It seems to me that for a true test, you should have the same type blades on all of the saws. I would like to see this test again done with the same type of blades.
And what did we learn from this? Nothing logic couldn't have told us. Bigger saw + bigger blade = cut faster. This can't be used for comparison sake for mainly two reasons: different user = different pressure on the saw and technique; we don't know which saws were warmed up ahead of time - colder saws have less power. I'm not saying this is a terrible video by any means - thanks for taking the time to post it - I simply wanted to point out that one shouldn't draw conclusions on these saws/blades based on these results.
It depends on operator as well how much pressure put on saw and need equal amount of water, the middle ones the most water everytime the hose made its pass from left to right.
curious how you felt the power of the Makita 4 Stroke was. I just got one for my concrete work. Everyone on reviews keep saying it lacks power and isn't worth the money.
great video for a working man keep up the good work would you go with a 970 or the bigger 1260 or whatever it is, I am doing a lot of granite work on big stones that are to thick for a 14" blade
He was being nice to it warming it up. Do you really think they would put a guy that has no clue on a brand new saw in a comp that is supposed to mean something. Sorry leave it to me to be a critic but I am watching the videos making sure I know what I want. Noone seems to be posting anything about the husky K1270. 112 CC saw. I owned a wacker Neuson before they stopped making saws. Hands down best saw I ever ran.
My stihl ts400 and 420 with a guardian 14 inch blades cuts those curbs faster. Weird. I thought they would have been much faster. Ive never used or seen any of those saws cut. But great educational video! Cheers from Concrete Creations of Windsor. Maybe see you at next years world of concrete!
Great video and information about the saws. Interesting that you don't like Stihls at all, #1 name but not the #1 saw for you or me. Great information about the Makita and K750/760 for the different applications. BUT you used three different blades and put the slowest cutting and lowest cost blade (lower diamond concentration) on the Solo. Plus the Fury is a soft bond compared to a combo blade (medium/hard) like the All-American. Thanks for the info.
Cool test. I kinda figured the larger blade would win.....more surface area to cut with. Never heard of a solo saw. Have ran wacker/husky saws the last 20+yrs. Stihl saws used to have horrible air filter systems (not sure if they have changed their design)and would eat a set of rings pretty quickly so I quit using stihl concrete saws for that reason.
As I stated 3 years ago - given that I know these blades very well ..... Great video and information about the saws. Interesting that you don't like Stihls at all, #1 name but not the #1 saw for you or me. Great information about the Makita and K750/760 for the different applications. BUT you used three different blades and put the slowest cutting and lowest cost blade (lower diamond concentration) on the Solo - The Old Glory is a 30 Bond GP Blade. Plus the Fury is a soft bond compared to a combo blade (medium/hard) like the All-American. Thanks for the info. A contest or comparison like this should have all factors the same. If you had put the Fury on the Solo it probably would have finished first.
I own Husqvarna 16" I use it for concrete slab (cuts from 2 ft long to 100ft) and is really pain to use it. Saw starts in the morning with no problem guys are working for 1h-2h and after that is impossible to start. We have to put this saw on the side and when you will come back to this saw 40 min later sometimes this saw will start sometimes we have to wait a little longer. I own Stihl 14" as well and is working all day no problem. When Husqvarna 16" is working I like this saw better than Stihl. BTW Water "system" fail on my Husqvarna after few months and saw is not even 1year old. We use same ready mix for both saws. One is working all day another half (if we are lucky). In Husqvarna service they told me nothing is wrong because saw starts and they can't help me.
NewEra might want to set the Low carb jet a bit leaner and keep air filter clean. If it's not that it's the coil, I own a tree service and husky saws suck at hot starts/hot weather. They flood most of the time but I've had coil failures as well.
Ive done concrete and masonry 45 yrs i have 5-14" saws...Full throttle is not always faster when cutting and water will make no difference it only keeps dust down a dry cut will always be faster than a wet cut.. Your blade representative will verify what I'm saying.
In my opinion they didn't guide the tool the same, I saw one appear to apply force and the newest tools guide, he was chilling. He actually started his cut last and allowed the tool to do most of the work and didn't even apply much pressure.
