NEW!! CAT power tools

[@WoodNMetalWorkshop]

You missed 3 questions 1. Where are they made 2. Who makes them 3. What's the warranty

[@plkracer]

Their mower is all made in China (battery, charger, mower itself), Positec USA is the branding they use. I plan to open up the 60v battery soon to see what is special inside.

[@2hotscottpro]

Haha what isn’t made in ** ina

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Probably just a rebrand of DeWalt! At least they don't have to change the colors. 🤣

[@plkracer]

@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va definitely not DeWalt, same ownership as Worx, if that says much. In fact, the Worx nitro mower looks identical, except it runs at 80v, instead of 60v.

[@samuelw.3992]

Their junky junk. 😂

[@stanhensley3082]

Watching Dirt Monkey go head to head with a very good salesperson is really something to watch!!! You ask the best questions one after the other.Thanks 😊.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Haha thanks fellow stan

[@joshuawilson1989]

​@@Dirtmonkey look you have to go head to head with a salesman. They are trying to sell you . I hate when people lie or be sarcastic to sell me a product... I just want a Right tool for the right job

[@acrinsd]

And it's refreshing that the salesman isn't blowing sunshine. A rare find at a tradeshow.

[@naborsprojectsadventures8243]

What can you tell me. R360 rippa excavator, 6 ton Any good?

[@dexewing1]

CAT's getting into all markets eh? Didn't know they were heavily into the power tool market as they are. Looks like red and yellow may have some serious competition. The Graphene battery technology sounds very promising and user friendly with a 20 min full charge time. Thank you for bringing unbiased, highly educational videos like this to us and asking manufacturers the right questions! Enjoyed this one.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Glad you enjoyed it! I try to get the right answers for you guys 👍

[@MrBmagx]

The only reason there making power tools now is because of all the profits that they can make, they didn't do it for the people. None of them do it for anything other than a big fat profit. Prices of stuff is getting way out of control.

[@jeremynguyen2346]

Hey

[@jakubciba6858]

I am not sure but isn’t kress first company with graphene batteries (8m charge time with their huge van charger)

[@joshuasoom7960]

im a dewalt man but ive always always said if cat gets into this market then id be all cat because all my machines i use the dewalts to work on are cat lmao so looks like im spending a couple grand this summer lol

[@briangraham540]

Good for you Stan for asking the right questions and making them answer what we want to hear ! ( from Canada )

[@Dirtmonkey]

Happy to help man 👍

[@axa213]

I love how you straight out call BS to the large companies and make them back the statement they just tried to make cause most will just say it after they leave the booth. Now hopefully Cat will send you the product to really show it works.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Yessir 👍 words are just words

[@danielstewart7732]

I've watched a lot of these trade show videos you do. I enjoy them, this CAT team by far was one of the best, positive, informed, engaged and excited. That goes so far in promoting a product.

[@johndough1966]

Don't be fooled by hired & trained 3rd party sales professionals. Stan read right through it.

[@brettknighten1171]

Stan is giving the CAT guys the run around definitely appreciate it

[@spruce7415]

I love how aggressive you are with them. It’s awesome

[@Dirtmonkey]

Gotta get the good stuff out of em 😂👍

[@carstenbuilds]

This cat dealer is a great employee he’s a hard worker

[@Ty-bz7zx]

Thank God I'm not a product rep for anything ... anywhere near you Stan !! =)) GJ and way to keep it real for the peeps.

[@matt45540]

Thanks to those guys for taking the heat. I'm sure just the cat repair team alone will make it a successful product

[@Dirtmonkey]

Yup we shall see

[@wt9653]

The Cat guy sounds like any other salesman. We need to get these over to Ptoject farm and put it through the torture test.

[@CZAnthonyX]

This stuff is pretty neat! Ive been a fan of Cat machines since i was a kid! Hope you get to enjoy your weekend! Love your videos!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks buddy 👊

[@fixitallpaul4847]

As soon as a sales guy says "The beauty of it is...." I tune out

[@Osirus1156]

"Listen...trust me!" Lmao that thing will not stay at 800 CFM the whole time based off that uh...confident response.

the CAT guy knows his blades

[@proapple2768]

Cool CAT WERY COOL PROFESSIONAL TOOLS

[@jordibt1789]

Kress used to be a german brand in the industrial space, they made awesome drills back in the NiCd era, made in Switzerland, the nicest feeling, mine still going strong

[@edwardgarea7650]

Thank you, Stan. I didn’t know these products existed, and as a Cat loyalist, these will be my power tools. And thank you for asking the tough questions that need to be asked, but most who do these sorts of videos lack both the guts and the knowledge you possess. Which is why I subscribe to you and not to them. You get it, they don’t.

