Pioneer vs uForce comparison
This is a short overview of both vehicles showing a comparison of similar features. I did not finish this comparison because the uForce broke frequently and stayed in the dealer's shop, and I sold it a few weeks later. I was really disappointed with the uForce because I liked the look of it. Several friends have had similar experiences with their units, and also sold them.
The first time I took the uForce in for a repair was the day after I bought it. A week later, they replaced the drive belt and clutch plates and some other stuff. When I took it in for repair the second time, the dealer informed me that their earlier repairs had partially voided the power train warranty. I tried several ...

Simpson Pressure Washer -- Ughhh
Просмотров 719Месяц назад
I had high hopes for this pressure washer. The engine locked up while I was making the video. I returned it and got a refund. Instead of buying a cheapo washer, save your money and buy a better one. If you have one like this and you want a better one, then do some work with your existing washer and use that money to buy a better one. Despite the engine lockup, I published this video with the ho...
Limb Cutters -- Komok vs Mellif
Просмотров 752 месяца назад
Both pruners are very useful tools, but also very dangerous. Komok: amzn.to/45pwQk9 Mellif: amzn.to/45pwQk9 The Komok is absolutely the better tool. It costs $225 and includes the tool, two batteries and a charger in a hard shell case. The Mellif pruner works, but I honestly think it's the most dangerous tool I've ever owned. It's only safety feature is having to pull the trigger twice to turn ...

Della Mini Split Installation

First off, this unit is working great for me. It has been installed for 3 weeks. This is a 12000 BTU unit. There are several Della mini-split installation videos on RUclips. I did this video to show some of the steps and installation surprises most other videos gloss over. I installed this unit about 1 week before uploading the video, and so far it's worked great. It easily cools my garage, eve...
The hidden cost of a Mini Split AC Unit
Просмотров 2732 месяца назад
This video shows some of the hidden costs and unexpected complexity of installing a mini-split air conditioner unit. This unit works as advertised, as long as it's installed properly. It cools my garage very good in the hottest part of the day. If you buy a unit like this for your garage, you may want to also insulate your garage door. I did, and it make a huge difference in the heat in summer,...
Kobalt Pole Saw - 40V Max
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.3 месяца назад
This is a review and demo of the Kobalt 10ft pole saw with the 40V Max Lithium Ion battery. I was apprehensive when I first unboxed it, but then started to really like it. It is 7 feet long without the center pole extension, and 10 feet long with it. The extension makes it wobbly, but it works fine. If you buy this, remember to fill it with oil and grease the bar, as shown in the video. Bar gre...
40V Kobalt Weedeater Review
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.3 месяца назад
All things considered, this has been a pretty good weed-eater/trimmer. I would classify it as a "maintainer" rather than a work-horse. If you keep your lawn cut and the weeds knocked down, then this is a good tool to maintain it. It can handle most common weeds and grass. It comes with the battery, charger, and about 4 feet of weak, 0.08 string. I was able to put 0.095 Stihl string in mine, and...
Kobalt 40V Chainsaw Review
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.3 месяца назад
I'm giving an honest opinion about the Kobalt 40V chainsaw, after using it for a few weeks. It worked good for me and has a decent price point for an electric saw. This saw is for home and light farm use. Not made for heavy grade timber. It has solid construction and decent battery life. The biggest weakness I found was the bar and chain. The bar and chain that came with the saw were damaged wi...

Kobalt Air Compressor Review & Demo
Просмотров 735Год назад
Quick review of the Kobalt air compressor. As of the time of this video, I owned this for 2 months and used it numerous times. It has been working correctly with no problem. I am very careful with it and store it in the box. I gave it a 5/10 because it is cheaply made and not user-serviceable. The weakest parts are the side doors, which will most certainly break off, leaving the unit without a ...

