DeWalt is one of the biggest names in tools not just because of the power and quality of its products, but because of its diverse range of equipment. Mechanics, plumbers, woodworkers, electricians, and other tradespeople can all shop the brand for some of their essential gear, and so can DIYers who like to try a little of everything. DeWalt also caters to construction and concrete jobs, with hand tools, power tools, and heavy-duty equipment for masonry, drywall, concrete, and carpentry applications.
Plus, DeWalt is continuously adding new products to its catalog, including in those categories. Some of these latest tools and equipment were seen in Las Vegas earlier this year at the World of Concrete expo. Major tool brands used the convention to announce new products, many of which would be available later this year. The show was the place to be if you wanted to get early looks at new Makita, Bosch, and Milwaukee construction tools coming in 2026.
DeWalt was also there, allowing sneak peeks at similar products, including some that are already available. The brand even showcased one particular piece of construction equipment that is perhaps its most advanced and futuristic yet — and possibly its most controversial. Other upcoming devices are more conventional and still use the same battery platforms as current DeWalt power tools. Here are five new DeWalt tools for construction and concrete jobs that are or will be available in 2026.
DeWalt Powershift 1⅛-inch Hex Demolition Hammer
DeWalt makes several powered rotary and demolition hammers that construction and concrete workers can find plenty of use for, but for really serious work, the brand is introducing a new demolition hammer that dwarfs even its most powerful rotary hammer. The upcoming DeWalt Powershift 1⅛-inch Hex Demolition Hammer (model DCPS966) can produce up to 45 joules of impact energy, despite being completely cordless. For comparison, the DeWalt 60V 2-inch SDS MAX Rotary Hammer (model DCH775X2) generates 19.4 joules.
By that metric alone, it's easy to see how the new DeWalt demo hammer is well suited for heavy-duty applications on the jobsite. It may not provide the rotational force of a rotary hammer, but because the tool delivers what DeWalt describes as "colossal power," that's not much of a drawback. It's built with an all-metal barrel and housing, enabling the tool to withstand its own force during use and enhance its durability. As a new addition to the DeWalt Perform & Protect tool line, it's also engineered with DeWalt's vibration-reducing technology so users can wield more control and operate it more comfortably.
Other features include wireless tool control, which means that the hammer can sync with the DeWalt 60V Max Cordless Dust Extractor (model DCV585) or DeWalt 10-gallon Dust Extractor (DWV015). When synced, the hammer will automatically and remotely activate these accessories as it runs, for seamless dust extraction as concrete and other materials are smashed to bits. The DeWalt Powershift 1⅛-inch Hex Demolition Hammer is set to release this spring and can also be bundled with two Powershift batteries and a charger.
DeWalt Powershift 12-inch Cut-Off Saw
The new DeWalt Powershift 12-inch Cut-Off Saw (model DCPS612AG2) is nothing like the 20V XR Cordless 3-inch Cut-Off Tool (model DCS438B), which is already available. Sure, they have the same general function, but the sheer size and power of the new Cut-Off Saw make it a totally different beast made for much, much heavier-duty applications. In fact, DeWalt says its new tool is the most powerful cordless cut-off saw in the industry, among both battery- and gas-powered models.
With such power, DeWalt's cut-off saw will be very handy for construction jobs when it comes to cutting through concrete, rebar, ductile iron, and other hard materials. It's built to make cuts up to 4 ¾ inches deep thanks to its gear-driven engineering. The tool is trigger-controlled and powered by the generous voltage delivered by DeWalt's Powershift battery, which enables it to make up to 156 cuts in #5 rebar or slice up to 8 linear feet of concrete on a single charge. Plus, it can do so without the very loud operational noise or noxious fumes that come with gas-powered equipment.
The DeWalt Powershift 12-inch Cut-Off Saw features integrated base wheels that allow for setting optimal cutting angles and quick adjustments. It's also equipped with an electric brake that can stop its blade in three seconds once the trigger is released. The tool will be available in the fall and will come bundled with two Powershift batteries and a charger.
