It seems to me that for a true test, you should have the same type blades on all of the saws. I would like to see this test again done with the same type of blades.

[@benemeth]

And what did we learn from this? Nothing logic couldn't have told us. Bigger saw + bigger blade = cut faster. This can't be used for comparison sake for mainly two reasons: different user = different pressure on the saw and technique; we don't know which saws were warmed up ahead of time - colder saws have less power. I'm not saying this is a terrible video by any means - thanks for taking the time to post it - I simply wanted to point out that one shouldn't draw conclusions on these saws/blades based on these results.

[@umlax45]

Make your own video then.

[@toddkratzer7953]

I second that on the guy operating the Solo was timid. I knew two seconds in he would lose.

[@andrew5550]

4 strokes will never be first...2 stroke will dominate always...same thing with weed eaters.A2 stroke 250 dirt bike creates almost as much hp as a 450 4 stroke...thats why u can race them together..2 stroke dirt bike will also have twice the torque than a 4 stroke will...guys always think the opposite..dyno it or just google it.True

[@slaviboy]

Oh man, that silica dust hurts me just from watching

[@Distracted_driving_kills]

Guy on the solo has no clue what hes doing

[@patrickfitchjr]

He was being nice to it warming it up. Do you really think they would put a guy that has no clue on a brand new saw in a comp that is supposed to mean something. Sorry leave it to me to be a critic but I am watching the videos making sure I know what I want. Noone seems to be posting anything about the husky K1270. 112 CC saw. I owned a wacker Neuson before they stopped making saws. Hands down best saw I ever ran.

[@freekingawwsome]

Not that thier was any Hilti's That Huskavarna 760 cheaper and faster that's my pick

[@peytonvaughan3027]

No stihls?? lol

[@andrewtiefry5990]

The 16 will always win the extra circumference gives you more cutting capacity and speed by having more Diamond

[@shawnkim4598]

try doing this test over allowing somebody more aggressive to use the solo, the guy who used it is too passive, in addition he started last, he is watching everybody else, it's like waiting for permission. also it would not be a Fair test if all the blades are not the same. as we all know the quality of blades does make a difference.

[@connorfarrell3769]

Shawn kim 7

[@jasonjuelg5596]

The first finisher worked his blade more also

[@dwibudipermana8480]

you are right, there is no any sign or someone who give the instruction when the cutting process would be start so it is clear that the competition not fair enough.

[@TheVera123456]

He put more water in first saw and least in last one.

[@WakeRunSleep]

Did anyone notice the guy on the far left was moving his saw back and forth? Will cut faster.

[@phoenixarizona1628]

That's how you have to do it

[@thedone1342]

Keep convincing myself that I need one but remember i dont do concrete work at all

[@jamestiopira8384]

Should of tested a STIHL

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

I agree. My ts420 blows my brothers K760 husky away. Way more power. Just got a ts700 and its a beast.

[@jadeolin8514]

@@SpYucaipaSoCal I've honestly had the exact opposite experience. We lay concrete storm line everyday and have/use both the ts420 and the hooskie 760/770, everyone goes for the huskies first, every time. They are much lighter and the anti vibe is vastly superior to the stihl. Our jobsite opinions ofc.

[@AgentNathanielGvb-yk5zz]

That’s super scary just the whistle that makes really creeps the GBG be out of me just like instead of Texas chainsaw guy, leather face carrying a chainsaw. He’s carrying a concrete cutter.

[@EPstroker]

Cool test. I kinda figured the larger blade would win.....more surface area to cut with. Never heard of a solo saw. Have ran wacker/husky saws the last 20+yrs. Stihl saws used to have horrible air filter systems (not sure if they have changed their design)and would eat a set of rings pretty quickly so I quit using stihl concrete saws for that reason.

[@patrickfitchjr]

100% Agree with everything you said.

[@LoopHoleize]

Husqvarna 970 holds a 16" blade. While it's still the clear winner, in this test it seems to be turning a larger blade. More cutting surface equals faster cuts. Not a fair demonstration

[@benemeth]

More cutting surface is perhaps one part in it, but to me the largest difference is the edge speed. With a bigger blade rotating at the same RPM (don't actually know if the RPM is the same) the cutting edge will be travelling faster and will therefore remove more material.

