In most of the side by side comparisons they appeared to stack the deck against the opponent machine. It would've been smarter to make the opponent machine just as fast as the battery powered or in the case of the hand looper utilizing a compound looper to make a better comparison. Milwaukee doesn't need to show they're so much better than the competition - they need to show the ease of use for these machines. No pulling to start, no oil gas mix, no headache with a machine that has sat through the summer/winter and needs to start. Batteries are very consumer friendly and that should be the focus of all of the comparisons.

I don't have the ears you do, but I was asking questions in my head already. . . "Who put the gas in this last?", "Is the throttle locked?", "If I power it down and take this thing apart I am going to need to clean the whole thing out and check thoroughly" among other thoughts because that did not sound right. In these tests you never know what is done under the lid to affect things however.

Im fun and loved MILWAUKEE, and owner! but you are right now, also fuel chainsaw maybe is not sharp that chain...

The blower demo had several issues. The obvious one was that the gas blower wasn't running at full power for whatever reason, and for some lawn companies, this actually might be an issue due to poor maintenance. They needed to use the same box for both sides which they didn't do. This affects the surface area being blown as well as how slick the corrugated is on the wood. Also, they double stacked the gas blower bricks while the battery one was not stacked, which profoundly affects the friction co-efficient on the boards by concentrating the weight on one area of the box as opposed to spreading the weight out. Finally, even the alignment of the blowers can affect how well the box slides, to which, no legitimate attempt to align the blowers equally was really made. I''m not sure most of this was intentional but it all seemed to be stacked AGAINST the gas blower.

couldn't have said it better, great comment. I would also add that in order to prove something like this we need a more controlled environment test, (lab, or done like a lab). everything needs to be controlled, didn't sound like the blower was at full throttle, and possible was using old fuel, based on how little they run the blower just for comparison, that fuel could be months old. They should have poured it in fresh and taken a battery off the charger to show how quick and easy fuel to go is.

That blower comparison blew

I believe they did use gas powered equipment that wasn't well maintained or just had carbs out of adjustment. But Stan, I've seen your own comparison videos so I'm quite impressed with the battery powered saws. I did like that you compared wood chips. But one recommendation for your chainsaw cutting, if the bar is long enough and the power is there, don't rock the saw, just let it go straight own. Good demonstration video with plenty of information, thanks Stan.

I was impressed with the M-18 tools but the gas equipment wasn't set up right. Cordless has its place and I'm a Milwaukee Tool fan. There were some very good points made. Thanks Stan for keeping them honest.

I really appreciate this video I have alot of the Milwaukee lawn tools I have to say I noticed on the trimmer you can't use it as long as you can with a gas powered it seems like the battery over heats so with that being said I use them more for missed areas in the lawn. With the hedge trimmer now is my go to tool hands down lighter and gives that nice clean cut. Just trying places that can sharpen them when needed.

Awesome video! Thanks for asking great questions!!! As for the gas powered tools, they are that finicky when you are not a small engine expert or you don't use them often. My wife and I helped my dad take down 3 acres of large cherry trees a couple years ago. My wife and I each used electric DeWalt chainsaws we had 18 batteries as we own quite a bit of DeWalt power tools. My dad spent quite a bit of time struggling to start the 3 Huskavarna chainsaws that he was switching back and forth between as problems arose. Aside from the fact that the chainsaw stinks, they are way noisier (I didn't notice it as much as a kid when using a chainsaw before electric was available). Our DeWalt chainsaws also worked with canola oil instead of chainbar oil which is cheaper as well and doesn't stink or give you cancer, lol. I spent at least 2 hours a day cleaning spark arrestors, oil tank filter, air filters, spark plugs on my dad's chainsaws as his farm is far from the repair shop and I am sort of handy. Electric is expensive upfront but wow do you avoid so many headaches early spring, late fall, and in between compared to gas. I am a huge fan of Milwaukee, Lowe's got me started on DeWalt, so all my landscaping equipment is DeWalt and home repair/construction is a mix of Milwaukee and DeWalt. Both amazing companies in product and service. Sorry for rant🙂

Thanks Stan, I really enjoyed this Video. Can you show more video's like this and maybe compare the difference between other electric power equipment. Great work and thank you for your channel.

Let’s see that proprietary behind the scenes products and processes. The side by side comparisons were certainly performed with less than optimally tuned machines.

I used to own a lawn care business and don’t need or want gas powered equipment. I bought the Milwaukee string trimmer a year ago and love it. There is one problem though, when the temperature is hot outside and you use the trimmer to long the battery over heats and starts blinking. Other than that it’s a great tool.

Thanks for the video always enjoy the new tool videos. I’m going to check out some Milwaukee tools. I’m thinking some of the comparisons weren’t fair. The Milwaukee tools were still impressive. I did some comparisons of my own. I bought some inexpensive cordless tools to try. I gotta say there’s a cheap green works cordless chain saw in my truck all the time. It does ok but being battery it always is quickly ready to trim branches if I need. It has earned its spot

I believe that’s the base model stihl blower, which I have. Mine sounds like that when I’m in the first few minutes of running it. After 5 minutes or so of use it really opens up and sounds totally different and also puts out a lot more air. I’m also curious if they’re using stihl moto mix or not, as in my opinion that is the optimal fuel for it.

