I Used MX Fuel (Milwaukee Tools) To Build a Paver Walkway

Those dislikes are just haters because they are jealous of how nice your work is. I love watching your work. I'm at work most of the time watching your videos, on one screen your videos are playing while on the other I am working.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

😂 That's good to hear brother, I appreciate the feedback and the haters don't bother me. At least they are still watching! LOL ✌

[@Mangold2865]

That’s awesome that your dad comes to hang out. I’m sure you do, but cherish those times and memories. You are lucky to have hims around. Id give anything to have mine back. Not trying to be Debbie DAHNER! Just saying it’s awesome

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

It really is brother, I love when he stops by and hangs out. So much of me is from how he raised me. I try to always be thankful for the time I get with him. Having the videos to look back on someday will be a blessing! And I don't think you being a Dahner at all! lol You are 100% correct ✌

That bird pose Benny did should be the company cardboard cutout haha, as always great video bud.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

🤣🤣 That would be perfect! 👌 Thanks man! ✌

[@joncindiroeck1298]

You also need to remember every time you pick up the Stihl saw you have to pull start it were you pick up the Milwaukee and only have to pull the trigger, I can see the bennyfites to each. As always keep the good stuff coming peace ✌️

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Without a doubt, the is a really nice thing about it. Plus no idling noise when not in use. Plenty more to come! ✌

[@Jv9569]

That stihl 420 really is the choice of the pro's. Funny thing about the comments about roughing up your level: The small but renowned hardscape company I was working for a while ago has pretty much the same process as your company. From the base stone, paver selection, to using a level to screed with the bars; and even choosing the concrete edging over plastic. I definitely recognize how high quality your whole methodology is.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Without a doubt. that model is a staple in the concrete / hardscape industry. And thanks for the feedback about my methods, it is good to know others are doing the same thing! ✌

[@phantomcraneflymusic]

I watch this shit with my girl and every time the track at 38:00 hits I tell her we're about to see a bangin hardscape montage, we love this shit btw lol

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Yea man, I love that song. Fits perfect with this work 👌 Glad you all enjoy the videos, thanks for the feedback! ✌

[@raptor250gonecrazy]

The 9 inch Milwaukee is our favorite saw for tight curves, quick cuts even long cuts. Rarely pull out the 420 anymore. Need a lot of batteries though so it’s an investment. Super easy to handle light weight I love it

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I have heard a lot of good things about that saw, looking forward to trying it someday. ✌

Those Milwaukee tools are everything! I need that saw to cut away the crappy concrete edging the contractor did on my paver patio!!!

Yeah those tools are awesome for work like that 👌 I'm sorry your contractor did a bad job on the concrete

[@josephrottina1901]

I don’t know you just can’t be gas. Looking good brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

That stihl is so tested and true... Well balanced and very powerful. But that battery saw is pretty good for being a pretty new model. Curious to see how it will change over the years.

[@phantomcraneflymusic]

Benny smoking Newport Reds fuckin sent me lol that's so on brand. I do hope he gets on the Zyns though, we need that brotha livin long

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

🤣 Right! 👌 I hope he gets off them soon enough myself ✌

[@brianhanley12]

That Milwaukee saw did a good job cutting man. I wonder how the blades you use from HD would work with that saw. Nothing like a 95 degree day to make a ton of cuts!! Another great walkway guys

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

It really did man, I was impressed for it being a battery saw... And I was thinking the same thing. I will have to make a more in depth video on the Milwaukee vs. the Stihl. And it was steaming that day...LOL Thanks brother! ✌

[@ezziesfarm]

Great work. Do you find a skid is a better first investment compared to an excavator ? Im trying to decide what’s a better initial investment. What would you recommend ?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Thank you. And yes I do. Skid steers get much more use on Hardscaping / Construction jobs than Mini excavators. It is awesome to have both, but if it is one or the other, buy the skid and rent an excavator when necessary. You will find it much more beneficial.

