Milwaukee announced many new tools and accessories at World of Concrete 2026, and not just the type you’d expect.
I’m most excited about the new battery charger and Packout expansion, but there are a lot of neat tools and even some surprises.
Milwaukee provided plenty of information about the new tools, even though this is just an advanced teaser about what’s coming later in the year. We’ll be covering a lot of the new tools separately, but for now, here’s a summary of everything that was just announced and demoed at WOC 2026.

New Milwaukee Grinding and Cutting Accessories
Milwaukee is introducing all new-to-them category of abrasive cutting, grinding, and combo wheels.
The new lineup ranges in sizes from 4-1/2″ to 16″, with 3 performance tiers.
Their base tier of accessories are said to deliver long life (up to 2X) and fast material removal. Above that, the Performance+ line is said to deliver up to 5X longer life and faster cuts, thanks to zirconia abrasives. The leading tier, Ceramic+, is said to deliver the fastest cuts, removal (up to 2x faster cutting and material removal), and unmatched productivity.
New Grinder Dust Collection Shrouds
There will be 4 new dust shrouds for use with most Milwaukee angle grinders 4-1/2″ to 9″.
Additional Power Tool Accessories
There will be a new AX SawZall reciprocating saw blade in 6″, 9″, and 12″ lengths. It’s designed for use on wood materials with nails and screws.
According to Milwaukee, it will deliver up to 2X the lift vs blades with standard carbide teeth.
They also gave the Nitrus Carbide treatment to a 6-1/2″ circular saw blade.
Questions?
Please let me know if you have any questions!
A couple of these tools were previously announced at Milwaukee’s Pipeline media event a few months ago, but most were first introduced this week at the World of Concrete 2026 tool show. From what I’ve seen, all of these tools are expected to launch in 2026.
There’s more information that I’ll be working through for individual posts. Full details won’t be available for everything yet, but Milwaukee tends to be very receptive to questions and I’ll try my best to get you some answers.
What’s your favorite from among these upcoming launches? As mentioned, the 4-bay Super Charger and some of the Packout crates are at the top of my list.
MM
I’m hoping that Milwaukee will release a 32mm (1-1/4″) random orbit sander on the M12 platform soon. I want one but I don’t want to buy into another system just for that. Mirka has had them for a while ($$$$), Bosch now has one in their professional 12V line but I haven’t seen one from anyone else. It seems like it would be right in line with Milwaukee’s expansion into the auto body market.
Farmerguy
Really wish for a low profile organizer with internal support s left to right so long items can be placed the length of the organizer (ship auger bits and other long parts). Think deep organizer l, but low profile.
Milwaukee could also up their game making the long low profile organizer bins available for purchase separately. Some things fit only in them and the small bins can’t fit in the center sections. Milwaukee could also venture in assorted bin segmentation like etsy sellers.
Andy
That would be a really cool organizer, I’d buy one to keep my SDS bits under control.
GM
Here, here!
Trevor
Looking forward to more info about wire pulling crate
Peter
I did not see it.
Similar to the Klein one?
Stuart
James
Looks like multiple slots for the shaft. Nice!
zchris87v
I don’t see the advantage to buying this vs. a milk crate, dowel rods, and hitch pin clips. I’ve got a similar setup in my garage, except with eye bolts mounted under a shelf.
Jeff
Compatibility with existing PackOut system. And of course lightening a sparky’s wallet.
Charlie
From many years of experience, and having bought and also built different wire dispensers with the shaft and hitch pin tyoe design . The hitch pins always seem to get knocked off and the shafts get caught on other items while they are in a service truck environment. Having used the packout type crates to hold other items, I think this design wire dispenser could be better for those reasons.
Philip Nielsen
Yes! I’ve been waiting for a 10¼ saw for years. I’m pumped to see it’s on the way
Craig
That’s a mans saw right there! Good to see it don’t come with no junk blade either
fred
Makita introduced a cordless (XGT) version of their 16-5/16-inch beam saw (GSH06Z) and also sell an XGT 10-1/4 top handle sidewinder saw – but good to see Milwaukee catching up.
