Yeah. Definitely sticking with Milwaukee. I know that Milwaukee will replace my tools for free within 5 years if I drop them off a roof or even in a hot tub!
I have used Milwaukee for the last 35 yrs, but I see the there quality has been getting cheaper as they grow. I have a drill from the 80s still going strong, just brushes ? Now I have tools less then 5 yrs that a just junk
That multivolt rep had his hand on the sawzall. The other guy did what he was suppose to and let that weight do the work. You can always trust a tradeshow salesman.
Where I live it’s 9 miles to a Lowe’s and 31 to Home Depot and if I’m buying anything but materials I’ll make that ride to Home Depot the service is spot on and I’m a Milwaukee addict.
Little known fact. Those of us that lives here in Wilkes county the home of Lowe's home improvement. Prefer to drive 37 mi down the road to home Depot for better service. Especially since Lowe's got some dealing place at prevents home Depot from delivering here to our county. If your company is that dang scared of the competition that you're going to block people's rights to shop someplace else you don't need customers.
I have 2 570BFS one for 2 years one for 3... Both great... One I just made a video about someone put straight gas and seized it, I took it apart and with no money or parts got it running again and its back in the front line working great.
Husqvarna is coming along way with there Landscaping equipment, I have the MZ61 zero turn and its top of the line with cut and performance and I've ran exmark and Toro, and husqvarna is right up there, maybe not an Exmark I love those machines, but I am pretty impressed with where husky is going!
you aint lying about Exmark. im a mechanic and the first one of those i worked on was a 72 inch gas and when i tested it after fix almost knee high grass was full speed like 10ish mph didnt miss a lick!!!!
Great one Stan! This one, to me, was extra great because it references something in my neighborhood, LOWES. Home Depot may have been first on the scene in CT but LOWES snuck up and things as you have shown are making the decision process that much better. I thank you for what you just brought. We did have a couple Lumber Yards/Hardware Stores that could not be beat falling victim to HD & LW's but you, via UA-cam show us all more up to date new things being done and I (we) appreciate all of your UNBIASED efforts. Big thanks - this one was great! Sonny (CT)
at 14.46 The Kobalt drill guy keeps looking over to make sure he didn't beat him through the 4X4.then when he see he is through he really starts bearing down on it. so fake At 15:00 in.
yeah I saw that! a 24 volt brushless drill is a whole whopping 5 seconds faster than a 12volt brushed drill whoopty fucking do I will keep my gen 5 ridgid
If Lowes was REALLY "invested in the pro" they would start selling Milwaukee again. That was the biggest mistake they ever made, letting Milwaukee sign an exclusive contract without a fight.
I hope they put that effort into the lowes near us. We have only gone to Lowes because they’re closest, but Menards is building a store in the area. Everyone is excited to have that choice. I’m not really convinced that the lowes in our area really cares. We can get better prices from lowes and home depot in neighboring areas. It just takes extra planning and time. And personally I prefer the tools and products that home depot carries. I just want to know the place that wants my money, actually cares about customer service.
I'm really digging the blacked out tape measure. Finally someone made it. It's the numbers and hash marks that require to be seen, and not the empty tape surrounding them. Those of us with eye strain can attest.
I’m a certified husqvarna mechanic and I love their products. I personally own a battery blower which I’m not a fan of. I work on everything husqvarna slaps their name on and the blowers are definitely my lest favorite. Have to take everything apart to work on them and they’re pretty common to failure if left sitting for a while or regular maintenance isn’t kept up.
I love how they all use rockwell jaw horse for all there tool preview setups I have one and its honestly one of my favorite tools to use when woodworking
I love the tool show video's 😝🤙I'm a lowes guy I have the Kobalt 24v for a 2 or 3 tra now haven't had any issues with the tools I have. I liked porta cable line for awhile very good tools but when I looked into it kobalt really stepped it up when they designed these tools for the buck and yes I use them often Thanks for sharing Stanley 😁👍love ur channel👍 Chase Long Island NY 😝✌
It's about time, HD's getting a bit too comfortable with being geared toward contractors for their own good. Their attitude seems to be "Lowes is for homeowners, not pros, so we know you'll come here. " Maybe some competition will make them up their game.
Which is why I will drive an hour one way to home depot when I need something and don’t need it at that exact moment. They also carry better tool options IMO
My problem with ALL mechanix gloves is that the fingers blow out long before anything else fails. Have tried 4 pairs and its always the same problem. Stitching gives out and the finger tip areas always give out.
Yes - Please cover the other Lowes event. Some neat stuff here for sure. That spade bit (or whatever it was) suprised me at how FASTER it was due to the spriral and chip thingy. Very cool!
