    Leaf blower works great. Gets where you cannot get your tool or a broom. Stiff bristle broom for stubborn stuff. Wear a mask and use a big fan in the doorway if dust is an issue.

      dust!! Not blowing up and stiring up dust all over the place in the shop my brotha...that's the deal...even the broom is horrible with dust...this is the solution

    • @davedavis662
      @davedavis662 Před 2 lety +2

      It does kick up a serious mess of dust, but if you place a big shop fan in the door pointing out and open a side or back door the draft pulls it out. Plus you can blow off vertical surfaces, walls other elements a sweeper can’t . Plus it does a he11 of a job quickly. I’ll never push a sweeper again if I can avoid it.

      I have a large machine shed with a concrete floor. Tried the old leaf blower technique with the barn fan blowing it out the door. Instant regret! Thick coating of dust all over all the machinery plus’s breathing in all that crap. You’re on the right track with the push sweeper.

    Hey Josh! That floor sweeper is a step in the right direction! Certainly a time saver that does a good job! Now some bright bulb needs to take this concept and combine it with an electric battery powered, self-propelled, ""roomba", so you don't have to be the "self" behind... propelling it! But until that happens, I wonder if you could attach a heavy duty magnet to pick up any nails, screws, washers, etc.?!

    We got one of these for our demo company. You could imagine all the stuff we might come across and sweep up day after day. One huge upgrade we made to it was we attached a shop vac motor to the top. 5hp ridgid motor and a bigger filter to let the air out. Thing is a monster and saves us hours on jobs. Made the company a lot more efficient.

    It's kind of hilarious how many feels the need to create yet another thread about adding a magnet strip to pick up screws nails and whatever magnetic materials. A couple I can understand but by the twentieth I have to wonder if they even looked if someone else had posted just that.
    Then there the "Just use a leaf blower dude. Much faster!" crowd. I have a vivid memory of it being said early on in the video that one of the goals were to be able to clean the shop without kicking up clouds of dust, something the leaf blower is pretty good at. Kicking up dust that is, which was exactly what was not desirable. And again there's not one, not two but more like twenty to thirty threads started about this.
    Heck if dust wasn't an issue there's better solutions than a leaf blower. But as it IS an issue then so are almost all mechanized solutions that are somewhat affordable.
    Having said all of this I have to say I'm surprised that a Kärcher turns out to be the cheapest flor sweeper on Amazon. Usually Kärcher doesn't really touch the cheap ass market.

    Actually seems to work better than I expected and there’s not really a wide head vacuum available either. That really needs a line of magnets screwed underneath though, that’s the whole point of a shop vac, getting rid of nails before they end up in a tyre. I’ll stick with my vac and wet mop though as I like a super clean space. Should work out great for your size of building though

    That tool looks like a great idea with a price-point driven implementation. I think I'd sooner pay $250 for a more robust tool than $150 for a very plastic-y looking one. Some parts make sense to be made out of light weight plastic, like the dust collection bin - but the basic framework of the tool really should be made of metal. It is hard to tell without putting hands on it, but it looks like it might give up the ghost too soon and then $150 would be wasted.