Pressure Washer & Small Engine Maintenance
Had mine for 3 yrs. Batteries still good but the trimmer cuts off every 3 seconds. But if you let off the switch then squeeze it again it starts back up. Aggravating as crap
Just curious if the wall is still holding up.
It's still solid. I have to add dirt and gravel behind it occasionally.
The box on the new kit shows 5 years and 3 years
Does 10w30 work as well?
Good video, this helped a lot. I still have trouble trying to wind in the cord , that plastic knob is so hard to turn. I saw another way on line to install the cord without having to wind it.
You got a backhoe put forks on it move bag on pallets
When you replace the culvert, make it a double pipe
Had same problem with screw on hinge not flushing. Pool clamp for hoses did the job.
Jus wondering since the family changed the roof style for a storage roof...so they jus throwing the leashes & dog bowls inside on top of the dog? Or did i miss a part!
My topvision has a different problem. When I charge it to 100% and then use it to jump a dead battery it doesn't work. Just get a click from the car. Meter shows 86%. Used it to charge my cell phone, works for a couple minutes then goes dead. My experience says stay as far away from topvision as you can.
I washed mines in the washing machine it work for three days after then stop can u help me?
How long should I cut the string replacement?
I usually cut 3 feet.
I've been doing garage woodworking for years and I love the details you present. Like you said, many woodworking videos leave out small details but the thing that is most wrong with many of them is, that you have a woodworker with a $100,000 shop trying to convince us that "this project is a piece of cake". Sure it is for you, you've got every state-of-the-art tool and 20 sponsors to make it look easy. And, if you have a shop like that, you don't need RUclips videos. But, the most impressive thing about your video, is when you show us how you kneel down and put weight on your knees on a cold concrete floor. Ouch!
Yep. I do the poor man's carpentry. So many of the RUclips "pros" gloss over the things that create problems for most viewers because the "pros" have every tool ever invented, and they're very experienced. I try to show a real experience. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Holy hack job, batman.
Nice handy loblolly planting tips. Good luck with the light belt endeavor
Thank you.
Just got mine. Awesome. Game changer for viewing Trichomes.
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Had mine for 2 years then it stopped working... it runs still but too slow to be useful. DO NOT BUY. Also had several batteries go bad too.
I just bought a pair, but they're the Tur IR version, which i assume is the same. But it isn't a green color. Is there a difference?? I paid 80. I just plan to use for the occasional wildlife or to look out around house if any shenanigans happen at night. For my purposes it seems these at a great choice.
What is the adapter size too pull the vacuum is is 5/16 or 1/2 inch adapter
5/16
Hey every thought to make it a hybrid? Put an engine on it? With moters too
I know some people like their CFMoto machines. Mine was obviously a lemon. I have a few friends who had the same experience as me and have sold their machines. And my dealer was very dishonest about telling me that had plenty of spare parts, and in saying that their customers loved the uForce 1000. They have since quit selling CFMoto.
Shouldnt buy based on ratings! Because you have a lot of stupid people that rate Five Stars based on Oh I got it in the mail and it looks good so if I start reading and yet they have not even tried it
How many times do you actually say Pioneer? Dadgum!
Not enough. It's a great machine. 😁
Mike, thanks for the video it's packed with a lot of very helpful info (restring). I just bought a new Kobalt weed eater I never used a weed eater before so I was lost on how to use it. I looked at other videos on RUclips and they were not as good as yours. 2 thumbs up.
Thank you. I appreciate the good feedback. Glad I could be helpful. That's why I do the videos.
you should never us loctite on flare fittings
Why not? I would like to know. I always have and never had any problems from doing it. My AC guy said to do it.
@@MikeM100 it goes against best practices, loctite should never be used on brass fittings
Personally, I’ve done gas propane and natural gas and HVAC for a long time. I have never used anything on a flare fitting….ever. I have never seen one loosen up from vibration or anything else for that matter. In gas work, it’s actually against code to use anything on the threads. I have just recently started using Nylog on the flare only. And that’s only because soft copper lines have gotten so much thinner in recent years. When you compress the copper flare to the brass fitting, it compresses to a certain extent and “springs” back so to speak, putting force on the nut and acting as it’s own thread locker, kind of. But, I would never use loctite on brass fittings, ever.
I'm almost positive that your AC guy was referring to Nylog, not Loctite, even if he said "Loctite". They kind of look similar (the blue Loctite anyway, not red), but in HVAC work, the Nylog is used not on the threads (nothing goes on the threads for brass/copper), but on the lip of the flare itself. Also, two more suggestions if I might? - Use a hammer drill for drilling through brick or other stone/concrete stuff. It's an absolute game changer and what it was made for. That half hour brick hole of yours would have taken about 2 minutes, no kidding. - If you're installing more mini splits in your future, consider getting your own flaring tool to cut your copper lines to size. They're not that expensive for a good set. Same with a basic vacuum pump and gauge set. You'll save a LOT of money over hiring your AC friend to come do this stuff and won't have to wait on him.
I read somewhere in many reviews the motor has a fan cooling it, as opposed to other motors.
My unit doesn't have a cooling fan.
Love this guy. He showed us how to advance the string. We have struggled with that.
I’m struggling with the guard 🥴
So did I. That was harder than putting in the string.
Thank you for helping me not feel crazy and like I'm the only one. Guess I'll just go fight with more and see if I can get it on.
You're definitely not the only one. My neighbor bought one and brought it to house because he could not get the guard on. It's a bad design.
The Briggs engine is an "off the shelf" part. That is why there are two fills. Many applications. Thank you for the review!
Is circular saw noise THAT high in decibels for needed head phone protection?..Gawd,..better crack out that B.A.R. or M-1 Garand while your at it, .LOL!!
Jesus man, most people did NOT get covid, even 4 years ago but had to walk around with those worthless face diapers in public. I'm 69 and I never got the 'clot shot' and all the worthless follow up 'booster' shots that made big pharma multi of milliions of dollars. A Nice/simple dog house here but can you change your shirt to Texas A&M? and don't forget to get your 10th. booster shot, 'Doctor' Fauci reccomends it. Robert at 69 in Arizona.
We had high hopes for a simpson as well but the fuel cap locked in place after first use. We could not remove it without drilling as the locking sleeve had moved during operation. it also did not come with owner's manual nor engine owner's manual. we think it was a previously returned washer.
Sounds like you also got a lemon. There seem to be a lot lemons lately in power tools. Quality is disappearing as more manufacturing goes overseas.
hey the best gas pressure washer is the simpson 3.5gpm 4000 psi machine with a honda motor the reason why it locked up is because it did not have a honda motor. i have 4 of those simpson machines with a honda motor like i mentioned and i use all of them daily for my powerwashing buisiness. all 4 of them are over 2 years old and still running perfectly. always make sure to change oil and use fresh ethanol free gas.
20:35 Nice video. Just an FYI you don't need to use the entire can as a "one shot" deal. In fact I would suggest you leave the outlet disconnected, then attach and spray just until it comes out and that's it...put it away until the next time you need to use it. I see people are saying to get the Simpson that uses a Honda engine. Couldn't agree more. Price wise it's about 50% more on sale but well worth that extra cheddar.
Thanks. I've probably been wasting a lot of pump protector. Just always want to make sure it's well lubed.
my pump blew up on mine
I've heard that from a lot of folks. Simpson has lot a lot of quality.
Always spend a little more and get the one with the Honda engine.
Solid advice
Got a simpson 7 years ago still going strong. This dude is wrong about the pressure washer. One of the best in the busines. Need the one with honda engine
Not wrong. The one I got locked up. Junk. Buy a better brand or a more expensive Simpson with a better engine.

