Best New Tools Announced for Spring 2026
Milwaukee M8 Fuel 10 1/4-inch Rear-Handle Circular Saw
The M18 Fuel 10 1/4-Inch Rear Handle Circular Saw is the largest circular saw in Milwaukee’s cordless lineup. Engineered with professional carpenters, remodelers, and general contractors in mind, its has a max cutting depth of 3 13/16 inches at 90°. This allows it to power through 4x lumber in a single pass!
This saw reaches speeds of up to 3250 RPM, and using a 12.0Ah Forge battery, can deliver up to 250 cuts per charge in 4×4 material. For safety, this saw also features Milwaukee’s AutoStop kickback control system and a strong electric brake to quickly bring its thick-kerf blade to a halt.
Price: TBA, available June 2026
Ryobi 18V One+ Brushless 10-inch Chainsaw
Larger than a pruning saw, yet smaller than a full-length model, the Ryobi 10-inch chainsaw can tackle limbs and branches up to 8 inches in diameter. Using a 4.0Ah battery, Ryobi says it delivers up to 70 cuts per charge, ideal for storm cleanup on small to medium-sized properties or fall trimming. This is the third-generation 10-inch chainsaw on Ryobi’s One+ system, and it offers speeds up to 30% faster than the previous model, the P2502.
It’s equipped with most of the features we like to see even in larger chainsaws, like a variable speed trigger, an auto-oiler, and a mechanical chain brake. For chain tensioning, Ryobi went with a tooled system, and it includes a scrench that conveniently stores onboard the tool.
If you’re in need of a smaller chainsaw for limbing and trimming trees around your property but don’t want to go all the way down to a pruning saw, the PBLCW01 is a model worth considering for existing One+ users.
Price: $179 bare, $229 kit with 4.0Ah battery and charger
Next-Gen EGO Power+ 56V e-Steer Z6 Zero-Turn 42-inch Riding Mower
We reviewed EGO’s first iteration e-Steer riding mower when it first hit residential lawns a few years back, and were impressed with its easy learning curve. Now, there’s a new version hitting the scene, as well as two more standard-controlled ZTs, as EGO expands its zero-turn lineup.
It still features the intuitive e-Steer wheel that makes learning to use a zero-turn mower a breeze. It also still has a 42-inch deck, three mowing modes, and max blade speeds of 3200 RPM in its strongest performance mode.
The main difference is the power. The original model produces the equivalent of 22 horsepower, while the new version bumps that up to 24 HP. 2 horsepower might not sound like a big deal, but it makes a difference when you’re plowing through thick areas of grass that are getting overgrown. For those of us with St. Augustine lawns, we’ll take it.
The battery loadout may seem a little odd with two 10Ah and four 6Ah batteries (the original came with four 12Ah packs). But if you look below the surface, those are much easier to pull double-duty in your handheld tools, especially blowers, if you don’t need the full 2-acre runtime.
Price: $5,799 kit with two 10.0Ah batteries, four 6.0Ah batteries, and charger
Bosch 18V Outdoor Power Equipment
In early 2026, Bosch announced several new outdoor power equipment solutions joining its 18V battery platform. The lineup targets homeowners, which is a departure from the Pro-focused Bosch 18V tools in the North American market but very much in line with what we’ve seen from them in Europe. So far, the roster includes many of the handheld products you need to keep your lawn in shape this spring.
There are currently seven tools in the lineup, including:
- Bosch 18V String Trimmer
- Bosch 18V 24-inch Hedge Trimmer
- Bosch 18V 20-inch Pole Hedge Trimmer
- Bosch 18V 8-inch Pruning Saw
- Bosch 18V 10-inch Pole Saw
- Bosch 18V Blower
- Bosch 18V 16-inch Chainsaw (available summer 2026)
Along with these tools, Bosch released its Expert tabless batteries, which follow the tabless trend we’ve seen recently in batteries from other tool brands. Each of the new OPE pieces are kitted with the new battery, offering more runtime and higher performance than standard packs.
Price: Varies
Greenworks Commercial 82V Optimus HogSaw 28-inch Chainsaw
Greenworks Commercial has a slew of new 82V products, making the Optimus line the most complete gas-replacement option for Pro landscapers and arborists. In the case of the 82V H.O.G (High Output Gasless) chainsaw, it has equivalent power to an 80cc gas-powered model, and is the strongest battery-powered chainsaw we’ve seen.