They didn't all start at the same time. Also looks like there's just 2 different kind of blades. Those husqvarna 760 are petty good though. I've seen many sold.
try doing this test over allowing somebody more aggressive to use the solo, the guy who used it is too passive, in addition he started last, he is watching everybody else, it's like waiting for permission. also it would not be a Fair test if all the blades are not the same. as we all know the quality of blades does make a difference.
you are right, there is no any sign or someone who give the instruction when the cutting process would be start so it is clear that the competition not fair enough.
since I was a kid the two machines that have given us problem are hot saws and jumping jacks. it takes a seriously well built saw to handle concrete and rebar in large scale operations. Stihl 500 m-tronic is the best saw on the market to date. The new Hilti is a close second, but it just runs to rich brand new and you better turn it down or they last about one year with moderate use. let's not talk about the old crap. Having a m-tronic is great for vapor lock and plugged air filter.
@@SpYucaipaSoCal I've honestly had the exact opposite experience. We lay concrete storm line everyday and have/use both the ts420 and the hooskie 760/770, everyone goes for the huskies first, every time. They are much lighter and the anti vibe is vastly superior to the stihl. Our jobsite opinions ofc.
That’s super scary just the whistle that makes really creeps the GBG be out of me just like instead of Texas chainsaw guy, leather face carrying a chainsaw. He’s carrying a concrete cutter.
I watched this because I'm interested in getting one of these saws for sidewalk repair. I already have a SDS maximum drill. I was told most of these saws use a 32:1 mix ratio. Are they like chainsaws where they have a decompression start? 🐀🐾
Husqvarna 970 holds a 16" blade. While it's still the clear winner, in this test it seems to be turning a larger blade. More cutting surface equals faster cuts. Not a fair demonstration
More cutting surface is perhaps one part in it, but to me the largest difference is the edge speed. With a bigger blade rotating at the same RPM (don't actually know if the RPM is the same) the cutting edge will be travelling faster and will therefore remove more material.

Not sure what all the finger pointing was about just skipped over the vid with the sound off was hoping to see the looks of all 4 cuts not just the first one. Thanks
Is this the actual RU-vid channel for this guy looking at the other videos doesn't really seem like it is just wondering because I was thinking about subscribing but if it's all those random videos probably not
Not to mention first saw that one got most of the water you kept going back to him more time on his side I know you guys are trying to do some stuff to help people but be a realistic about it all Cutters got to use the same motion we all know that the motion of the saw is what helps the blade cut through faster amount of water as a factor amount of time on the Broken Blade new blades don't cut it aggressive is one that might have already had 5 or 6 10 cats on it blah blah blah clean your tools thanks for the video
We do a lot of concrete work and I use three saws and you did not test a single one????? Stihl is best, hilti second, and Partner 3rd for us. I use an electric for small jobs 12" evolution and its been going for over 5 years now.
Silica dust, you know the OSHA new rule? no dust collector no constant tuning water and world of the concrete is what they talked about since last year
I'm not a fan of the old partners saws, I'd take a stihl any day over one. But new saws? Husky all the way. The new stihls seem too highly strung, much like most modern equipment.
4 strokes will never be first...2 stroke will dominate always...same thing with weed eaters.A2 stroke 250 dirt bike creates almost as much hp as a 450 4 stroke...thats why u can race them together..2 stroke dirt bike will also have twice the torque than a 4 stroke will...guys always think the opposite..dyno it or just google it.True
All you guys as Tools looks hammered ever thought about cleaning them with the pressure washer taking care of them on the outside are you guys just used to cut off the breeze buildup on them like you don't give a hell about your tools damn come on man take care of your s*** there's more to it than just changing the filter
Ezzynation yes they are by far! Husqvarna are absolute rubbish. I've used partner, makita, stihl and solo over the past 15 years and stihl run rings around the rest. They've always cut faster, the hose fittings last longer, easier to start and serviceability is better.
No real fkn concrete cutter would ever use a saw like that for long cuts. Use a real eletric saw instead that dont cut your head off. Husqvarna 16 amp is the real deal
