In partnership with Greenworks Tools
Greenworks’ lineup of power tools has expanded steadily over the past several years to meet the needs of DIYers. In 2026, they launched Greenworks 24V Pro power tools to bring the performance, durability, and value of the 24V platform to professional users.
I had a ton of questions, so I got in touch with Greenworks Product Manager Pete Denley to learn more. In this article, I’ll share what he had to say about the differences between the two lines, including who they’re designed for, what you should expect from their performance, and the importance of Greenworks’ retail relationship with Walmart.
Engineering to a Higher Expectation
Standard Greenworks 24V power tools are built with DIYers in mind. Because they use batteries that are fully cross-compatible with Greenworks 24V lawn care equipment, this platform can cover all of your project, home repair, maintenance, and lawn care needs.
But Greenworks 24V Pro power tools are built for professional tradesmen, establishing themselves as a competitive high-performance option available at a much lower price.
Greenworks 24V Battery Advantages
Greenworks already had a solid foundation, building from their 24V battery system. These 24V batteries use rows of 6 lithium cells, while 18V and 20V systems only use rows of 5. That extra lithium cell makes a difference – a 20% increase in the number of cells directly equates to 20% more available power and 20% longer runtimes.

Better still, the same 24V batteries powering Greenworks 24V power tools and lawn care equipment are 100% compatible with the new 24V Pro power tools.
There is, however, a technology upgrade that tradesmen should pay close attention to. New Greenworks 24V tabless batteries have much lower electrical resistance in their connections. This design is engineered to supply more power to the tool and charge much faster without the risk of overheating the batteries or reducing their service life. This is the key that boosts the 24V Pro line to competitive performance levels.

The batteries also have a bi-directional USB-C port built in for charging the battery or use as a power bank to recharge phones or other devices. It’s a practical addition to a pro-grade battery system, giving tradesmen another way to keep essential devices such as phones and tablets powered on the job without requiring a separate battery topper.
Built to Compete in the Big Leagues
In order to attract pros, Greenworks engineers knew they needed to hit higher performance levels – much higher. Their goal is to deliver performance that competes with established professional platforms such as Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel and DeWalt’s XR lines.
A tabless 24V power source is a good start, and the design of the tools takes over from there. Every Greenworks 24V Pro power tool uses a brushless motor, offering significantly higher performance, runtime, and service life than brushed motor alternatives.
The internal components have also been improved to ensure the tools hold up to longer, heavier-duty use than the standard 24V tools. Switches that last hundreds of thousands of cycles, better bearings, and metal gear housings are just a few examples of the durability upgrades in the Greenworks Pro lineup.
Greenworks is confident in the final products. They’re backing them with a 5-year warranty, plus a 3-year battery warranty. They’ve challenged us and pros around the country to use their tools head-to-head against Milwaukee, DeWalt, or whichever brand they’re currently using, and see for themselves how Greenworks holds up on real jobsites.
Greenworks Pro x Walmart
Walmart is the exclusive retail partner for Greenworks 24V Pro power tools. That may seem like an unconventional choice of partner compared to traditional home improvement retailers, but there are some interesting advantages for shoppers.
Walmart is a value-driven retailer, and Greenworks is leaning heavily into the value proposition of its 24V Pro line, so they’re aligned in their business approaches.
Proximity is another consideration. Consider how many Walmart stores are spread across the country; approximately 90% of all Americans are within 10 miles of a Walmart. The same can’t be said for Home Depot, Lowe’s, or Ace Hardware, so there’s a solid argument for convenience given how close Walmart is to most jobsites.
Walmart also offers some of the fastest shipping currently available. For in-store products like power tools and accessories for Greenworks Pro, you can get a delivery within a few hours. In some markets, delivery could take less than an hour. Compared to driving to the closest hardware store yourself or taking one of your crew members off the job, this convenience is compelling.
Ready to Pay Less for Your Power Tools?
The message Greenworks wants you to hear loud and clear is that they believe you should pay for performance, not a name.
Greenworks isn’t asking pros to take performance claims on faith. The company is challenging users to put 24V Pro tools head-to-head with Milwaukee, DeWalt, and other premium pro brands on real jobsites. What Greenworks wants users to experience—and how it intends to win them over—is the same competitive performance and professional-grade quality, available at far lower prices.
Keep in mind that Greenworks has more than just power tools on its 24V platform. The same batteries power 200+ total products, from lawn and garden tools to speakers, work lights, vacuums, and lifestyle products. As you consider using Greenworks 24V Pro power tools to earn your paycheck, remember that one compatible 24V battery platform extends well beyond the jobsite, powering tools across work, home, lawn care, and everyday life.
