For all the useless crap that gets "Alpha / Toxic Male" branding I sure as gently caress wish DeWalt or (your preferred battery type supplier) would make some cordless kitchen tools that would run off the same batteries as the poo poo in the shop. A cordless immersion blender, hand mixer, drive motor for a pasta roller etc would be great.

Back when AvE on Youtube actually did tool teardowns, that was a common rant he went on. The battery powered tools by big Red/Yellow/Blue are generally very well made, powerful and you get what you pay for. Kitchen/home gadgets are at the other end of the spectrum, typically bordering on absolute trash.

Oh agree 100%, I've abused ryobi drills for 8+years, in that time we've gone through 3 corded hand mixers that got far less rough treatment and never once got used as a hammer.

Revisiting the earlier discussion of LEDs run off of tool batteries. After 3 days without power in the last storm I definitely think these are worth it. I also snagged this for <$20. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KGF91Q2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Lower powered LED light but also comes with a USB, DC and USB-C output. The light is handy as a small flashlight but the real strengths are being able to shunt your batteries into USB stuff very easily. Definitely something I think that will be handy in another multi-day power outage situation.

Household devices that took drill batteries would be awesome. Your dyson or whatever is flogging the hell out of batteries so they die (as in stop working) all the time. If you could get a decent stick vac in your preferred ecosystem then swapping them would be easy and there would be less waste.

I just ordered my third battery for my 4 year old Dyson the other day. It's very frustrating.

Tools are weird because the price gap between disposable trash and The Good Stuff/Prosumer lines for most tools is not that much money (2-3x for tools rather than 5x-10x for kitchen appliances) You can get a chintzy cordless drill from Ikea for $40 or a great one from a hardware store for $100-200. You can get a disposable blender for $40, but the good ones with long warranties(Blendtec, Vitamix) are $300+ It also bugs me that branding is inconsistent in quality in kitchen stuff. You can't just buy any KitchenAid stand mixer, because 80% of the models have nylon gears instead of the bulletproof steel ones like my grandma made bread with every day for 50 years. Many of the tool makers have the decency to split out their cheaper tier line into a different brand.

Hi tool thread. What I have: -several dead trees and the room and experience needed to fell them. -a bunch of trees that need a good pruning. -an ever expanding brush pile. -various saws, axes, and splitters. What I need -wood chips/mulch. -firewood from the hardwoods. I've got the firewood part covered, but are any of the chippers thay home depot will sell me or my local rental place will rent me worth a drat? My brush pile is getting out of control and I don't have that many bonfires (and don't just want to burn my brush pile wholesale), so turning it into something useful like chips sounds great, but I'm also very suspicious of any chipper that isn't the same cost/size as a small car.

stealie72 posted:Hi tool thread. My dads an arborist and I grew up helping him on jobs sites so my experience is with the big commercial ones the size of a small car. I don’t know what you can rent locally but I’ll say don’t waste your time with those little home ones or even smaller commercial ones. The problem you’ll run into with those is they don’t have the power to do bigger limbs. And the smaller stuff you’ll only be able to feed a little bit at a time without bogging it down. If you have an out of control wood pile it’ll be an exercise in frustration and very time consuming with an underpowered chipper and you’ll probably decide the chips aren’t worth your time. My advice would be to get everything you plan on cutting on the ground. Then see if someone can rent or bring out a big towable one to your property and do it all in one go. That being said I’m not familiar with ones that can run in the PTO of a tractor if you have one, those might be decent. Basically don’t waste your time with a smaller underpowered one.

Luckily I live near a gaggle of tree companies so I may hire one to take down a couple of the standing trees just because they can deal with disposal. Handn't thought of "and can you also chip up this pile of crap for me" as an option so thank you for that!

The LG CordZero stickvac has performance as good or better than the Dyson and comes with two hot swappable battery packs. That's as close as we can get right now.

stealie72 posted:I figured that was going to be the answer. I can only speak for the area I’m in but since the lockdown everyone was sitting at home looking at trees on their property and decided they needed trimmed or whatever. Most of the crews I know around here have been booked out months in advance for awhile now. Call ahead, and definitely get multiple quotes. If it’s just for cleanup and drop some trees that aren’t around any structures just go with whoever’s cheapest. Within reason, I mean don’t put an ad on Facebook market place and have some dude with an extension ladder and chainsaw try to get your trees on the ground lol. Or do and record it….

stealie72 posted:I figured that was going to be the answer. Yeah my local tree company guy in my neighborhood shows up with a chainsaw crew then with a truck + chipper on a trailer to process everything at the end if they aren't gonna take it for firewood. That said we got a used Troybuilt chipper/shredder on craigslist for like $100 that's rated up to 3" branches and it did a good job on all the small stuff. We also throw all the fall leaves through it to make mulch / use for faster composting etc. Might be worth considering especially if you do a lot of gardening on your property and have a lot of woods / trees around it. The back of my property is a wetlands protected area forest so we can just get all the small branches that fall during storms etc and mulch em as needed.

It's a good vac but I had to pay extra for the fluffy head and the batteries are sealed. Could have gotten all that with with LG at a cheaper price. LG is weird. No one seems to like their refrigerators but their front load washers are regarded as the best. Very bipolar company. FWIW I've owned a Samsung, LG and Whirlpool fridge in the past 12 years and all of them have failed in their own unique ways. Fridges are just absolute garbage these days.

I've put them on a couple of chainsaws, a string trimmer and a tiller. My guess is they're coming off of the exact same line as the OEM ones.
