Looks like all good things must come to an end….

Been doing a lot of work on my camper lately and the 4 fl12s I have came in handy

I step into this thread occasionally…..what is happening here?

Is EGO simply going to a new distribution channel teething issue, or is it that the EGO brand is imploding?

Honestly I’m not sure anymore , it started this summer with the split between HD and Ego , but Lowe’s picked them up , and…

Please let me know if you find out wha…[Read more]

redwood wrote:I agree Eric, about the quality of their products, so far. I have everything you have minus the blower plus the chain saws and rototiller.

They are not cheap though and we shouldn’t have to go through hoops to get things fixed. Down the road, if something goes wrong, at least in my area, no one fixes them. So your option are t…

Went to Currys yesterday and they recommended me shark Vacuum cleaner.

Anyone think sharks are better than Dyson?

Thanks

That’s good to know about the Traeger, I have a Pit Boss pellet BBQ, I should have checked that for power consumption. I imagine it would be really close to the stove. The stove may have a additional blower, that wouldn’t use much energy.

What AH batteries are you using?

Thats because they have massive capacity

At the end of the day, amp hours and volts don’t really matter as much as watts do – volts and amps are essentially how you manage to “get there” while the wattage is what you can do with it.

An 18v (let’s ignore peak vs run voltage for this)…[Read more]

Only other costs were to install a 220V receptacle and make up a short heavy cord.

My setup is bootlegged and definitely not up to a…

I’m somewhere in between

redwood wrote:It’s probably easier to cut larger limbs, then a trunk with the pole saw, but the EGO pole saw seems to have as much power as the 16″ EGO chainsaw. The biggest issue I see with a lot of cordless chainsaws is that the chains are thinner and you need to really square up the cut or things happen (chain comes off).

There is a good rea…