[@onesadtech]

Another great video! You give the perfect amount of pushback, and get us the answers we all really want. Keeps me coming back every time.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Love to hear it 👊

Thank you Steve!

[@alanmw86]

damn you cat, I just bought into cat and milwaukee...and I would have waited lol

[@robsdeviceunknown]

And here I thought Milwaukee was awefully proud of their pricing, then comes along CAT. They don't even have mechanics tools :(

[@sruple]

For the landscaper out there you need 8 batteries lol

[@eddythehead9101]

He should have asked battery price.

[@andysukosd8177]

Absolutely love these videos Stan , the cat dealer was awesome.

[@rgamore]

Nice hair cut Stan!

[@dannoquin7322]

Excellent breakdown of functionality, Stan, great video as always.

[@dand33911]

Graphene is the future of battery technology. Good on cat.

[@hummyhero1484]

Stan is the man. Show and tell it like it is

[@ayoitsyayo]

I guess it’s only a matter of time before you start seeing Milwaukee front loaders and tractors

[@Stretch1931]

Kress sounds cool. Having the 8 minute recharge for someone in the field is great. We all know how Minnesota weather will definitely impact the longevity of the batteries. So that'll have to be discovered. The 20-minute use might be down to 10 in harsh weather conditions. Not perfect for all applications, but a great start for a future without cords or gas cans. Potentially less need for ear protection or respirators from all the exhaust fumes.

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Stan Cat made heavy haul trucks for a few year's and couldn't compete in a well established market I think this will go the same way

[@williamteller4682]

Would love to see you test some of there products

[@Dirtmonkey]

I’d love to test some! Anything specific?

[@CopperheadWelding]

@@Dirtmonkey yeah that ( metal ) pipe cutting blade

[@philipdove1705]

800 cfm blower sounds like a perfect output. Ego 765 vs cat handheld blower!

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

Impressive blades!

[@johnthumble5154]

This is the closest Dominic has ever been to a power tool thats for sure

[@carstenbuilds]

I love these types of videos Stan I’m a huge tool guy have a platform on every one of them mainly cause every platform has there unique tool that I have to have!

[@starcraft605]

One thing I noticed and confirmed on the CAT website is only the GX5 5AH battery is Graphene. All the other capacities and starter batteries you might find in a kit is Li-On based. My guess is Graphene is still hard to shrink and deal with thermals but perhaps we will get 2ah and 4ah batteries with Graphene duty cycles! Also a 10ah offering in Graphene would make me seriously consider switching. Knowing I could use a battery for a decade and still have plenty of life left? Bonus points if they stand behind those numbers with a good warranty.

[@nicktrask4717]

That’s so sick

[@ilyaguzev8953]

Купил себе шуруповёрт, эргономика хорошая, внешний вид зашёл, крутит отлично. Внутри всё сделано добротно, разбирал смотрел. Основной аккумуляторный инструмент в мастерской DeWalt думаю САТ будет также хорош. Жду расширения линейки.

[@mikshmt91]

I still don't understand how they think needing to buy four batteries to get one job done can compete with gas when you can get 8hr out of a tank

[@restorationranch20]

Thank you! My mower doesn’t last exactly 8 hours but I have a farm with some pretty tough grass and a big yard. No big deal though it takes 30 seconds to refuel rather hours for a charge. Plus batteries don’t last very long at full power.

[@pyro7603]

Stan, you're the man. Asking the questions and calling them out on the off answers!! To be polite. Lol. Hopefully, they will donate some blades to your company and put them to the test. Hopefully, that dude gave you his card! Thank you for all your video content throughout the years. Have a good one!!