Last year for gift-giving I was looking for a cordless dual-blade concrete saw in a cordless (rather than engine driven) variant. I settled on a single blade Makita 80V (XGT x 2) saw (GEC01Z) as I could not find any cordless that spins 2 blades. I think that would be something Milwaukee should consider for their MX lineup
MM
I’ve never had a use for those large circular saws personally but I always found it curious that Milwaukee and Dewalt never offered them. Makita has had a corded version of that 16-5/16″ model for decades, and I think that Skil also made corded models, but that’s about it.
Robert
MM, Skil does have the Bigfoot line of huge circ saws. I thought they had a 16 inch saw, but I’m only seeing a 10 and 1/4 inch offered currently.
Mafell has a monster 17 and 11/16 corded saw, but man that puppy is expensive, seven grand and change.
MM
I thought Skil had a 16″ model too, along with a model with a chainsaw bar. They were called the Sasquatch–or maybe Sawsquatch–something similar which fit the “bigfoot” theme.
That Mafell is indeed a monster! 240V and 16 amps is no joke! If that’s a continuous rating it’s a full on 5 HP! Thank you for sharing that, I hadn’t seen that before.
fred
Here is a listing for the Skil – but it is a chain saw attachment to a worm gear saw.
https://www.acmetools.com/skilsaw-16-in-carpentry-chainsaw-spt55-11/039725997890.html
Prazi and others sell an attachment if you already have a worm gear saw. Harbor Freight sells a Hercules one for $80
The Makita chain mortiser that we had – took this concept a step further – mounting the tool in a carriage with a lever that allowed you to plunge the chainsaw into the beam to cut out a mortise. Acme sells that tool (SKU# 7104L) for just under $3000. The Mafell LS 103Ec sells for $3970 in its shortest configuration. The Mafell ZSX Ec/400 Chain Beam Saw sells for $8325
fred
We bought the Makita version (rather than a much pricier Mafell) when timber framing seemed to be getting to be all the rage in our neck of the woods. It was quite a beast to use, and we built a bench specifically for it to help control the cuts. We went with Makita (rather than Mafell) for some other specialized tools (6+ and 12+ inch planes, chain mortiser, sanders etc.) to save cost. We were happy we did – as the timber framing craze turned out to be a flash in the pan for us. We did build some spectacular looking houses and house additions – but customer appetite for the costs (that came with the authentic look) seemed to wane.
Anyway – I can see the cordless beam saw as potentially appealing for cutting timbers for landscaping and outdoor projects.
Paul Baker
We get our 10 1/4” out regularly. Cuts most of our girders and posts in one cut. Saves a ton of time if we got a lot to get through. But it really comes into its own for bevels on 2 1/2” beams in one pass. Not to mention the gang cutting we do with it. We couldn’t live without it.
Andy
I have absolutely no use / need for one, but I sure do want a 10 1/4″ saw haha
Derrick
Bout dang time we got thick Kerf as standard.
Brad Webber
Finally we get the saw we’ve been asking for! Feels like it took forever.
Graeme Cleary
When do pre-orders start for the 4x parallel charger and 10” saw? need need need!
Stuart
Launch ETA is June for both the 4-bay charger and 10-1/4″ circular saw. If everything goes as plans, I’d guess preorders might open a month or so ahead of that, once inventory starts to ship to retailers.
Jason
I like the charger design where you can use M12 OR M18 instead of ports being taken up for dedicated M12 slots for those not on it.
The big circ is a nice addition, obviously geared towards larger size batteries, but I really wonder how it performs if you throw a 5.0 in it.
For the abrasives did they say if that’s a company acquisition? Such a huge category globally just wondered if they’re doing some OEM to have discs or actually going all in
Andy
Yeah, I like the charger design where ports can be used for either M12 or M18, that’s a great setup.