Biggest reason to go with HD right now is text to pay. As a homeowner, business or organization, you can set up your card information and then send your guys to pick up whatever they need and then confirm it over a text and pay for it without the fuss of losing cards, reimbursements, unknowns of what they're purchasing, etc. HD then sends you the receipt to whatever email you have set up. I don't want to have to take a supervisor off the job to go make a purchase just because he's the only one authorized to use a card, or that I trust. Also, Lowe's needs Flexvolt and Milwaukee tools like others have stated.
Mine has been discounting the hell out of the Hitachi named stuff to i guess make room for the new Metabo HPT and flexvolt stuff. My lowes just started packing the flexvolt stuff in the top shelves
I own a one of those blowers. The only thing that I didn't like was the end of the hose. It was a easy fix. I put a fan end of a hand held one on the end it works fine.
Amazing how far cordless tools and tools in general have come. I guess they are trying to make up for the labor shortage with the ease of use and speed. Thanks for the tour.
I've had my Husqvarna blower for about 5 years now. No problems with it, despite my poor maintenance habits. Very strong output. Very comfortable to wear.....No I don't work for Husqvarna; I just appreciate a good tool.
Thanks so much Stan. I really like the new tool type videos. Very interesting and exciting to see what they have in store for us. Especially when she got a little excited herself mentioning Black Friday coming up.😛😁😍😀Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney
My friend had an old husquvarna blower you could start that thing with no spark, one time he was bringing it out for the season and i was doing a slow pull with no choke to get everythign moving.... its started right up
Looks like Lowe's realized they were missing out on some huge market share because all the pros were going to HD. I'll probably still favor HD though, since they seem to have better pricing and selection. And of course, Milwaukee.
@@chevyon37s yeah menards tool selection isn't the greatest, but Lowes is not going to get pros to buy material there just because they have more tools.
Lowe's also gives "real" discounts to us veterans. Register once and you don't necessarily have to carry proof of service each time. Although last time I was in, there was no way to discount using self serve. Don't know if that's changed.
My husquvarna 650b blows 908 cfm out the tube and is the meanest sounding blower when acquired. It blows 3/4 stones and acorns out of the grass no problem. Beats echo and stihl imo
This must be a very exclusive event because there's nearly no one there whatsoever. I do like going to Lowe's though because there's hardly ever anyone in the store. When I do need something I want to last though I go to home depot and get real tools like Milwaukee.
14:50 , the sales manager kept looking over to see when the kobalt finished so he could push harder... some shady salesman stuff from kobalt and metabo
the ridgid was a 12volt gen5x which means it was brushed wasn't a "fair" fight but they sure bragged up that 5 seconds that their 24 volt brushless beat it by lmao
Brother, thank you so very much for all you time, sharing, video. This is and was a learning experience for me. I was at my desk doing my weekly paperwork from my past week, like I do every Sunday. And you video came up. And damn 3 things I just had to have, so damn i got dressed and hauled ass to Lowes. Had to have the Hi-Vis lufkin tape measure, and the spyder bore bits and 7 1/4" saw blades. And Damn they are everything you showed in your video. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SHOWING AND SHARING. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GUYS. AND PLEASE, KEEP THOSE VERY HELPFUL VIDEOS COMING. DAREN, FROM SOUTH FLORIDA.
I like the way he got him to admit that the saw blade was only 1 times better than the Diablo. He kept saying six times better. Better than what? A butter knife.
Triple hammer is pretty great. The m18 gen 3 is technically “faster”, but the IP rating is pretty cool, along with the features the triple hammer has. Everyone has a preference, & competition is great, but know for a fact when I got some of my Milwaukee m12 & m18 fuel tools wet.....doesn’t always end very well 🥺 Thx for vid Stan, wouldn’t mind seeing the other Lowe’s Pro Days “tour/demo” if able to make it. Cheers✌🏼
24volt kobalt compared to an 18v rigid drill. And I'm pretty sure you can see they have the rigid drill turned down. Either way rigid is tried and true with lifetime guarantees and they have been for years. For someone buying tools today these other tools maybe an option but for the people in the trades for years rigid and dealt have been the best option. Lowes is now finally starting to cater to the pros and maybe someday I'll go back to lowes but I'm far from impressed by lowes. Your videos as usual are very informative and to the point. I appreciate that.
I have a Rockwell drill and driver that are about 5 years old? Maybe 6? Seriously considering switching to HPT-Metabo. We have the Bosch drill at work now. Love the thing!
