If you are into tools and equipment related to lawn care. This is the place for you. Unboxing, quick looks and reviews of lawn mower, line trimmers and any thing else you can think of. No brand is off limits, Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Masport, Ryobi, Scag, Ego, Milwaukee, Makita, Dewault, Toro and any other you can think of.
I applaud your patience. By the time the handle came loose the second or third time, I probably would have thrown it across the yard. Lol...
G'day Tim,
🤔No use having all that power if the shaft can't handle it & keeps coming apart under load,
I'd much rather pay extra for more reliability especially if it is supposed to be a commercial model as they claim earning you money.
The AEG would do better with a longer nipple, and maybe adding a second one to help increase the stability of the shaft. Because the more that goes in, the less it will flex and this means less times that the shaft comes lose and moves around.
Edit: Also forgot to mention that a lighter spring would be better, like you suggested. Though that would be an aftermarket part that most likely would void the warranty.
I like the Stihl connections for their CombI tools. Thick, chunky and easy to setup while still wearing your protective gloves. Echo and Shindawa I always have to take the gloves off to make sure you can mechanically feel they are connected correctly.
i love the mower your using
In Canberra here and I get very satisfied from watching your content. Can you do a tutorial video on threading new line in the line trimmer/whipper snipper. I CAN NEVER install the line properly.
I love this tool channel. I learn a lot. Tim you gotta stand up straight when you’re talking into the camera. You have plenty of head space. You’re killing my back watching you hunch over lol I would’ve thrown the weed whacker over the fence. Money is time and you just lost money monkeying around with that knob 😒🥴🇺🇸
Comment made before watching:
Been wanting to hear about this AEG gear for while. Been comparing it against the EGO 56V gear.
Speaking of EGO hopefully there will be a review of the LMX5300SP at some point.
I’ve contacted them. Would like to try asap.
Lawn looks 👍 good
I'd say there is something not quite right with how that attachment has connected to the shaft as it should not be doing that. Keen to see a review of Stihl battery system even if it is just borrowing that equipment due to cost because I would think a few professionals would move to battery if they knew what they were paying for was reliable and similar power to petrol
Would like an in depth review of Stihl myself. But the major issue I have with those is the price per battery for the amount you get from them on the same type of insane lawns Tim does. I have kikuyu lawns too and some have taken hours of heavy trimming. I am however spoiled and have a 13 year old Makita 4-stroke that I consider the best petrol trimmer, but in their great wisdom they retired the whole petrol lineup in favour of cheap battery toys. And it'll die on me one day...
I think Makita has the best split shaft connection. Has a lever clamp and red button that locks the 'pin' in. Fast, easy and never comes loose. The Makita XGT has a pretty soft trigger.
Only thing that will annoy you is the 2 second tool shutdown of releasing safety trigger. Has on off button. No ideas why it so short. The blower and mower stay on for at least a minute.
It would be interesting to see you review some more AEG 58V gear. I have recently bought my first battery mower being a 21 inch AEG 58V as I wanted the battery size as well as the metal chassis. It has plenty of power and the self propelled function is awesome but find the chute to the catcher can clog a bit as it seems a bit narrow compared to my old petrol mower.
I have the mower and will make some videos.
Ne vždy mám dobrou zkušenost se značkou AEG a to myslím i v domácnosti. Musí se pečlivě vybírat! 👍👋🌿
ihave a dewalt xr terrific i swapped the head to ego head it it ripps 6 amp 54 volt 0r 9 amp 54 volt this goes better than the 6 amp
How many times did you have to retighten the shaft?
7'2 😂😂😂😂 also do u think the aeg would be a great little combo tool for a very small back yard?
Bought the same power head with an assortment of tools in a $700 pack. Took it back after 3 days, Bunnos said user error and sent me away. Same problem persisted (cutting out) rep came to our workplace with a loaner head, took ours away for “assessment” that was September. Last message response was January “no stock available as soon as available we’ll get it to you” rubbish product rubbish service.
Stick with Husky, Stihl or ego, if your business relies on this gear.
I've been wanting to buy the 18v mower, line trimmer, and blower. I have the tools and extra batteries but just don't know if is should pull the trigger to buy them. After seeing it slip out all the time has me worried.
Have you tried Greenworks? I just picked up a bundle deal with mower, multi tool and blower. I’ve only used it once but seems pretty good.
If your talking about the 60v Greenworks ... yes they are pretty good tools. I have the blower and 51cm mower for 2 years now.... mower has been faultless and the blower is powerful. My blower is developing an occasional sticky trigger issue recently but both tools are good value for the performance you get. I find that with battery mowers the front end is light so in order to get the best cut I pull up on the handle while using the push mower. This keep the front end from lifting a little and gives the most consistent cuts.
Yes I’ve got some of the greenworks stuff here
The connection for the poles (?) needs to be longer, it’s always too short and you get too much play.
7 foot 2 :-)
Any chance on a review of your Milwaukee blower?
Yep I’ll do something on it
That's a shocking strimmer mate lol stihl 2 stroke all the way 👌💪💪
Tim, do you think that Stihl has the best trimmer on the market? I use a home-level trimmer that is battery powered and I love it, but the line does get tangled if it gets too long. One bad result of it. It has a pre-loaded line cartridge head on it and the line can't be longer than about 3.5 inches (sorry I am from the US - don't know metric! lol). Anyway, just curious on your thoughts of the best trimmer.
All the brands have multiple different models for different price ranges and applications. The “best” trimmer for me isn’t necessarily the best for you.
