NEW Power Tools from EQUIP EXPO 2024! Milwaukee, EGO, Greenworks, STIHL, Toro, and more!

[@ToolShow]

Don't miss Day 2 of the Equip Expo coverage! kzbin.info/www/bejne/enrOnIKrnapoidk&ab_channel=ToolShow

[@MichaelAngeloTech]

Looks like Stihl and Greenworks are sharing homework with their ETO port and accessories. The port locations are exactly the same. That front hitch mount bracket is exactly the same. The Bluetooth remote for controlling the blower attachment was the same on both mowers. And the fan body between the two units are the same as well. So there is some cross pollination there between the brands/products. Makes you wonder who is manufacturing what.

[@ToolShow]

Greenworks is making Stihl for them. :) And yeah, I didn't even notice at first, and I did the dang interviews. LOL I just figured it was the same strategy. But then when we were shooting the Stihl segment, I caught on in the middle of it, when I pointed to the bluetooth controller, which was EXACLTY The same device. As it turns out, in 2016 Stihl bought a minority but "substantial" share of Globe Tools, which makes GreenWorks tools.

First off I love the show, love getting to see what is new from each brand in one location. I also wanted to say that I was able to demo that new Milwaukee 20” cordless saw for a few weeks at work. We put it to some heavy use and everyone that used it was highly impressed.

An absolute smashing event

[@billdoodson4232]

Gotta say that Greenworks saw geat the new Milwaukee into the ground. And all my battery tools are Milwaukee. Milwaukee were brilliant when I started buying them 10 years ago, now they are resting on their laurels. They need to start really innovating again and building tools that are that 10- 20% better.

[@tylerg9255]

Greenworks is killing it with their new tools. Looks like they jumped Ego until Ego comes out with their new batteries.

[@finbarrsheehan8304]

Technically they’ve been making the 40ah’s for a bit now, just not tools that use them yet.

[@joerapo]

I'm not anti battery powered by any means. One of my favorite tools is a battery powered Echo hedge clipper. But I can say from a commercial perspective battery powered blowers aren't nearly as practical as gas for fall leaf cleanups. I can run my Echo 9010 all day with it's 48nm of force and it weighs less than many battery powered backpacks. The trimmers are pretty close, but manufacturers are making mistakes with the weighting and power levels. For weekly trimming you really only need a 21-25cc gas engine equivalent amount of power. The more "commercial" grade battery trimmers try to pack more punch than that and it pushes the weight above what mosr guys like to use. Most of us prefer trimmers that weigh less than 12lbs preferably lighter. While that sounds wimpy it gets heavy if you're doing upwards of 100 lawns a week. I was at the expo this year and demoed many electric trimmers and blowers. Maybe next year the tech will be better.

[@meanodustino9563]

😂 $20k for the greenworks charging cube 😮trust me ill glady buy a gasoline generator and it will last 10yrs with fuel costs and still come out $6k ahead. Like get real! And wont weight 650lb! Most impractical thing there 😂

[@troyhough]

You whiffed on the EGO 30" Push :D

[@DMSparky]

I’ve used a Honda HS724 for many hundreds of hours clearing snow at the family ski cabin. So I’m familiar with the capabilities of a decent gas snowblower. I bought a single stage EGO snow blower for my parents primary residence (which is also in the mountains). I honestly bought it for myself and then realized it was more than I needed in the city. The EGO is honestly probably not that far off the Honda in terms of power. My dad suggests he’s going to get a big 2 stage EGO for the cabin because he likes the little unit so much. I think our family is all getting tired of the fumes transporting gas in our cars and breathing exhaust if we don’t have to.

[@floydwilliams3321]

So you can buy a Toro 60-inch TimeCutter for right around 4800.00 and that 3 gallon tank gives you over a hundred acres of mowing. I know some communities don't want to hear lawn mowers then they need to go out and spend $40,000 and cut their own communities

Lots of cool stuff there…Why not review any gas operated equipment? Battery powered is nice but it’s nice to know about what else is out there at these big expos. Additionally, no estimated prices asked on several tools. Thank you for the great video!

[@ToolShow]

Good feedback. We typically don't cover gas for two reasons. First, the bulk of innovation is in battery power, because that's where the market is reluctantly going. Second, when we did try to cover gas, it was all practically identical stuff, there's too much to cover, and our audience skipped it. Maybe next year, we can go all three days, and dedicate a single episode to Gas powered tools and innovation. Thanks for the feedback!

I own both Greenworks and Ego lawn tools. Ego has some of the most expensive and worst batteries (duration-wise). Greenworks batteries are much more affordable and work WAY longer. Less charging necessity. I also like that Greenworks makes heavy duty steel push mowers. I think I saw one from Ego recently, but it was like, $300 more than a comparable Greenworks metal deck mower.

No one is mowing in zub zero weather when grass literally doesn't grow. Heat doesn't bother these. You're listening to too many "patriotic podcasts" if you think Lithium-ion batteries only last 3 years. We have 5 year old EGO batteries still going strong. There are EVs on the road with hundreds of thousands of miles, and their batteries are still going strong. You need to pay attention to where your information is coming from. If they're paid to tell you Electric is bad (even though you're watching their show on an electric TV, or your battery powered phone) then you can't expect to be informed.

Watch the news. Tesla batteries failed in the cold. Talk to Tesla techs about recalls. Car fires after accidents. Just this summer past a broke down tesla on the side of the road.

Definitely a place for battery equipment today and as power continues to climb and price per watt hour come down there is a point in the not to far off future you’ll pay more for a lower power gas option.