Durable tape but as soon as you drop it in water it's trashed the next day. They make them nice on the outside but still put trash metal in for the spring
The k ok oh reason I buy ridgid is because of the lifetime warranty. Not limited warranty. Lifetime.i still have my drills working like brand new from 03
Home Depot has really gone downhill over the years. Customer service is a joke. Doesn’t matter what time of day and multiple locations where I live in Sacramento. They only have 1 checkout counter open and the rest are self checkout. This goes for the Rancho Cordova location, the Natomas location, the Maddison location. I’ve been a huge home depot fan for years because my father went there and lately I’m thinking of switching to Lowe’s.
Great videos as always.Like the Metabo (aka Mikita) under drill test cool.Really how many guys are actually going to place there drill in water and run it? NOT HAPPEN. I did like the multi-volt that is great and has the ability to plug in and save battery neat trick will not take long for all the rest to get on board with it.
The 570 huska blower is extremely powerful out blows the stihl 700 but it is so powerful u will have back pain after using it for a property or 2 but they will blow any pole of leaves no problem
IP 65 means 5 is protected from jets of water 6 means that it's dust tight so that drill is protected from dust and Jets of water if you don't believe me google that IP rating
I’m not a pro but I do spend about 25-30k a year at Lowe’s and home depot hope they make it a little better for the little guy also time is money I do go to Lowe’s first most of the time but wind up at Home Depot a lot ether because Lowe’s doesn’t have it or no one is there to help.
Lowe's gives a Veteran discount to all who honorably served. Home Depot only gives their discount to Active/retired/disabled vets (except on Veterans and Memorial day). The Lowe's discount also covers more of their products than HD does. So far neither HD or Lowe's really carries the pro tools that I am looking for. No concrete saws, dewalt flexvolt stuff is limited, etc. Because they support vets so well I definitely want to see Lowe's do better at taking on HD but I don't see either of them being a threat to dedicated pro hardware stores really soon.
If Lowes wants to work to help pros, they need to train their staff!!! I quit going to Lowes unless I absolutely have to because if you ever need help, forget it, I have walked down isles and watched associates walk out of their way to NOT help me. When you are unlucky enough to corner one, they are usually unhelpful or ilinformed or rude. I much rather take my business to a Home Depot, the Pro Desk knows me, they take care of me and know what they are doing!!
Cool stuff but I think the biggest thing was Bosch THAT BATTERY that’s the news! Smaller higher power that’s the big thing. I don’t care how “fast” the tool is but if I want to puck up the tool all day. Great work Bosch! Look out Makita
Problem with Lowe’s is they sell most things for a higher price than some of your more specific fastener /tool shops. Usually framing nailers are 15% or more cheaper and you can get deals when you buy nails in bulk. Like a paslode framing nailer for 200$ Canadian if you buy 20 box’s of nails @ 10.50$/1000 nails Where as lowers sells the nailers for 419$ Canadian with no deals. And the nails at 9.99$/ 1000 nails. Just an example
it would help if they told the employees inside the store that I stop going to Lowes six months ago they have done nothing but cost me money. go Orange
The Husqvarna backpack blowers are clones of Redmax blowers. The redmax 8500 and the Husqvarna 580/570 are the same blower just in different colors Fun fact the gas tank on the redmax 8500 is stamped with Husqvarna's logo
Same exact thing literally as a redmax . Redmax is husqvarna so it’s just them trying to make more money on the same product in different plastics ! REDMAX IS THE KING of commercial blowers ,edgers and whips ! 💯💯👍🏼
That's where the money is. Homeowner will spend the same amount in a year (doing Reno) as a contractor will in one week. If anything it's good.. it should bring more and better products to the store. More accessible for homeowner.
See ive always thought of lowes being for the diy homeowner who doesn't really know what they are doing. I just expect that the workers have no clue what im working on. They only know how to sweep the floor a face the products. BUT!! this video makes me want to go check them out and see how they have changed course.
Mechanics is no joke I know my speak and spell didn't spell it right but my buddy's dad has been using them pretty much from day one and that's the only pair of gloves will ever buy
Husqvarna in europe is most popular chainsaw, it is a lit bit expensive to buy it but you can use it for 12 hours a day for 365 days a year without any problem and have very good dealership to buy parts to fix it , if after 10 or 15 years have problem
It’s really about damn time, my local Lowe’s is one of the biggest on the west coast and it takes for fuckin EVER to check out on the pro side, only two registers
The crescent lufkin isn’t superior for the hooking mentioned. It will “hook” but won’t take pretty much any bend or angle. I have the night vision type and the underside tick marks don’t exist after a month/month and a half of use. The top side is still solid, any fine measurement from underneath, don’t count on it. Adequate tape, nothing special. Will go back to Milwaukee/Stanley after this breaks
I love how the tape measure fell off as he was describing how well it holds!😂
I thought the same thing. Lmfao
Twice in a row aswell.