Ive been using the AEG 58V Mower and Line Trimmer for years, never had this issue with the trimmer. Im interested in the edger attachment as well, but given how poor your sample is Im not sure its worth reviewing.
Good to hear you haven’t had an issue 👍
NTSH443 I am the same as you. Had mine for 8 years, never an issue
👍❤️
I'm curious, what was that big grey box thing against the fence in the garden? 🤔 🤔
Water tank
I was also wondering what that was
@@65Coasty 👍🏻
Rainwater tank
@@turfandtoolsAussie dog house if you ask Blademate 😁
What trimmer line / cord do you use.
My whipper snipper came with the absolutely worst stuff
2.7mm round line
@@turfandtoolsthanks for quick response. will make a trip to the big green shed tomorrow
The Milwaukee lives again! Or maybe the sequencing is out of whack?
This is pre bolt
@@turfandtools yeah, I thought that might be the case
RIP Milwaukee 😢
Looks like AEG should stick to white goods IMO. I know it's not top-end, but the shaft looks really flimsy. FO the price, I'd personally expect something more solid. I think you could find a swerve on what you do by consulting with designers on what an end-user actually needs. Can't say I'd buy that one having watched this, mate.
Two different companies. The tool division is owned by the makers of Ryobi and Milwaukee.
@@gregf4170 True, but they are all owned by the Chinese power tool giant TTI. Electrolux owns AEG but licenses TTI to distribute globally under individual manufacturer names. They (TTI) own masses of company rights to manufacture and distribute. Most are made in China and then shipped out even though company registrations are inside the receiving country. For example, Electrolux is registered here. It's a flipping minefield trying to unravel who owns what these days. My reference was to when AEG were German-owned and built to a standard that is pretty absent these days. Might have changed again as I type this 🤣🤣
I cant believe the battery and charger is 800 dollars thats twice the amount for the unit .. to me thats ridiculous
If it is available at Bunnings, it will be a compromise over professional grade gear... always a price point to reach... Commercial users will always be happier with commercial grade gear, they rely on it and the slight extra upfront costs are soon recovered in efficiency, lower downtime, better ergonomics and longer life of the product. Some brands have a distinct DIY and trade range (Bosch Green vs. Blue) others blur the line... That joiner should have been the most durable part of the machine, it is under load and frequently used... do they ever do any real testing on these before they release them to the marketplace... It's not only AEG, many other have niggling little issues, but they do add up to a reason to look for something else... A replacement collar clamp could be engineered and retro-fitted to these to make them so much better... $10 each to get a container load made... making a more powerful version just exposes some of these issues sooner...
If you're 7'2" they must need a ladder to hang clothes 😆
have you spelled Carthic for us yet? 🙏
Patiently waiting for the ozito mower review. Must be terrible.
No mate, just a terrible reviewer. So much stuff keeps popping up 😂
Maybe drill the nipple hole out .5 of a mil to see if it locks in better
I suspect part of the problem is it's alread wider than the insert. Too much play already.
Well you convinced me this is not worth buying.
Ouch , pricey...
You have to wonder about the prototype testing that these companies do before launching a new product. It seems fairly basic to make sure the connections on multi-tool heads actually work. My EGO line trimmer winds the string around the spindle itself with the touch of a button, so I don’t have to do it by hand. It’s not the commercial model. If I was a pro, having to rewind string by hand every time I ran out would be very annoying. Secondly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a miniature mower like the one that homeowner bought to tackle that yard. Looked fairly useless for anything. Why do people buy these tiny, underpowered toys?
Ozito branded mower. Not only small but cheap. And I say that as an Ozito hand tool user.
its not that good the aeg but guts it has to do that job
Weird …. Ive had the 18v line trimmer for about 3 years. I assume they are the same and I’ve never had that happen.
I have the 58v AEG mower. I don’t rate it. It’s heavy and the body digs in on the lowest 2 setting. Does a very average cut above that. And doesn’t cut every grass leaf/blade. It like it doesn’t have enough suction on the rotation like I get from my old 15 year old B&S steelfort
7.2😂😂😂😂😂
7’2? 😂😂😂
No I would drive me up the wall. I would rather pay more and get something I can use wi😢th ease.
$400 for just the skin and $700 for the batteries. You be better off buying a Honda UMK425 straight shaft for $550
The unit you are suggesting is a petrol trimmer though. There are people that want battery gear for less noise, less vibrations, no emissions and no servicing. The UMK425 is a solid unit though.
AEG are billed as Ryobi’s “trade quality” alternative. But they are 💩. When I worked at Bunnings AEG tools were always being brought in for repairs. Whereas Ryobi were hardly ever returned. Their power garden range was the same
I used my AEG stuff fitting bullbars and Towbars for 10 years. They're still going strong.
I would never buy one of those
rubbish, ryobi seems better quality.
My understanding is that the same company makes both Ryobi and AEG or the same parent company or something I forget exactly.
@@lukeporter8614they are all TTI
They also own Milwaukee, AEG/Rigid, Ryobi and Homelite
TTI owns Milwaukee, AEG and Ryobi as well as some others. Milwaukee generally gets the best stuff, followed by AEG, followed by Ryobi. Ryobi have the same design flaws that this unit has, but with batteries that aren't as good.
I have a ryobi one and I don't have problem with it like the aeg one and I find that ryobi is way better and way easier to use and set up and the batteries last way longer and I only have and use 18v 5.oah batteries
lol, the AEG is a commercial tool, the Ryobi isn't.
The only bad thing is the connection of the two rods, that'll go first.
thats a disgusting use of a golf net
AEG is rubbish
