NEW Power Tools from Milwaukee, RIDGID, Klein and more!
In this week’s #ToolShow, we’ve got some exciting news about new tools from top brands like Milwaukee, RIDGID, and Klein. Here’s a rundown of the latest releases you won’t want to miss!
RIDGID’s New High Torque Impact Wrench
RIDGID just launched the R86 31 2B, an 18V brushless, four-mode, high-torque impact wrench. This beast delivers 900 ft-lbs of fastening torque and an impressive 1,300 ft-lbs of breakaway torque. The wrench has three speeds, and the auto-tightening mode prevents overtightening. It even stops when it breaks loose a nut. It also features a 3/4-inch anvil with a friction ring, LED light, and a die-cast gear box for durability. Look for it in March at Home Depot for $279.
Milwaukee’s Quad Battery Monster
Milwaukee’s big announcement this week is their new quad battery-powered tool. It’s a game changer! Plus, they’ve also introduced a quieter M18 fuel blower with 500 CFM (3017-20) at 120 mph. It weighs only 5.1 lbs and comes with a variable speed lock. Starting at $179, it’s perfect for pros looking for a powerful, quiet option.
But the real highlight is the M18 Fuel Dual Battery Backpack Blower (3009-20). This powerful tool uses four 12Ah batteries and claims to match the power of a 60cc gas blower. It pushes 650 CFM at 155 mph and runs at full speed in less than a second. Expect to pay $1,499 for the full kit with four batteries when it drops in April. If you already own Milwaukee’s M18 batteries, you can snag just the tool for $499.
Klein’s New PPE Lineup
Klein also unveiled an exciting new lineup of PPE tools, including face shields for hard hats and safety helmets. With clear and gray tint options, these face shields offer top-notch protection and comfort. Prices range from $29 to $39.
Milwaukee’s New Boots: A First Look
Milwaukee unveiled their new work boots at the European pipeline event. While they didn’t invite us, our friend James from Machinery Nation was there and shared his hands-on experience. These boots are lightweight and comfortable, just like the other Milwaukee tools you know and love. With a BOA system for easy tightening, they are designed for durability and comfort.
James mentioned that these boots feel comfortable and functional, with sizes ranging from 3 to 14. We can’t wait to try them out!