😂😂😂🖕

Aaaannnndddd move on to the next pitch!
the "hook" on the tape measure didnt seem to stick very well at an angle.

I like how they used Milwaukee’s old corded sawzall when last year and this year milwaukee proved their battery powered are better than corded.
Also had an old blade in it as well. Paint was worn by the shoe.
Yeah. Definitely sticking with Milwaukee. I know that Milwaukee will replace my tools for free within 5 years if I drop them off a roof or even in a hot tub!
And the Flexvolt used his left hand to induce down pressure. 5:20
Everyone knows that Milwaukee is to much of a competition for all the Other brands
I have used Milwaukee for the last 35 yrs, but I see the there quality has been getting cheaper as they grow. I have a drill from the 80s still going strong, just brushes ? Now I have tools less then 5 yrs that a just junk

You can always trust a fox to sell security to a hen house!
Don’t forget the used blade on the opponents sawzall.
And the slight hesitation to start from the other guy as well

Everyone has a preference, & competition is great, but know for a fact when I got some of my Milwaukee m12 & m18 fuel tools wet.....doesn’t always end very well 🥺
Thx for vid Stan, wouldn’t mind seeing the other Lowe’s Pro Days “tour/demo” if able to make it.
Cheers✌🏼
Thanks Aepek!!
Stan, u had them nervous, didnt ya!!😂😂😂😂 They have to be ready for my man, Stan!!💜💜💜 Thoroughly enjoyed it as always!!
Thanks KD, much appreciated!
24volt kobalt compared to an 18v rigid drill. And I'm pretty sure you can see they have the rigid drill turned down. Either way rigid is tried and true with lifetime guarantees and they have been for years. For someone buying tools today these other tools maybe an option but for the people in the trades for years rigid and dealt have been the best option. Lowes is now finally starting to cater to the pros and maybe someday I'll go back to lowes but I'm far from impressed by lowes. Your videos as usual are very informative and to the point. I appreciate that.
Thanks Robert, I appreciate the comments !
I really enjoyed this video. I like being able to see all the new stuff coming out. Keep up the get work!!!
Thanks, glad that you enjoyed it!
The back pack leaf blower is very good
I have a Rockwell drill and driver that are about 5 years old? Maybe 6? Seriously considering switching to HPT-Metabo. We have the Bosch drill at work now. Love the thing!
The Husky 580 blowers are a beast...run 2 of them
I would skip past the 570 for the 580
Durable tape but as soon as you drop it in water it's trashed the next day. They make them nice on the outside but still put trash metal in for the spring
The k ok oh reason I buy ridgid is because of the lifetime warranty. Not limited warranty. Lifetime.i still have my drills working like brand new from 03
Home Depot has really gone downhill over the years. Customer service is a joke. Doesn’t matter what time of day and multiple locations where I live in Sacramento. They only have 1 checkout counter open and the rest are self checkout. This goes for the Rancho Cordova location, the Natomas location, the Maddison location. I’ve been a huge home depot fan for years because my father went there and lately I’m thinking of switching to Lowe’s.
Lowes is the same
Holy crap that blower blowing a whole bag of mulch
Husquvarna blowers are awsome had for a year use it a lot and feels good in your hand
I have an older metal housing Lufkin and its a tank. The old Stanleys are the best though.
I’ve had the worst experiences with special orders at Lowe’s need to hire better people
I agree every time I do a special order or something online it's like Lowe's has no idea where the order went or even how to track it
Great videos as always.Like the Metabo (aka Mikita) under drill test cool.Really how many guys are actually going to place there drill in water and run it? NOT HAPPEN. I did like the multi-volt that is great and has the ability to plug in and save battery neat trick will not take long for all the rest to get on board with it.
I think you mean Hitachi lol... Makita has nothing to do with Metabo.
The 570 huska blower is extremely powerful out blows the stihl 700 but it is so powerful u will have back pain after using it for a property or 2 but they will blow any pole of leaves no problem
IP 65 means 5 is protected from jets of water 6 means that it's dust tight so that drill is protected from dust and Jets of water if you don't believe me google that IP rating
Multi volts ya choice. Apart from when it isn’t or can’t be.
I have had 2 Husqvarna blowers for over 10 yrs. BEST blower on the market!
Lowes tried in Australia and it all went backwards. Not around any more. Do miss them. Only have 1 major hardware Bunnings. Who are getting expensive.