[@Dirtmonkey]

That’d be pretty sweet. Testing these is key 👍

[@noahschlueter9913]

looks interesting but i’ll stick to milwaukee

[@silvergrizzly316]

Me too. 👍

[@petersmart1999]

Cat is junk! I have a 1.3 MW genset with a a 2x2 window in both sides of it,thats where the rod and piston came out! 250hrs! These tools are made by WORX

[@meegstomtom]

​@@petersmart1999 every brand can have failure's. Positech also makes Rockwell. But I fought it's the same as worxs. Tti owns Milwaukee and they also make homelite. Those aren't the same ether. Not saying I'm doing to buy this stuff ether.

[@Tools-Tested]

The charge time of the Graphene battery is truly impressive. I couldn't believe it, ended up retesting it multiple times. Only downfall is the weigh and size, but that really depends on the application. That battery in a OPT like a push mower would be amazing, hmm... Thanks for the overview video!

[@chrismccaslin8459]

Ian knows his stuff. You need to get your crew one of those blades and see what happens?

[@Dirtmonkey]

Maybe one day 😈

[@ryankennedy9414]

Like every other new cordless entry, the problem is market penetration. These companies need to consider doing buy back/credit to get people moved over. I started with Dewalt, and at this point I have 8 batteries from the 2 to 9ah, and 10 tools. Even if I liked something here, I am too far in to start switching. Graphene charges fast, that's great, but I have 5 chargers and all my batteries so I can simply reach out and grab a fresh battery whenever I want, as you never use 10 tools at once (as a homeowner).

[@larrylass4268]

I am also locked into a set of cordless tools. What I would like to see is either a affordable universal battery or adaptor so I do not need to buy a new set of tools when the old technology is phased out. I have a drill, circular saw, flashlight, and saws all that are dead because the company stopped making tools and batteries in 2016. Sad it is part of a disposable society.

[@tragikk03]

I run a mobile welding business, I might actually pick up some of those graphene battery powered hand tools.. I've been wanting a cordless 4.5" grinder, this might be a good time to try their stuff I'm pretty excited about this.. I don't hear much about cat, but the little I've heard about their big machines has been that they are rugged and durable. I've always been under the impression that they're a more trustworthy brand of their size in the industry. Looking forward to testing some of their stuff and the new battery tech

[@rcast2440]

Shoot if you do upload a raw video of your experience with then after a week then a week and so on.

[@tragikk03]

@Rodrick C. not promising anything, but if I get them and don't forget, I'll post something. I'd like to try them but I can't really justify switching from all the Dewalt stuff I already have that all run their 20v battery packs

[@QuietLawn]

Great stuff. Been using this stuff commercially for over two years.

[@Dirtmonkey]

Cool beans & good to know 👍

[@QuietLawn]

@@Dirtmonkey The mower and blower are a good bit more powerful than Ego for now and the string trimmer is very lightweight in comparison and less fatiguing. Ego is great too though.

[@TheMax0005]

I got the Cat hammer drill/impact driver combo from amazon, got it for 248$Can during prime day. It comes with 2x 2ah battery, a charger and a case, great deal when on sale. I Tested the impact driver and I wanted to know if it could unscrew the lug nuts on my Kia forte 2010 (torqued at 70 ft/lb). Not only it could unscrew lug nuts at 70 ft/lb, it was able to unscrew lug nuts torqued at 150 ft/lb...the maximum of my torque wrench. Those Cat power tools are no joke! To save wear and tears dedicated mechanics should use the DX72 impact wrench for everyday use. But for bi-annual tire change the impact driver can do the job.

[@leerob342]

A lot of this is looking really similar to Dewalt tools. Not just color but shape and scheme. Especially the drill batteries, push mower, and the rear badge on the drill. I'm curious if they have collaborated.

[@Jay_the_Caffeinator]

Awesomesauce video Stan. I saw CAT products getting rolled out at HD the last time I was there. Caught me off, guard, but they do make good stuff. I am curious about that gas wheelbarrow. I told you about my summer projects this year. Having a broken back isn't going to help. So saving effort where I can.

[@96fido96]

If I’m correct, cat power tools are exclusively at Lowe’s

Home hardware in Canada carries these tools, they are built really tough and the battery tech is awesome, but they do cost more then red or yellow but it must be the battery that drives the cost up, they look interesting, I would let the pros put these tools to the test and see where they are in a couple of years.
