Tool that’s too good to miss.
Ryobi Goes Bigger and Quieter With Their New OPE Lineup
Ryobi just dropped their most powerful outdoor tools yet, and they’re gunning for gas.
40V HP Brushless 850 CFM Backpack Blower
This backpack blower brings serious airflow—850 CFM at 180 MPH—and does it with barely a whisper, thanks to its Whisper Series tech. Lighter than its predecessor by 40% and quieter than gas by 83%, it’s capable of over two hours of runtime with dual 8.0Ah batteries. Full-throttle in under a second and an onboard LCD screen make it feel like something out of a sci-fi movie. MSRP: $579.
40V HP Brushless 20-Inch Chainsaw
With more muscle than a 52cc gas saw, this chainsaw is no toy. The 20″ bar can handle cuts up to 36″, making it ideal for felling and bucking—not just backyard trimming. Over 100 cuts per charge, auto oiler, mechanical chain brake, metal bucking spikes—it’s built for serious work. Tool-only: $349. Kit: $459.
Bosch Delivers Pro-Level Performance in a Compact Frame
GDR18V-215 Impact Driver
This compact impact driver is a powerhouse, delivering 250 Nm of torque with up to 3,800 IPM. Dual speed modes, auto-stop functions for wood and metal, and a tool belt-friendly size make it a solid jobsite pick. Bare tool or kit version (with battery and charger) available starting June 13.
GLA18V-7500 Area Light
Lighting up your jobsite is about to get a whole lot easier. This 7500-lumen hybrid work light offers 360° or 180° illumination, runs on Bosch 18V batteries or AC, and includes a 15W USB-C port for device charging. Battery runtime clocks in at 6 hours on high. No price announced yet, but it’s already generating buzz.
Milwaukee Bit Holder Set: Simple Idea, Game-Changing Execution
Milwaukee just made bit access smoother with their new bit holder set. Five forged steel carriers snap securely onto a locking carabiner with dual ball retention, keeping your bits locked and ready, even while you’re on the move. Ideal for Packout setups, belts, or bags. Expect it to hit shelves in August 2025 for around $15.