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

Its all about power. The more you have the more pressure to the wheels you can apply.

[@winnerbestbuildingdemoliti83]

Pls husqvarna 970 16 inch Motors Indian rate please price

[@newera3757]

I own Husqvarna 16" I use it for concrete slab (cuts from 2 ft long to 100ft) and is really pain to use it. Saw starts in the morning with no problem guys are working for 1h-2h and after that is impossible to start. We have to put this saw on the side and when you will come back to this saw 40 min later sometimes this saw will start sometimes we have to wait a little longer. I own Stihl 14" as well and is working all day no problem. When Husqvarna 16" is working I like this saw better than Stihl. BTW Water "system" fail on my Husqvarna after few months and saw is not even 1year old. We use same ready mix for both saws. One is working all day another half (if we are lucky). In Husqvarna service they told me nothing is wrong because saw starts and they can't help me.

[@alexmatthews2332]

NewEra might want to set the Low carb jet a bit leaner and keep air filter clean. If it's not that it's the coil, I own a tree service and husky saws suck at hot starts/hot weather. They flood most of the time but I've had coil failures as well.

[@thebabbler8867]

Where's Hilti?.. It would've spanked them all.

[@sim_city]

Love hilti

Hilti makes good tools, but not good saws :D

[@andrew5550]

Ive done concrete and masonry 45 yrs i have 5-14" saws...Full throttle is not always faster when cutting and water will make no difference it only keeps dust down a dry cut will always be faster than a wet cut.. Your blade representative will verify what I'm saying.

[@fredjohnson4772]

different blades were used; your test is completely flawed.... 100 thumbs down

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

You have quite an assemblage of saw to cut one parking block. It looks like you've already cut up the rest of the concrete in town.

[@jasonhansen6632]

We do a lot of concrete work and I use three saws and you did not test a single one????? Stihl is best, hilti second, and Partner 3rd for us. I use an electric for small jobs 12" evolution and its been going for over 5 years now.

[@danafox6189]

Great video and information about the saws. Interesting that you don't like Stihls at all, #1 name but not the #1 saw for you or me. Great information about the Makita and K750/760 for the different applications. BUT you used three different blades and put the slowest cutting and lowest cost blade (lower diamond concentration) on the Solo. Plus the Fury is a soft bond compared to a combo blade (medium/hard) like the All-American. Thanks for the info.

[@belsibub92]

Husqvarna not husqavarna // a swed

Not sure what all the finger pointing was about just skipped over the vid with the sound off was hoping to see the looks of all 4 cuts not just the first one. Thanks

I had a husqavarna once. Biggest piece of shit i ever laid my hands on. And thats the truth. Sthil all the way for me.

[@paulcfarrell3601]

What a load of crap if you have a poor quality blade it's going to take longer no matter what machine you use

[@toolman1108]

curious how you felt the power of the Makita 4 Stroke was. I just got one for my concrete work. Everyone on reviews keep saying it lacks power and isn't worth the money.

[@regularSenseAppeal]

The Solo got half as much cooling water as the rest.

[@julianbigj]

Just Go with ICS.

[@harrisonclark4821]

Sorry this video sucks. Fist off you said every popular brand is here... Stihl isn't, and despite what I have read in the comments about this or that they are still one of the most popular saws out there. Second you said you had some 90%+ success rate with your saws, and then went on to list off problems. Out of six Husqvarna saws there you said one failed twice which is actually a 17% fail rate just for it breaking once, leaving me wondering where the 90% came from (but you know, 89% of percentages are made up on spot or was it 75%... wait 90%). Third the saws clearly have different blades on them so the is not a head to head and is immediately left one of the saws at a disadvantage, and even if they are the same size price an use they still aren't the same making this test inconclusive. OH Yeah, and the reason Stihl is better is because they have certified service centers to fix the equipment at, and from personal experience Husqvarna does not and parts can be hard to find. All in all you just wasted my time and the time of everyone else who saw this video by not taking your time and not being consistent. Thank you

