I have owned these; Ridgid JobMax Dremel MM45 Bosch PS50 Bosch MX30 Milwaukee 2626 Milwaukee 2426 My dad recently went to buy a multi tool last week. I didn't hesitate about which one to recommend. He purchased the MX30 per my recommendation. I've never used a fein.

Congrats!

I got mine for $179 at Lowes. Thanks. Is the makita an X2?

I go to lowes all the time. The only reason I go there is because lowes is 5 mins away and Home Depot is 30 mins. I wish they would build a Home Depot closer to me.

The EGO is a 2ah 56v battery and the DeWalt has a 5ah 20v. I also think there is some runtime gains with being able to easily feather the trigger on the DeWalt. With the EGO you end up running it at one speed and hitting the turbo button for a boost.

The EGO sold on eBay. Now I just have the DeWalt and Stihl.

I had to travel up to IN this week for work. I came home and found that that my wife had been using the Dewalt blower. She had cleaned off our back porch and drive way. That had never happened with the EGO. I asked what she thought and she said it worked great. I asked if she liked how the controls worked and she said it just seemed natural. I had tried to get her to use the EGO before and she hated the trigger and controls. She commented on how light the DeWalt felt. If that's not a huge recommendation I don't know what it.

We have the same philosophy. I just don't understand people that trash their tools.

Let us how you like the imperial blades. I've been using Bosch blades myself.

Kruton, Did you ever pick up a colt? I bought a PR20EVS eBay for $45 shipped. It came in yesterday. I like it. I threw a round over bit in it and tried it out on a scrap of wood. It seems like it's just what I was looking for.

@ ProToolNut. Don't forget you have to mix gas and oil for the Stihl 4-Mix 4 strokes. I had a guy the other day argue with me that the Stihl 4-Mix was a two stroke. The only argument he could come up with was you have to mix oil in the gas. I tried to explain that is has valves and makes 4 cycles. It was like arguing with a fence post. We had to just agree to disagree.

Simplicity. Problem with the newer ones is all the crap on them to make them meet EPA requirements.

Sorry to hear that. I would have to take it apart and see what was going on inside.
