Pro Tool News from World of Concrete 2026

We have heard from major tool brands about all of the new tools and technologies they are announcing and showing off at the World of Concrete 2026 event.

While the focus is on tools for masonry work, WOC also serves as a general preview of what’s coming next for professional power tool brands.

This post is intended as a condensed preview post, and I will be discussing the major developments separately.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and which tools you’d like to see prioritized for deeper discussion and potential review opportunities.

Dewalt has announced 4 new tools:

Bosch New Tool Announcements

Bosch has said that they will be launching “60 new products” across different categories.

This includes a new “Expert 18V platform” with new batteries.

They are also launching several cordless outdoor power tools.

Bosch will also be providing some details about their Contractor tool box system.

Bosch has provided images and fact sheets for some of their launches and said that more information will be available at a later time.

Here’s a summary of what I’m seeing so far:

• Bosch L-Boxx Contractor Tool Boxes – “3-Stack” combo with lidded tool boxes
• 18V Expert Batteries in 4 sizes – see our earlier discussion here
• Outdoor power tools (blower, trimmers, chain saws)

Hilti New Tool Announcements

Hilti has said that they will be highlighting many of the new tools and products their influencer partners explored at a hands-on launch event 3 months ago, but that there are no further announcements, innovations, or tools.

Hilti was unable to answer any of our questions about the new ProKit drawer tool boxes or 22V Nuron battery products, but provided reassurance that some information will be shared with us and other media in a couple of weeks.

Johnson Level

Johnson Level has a new level on the way. Full details were not yet available, but they’ll be keeping us in the loop.

Flex Tools

Flex’s 24V Max cordless power tool system seems to have been ejected from Lowe’s stores nationwide, and they seem to have lost their entire USA marketing and PR team.

A savvy Redditor found a online promo page showing off a new Flex 24V Max cordless 9″ cut-off saw that will be launching (somewhere?) later this year.

If you have questions, maybe Flex customer service can help.

Questions? Did I Miss Anything?

Milwaukee, Bosch, and Makita seem to have the most new tools and innovations, although the launch ETAs are spread out a bit. Dewalt “only” announced 4 new products, but that doesn’t mean it’s all they’re coming out with this year.

Did I miss anything?

Do you have any questions?

I have a lot more info that will be going into upcoming posts, and most pro tool brands are willing to answer reasonable questions – stay tuned for more.
