Greenworks targets trade professionals with its expanded 24V Pro cordless platform, offering a new alternative in the competitive UK power tool market.
Greenworks is making a direct push into the professional trade market with its updated 24V Pro lineup. Known primarily for garden power equipment, the manufacturer is leveraging its 24V lithium-ion battery technology to power a broader range of cordless trade tools. The system aims to bridge the gap between high-end DIY gear and heavy-duty industrial equipment, delivering higher voltage output than standard 18V platforms while maintaining a compact form factor.
The updated 24V Pro range utilises advanced cell management to maximise runtime and deliver consistent power delivery under load. By stepping up from the industry-standard 18V architecture to 24V, Greenworks claims the system delivers increased torque and faster application speeds without adding significant weight to the tool body. The batteries feature built-in electronic monitoring to prevent overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during heavy site use.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for? For tradespeople already heavily invested in established 18V battery platforms from brands like DeWalt, Makita, or Milwaukee, switching to a new 24V platform requires a clear financial advantage. Greenworks often positions its tools at a more competitive price point compared to premium trade brands available at major outlets like Screwfix and Toolstation. Buyers should consider whether adding a secondary charger and battery ecosystem to their van is worth the reduced initial outlay, or if sticking to a single battery system remains the more practical long-term strategy.
When reviewing options for replacing worn-out tools, test the balance and physical weight of 24V units alongside traditional 18V alternatives. While the extra power is beneficial for demanding tasks, platform compatibility across your existing kit remains the primary factor in managing overall tool costs.
