  1. Oscillating Multitool

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    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.

  9. Cordless blowers - Dewalt 20v vs EGO

    in Outdoor Power Equipment

    Posted

    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.

    I'm a full time carpenter. Work for myself and HAVE to take care of my shit, otherwise I don't make money.

    Few times a year I like to go through all my cordless tools and clean them up, blow all the debris out, lube all the quick locks and chucks, wipe them down etc. just got done doing that this evening.

    We have the same philosophy.

    I just don't understand people that trash their tools.

    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.

  13. Whats the difference? ... Stihl kombi professional , Stihl kombi homeowner

    @ 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.

    . Thanks Jason I emailed them the serial number and it's out of warranty bro :( I'm thinking about mayby picking up a new kit with free tool from HD or should I just try and fix mine?

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

  16. Dewalt 20v Leaf Blower

    in Dewalt

    . C Harris that blower is awesome and congrats I love mine man I use is about twice a week my grass has been growing crazy with the humid weather we've been having over here and the blower works amazing for being a 20v/18v

    Thanks. I'm impressed with it. It's not a substitute for my gas blower but it has really good power.

    I've been surprised just how much I use a cordless blower. I have a lot and a half covered with large hardwood trees. I'm constantly blowing leaves off the driveway. My dog slings mulch out on the concrete. It's nice to be able to just grab up the blower and blow it off.

    I started a thread here with my thoughts on the Dewalt 20v vs the EGO.

  17. Cordless blowers - Dewalt 20v vs EGO

    in Outdoor Power Equipment

    I've had the EGO for a while now and I've been happy with it overall. It doesn't have the power of my little stihl gas blower but it's been handy for small stuff.

    I've been eyeing the new DeWalt blowers for a while now. I debated for a while if I wanted to add another battery platform. I like the design style of the 20v Dewalt better than the 40v. I decided to go ahead and pick one up yesterday.

    I had some time this afternoon to use the Dewalt and EGO back to back. I blew some leaves, hickory nuts, grass clippings.

    Here are my thoughts.

    First of all let discuss power. I know what you are thinking. 56V vs 20V There shouldn't be any comparison, but they are closer than you might imagine. The Dewalt has a little more power than the EGO set on high. The EGO has slightly more power with the turbo button pressed. I used them in the yard and I was able to move about the same size stuff with both blowers.

    Ergonomics go without a doubt to the Dewalt. The variable speed trigger is awesome. Throttle response is great on the Dewalt. The ego has a lengthy delay when you press the trigger. I know this may not seem like a big deal but it is really nice to be able to blow small stuff out of the flower beds then press the trigger and blast stuff off the drive way. On the EGO you have to adjust the speed with your other hand. Balance is also much better on the Dewalt. The EGO balances on the trigger. The trigger is long and placed where you really need to be holding the handle. Maybe it would be better with a bigger battery. I only have the 2AH. It almost feels like you have to drop the front of the blower to release the trigger. If you want to keep the front level you have to really torque the handle. The Dewalt feels natural in your hand.

    The Dewalt 20v is the clear winner for me. Now I just have to stay away from the Dewalt trimmers.

    Anyone want to buy an EGO?

    I wasn't sure how their multi tools stacked up. I was also looking at the corded Bosch and Fein. Sounds like I may wait and find something else to get me into the 18v Mikwaukee line. Right now the OMT is the only tool I have a real need for. Thanks for the info Jason.

    I have the Bosch MX30E. It's an awesome OMT.