The chainsaw has 20-inch, 24-inch, and 28-inch bar and chain configurations, letting you take on virtually any felling task with its massive 26-inch cut capacity. Its commercial-grade brushless motor also produces chain speeds of up to 98 ft/s, which is faster than any other cordless model we’ve reviewed. The speed, combined with the 80cc equivalent motor, produces legitimately impressive cutting performance.
For professionals looking to ditch the gas can and maintenance of their current chainsaw, the Greenworks Commercial H.O.G chainsaw makes it easier than ever to match or surpass your gas unit’s performance.
Price: $1,699 – $1,879 kit with Core530 battery and charger
Ridgid 18V Subcompact 1/4-Sheet Sander
A few years back, Ridgid released its subcompact 18V lineup of tools, and their size-to-performance ratio really impressed our team. While Ridgid is no stranger to woodworking products, the 1/4-sheet sander is the first SubCompact-branded option. For productivity, you’re looking at a six-speed brushless motor that provides oscillating speeds of up to 12,000 OPM and a 1/16-inch orbit diameter.
Compared to its Octane predecessor, the top speed levels around 2000 OPM less, but in our review, that didn’t really affect the real-world performance. Where Ridgid really improved was vibration. This model’s foam backing pad and internal dampening system absorb vibration while you work, supporting Ridgid’s claims of 50% less vibration.
For Pros and serious DIYers, this model offers a solid update to the SubCompact line, prioritizing comfort and usability without sacrificing performance.
Price: $139 bare, $149 kit with 2.0Ah battery and charger
Hilti SCT 60-22 Cordless Table Saw
The Hilti SCT 60-22 is the brand’s first cordless table saw, and we saw it debut at World of Concrete earlier this year. The saw features a 10-inch blade with a 3.5-inch cutting depth at 90°, or 2 3/8-inch at 45°.
One configuration of the SCT 60-22 also includes a folding trolley for easy transport and setup. The 55-pound tool body makes it easier for Pros to pack and unpack it into their work truck or van. Plus, the cordless design means you don’t have to find a power outlet or lug a power station or generator to the jobsite.
Price: $999 bare, $1,679 kit with two batteries and a charger
Makita 40V max 20-inch Chainsaw
Another brand launching its largest chainsaw in 2026 is Makita, with the 40V max XGT 20-inch chainsaw. Its brushless motor produces as much power as, and even cuts up to 25% faster than, a 50cc gas model.
This saw has three speed settings, letting you adjust the chain speeds between 0-3937 FPM and 0-5700 FPM. It’s also equipped with an inertia-activated chain brake that stops the chain’s rotation when you complete a cut. Plus, a 5-minute auto power-off function helps to prevent accidental activation while conserving your battery.
Kitted with an 8.0Ah High Power battery, Makita tells us this configuration delivers up to 35% more power compared to the standard 8.0Ah pack. At $1,349, this is definitely a tool aimed at professionals. If you’re on Makita’s 40V max XGT platform and you’ve been waiting for a larger model, the GCU08 is currently the largest the brand has to offer.
Price: $799 bare, $1,349 kit with 8.0Ah High Power battery and charger
DeWalt 20V Atomic Extended Reach Ratchet
DeWalt has released two new extended reach ratchets on its Atomic 20V platform. They’re the extended-reach iterations of DeWalt’s 20V Atomic cordless ratchets released back in 2023, featuring a brushless motor and driving torque levels up to 70 ft-lbs.
Their longer necks give them better reach within tight engine bays, at 18 inches in length. That’s three inches more than the standard-reach models, giving auto techs the advantage with deeper bolts.
Interestingly, the heads are noticeably larger than a standard manual ratchet, at around 1.5 inches wide and 1.7 inches (3.8-inch model) and 1.9 inches (1/2-inch model) deep. The directional knob is also a bit on the larger side, making it easier to manipulate while wearing work gloves.
Price: $239 bare
Stihl BRA 280 Battery-Powered Backpack Blower
The Stihl BRA 280 backpack blower is launching this spring, offering a nice balance between power and size. Stihl says it’s 25% more powerful than the new BRA 200 blower, reaching up to 571 CFM of airflow and 26 N of blowing force at the top end. With two AP 300 S batteries installed, it still weighs just 24 pounds, most of which is offset onto your shoulders and torso as you work.
Using those batteries, you’ll get up to 25 minutes of runtime per charge, which you can monitor with the handle-mounted HMI display, along with other information, like speed control, service alerts, and more. Plus, this blower features constant power technology, meaning it’ll maintain its full performance for the entire life of the battery.
Price: $650 bare, $1000 kit
