There's nothing quite like starting up a new DIY project and having the exact tool you need on hand. As a result, for many weekend DIYers, keeping a well-stocked tool collection also means staying up to date on the latest releases. EGO is one of largest tool manufacturers in the world, and they have a variety of new tools to explore, from specialized gadgets like a chain saw to general everyday functional items like an inflator or wet/dry vacuum.

When finding the right tool for you, it's important to think about how it could be used in your day-to-day life. After all, you don't want to pick up a string trimmer if you have absolutely no plans of tackling landscaping in the future — especially if your goal is to declutter your garage tool kit. Comparing competing brands, reading customer reviews, and looking at key specifications can help you decide whether a new tool deserves a place in your toolbox or shed, whether it's EGO's turbo charger or its trimmer and blower kit.

Whether you tackle DIY projects regularly or just like handling the occasional household task yourself, an inflator can be a versatile tool to have on hand. And, with a portable option like the POWER+ Compact Inflator, you can take it on the go, making it useful for everything from inflating bicycle tires at home to serving as a backup plan for a flat tire on a road trip

What helps the POWER+ inflator stand out compared to other travel options, such as the RYOBI ONE+ Cordless Inflator, is that it includes several different functions. While it does offer the high pressure inflation mode, which can be used on air mattresses, inflatable pools and floats, tires, and sports balls, that isn't its only feature. It also includes a deflation mode for quickly packing away air mattresses and other inflatables, along with a removable magnetic light featuring three different color settings. As a result, this new EGO tool could be a smart pick for DIYers looking for a versatile addition to their toolkit.

The POWER+ compact inflator is available from a variety of online retailers, with an average listing price of around $149. One Amazon reviewer wrote, "This thing is amazing! While it doesn't inflate tires as quickly as the Milwaukee 18v it has a lot more features and is in a nicer package." Another reviewer said this about the results: "I've been very happy with the EGO 160 PSI Compact Inflator. It's easy to use, the pressure gauge seems accurate, and the auto shutoff works great."

If you're an avid DIYer, then you may be familiar with the fact that there's a common mistake that could reduce your power tool's battery life: using an incompatible charger. The last thing you want when you're in the middle of a project is for your drill or other power tool to die. That's one reason the new POWER+ 700W Turbo Charger earns a spot among EGO's top new tools.

The charger is compatible with all EGO POWER+ 56V ARC Lithium batteries and features a battery management system that monitors both charge levels and temperature for safer charging. This helps reduce the likelihood of overheating batteries, a safeguard that can help extend the life of your power tools in the long-run. The POWER+ Turbo Charger is also designed for faster charging, with charge times ranging from about 25 to 75 minutes, depending on the battery. As a result, DIY enthusiasts may appreciate the ability to pivot back into their project sooner.

Like many of EGO's new tools, the POWER+ Turbo Charger is available through a variety of retailers, where it typically sells for around $199.99. One reviewer on Amazon said that this charger is "the real deal" and that it "juices up [their] EGO batteries faster than [they] expected." They also note that it's "built solid, easy to use, and the fan keeps everything cool even when charging the big batteries."

A good wet/dry vacuum can handle everything from everyday buildup like lint and pet hair to cleaning vehicles and tidying up after DIY projects that leave your workspace covered in sawdust. As a result, EGO'S POWER+ 3-Gallon Compact Wet/Dry Vacuum also earned a spot on this list of new EGO tools DIYers should know about.

The POWER+ vacuum is a cordless option, which makes it easy for keeping on hand after projects or even traveling with. While it's a great choice for avid DIYers, it's also useful for everyday tasks, whether you're cleaning up pet messes or bringing a versatile vacuum along for the ride. It offers up to 90 minutes of runtime and includes a wireless remote that lets you start or stop the vacuum even when it's out of reach.

The  vacuum comes with several attachments, including a crevice nozzle with an optional brush and a utility nozzle. If you're trying to clean a larger workspace after a DIY, then you likely want a wet/dry vacuum that includes a large hose for easy reach. The vacuum also includes a 7-foot hose for added reach. You can find the EGO POWER+ Wet/Dry Vacuum at a variety of online retailers, where it typically sells for around $249.99.

When you think of DIY projects, weekend activities like woodworking or car repairs probably come to mind. However, DIYs can also refer to those less frequent landscaping chores that you like tackling yourself, such as trimming the hedges or maintaining and cleaning your gutters. If those are more your style of DIY projects, you'll likely want a variety of tools on hand. While EGO offers several new individual tools beneficial to DIYers, there is also the new POWER+ String Trimmer and Blower Combo that includes a 15-inch string trimmer and 530 CFM blower with a typical pricing of $289.

Looking at each tool individually, the cordless string trimmer features a telescoping shaft for easy height adjustments and is designed to make string replacement more beginner-friendly than some competing models. Replacing the string on the POWER+ string trimmer involves inserting the line into the trimmer's head then pressing a button. With a 15-inch swath, the POWER+ trimmer is considered a larger option. That makes it a good choice for tackling larger landscaping projects.

The blower included in this combo kit is also a cordless option, reaching airspeed up to 100 miles per hour. The speed is adjustable, with typical adjustments ranging from 260 to 400 CFM and a turbo mode that reaches 530 CFM. That makes it useful for clearing leaves, grass, and clippings left behind by the trimmer as well as heavier debris leftover after your latest DIY.

While a chainsaw may seem like a tool that's only useful for cleaning up fallen trees after a storm, it can also come in handy for a variety of garden DIY projects. For example, you can carefully use a chainsaw to repurpose an old wood log into a light feature for your backyard. While it may not be as precise as smaller options, an 18-inch chainsaw like the POWER+ 18-inch Chain Saw can be beneficial for larger, heavier duty projects that need the extra power.

EGO's POWER+ Chainsaw is a cordless electric model that the company says delivers performance comparable to a 50cc gas-powered chainsaw. It features an LED display that lets you monitor battery life and adjust the chainsaw's speed, giving you more flexibility depending on the project you're tackling. It also has an indicator that shows whether the chain brake is engaged. The POWER+ chainsaw is currently priced around $449.00 at most retailers where it is available. If you're wondering how that compares to similar options, ECHO's 18-inch 50.2cc Gas Chainsaw currently sells for about $669 at The Home Depot. It offers a similar bar length and engine class, though it relies on a gas-powered engine instead.
