Bauer is beginning to impress me a bit. Lots better than most seem to think

[@clintglasgow5633]

I think harbor freight is stepping up there game

[@kwadlife4106]

I have a bunch of Bauer tools I really like em I haven’t had any problems and they just came out with a 8amp hour battery

[@zacksintheshop]

I am looking forward to trying that battery

Good review, thanks.

My blade keeps popping off when I use it

[@zacksintheshop]

It may not be the proper blade for this machine. Many of the brands have slightly different hole patterns in their blades.

I’m looking at buying this, tools are okay it seems but the batteries are ass. Thankfully they make adapters to use dewalt batteries on this.

[@zacksintheshop]

I need to test them against other batteries. They seem ok but I haven’t done a direct comparison.

That's a mistake right there. Dewalt has their LVCO battery protection circuitry IN their tools, while Bauer has them in the BATTERY itself. Do the math. If you don't know what LVCO is, acquaint yourself. I have first hand experience with this matter, with the Bauer fogger, using an adaptor for my dewalts. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by Bauer batteries being "ass", but all mine have held up great, and the new 8ah is really really nice so far.

@@johnadams3800 I’ve been running these with adapters for months now zero issues with daily use. Other Bauer tools too.

@edwardoavila7666 i ran one of my dewalts down and killed it doing this. The tool then locked the batteries out. I had thought that the fogger had simply gave up the ghost... the dewalts ran on the adaptors in the fogger, albeit with weird delays between the pump actuator and the fan coming on (which I thought was how the tool just normally functioned), and they ran like that until I ran one dewalt battery down to zero. After charging them both back up, the fogger would not turn on at all. That's when i took it to HF, figuring to swap for another. In a lark, I asked if they had a charged up Bauer battery so i could test it, and not only did the fogger run, but it ran properly, and a fair bit better to boot. Then i swapped the dewalts back in, and same results as before... the tool refused to run at all. I supposed it's just a word of caution based on first hand evidence. Try running one down an the way and see if that same thing happens to you... I'd be curious to know.
