Best New DeWalt Tools

20V Max Atomic Multi-Head Drill DCD803

DeWalt DCD803

The DeWalt 20V Max Atomic Multi-Head Drill delivers versatile performance for a wide range of drilling and fastening tasks by combining four quick-change heads with a compact, powerful brushless motor. It includes a 1/2-inch chuck, 1/4-inch hex driver, right-angle, and offset attachments that snap on and off in seconds, letting you adapt to tight or awkward spaces without switching tools.

The secure drop-in attachment system with steel-rod retention ensures fast, reliable transitions between applications, and the included mounting organizer keeps all heads easily accessible.

With two-speed settings up to 1,650 RPM and 16 torque settings, this drill handles standard drilling and driving tasks with controlled power, while the integrated LED work light enhances visibility in dim work areas.

Its compact head and lightweight design make it ideal for installation work like cabinetry, framing, or HVAC jobs where access is limited.

This blend of adaptability and compact power makes it a practical choice for professionals and serious DIYers tackling varied tasks.

Price: $229 bare tool

20V Max Atomic Angle Grinders (DCG400 and DCG402)

DeWalt DCG402

The latest DeWalt Atomic 20V Max Angle Grinders provide cordless freedom and pneumatic-grade performance for your grinding tasks.

While the DCG402 is a lightweight 4 1/2-inch model, the DCG400 is DeWaltโ€™s first cordless 4-inch angle grinder and delivers up to 44% more power than a 0.7 HP pneumatic grinder.

Both models are driven by brushless motors powered by any DeWalt 20V Max or FlexVolt battery. The DCG400 is capable of up to 12,500 RPM with 755 MWO (DCG400), and the DCG40 can hit 11,000 RPMs with 760 MWO. This gives you enough muscle to cut, grind, and prepare materials efficiently.

DeWalt also added a few features that help reduce fatigue and improve your overall safety. DeWaltโ€™s Anti-Rotation System quickly stops the wheel in the event of a stall or bind-up, while the electronic brake stops the wheel in just over 1 second.

Overall, these ergonomic, lightweight grinders allows you to maneuver in confined areas without sacrificing performance. Plus, you get to leave the hoses and compressor in the dust!

DCG400 Price: $299 bare tool, $599 kit

DGC402 Price: $229 bare tool

20V Max Atomic Die Grinders (DCG420 and DCG422)

Just like the angle grinders mentioned above, DeWalt has also released two new compact die grindersโ€” the inline DCG420 and the right angle DCG422.

Both models have four speed modes, ranging from 10,000 RPMs up to 24,500 RPMs. They feature a paddle trigger, brushless motor, LED work lights, DeWaltโ€™s Anti-Rotation system, and a fast electric brake.

The main differences between the two models are the disc orientation and that the DCG422 produces 455 MWO, ten more than the DCG420.

The real draw for these tools are their size and power. DeWalt claims they are 45% smaller than similar battery-powered models, and 53% more powerful than Milwaukeeโ€™s M12 Fuel Right Angle Die Grinder (3485). The lightweight, compact form factor allows for better access in tight spaces, and the cordless freedom means you wonโ€™t have to contend with pesky air hoses.

DCG420 Price: $249 bare, $399 kit

DCG422 Price: TBA, coming soon

1.3 Gallon Xtreme Quiet Air Compressor DXCMS13513US

In my experience, one of my biggest complaints about air compressors is the noise level, especially while working indoors. The DeWalt 1.3 gallon Xtreme Quiet Air Compressor offers reduced noise levels, just 55 dB(A), making it an ideal option for small indoor jobs.

Upping the ante, the compact roll cage design protects vital components, while the brushless motor and oil-free pump deliver long service life with minimal maintenance.

The benefit of this design is that itโ€™s small, compact, and easy to transport. Along with that, the lower noise levels cause less disruption in occupied spaces and is well below OSHAโ€™s threshold of 85 dB(A) for mandatory PPEโ€ฆalthough using earplugs never hurts!

Price: TBA, coming soon

60V Max 10-inch Bike Handle Brush Cutter DCBC581

DeWalt 60V Brush Cutter

Reclaiming overgrown patches of land is no easy task, but the DeWalt 60V 10-inch Bike Handle Brush Cutter aims to make the task a little more manageable. Itโ€™s powered by a strong brushless motor that produces power equivalent to a 36cc gas engine.

DeWalt claims up to 47 minutes of runtime using a 9.0Ah FlexVolt battery (on Eco mode). Moreover, the bike handle design and shoulder strap ensure premium comfort and easy maneuverability.

The benefit of this design is its sheer comfort level and control. This setup allows you to stand in a more upright stance, reducing strain on your arms and lower back. Additionally, there is an LED display that keeps you apprised of vital information, such as battery life, as you work.

Price: $658.99 bare tool