[@MrWaltherboy]

Let me say something People like you or the video maker they are all dumb asses , More than 16 Year’s in masonry business In my experience if you do your work professionally and take care of all your tools clean and store in a manner You should be expecting to cut anything with you saw Doesn’t matter witch brand you use The end bastards

[@cksilverxable]

Outstanding.. showing us how pathetic this circus show of a demonstration truly is.. hook up a multi hose connectors or even cheaper- leaf blower. The silica dust will get you eventually.. thumbs up for the rubber boots and shorts. Employees are truly your great asset, when you neglect them tells a lot about the person in charge. Try getting some good quality gas and not the cheep stuff

[@Elsanta666]

Km not in the concrete ik industry so excuse my question. Do this blades cut through the rebar in the concrete?

[@rob5896]

Where is your masks guys! You really want to be breathing in concrete dust and petrol exhaust fumes?? Seriously? Good luck with that...Anyways Its an invalid test, too many variables not to mention differences in operator, you have different blades different machine specs even one guy was spinning the clutch, way to burn that out...not too mention the solo wasn't getting too much water, I use a K750 it's awesome! It'll do the job and be very reliable if you use it and maintain it properly! Go buy a K750 I had mine for about 5 years and it's mint never let me down once.

[@danafox6189]

As I stated 3 years ago - given that I know these blades very well ..... Great video and information about the saws. Interesting that you don't like Stihls at all, #1 name but not the #1 saw for you or me. Great information about the Makita and K750/760 for the different applications. BUT you used three different blades and put the slowest cutting and lowest cost blade (lower diamond concentration) on the Solo - The Old Glory is a 30 Bond GP Blade. Plus the Fury is a soft bond compared to a combo blade (medium/hard) like the All-American. Thanks for the info. A contest or comparison like this should have all factors the same. If you had put the Fury on the Solo it probably would have finished first.

[@markg9653]

Same blade/disc? Are solo any good? Also can you get parts like you can Stihl n husqy. K760 all day for speed n quick start. Stihl ts400 as a back up.

[@thebountyhunteraddictjames6696]

Is this the actual KZbin channel for this guy looking at the other videos doesn't really seem like it is just wondering because I was thinking about subscribing but if it's all those random videos probably not

[@AB-tq2ci]

No real fkn concrete cutter would ever use a saw like that for long cuts. Use a real eletric saw instead that dont cut your head off. Husqvarna 16 amp is the real deal

[@concrete4all]

makita better

[@MrSurrealKarma]

"Huss-ka-varna"? Ha!

[@TheTeddyc]

They didn't all start at the same time. Also looks like there's just 2 different kind of blades. Those husqvarna 760 are petty good though. I've seen many sold.

[@andrewm4951]

My stihl ts400 and 420 with a guardian 14 inch blades cuts those curbs faster. Weird. I thought they would have been much faster. Ive never used or seen any of those saws cut. But great educational video! Cheers from Concrete Creations of Windsor. Maybe see you at next years world of concrete!

[@dankruger2890]

since I was a kid the two machines that have given us problem are hot saws and jumping jacks. it takes a seriously well built saw to handle concrete and rebar in large scale operations. Stihl 500 m-tronic is the best saw on the market to date. The new Hilti is a close second, but it just runs to rich brand new and you better turn it down or they last about one year with moderate use. let's not talk about the old crap. Having a m-tronic is great for vapor lock and plugged air filter.

[@dewaltpropicture9909]

I wouldnt even take Solo for Free. Give Hilti all day,everyday followind with Makita

[@shawninreno1025]

Not to mention first saw that one got most of the water you kept going back to him more time on his side I know you guys are trying to do some stuff to help people but be a realistic about it all Cutters got to use the same motion we all know that the motion of the saw is what helps the blade cut through faster amount of water as a factor amount of time on the Broken Blade new blades don't cut it aggressive is one that might have already had 5 or 6 10 cats on it blah blah blah clean your tools thanks for the video