Milwaukee is awesome. Love the packout system

Milwaukee has a great lineup of 18 volt tools. The thing to keep in mind is gas engines are repairable. When the battery powered tool stops, it goes in the trash. Would you buy a gas powered tool knowing it's going to the dump when it stops working? Prolly not... And knowing the price of Milwaukee tools, they most likely cost similar. Thanks Stan for keeping us informed and keeping the manufacturers honest.

That 2" dowel hack didn't go well but not the fault of the system.

Hey hey stan, busy busy week, infact, i seen ego just came pouty with some amazing new products for the 2023 season, they look amazing, they put a steaming wheal in the 42 inch lawn mower, the push mower which they have three different ones, the most expensive tho will have a screen to gie you blade speed, and you will have a personal pace system sorta like toro, and i was checking the website out and they had a. Striping kit for the 21 inch mowers, but i thought the 21 inch mower which i have lays don great stripes, but I’ll defiantly Nelly be getting that, i also seen tat they came out with a telescoping pole saw, its not part of the combi unite, its jsut a dedicated pole saw, which i actually really want to get, and i also seen they are coming out with the next generation of the nexus escape battery generator, it been bumped up from 150 watts to 400 and had pure sine wave, s this means it will be better for more tools or daily life products like a tv or maybe even a small appliance that doesn’t take much energy. But that’s what ego is coming out with in 2023, and stan, i would really lie to see a unboxing and testing of all these amazing products and see how they function, they all seem so cool, futuristic and i think its so amazing that then industry is really advancing forward.

Glad to see yhe 25cc top handle works as good as the one I own....that I no longer use.

oh man at 10:00 you and MR. VCG Vince taking video of each other in the peripheral. Blower looked like it was a weak running Poulan style we used to carry at a farm store. I spent way more time googling gas blowers than I should of instead of working but the layout seems backward of many blowers pictured. The one used had pull start on the left hand side where many online pull start on the right. As someone below mentioned I'd go with the Stihl BG 56 C-E as the nozzle attaches with similar features but there is not a switch in the top of the handle so possibly an older model. When standing on the pull side "left" you can look at the upper part of the nozzle and it looks to have been ground on or shaved, I believe that is where Stihl is embossed in the plastic.

I would say by the size and sound its a Stihl BG86, maybe the C-E model with the ease of the pull. It definitely sounds off, almost like its running too lean. I'm wondering if the carb screw for the high idle was "properly adjusted"

I wish I could afford a nice set of Milwaukee tools specifically picked to fit in the small space of my school bus conversion and allow me to work on said vehicle and similar vehicles.

Could you do the brick test with some of your blowers? Thanks for video.

I'm not sure exactly but that petrol blower looks like a Stihl model, and that test isn't accurate if it is because I'm used to the BG-86 model and you have to rev it at full power for about 10 to 20 seconds after a cold start before it runs at its full capacity and that is not the case here, you can tell just by the sound of it. As for the chainsaws, I'd have to leave that one to our two arborists as despite what my avatar pic may imply at the moment I'm not the expert on them. I do love the video though as I am a Milwaukee fan and I enjoy seeing these new electric tools. Thanks for uploading!

I like the video. I have started to move to M18. I am just a DIY guy but love tools. I have a 1/2 impact, framing nailer, jigsaw, and a router. All are for the farm where I work on projects, sometimes several hundred feet from any power. I am also looking at hand tools to I am always interested to see what is available.

That hand held gas blower sounded just like a POLAND Pro.

That Stihl blower definitely wasn’t warmed up. But does show the downsides to petrol blowers and even if it was fully warmed up I don’t think it would have gotten half as far as the Milwaukee did. That Milwaukee against the ego 7650 would be a good test. Be good if they made different size of mowers.

I believe that's the hyper tough leaf blower from Walmart I have a buddy who just bought one also it definitely wasn't running at full throttle

I'd say yes to both videos of the brushcutter that you tested, as well as the hand tool facility. Please, and thank you ! Keep up the awesome work, Stan.

the blower didn't sound like it was revving up all the way. the top handle chainsaw was a china saw. they should go out and get a commercial bg86 stihl blower and a 30cc top handle stihl saw or something more commercial built to compare there equipment to. I'm a Milwaukee and Stihl fan, but there's a power difference. I use my battery tools to blow snow off equipment or if I just got a quick house to trim or a couple branches to cut off with pole saw.

Would love to see the plant tour video . The blower sounded off ??? also the gas chain saw??? Could not tell the brand of chain saw but I would saw the blower was a Stihl.

Ego just can't be beat.

I think the mob just bought some of the pruners … maybe the chainsaw had a clogged muffler or maybe not … I like what Milwaukee power tools I use along with my DeWalt

I'm self admitted NOT a landscaping or power tool pro.. But I can tell you as a small engine mechanic and general tinker of gas engines... My stihl 2 stroke blower says that demo unit they have isn't running at full chooch, and probably cost a lot less than they want you to think it does. That said.. Despite the enormous push to make everything on the planet electric, I do dig milwaukee electric tools. Just wish they weren't so damn expensive. Also that said... I have a combo milwaukee drill driver combo that I bought in 2008 from the homeless despot, that just last December 2021, I finally had to replace the batteries as they'd no longer charge. I use both those tools almost daily around the house.

I say you do the same side by side comparison to see if there gas equipment was running at top power or nit

Anyone else notice on the blower test, the brick is at the front of the box for the gas and further back for the electric. Lightens up the front end of the box to allow air under and give it lift.
