10 NEW Power Tools Announced and other Power Tool News!
Welcome back to this week’s #PowerToolWeekInReview! If you’re a fan of the latest and greatest power tools, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got everything from new tool releases, epic reviews, tool failures that need your attention, and even a wild bike ride with a leaf blower! Let’s dive into all the power tool excitement happening right now.
1. Milwaukee Impact Wrenches Facing Issues – What’s Going On?
Big news this week from TorqueTestChannel regarding Milwaukee’s M18 Half-Inch High Torque Impact Wrench (Model 2767). Milwaukee has issued an official statement acknowledging that some of these wrenches are experiencing failures. Recent changes to the internal components of the tool have led to performance issues, causing several tools to break under normal use.
If you own one of these wrenches, don’t panic! Milwaukee is actively investigating the issue. In the meantime, they are offering repairs through their e-service portal, and they encourage dissatisfied customers to reach out for support. For the full breakdown, check out the detailed investigation from TorqueTestChannel.
2. New SKIL Power Core Tools – Compact and Powerful!
SKIL Power Tools has rolled out some seriously exciting new additions to their lineup. The new Power Core 12 and 20 Volt tools are not only more compact but still pack a punch with all the power you’ve come to expect from SKIL. These new tools are up to 17% smaller than their predecessors, making them perfect for tight spaces while maintaining impressive performance.
Highlights include:
- A new compact 12V detail sander with a genius see-through dust canister (goodbye, dust mess!).
- A 20V compact circular saw that’s 38% lighter than the previous model, but just as powerful.
- Built-in USB ports for charging electronics directly from the tool (how cool is that?).
3. DeWALT’s Atomic Pin Nailer – A Closer Look
Rob Robillard from ConcordCarpenter reviewed the new DeWalt Atomic Compact Series 20V MAX Brushless Cordless 23 Gauge Pin Nailer (DCN623B). It’s got the atomic name, which implies a compact and powerful design, but Rob found it to be a little heavier than expected—about 33% heavier than Milwaukee’s M12 Pin Nailer. Despite that, he was impressed with its power, accuracy, and runtime, making it a solid contender in the finish nailer category.
4. Epic Leaf Blower Showdown on a Bike – You Have to See This!
ProjectFarm took testing leaf blowers to the next level by strapping them to a bike and seeing how fast they could go. Testing models from brands like Ryobi, DeWalt (DW-DCBL772X1), Milwaukee (2824-20), and EGO (EGO-LB7654), ProjectFarm hit 32 MPH on the bike, all thanks to blower power. This crazy (but very fun) test shows just how powerful these blowers can be. If you’re a blower fan, you definitely want to check out this wild ride!
5. Ryobi’s New 40V HP Brushless Rear Tine Tiller
The folks over at Pro Tool Reviews got their hands on Ryobi’s 40V HP Brushless Rear Tine Tiller, and they were impressed. This tiller is powered by two 6Ah batteries and offers 18 inches of tilling width and 10 inches of depth. It’s the first battery-powered rear tine tiller on the market, and Ryobi didn’t skimp on power. This machine is not a toy—it’s designed for serious garden work with less hassle and no gas maintenance. If you’ve been wanting to go green with your tilling, this one’s worth checking out!
6. HART Tools 40V Chainsaw – Power Meets Affordability
ShopToolReviews tested out the HART 40V 16-inch Chainsaw after Hurricane Ian left a huge oak tree on top of a shed. Surprisingly, the budget-friendly chainsaw held up very well, easily cutting through trunks up to 15 inches thick. If you need a capable saw for smaller to medium tasks and want something that won’t break the bank, this one’s definitely worth considering.