I’m not a pro but I do spend about 25-30k a year at Lowe’s and home depot hope they make it a little better for the little guy also time is money I do go to Lowe’s first most of the time but wind up at Home Depot a lot ether because Lowe’s doesn’t have it or no one is there to help.
Thanks for sharing Michael!
I have a 15 year old husquavarna blower I use on a weekly basis...have never done maintenance on it either...thing is a tank
Lowe's gives a Veteran discount to all who honorably served. Home Depot only gives their discount to Active/retired/disabled vets (except on Veterans and Memorial day). The Lowe's discount also covers more of their products than HD does.
So far neither HD or Lowe's really carries the pro tools that I am looking for. No concrete saws, dewalt flexvolt stuff is limited, etc. Because they support vets so well I definitely want to see Lowe's do better at taking on HD but I don't see either of them being a threat to dedicated pro hardware stores really soon.
I appreciate the input and comments, thanks for watching!
If Lowes wants to work to help pros, they need to train their staff!!! I quit going to Lowes unless I absolutely have to because if you ever need help, forget it, I have walked down isles and watched associates walk out of their way to NOT help me. When you are unlucky enough to corner one, they are usually unhelpful or ilinformed or rude. I much rather take my business to a Home Depot, the Pro Desk knows me, they take care of me and know what they are doing!!
Thanks for the video...always good to see what's out there.
You're welcome Mark, happy to show you !
Cool stuff but I think the biggest thing was Bosch THAT BATTERY that’s the news! Smaller higher power that’s the big thing. I don’t care how “fast” the tool is but if I want to puck up the tool all day. Great work Bosch! Look out Makita
Thanks for the input!
Problem with Lowe’s is they sell most things for a higher price than some of your more specific fastener /tool shops. Usually framing nailers are 15% or more cheaper and you can get deals when you buy nails in bulk. Like a paslode framing nailer for 200$ Canadian if you buy 20 box’s of nails @ 10.50$/1000 nails Where as lowers sells the nailers for 419$ Canadian with no deals. And the nails at 9.99$/ 1000 nails. Just an example
Thanks for taking the time to video this
You're welcome Mark, thank you for watching!
i like these videos. keeps you updated on all the cool new tools out there.
Thanks for viewing Joseph , happy to share these vids with you !
Love your videos. You always seem to ask the good questions!
it would help if they told the employees inside the store that I stop going to Lowes six months ago they have done nothing but cost me money. go Orange
The Husqvarna backpack blowers are clones of Redmax blowers. The redmax 8500 and the Husqvarna 580/570 are the same blower just in different colors
Fun fact the gas tank on the redmax 8500 is stamped with Husqvarna's logo
Same exact thing literally as a redmax . Redmax is husqvarna so it’s just them trying to make more money on the same product in different plastics ! REDMAX IS THE KING of commercial blowers ,edgers and whips ! 💯💯👍🏼
Sounds like te "pro" is going to get better service than the DIY person or home owner doing their own stuff.
That's where the money is.
Homeowner will spend the same amount in a year (doing Reno) as a contractor will in one week.
If anything it's good.. it should bring more and better products to the store. More accessible for homeowner.
@@turboflush and higher prices as well. Lowes is usually always higher than Menards and Home Depot is higher than both.
See ive always thought of lowes being for the diy homeowner who doesn't really know what they are doing. I just expect that the workers have no clue what im working on. They only know how to sweep the floor a face the products. BUT!! this video makes me want to go check them out and see how they have changed course.
Sounds good JM, thanks for watching!
Mechanics is no joke I know my speak and spell didn't spell it right but my buddy's dad has been using them pretty much from day one and that's the only pair of gloves will ever buy
The backpack blower I actually use at Lowe’s to clean Outside law and garden and the parking lot.
I got two pairs of those m gloves at walmart in the clearance section for like 4 dollars a pair. I enjoy them.
Husqvarna in europe is most popular chainsaw, it is a lit bit expensive to buy it but you can use it for 12 hours a day for 365 days a year without any problem and have very good dealership to buy parts to fix it , if after 10 or 15 years have problem
It’s really about damn time, my local Lowe’s is one of the biggest on the west coast and it takes for fuckin EVER to check out on the pro side, only two registers
The crescent lufkin isn’t superior for the hooking mentioned. It will “hook” but won’t take pretty much any bend or angle. I have the night vision type and the underside tick marks don’t exist after a month/month and a half of use. The top side is still solid, any fine measurement from underneath, don’t count on it. Adequate tape, nothing special. Will go back to Milwaukee/Stanley after this breaks
I used em on both deployments. Impact pro. Amazing gloves for the money!!
Omg what is that cute thing in the end? I want it!!
I have a spy Dee hole saw. It’s no joke. I’d give that blade a shot.
