New Power Tools from Milwaukee, Makita, EGO, DeWALT, and more at the 2023 Equip Expo! 

Dude that would be so cool!

A cordless hwat mower?

I don't even think STIHL was a presenter at the event. Pay attention will ya?

​@@keithstiltner3539he never mentioned stihl, pay attention will ya?

@@keithstiltner3539 I said "STILL", not "STIHL".

Yep rip off.

Other people say it gets stuck in circles of one spot

Yeah us too!

@@ToolShow”They’re not street legal, but that’s what night is for.” The man knows his target audience.

Thanks for watching!

Goooooooood question.

They are soooo behind Ryobi, not even funny.

I just read a comment about them spontaneously lighting on fire...TORO makes better stuff or grasshopper but that's 20 years of using my dad's mowers to cut.

That prototype did indeed light on fire at last year's show. One prototype problem doesn't justify "DeWALTs all light on fire." They learned from that event just like every failure they found while making prototypes. They fixed it, and the machine looks incredibly capable and adaptable. I'm looking forward to some on-the-job reviews from pro landscapers.

We were really impressed with them. Well built, easy to drive, and like you said, they could save a lot of money. Also cool being able to tow a forklift behind a truck instead of using an expensive flatbed or trailer.

Freak'n love this job.

The Ascent R series had the "spontaneous combustion" issue. The C series wasn't affected.

@@joshuaking34 it’s OK everybody, it’s safe. They changed the letters.🤣

​@@steffendetrickLOL. In all seriousness, the C series was there last year as well.

They didn't shelf it for a year, they spent an additional year developing their prototype like any other company developing new tech. Prototypes will have problems. That's why you make them. Sucks it caught fire last year, but it's literally part of the process. The only mistake was POSSIBLY (I'm not involved so I don't know) showing it to the public before they should have. But I'm not mad. I'm thrilled they're pushing the technology and innovating. That's how things change for the better.

It’s covered in part 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYCdI5o6TCA.htmlsi=R21qaBXRJ-KIEKbf at the 11:42 mark

Completely agree. Either that or you'll need to match the quality/performance at half the cost.

@@ToolShow Agreed. The problem is they focus more on the batteries and the tools lose the attention. I have even seen Dewalt and others give away tools for buying batteries. Ryobi is famous for this. What a wonderful world it would be if all the batteries were universal and the tools were more the focus.

If you see is say hi! We're always happy to chat with other tool fans, and enjoy meeting people who like our show!

Didn't they also come out with a battery-powered microwave?

@@rwplm yes and a coffee maker

Bruh, I can’t believe you’re the only one said something - I couldn’t stop hearing it

Don't know. There wasn't anyone with the drones to talk to. That's why we didn't feature them. Assuming that since it was at Equip Expo, it has something to do with spraying, or mapping.

​@ToolShow it looks like a Matterport drone for 3d imagery of the exterior of a building. Very cool product.

We drove this year, so Green Machine asked us to bring back a bunch of their tools, so we did. Looking forward to trying them. They're only available at HomeDepot.com, and I'm guessing it's because RYOBI doesn't want them in the stores, and I'm willing to bet they have enough sway with HD to keep them out.

@@ToolShow spicy but believable

That’s him!

Any consumer grade robot anything is garbage

We ran out of time! Both were there and we planned to visit them. Made it to Greenworks, but you have to remember they're there to sell to customers, and this time they were just too busy to talk to us when we had time. We actually invited Greenworks to come on our show to talk about their new personal transportation line and they agreed! Keep an eye out for that in November.

Legit question. Sarah doesn’t like to be on camera without a script. She gets nervous and struggles to interview people.

Miss you too bud! Switzerland is next! We fly out Monday. Might go live this week, but it would be early in the morning here in the states.

Prototypes brake. That's why you build them first. It's obviously unfortunate that it caught fire, just as the industry is working hard to calm the fears of gas-hold-outs. But it is what it is, and they can only move forward! The one I drove was remarkably solid and the conversion from sitting to standing worked great.

Would love to! If there's a brand you want to see covered, reach out to them on social, point them to this video, and tell them to invite us to their booth next year! We're easy to reach, and happy to stop by.

​@@ToolShowOkay Awesome!

Lots and lots.

Two-ah-tah-rah, but roll the "r"

I'm trying man!

Don't think it's built for that. I'll ask them though.

Yeah sorry about that! Hard to coordinate when we travel. We shot most of this on Thursday and had it live Friday. It gets a bit hairy. We will make up for it.

They spent an extra year working on it. They identified the issue with their prototype and fixed it. They hope to have it ready for production next year.

Just about every tool brand has an inverter for this very thing. We use our DeWALT and EGO inverters to power appliances during blackouts. We also take them to camping and to the beach.

That's a pretty old argument you dug up. Tesla was already using cobalt-free LFP batteries last year. Battery producers are making progress. The grid is being built up. And the environment has been taking a beating for a very long time, and suddenly deniers seem to be coming out of the woodwork to say "No, climate change still doesn't exist... unless of course it's being caused by batteries, then it totally exists, and it's because of batteries, and not because of the oil we've been using for 90 years." >.< Pollution is bad no matter what's causing it. It's up to each of us individually to make choices to combat it, including what we buy, how we manage waste, and who we vote for.

Never buy from Acme Tools, but from Forever 21.