[@ezziesfarm]

@ appreciate the info.

[@lmilne4859]

Stihl,s digital saw has the feature with the water. Milwaukee that’s there second saw battery well 3 in total have the 9inch 1. And they had a 12inch 1 also which was horrendous. Have the stihl tsa 300 battery run time isn’t the greatest but it’s few pounds lighter than the 410 Stihl gas saw. Do super like it get full power right last part battery non other market don’t have this can see the performance tool getting effected as battery drains. 1 negative on stihl like when brought 9inch 1 out 2015 the guard can’t be adjusted. Good feature get 110mm depth cut on 12inch blade.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

That's good to know about the Stihl models. And I know Milwaukee doesn't have a ton of history with cut off saws, which is why I am pretty impressed with this one. To cut that good and have those nice features with one of the 1st generations of saws is impressive to me. I think they will just get better from here. And the big batteries last a long time... ✌

[@danabenjamin3300]

I want that new xgt 9' saw...but i do think mx line is good stuff.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I hear you, a lot of good brands out there right now... ✌

[@jamesramsey-t3q]

Hey man what’s the charcoal boarder paver? It looks thinner then a holland stone

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

It is called (Old Vienna), made by (Nicolock) with a color tone of (Raven)

[@jamesramsey-t3q]

@ thank you brotha

[@TheSmillerG]

Maybe the Milwaukee saw would cut better without that Milwaukee blade and a better diamond blade would be cut closer in speed to the Stihl.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I had the same thought... I got to try them with the same blade for sure. So a more detailed test comparing them.

[@drewillingworth9047]

Why’d you opt to not do any steps in the walkway here?

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

The customer specifically did not want any so he could easily snow blow it.

[@saljablo2767]

Like Buttah

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Yeah, it cut pretty good 👌

I’d prefer the fragrance of burnt fuel over burnt Armature. 😬

[@peterspatiolandscapeinc.2010]

Good video. You need to use the reversible compactor like a reversible. Drive it into the corners and reverse out. It saves time and you get better compaction in the corners. kzbin.inforUu0SwCVnY8

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I hear you on spots like that, but some corners are just best to hit with the hand tamper while you are going around the edges anyway. I think the best part of the reverse is in a trench, works mint. 👌

[@peterspatiolandscapeinc.2010]

@ definitely. Some corners you can save some hand tamping and often you can save hand tamping along the edges. They do shine in trenches though. I’m looking forward to see how the battery life is on the Milwaukee compactor and saw. The saw is about twice the price of the Stihl 500i saws we run so I’m very curious about the battery life on it.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

@@peterspatiolandscapeinc.2010 Yeah that saw is expensive comparably... I was very impressed by the battery life, you can compact and cut for a long time on one charge. ✌

[@mankymckrackin7126]

level =$20 (true and accurate and convenient) pice of wood =$15 (not true, heavy and give you splinters)

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

Exactly! 👌

[@brianshega6548]

I genuinely enjoy your videos so much, but every time I see you and Benny cutting with no mask or hearing protection, I cringe. Please do yourself a huge favor and wear protection. Coming from someone with permanent tinnitus.. You're killing yourself and Benny by not wearing a mask. Symptoms from silicosis may not show up for years, but I promise you are doing damage to your lungs.

[@TheChristianHardscaper]

I really appreciate the feedback and the warning. I have been trying to wear masks more but still not as much as I should. I do need to be better on that and hearing protection. You are 100% correct. 👌 ✌

[@slimprez26]

Second this, with the utmost respect. As a carpenter/contractor, I spent many years not thinking about any of this. As i approached my mid 30s and 15+ years on the job I was starting to notice the damage done. I wear a noise canceling Bluetooth headset 100% of the time and I put on the mask and sometimes the goggles whenever necessary. Investing in good quality PPE went a long way in making it an easy transition. Cheers brotha!
