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…

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…

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…

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…

We are looking into buying a cottage up north at some point, and noticed we hate every kitchen we have seen so far.

In every case, an Ikea kitchen install would take next to no time, cost less than all other options, and look great. It would also last for at least 20 years, and is modular enough that individual parts can be swapped out for a…[Read more]