DeWalt 20V Max XR Concrete Chemical Sprayer
Not all construction and concrete tools are made for smashing, cutting, and breaking. A good sprayer is usually needed to efficiently dispense coatings, cleaning solvents, surface retardants, and curing compounds, among other liquids. That's why one of the new DeWalt products coming out in 2026 that aren't power tools is the DeWalt 20V Max XR Concrete Chemical Sprayer (model DCCS1100B). The cordless sprayer can deliver up to 150 psi of spray pressure and is equipped with 10 speeds of flow rate that can be easily adjusted, allowing users to set the right spray for a given application.
Its highest speed is 0.8 gallons per minute, allowing the sprayer to perform many of the tasks required when it comes to concrete spraying. Adding to its versatility is the ability to swap out different nozzle types, six of which come with the tool: adjustable brass, jet stream, large flow 33-degree, medium flow 42-degree, small flow 62-degree, and foaming. It can hold four gallons, but users can bear that weight on their back thanks to its backpack design, which includes high-visibility strips for safer use on the jobsite.
The battery-powered sprayer has a range of 37 feet and can cover up to 10,000 square yards — or 70 gallons — per charge. It's also compatible with DeWalt's Tool Connect technology for tracking and managing equipment. Unlike many other DeWalt tools planned for a 2026 debut, the DeWalt 20V Max XR Concrete Chemical Sprayer is already available, having launched earlier this year (though it's not in stock everywhere just yet). It's priced at $399 and includes the sprayer wand and six nozzles, but it does not come with 20V Max batteries or a charger at that price.
DeWalt 20V Max XR 21-degree Plastic Collated Duplex Nailer
One brand new tool from DeWalt, the 20V Max XR 21-degree Plastic Collated Duplex Nailer (model DCN910B), is very similar to another product — the brand's 20V Max XR 21-degree Plastic Collated Framing Nailer (DCN920B). Unlike framing nails, which generally have more use thanks to their smaller heads and thinner shafts, DeWalt's new tool is perfect for workers who utilize duplex nails on the jobsite.
Duplex nails are designed for temporary construction, like scaffolding. A duplex nail features a second head along its shaft, which makes it much easier to remove when a structure is no longer needed, but also makes use in standard nailers an issue. According to DeWalt, its 20V Max XR 21-degree Plastic Collated Duplex Nailer is the lightest battery-powered duplex nailer to date and is up to three times faster than hammering nails by hand.
The tool utilizes active flywheel technology and contact actuation for rapid delivery with less ramp-up time between shots, and includes field-serviceable springs and a driver blade for less maintenance. It features an integrated rafter hook for storage, tool-free depth adjustment for driving nails, and dry fire lockout so you know when to reload, and its magazine is high-strength magnesium for increased durability. Just remember that if you want it to last as long as possible, you shouldn't oil your DeWalt cordless nailer.
In addition to the duplex nailer, DeWalt also announced two new products coming out in 2026 that are compatible with the tool — collated 8D and 16D nails. Both nail types and the duplex nailer hit shelves earlier this year and are available now — the tool is $499.
Autonomous Downward Drilling Robot
Along with hammers, saws, and nailers, DeWalt's also got something more outlandish coming: an AI-controlled robot. The company has already showcased its autonomous downward drilling robot, which is expected to be available commercially sometime this summer or late spring. This is a compact wheeled vehicle that designed to work as part of a fleet with others of the same type.
Using a fleet of autonomous bots, which can drill 10 times faster than what's typical, contractors can speed up construction significantly. According to DeWalt, which has partnered with August Robotics, its robots have reduced construction timelines by 80 weeks across 10 different data center projects. Data centers seem to be the current focus for DeWalt's fleet, as each new facility requires a ton of construction work and the number of new ones being built is skyrocketing. Autonomous downward drilling robots are suited for these projects in particular because there's a lot of open floor space and they can methodically make holes for server rack installations and structural legs for overhead electrical, plumbing, and mechanical infrastructure.
Currently testing the machines through a pilot program, DeWalt says its robots have achieved 99.97% accuracy across over 90,000 holes. It's not completely new technology either, as the black and yellow robots share some DNA with much simpler DeWalt power tools, including anti-vibration and dust control features. Construction workers shouldn't fear for their jobs just yet, as these robots only perform the one function, allowing for faster setup so that engineers and builders can start the real work.
