Milwaukee is announcing 40 NEW POWER TOOLS at PIPELINE! Plus new tools from Harbor Freight and Bosch
Milwaukee’s PIPELINE 2025 is officially happening and it’s shaping up to be a monumental moment in the power tool world. Over 40 brand-new Milwaukee tools are being announced, and yes, we’ll be there, covering every groundbreaking detail. But before we even get to August 21st, the tool world is already buzzing with huge releases from Bosch, Harbor Freight, Wright Tools, and more.
Milwaukee’s Hot Shot: Cordless Jump Starter Enters the Scene
Milwaukee just revealed the M18 Hot Shot, their first-ever jump starter. Designed to work with any M18 battery, this compact 6.9 lb unit delivers 2,000 peak amps, enough to revive up to 8.1L gas or 3.0L diesel engines. It only takes 70 seconds to charge the internal capacitors and can deliver about 70 jump starts on a single XC5.0 pack. Rated for extreme temps, reverse polarity protection, and spark-proof connections, it’s as rugged as it is smart.
Pre-order it now at Ohio Power Tool for $299 bare tool.
Bosch Powers Up with the GDC 18V-14 Chop Saw
Bosch is swinging hard into heavy metal territory with the GDC 18V-14, the first 14″ dry cut saw on their 18V platform. It’s loaded with thoughtful features: a red laser guide, toolless miters, a K adapter for pipe, and an overload alert LED. Best of all? It runs cool and burr-free thanks to the carbide-tooth blade. Weighing just 44 lbs, it’s lighter than most corded options.
Wright Tools Launches Cushioned Grip Screwdrivers
Proudly made in Ohio, Wright’s new screwdrivers bring durability and comfort to the table. The oversized rubberized handles absorb torque shock, while the hardened alloy steel tips grip fasteners like a vice. Bonus: the square shank version lets you use a wrench when things get gnarly.
Harbor Freight’s Predator Power Station: Portable, Powerful, and Solar Ready
The new Predator 600W Power Station is Harbor Freight’s biggest leap yet in portable energy. With seven output options (AC, USB-A, USB-C, 12V), 600W continuous power, and 1,200W surge, this little beast is perfect for job sites, camping, and emergencies. It recharges in 90 minutes and handles 3,500 cycles — that’s serious staying power for $449.
In-store only at Harbor Freight, rolling out nationwide.
