I recently spent a day with dozens of other media folks and construction pros, trying out the new Greenworks PowerAll 24-volt tool system. The new power tool line boasts three key selling points that should not be ignored: a stronger battery platform, better entry-level tool quality, and very competitive pricing on pro-quality tools that perform on par with top brands.
The core of the new Greenworks AllPro ecosystem is its newly designed 24-volt lithium-ion battery. These batteries deliver 20 percent more power and longer run time per charge compared to 18V and 20V systems. They feature tabless cell technology that enables faster charging, higher output, and a longer working life. They also include two-way USB-C ports, so they can double as a portable power bank.
If you need new tools, whether you are a first-time homeowner or construction veteran, the Greenworks PowerAll system can help. The new system includes 200-plus items in the “Greenworks” residential-grade and “Greenworks Pro” pro-grade product lines, all equipped with powerful, efficient brushless motors. They weigh less, run longer, and offer more operating power than tools with brushed motors. Below are some of my favorites from the recent testing event.
Key Takeaways
- Powerful new battery platform. Greenworks’ 24V lithium-ion batteries offer 20% more power and longer run time, with USB-C ports for versatile charging.
- Wide range of tools. Over 200 items in the Greenworks system, featuring efficient brushless motors for enhanced performance.
- Competitive pricing and quality. Pro-grade tools at affordable prices, performing on par with top brands.
- Versatile and user-friendly features. Tools include innovative designs like auto speed settings and multi-use capabilities.
Bottom line: Greenworks’ new 24V PowerAll system delivers powerful, versatile tools with competitive pricing, ideal for both homeowners and pros.
Dual Purpose Power Source and Charger

This battery and charger kit features a 100-watt USB-C braided charging cable and a 65-watt GAN multi-port charging hub. Incredibly, thanks to the battery’s two-way USB-C port, it doesn’t even need a Greenworks tool to be useful. Use it to charge your phone, laptop, Bluetooth speaker, and other small devices on the go. The charging block senses the attached device and automatically optimizes output for fast and safe charging.
Cordless Drill/Driver

A homeowner’s first power tool is almost always a drill/driver, and you would be hard-pressed to find a better balance of weight and power than this one. It offers lightweight maneuverability and features a single sleeve ratcheting chuck for quick, secure bit handling. Switch to either low speed (450 RPM) or high speed (2,000 RPM) for optimum torque and control. The kit comes with a 2 Ah USB-C Battery, 30W charger, and 100W cable.
Professional Impact Driver

In our tests, this pro-series impact driver consistently drove heavy-duty 6-inch timber screws flush into pressure-treated wood in less than 3 seconds. It had more than enough torque to go bigger if needed, and the soft slip-resistant rubber overmolded grip felt comfortable in hand. The kit includes a 2 Ah battery, 100W cable, and 65W multi-port charger.
Professional Circular Saw

I used this cordless circular saw to crosscut a pressure-treated 6×6 timber about 10 times. Another tester ripped the full length of the 8-foot timber. Both cuts went fast and smooth at full blade depth. As with the rest of the Greenworks Pro line, this one was loaded with premium performance and convenience features: a magnesium shoe and blade guard, an LED worklight, an integrated rafter hook, and more.
Professional Angle Grinder

Just a few passes with this grinder will put a fresh edge on a lawn mower blade, and it will cut a 1 ½-inch angle iron in seconds. As you might expect with a professional model, this one comes with a removable auxiliary handle, an inertia blade brake, and a tool-free wheel guard adjustment system—all for well under $100 for the bare tool.
Professional Recip Saw

The rugged build quality was the first thing that stood out about this pro-grade reciprocating saw. It had a nice “weightiness” to it, and all of the moving parts moved with smooth accuracy. The rubber overmold and anti-vibration system made operation a breeze whether it was cutting nail-riddled lumber, steel pipe, or schedule 40 PVC.
Professional Multi-Tool

The oscillating tool had one of my favorite features: an auto speed setting controlled by an on/off thumb switch and a max speed dial. The tool instantly reacts by increasing power output as cutting resistance increases. That, combined with a magnetic blade interface and controls positioned above the handle, allows for easy operation at any angle.
Compact Blower

At a glance, this tool looks more like a drill than a blower, but the unusual appearance belies a well-balanced design. The compact size makes it a quick and easy solution for cleanup in tight spaces around the house, garage, or workshop, with more than enough blow force to deal with piles of sawdust, dirt, and leaves. The kit includes a 3 Ah battery, 100W charging cable, and 30-amp charger.
Portable Power Station

Two things I appreciate are multi-use tools and value pricing. This power station checks both boxes, first as a convenient and affordable source of stable power for portable electronic devices, whether for work, tailgating, camping, or whatever. It offers 500 watts of pure sine wave output through seven outlets, with an LCD screen for input/output monitoring. Second, it’s a great way to add four 4 Ah batteries to a Greenworks tool collection.