@@OhDatsHarrison2732 I have heard a lot of people praise the Simpson with the Honda engine. And I agree that Honda probably makes the best small engine. I'm going to give it a look. Thanks for watching and responding.
@@MikeM100 no problem
Great explanation!
@scottswinda The Della unit is charged but the lines comeing from the indoor unit are not charged like a MrCool mini.
That's why pulling a vacuum is necessary. I got an AC installer friend to pull the vacuum for me and he confirmed that it needed to be done. I wanted to put that in the video, but he didn't want to be on camera.
The one part I needed to see you don't show.
What do you need to see?
La parte que quería ver no la enseña 👎🏻
I want to se da vacuum part
Hey if that mini split is precharged it shouldn't need the lines vacuumed
The lines are open to the air. If you don't pull a vacuum then air will be in the lines, which will degrade it's performance. That is also in the manual. I got an AC installer friend to pull the vacuum for me and he confirmed that was the case.
@@scottswinda4727 Non-condensibles are one of the biggest problems with compressor failures.
Hey Mike, thanks for posting this. I'm about to have to construct a quikrete retaining wall myself. I'm curious, how is it holding up?
It's doing good 2.5 years later. The concrete is rock solid. The dirt behind keeps washing out and I keep refilling it.
In hindsight, I wish I had made it 2 layers deep. But we were in a rush because I had tree planters coming in and needed to finish pretty quick. Thanks for watching.
My dad accidentally put mixed oil instead of gas ,how can I fix the problem?
Just empty it out. It should be ok. Most gas has a very small amount of oil in it anyhow.
What brand would you recommend instead? My dad is on the hunt for a good pressure washer.
Stihl is a good brand
I was between a Simpson and a Ryobi-I decided to go with a different one completely. This was helpful! I saw great reviews online, but seeing someone's honest opinion is nice. Great video!
Why would you go with Ryobi? That's like picking between ricin and cyanide. Stay away from both

That's a lot of damn work. I'm actually doing one this week. Y'all did a great job considering the limited resources and equipment. Whether it holds up for a year or 3 months, if got out of the house during COVID. Just some friendly advice, make sure you rent a compactor and use it for the other side. Just cause the concrete got solid doesn't mean it can withstand that hill sliding. I'd pay close attention to it, but especially when driving over it in the rain. Use rebar vertically as well. But hats off man, that's some good ole redneck ingenuity. Good job. I can't wait to see updates.
Thanks. I appreciate the advice and appreciate you watching. The wall is still in great shape. It was a lot of work , but my son helped with a lot of it, and doing a big job with his was fun. We can still drive a small dozer across it.
I dont like that battery place at all, I prefer the previous 40 volt Kobalt that Lowes was selling last year where the battery loaded from the top, and the MPS chain speed is faster. Evidently Lowes or Kobalt discontinued that model 1 month after I bought one.......
I don't know if this is true, but I was told that the batteries kept overheating when the saw was used for a long duration, which prompted a redesign.
@@MikeM100 But the bigger Kobalt saws still have battery on top.
How many on average can you plant per hour?
It depends on the ground and the heat. I can plant around 150-200 per hour if the temp is below 70. Less if it's hotter he aise I need more water breaks. Harder soil and this grass also slow me down .
What type of pressure washer surface can you use if you're doing a driveway and sidewalks and how many inches please
I normally use a 13 inch scrubber. The 3100 psi washer can easily power a 16in scrubber.
@@MikeM100 what if I have a 3000 psi would that work
Yes. A 3000 psi washer should work with a surface scrubber. Just make sure you have the pressure turned up to full strength
great idea and execution.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching.