Stuart
I haven’t heard of any acquisition. There are a lot of SKUs in the image gallery.
It’s possible they partnered with an OEM, but Milwaukee typically seems to prefer to keep accessory production in-house with some exceptions. I would guess they expanded their production capabilities in order to support this broad introduction and maybe future expansion into other types of grinder accessories.
TreyTrey
I ain’t gonna replace my Makita 10 1/4” with this. But am happy to know that when it dies I can replace it with one that takes Milwaukee packs.
Robert
Stuart, my question is on the MX FUEL 27 lb SDS MAX demo hammer. FUEL implies to me it’s battery powered. What’s that violent vibration mean for the life span of the batteries? What in their design protects the electronic? In the gear we used to procure, high vibration environments were hard/expensive to design around for reliability and therefore life time cost.
Stuart
That’s a big part of the reason behind the MX Fuel battery form factor and interface. Rather than working with batteries designed for use with cordless drills and other handheld tools, MX Fuel was designed for the demands and vibrations of equipment like this.
This was a big emphasis when the new platform launched a few years ago.
Lastly, yes, MX Fuel is a battery-powered system of light equipment-type tools.
James
I like the Packout expansion.
– low profile crate – meh, but might be handy
– XL crate – yes but I want one even taller, and what I really want is one that is 1.5x the width of a regular crate for long stuff, even as it would obliterate the symmetry of a stack
– compact crate – not bad but I wouldn’t call it a crate really…
– XL wire pulling; I like it and am curious if there’s a spool shaft or if it’s just a few holes in a regular XL crate
Nicholas Ranella
Still waiting on a multi-bay USB lithium charger.. 🤷🏻♂️
Doresoom
Seriously, even Ryobi has one! Their USB-C ports on the batteries are great too. Can be used for charging or as a battery bank and they don’t require you to tie up the tool to recharge.
Jack S
Also soon to be released is 48-73-2510 full frame anti-scratch safety glasses with removable side shields in blue mirrored, mirrored, tinted, clear and brown. Unfortunately, they are not polarized.
Stuart
Thanks! I didn’t see info on that one.
Tanner
Any word on when that MX demo hammer ships?
Stuart
As of now, June 2026.
Adam
Do you know if Nitrus is their marketing speak for PVD coated carbide?
Stuart
So, “Nitrus Carbide” is now a family name, similar to FUEL, that signifies “the best of the category” for Milwaukee power tool accessories. I was told that the exact nature of the carbide technology can vary depending on the product category.
That said, there has been enough talk about the nature and characteristics of different carbide teeth that I don’t think it’s centered around a PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating.
Matthew Luzia
Can u please make a half inch crown sheeting stapler please please please. I have been waiting almost a decade. U make a finishing staplerand a fencing stapler. U are so close. Bosch just made one! I’m a bleed red kinda guy
Dustin Hegland
Milwaukee needs to come out with a cordless metal bracket nailer and a cordless sheathing stapler.
Daniel
I build pergolas that typically use a lot of true 4x and 6x Timbers. I love to see a bigger saw, but will still probably hold out for a 16-5/16. The 10-1/4 only gets 3-3/4 depth at 90, so still won’t get me thru a true 4x in one pass.
Aaron
We need a 21 guage pin nailer . 23 guage nice for glue assisted crown moulding miters and etc.
18 gauge is bigger than needed for shoe mouldings.
Think flooring industry…. New flooring and shoe moulding .
I’m going to buy one from whoever makes one first Dewalt, Makita,or Milwaukee….
In these days of equality and no one left behind… 21 guage nailers matter too….! 😀 😃 🙂
richard
I feel like M18 miter saw is due for a refresh. Reviews on them aren’t bad, but they’re not stellar either. I would like to see a step up in accuracy and quality. The 12in came out in 2019 so it’s been ~7 years.
