NEW Milwaukee Power Tools for 2026!

World of Concrete is almost here, and tool brands are moving fast. This week’s Tool Show highlights new releases from Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt, Ryobi, Harbor Freight, and Metabo HPT. We also go hands-on with the new Grabo Pro Brushless and explain why more trades now rely on it.

If you want an early look at 2026 jobsite tools, this episode delivers.


Makita Targets High-Volume Fastening

Makita announced the 18V LXT Auto-Feed Screwdriver (SRF4) for drywall, decking, and framing. It reaches 4,500 RPM and drives collated screws from 1″ to 2-3/16″.

Makita built it for speed and efficiency. A 5.0Ah battery can drive up to 2,670 screws. Push Drive technology keeps the motor off until the screw engages. That improves runtime and reduces noise.

Makita has not shared pricing yet. Expect more details at World of Concrete.


Ryobi Expands Portable Power with GaN

Ryobi released two new power source chargers that turn batteries into compact power stations.

The 18V ONE+ 200W model uses gallium nitride (GaN) for better efficiency and cooler performance. It provides pure sine wave AC power. You also get USB-A and multiple USB-C ports. A built-in light and device holder add convenience.

Ryobi also launched a 40V 300W version with higher output capacity. Both units double as battery chargers, which adds jobsite value.


Harbor Freight Adds an Affordable Bauer Drill Kit

Harbor Freight introduced a Bauer 20V 1/2″ Drill/Driver Kit. The kit includes a 2.0Ah battery and rapid charger.

The drill uses a 1/2″ all-metal chuck and all-metal gears. It offers two speeds and an LED work light. The standout feature is the price. The complete kit costs $54.99 and is available now.


DeWalt Focuses on Concrete Crews

DeWalt launched the 20V MAX XR Cordless Duplex Nailer (DW-DCN910B). Concrete contractors use duplex nails for forms and bracing. This cordless nailer improves speed and reduces manual labor.

DeWalt also previewed the DCCS100B Concrete Chemical Sprayer for 2026. It handles curing compounds, form release, and surface treatments. The sprayer delivers up to 150 PSI and offers adjustable flow. Crews gain mobility because it runs on DeWalt’s 20V platform.


Metabo Tools Shift Under Metabo HPT Branding

Metabo and Metabo HPT continue merging under the Metabo HPT name. Several corded grinders, polishers, and sanders now carry the updated branding.

The tools still come from Germany. Only the names and model numbers changed.


Milwaukee Pushes Cordless HVAC Forward

Milwaukee released a cordless refrigerant recovery machine (2938-21) for HVAC technicians. Techs can now work without searching for outlets or hauling extension cords.

Pair it with Milwaukee’s cordless vacuum pump (2774-21HD) for a fully cordless service setup. The unit supports newer A2L refrigerants and runs on a FORGE HD12.0 battery. Milwaukee plans an April release.


Grabo Pro Brushless: A Small Tool Making a Big Impact

The episode also features the Grabo Pro Brushless, and its use keeps expanding across trades. Installers use it for tile, glass, stone, and cabinets. Carpenters and DIYers rely on it for plywood, MDF, and sheet goods.

The brushless motor moves 30 liters of air per minute, up from 20. That helps the tool reach full vacuum in about five seconds. The motor also improves runtime and reduces maintenance.

The key upgrade is the adjustable vacuum limit selector. Users can set the exact suction level. This feature protects delicate materials like thin glass and polished stone. The pump then maintains that pressure automatically.

Grabo also added battery flexibility. Users can run its native battery or use adapters for Bosch, DeWalt, Flex, Makita, or Milwaukee packs.


Platinum Tool Deal from Ohio Power Tool

This week’s Ohio Power Tool deal gives $50 off a $100+ GearWrench purchase. The code works for the first 25 users during the promo window. These deals reward viewers who watch the show right at launch.


Tool brands are not waiting for World of Concrete. Milwaukee expanded cordless HVAC solutions. DeWalt focused on concrete tools. Makita improved high-speed fastening. Ryobi grew its jobsite power lineup. Grabo refined one of the most versatile handling tools on the market.

If this preview tells us anything, 2026 will focus on mobility, efficiency, and smarter jobsite tools.
