DeWalt showcased some of its latest tools and equipment for construction and concrete jobs at the World of Concrete expo in Las Vegas earlier this year.

The new lineup signals a continued push by the manufacturer into high-demand, heavy-duty applications traditionally dominated by corded or gas-powered equipment. For professionals on site, the announcements point toward more powerful battery-operated options for concrete demolition, cutting, and finishing. According to a report from SlashGear, five new DeWalt tools for these specific trades are slated for release by 2026, expanding the cordless job site ecosystem.

What We Know So Far

  • Some of DeWalt's newest tools and equipment were displayed at the World of Concrete convention in Las Vegas, an event major brands use to announce new products.

DeWalt's Latest Concrete Tool Innovations and Features

From my perspective on the job site, the most significant barrier to going fully cordless has always been having enough power for the heaviest tasks, particularly in concrete work. The tools DeWalt previewed appear to directly address this challenge. The new Powershift line, in particular, aims to deliver performance that rivals or exceeds legacy corded models, providing a new level of freedom and efficiency.

A key product in this launch is the Powershift 1⅛-inch Hex Demolition Hammer (DCPS966). According to AOL.com, this tool is engineered to produce up to 45 joules of impact energy, a figure that places it firmly in the territory of heavy-duty corded breakers. DeWalt describes the performance as "colossal power," targeting applications like breaking up concrete slabs, asphalt, and heavy demolition. The cordless design eliminates the need for generators or long extension cords, which are common safety hazards and logistical hurdles on busy construction sites. Its spring release is highly anticipated by crews specializing in demolition and renovation.
