    Having reviewed this already I can tell you it’s the tripe blade. Dust extraction is ok with the standard blades. 9ah or 12ah batteries would be a better option. I charge my batteries via the inverter in the van that runs off a leisure battery.

  • @CastleDrew1
    @CastleDrew1 3 года назад +8

    I'm sure this is already in the comments, but the issue with the dust is a combination of the triple blade and the dust extraction outlet getting clogged up, that's why the dust was kicking out. This isn't designed for a triple blade set up. I appreciate the time saved but with our one we look to use the twin blade set up and use the Armeg channelling shank to finish off, great results doing it that way.
    Also we find that when the debris falls away from the wall that can get lodged in the blade housing as well. We find that the portability is the redeeming factor as we have ours paired with the M Class Vac. Always good to see a review on a tool we use often to see others opinions.

    @rattlehead85 3 года назад +34

    Compare that to the Nagy video where he reviewed the metabo with the triple blade it is night and day. Yes the advantage is its portable with no cords but the amount of dust it kicks out just eradicates all its positives. As pointed out the metabo wins hands down. Also the price for what it is aint great considering you still have to fork out a rake of cash on batteries with reasonable life.

      @stillloading2702 3 года назад +2

      If he used the correct hose attachment it wouldn’t kick out anywhere near as much dust he just stuck the hose in the port, the dewalt interchangeable port connections go on the outside. Not only that the dewalt uses a double blade not a triple so not used as it’s intended use

    • @CastleDrew1
      @CastleDrew1 3 года назад +2

      It only kicks out that amount of dust due to the fact it was used in a fashion that it isn't designed to be used to ie the triple blade but I understand it was done this way to compare with the Metabo, which I also agree is a cracking machine.
      But we have zero issues with dust unless the outlet gets clogged, which happens from time to time on all chasers.

      My Metabo MFE 40 Wall Chaser and ASR 35 vac are decent. When the tool triggers activated, the vac kicks in. Dewalt make a load of crap now. It's Black & Decker Stanley owned. Really doesn't last.

  • @effervescence5664
    @effervescence5664 3 года назад +5

    I would not have paid 850 quid for the chaser and battery - I got mine, the metabo triple blade, 2 batteries and the vacuum for 1000. I have a total of 4 batteries now and it'll do an entire kitchen without issue. You got a hell of a lot more dust than I normally do out of it though, I will say that you can't chase as fast with it because of the dust extraction but I have heard of people cutting the dust guide inside the cover so it gets more suction.

  • @olly7673
    @olly7673 3 года назад +3

    I'm Dewalt everything apart from a Mikwaukee 12V angled drill. I was tempted when looking for a chaser, looked into that one but comparing it with the Metabo kit
    there's no comparison. I've not used the Dewalt but the Metabo, as shown by many in YT is dust free, not like the Dewalt. I take the argument it might not be designed for the triple blade but the thing that makes the Metabo so good, as well a the lack of dust, is the quick channeling it achieves by using the triple blade. Also, It might have been a fairer comparison if you had have used your Metabo dust extractor instead of the Bosch.

  • @Fazzers
    @Fazzers 3 года назад +2

    assuming your always running any chaser with an extractor that needs mains power, doesn't seem worth the huge price for just the tool to be cordless and have to still be connected to a hose

  • @bansheehd3474
    @bansheehd3474 3 года назад +2

    I am an apprentice and I use this wall chaser nearly daily and we have the deWalt vacuum and we rarely get any dust when using it so I recommend the DeWalt vacuum but keep up the good work and good job

    • @mdjey2
      @mdjey2 Год назад

      DeWalt vacuum is pretty weak. I have also tried this combo. My great master bought this Dewalt kit. Only thing I liked about it was the handle and wheels. Honestly I think Karcher or Bosch vacuums are more powerful. I personally get one of the smaller Karcher since it is lighter to carry around and figured if it breaks faster it is cheep enough to change regularly. The main problem still might be with chaser how it directs dust.

  • @FlyingWingsOfIcarus
    @FlyingWingsOfIcarus 3 года назад +1

    There should have been a little fold down vacuum attachment on the front of the tool to get rid of all the dust. Start your cut from the top... then fold the vacuum bit into the hole. Not sure why they buggered up the dust extraction on such a tool.

  • @sparkyjarvo

  • @ianholt375

    Whats the point? If you have power for the dust extractor then you have power for a mains chaser. I think I will stick with my Metabo setup!

  • @nectafarious8842
    @nectafarious8842 3 года назад +1

    I have the Metabo 240v chaser with the inclined blade stack and it is excellent. The only downsides are the weight, which you really feel at the top of a chase, and the initial dust until the plate is flat on the wall. Makita 36v vacuum with proper joints does the job from then on.

  • @alexfletcher2708
    @alexfletcher2708 3 года назад +1

    I have and use the Metabo on a day to day to basis but with the hover as well it takes up a lot of space in the van so I do think this would be great just to keep on the van for those quick jobs where you may only need to make two or three chasses

  • @robinhadley

  • @mdjey2
    @mdjey2 Год назад

    Dust extraction is really bad with Dewalt. Actually when I first got Metabo I was confused how little dust gets out. I thought for a second that I was not cutting. Had previously worked with few wall chasers - Bosch, Hilti, Makita. None of them directed dust to hose as effectively as Metabo. Metabo has two holes for that and I am not sure completely how it works, If there is some magical physics going on, but it works well.

    @andrewwatson8544 3 года назад +2

    Nick, I have seen a video of the dewalt chaser using just two blades and the dewalt vacuum, have you tried the two blades that I assume came with the chaser? I wonder how much cleaner they run than the three blade setup? Maybe worth checking that out in a video, still think it's bloody expensive compared to your mains powered unit
    All the best to you and Adam and your families for 2022

  • @mattysheriff1881
    @mattysheriff1881 3 года назад

    I have this same tool but your review did it an injustice as regards to the dust. It was so dusty because you used it to cut out for back boxes. If you go over the same area multiple times, the hole you make with the 1st pass creates a passage for the dust to pour out. Also doesn't come with triple blade setup so the extra blade cut creates more dust for any vacuum to cope with. My tool will cut chases at full 32mm depth in hard common brick with very minimal dust. Dont rush the tool, just a steady downward pace giving it time to extract the dust. On one 6ah battery i can easily get 5 or more vertical chases top to bottom. My only criticism with the Dewalt is its length with the battery can make it difficult to handle down towards the floor. I could rave on about just how good this tool is but hey.... you are the reviewer so i suggest you use the tool properly and show us what it can really do.

    • @TheDarkDentist

  • @acelectricalsecurity
    @acelectricalsecurity 3 года назад

    A battery tool gives you convenience, jobs like that I prefer mains tools, my mate has been through 2 DeWalt 54v drills, and they weren't doing heavy work, mostly being used for red plugs.
    I have tried a few chasers over the years, and found that some spin too fast, and the extraction can't cope with it. I have had a Bosch chaser for about 15 years and while not perfect, I found it to be very good, it only spins 900rpm, works great with all vacs even cheap ones.
    You couldn't use that DeWalt chaser in a lived in house, be like using an angle grinder, plus if you were using that day in day out, I doubt it would last 5 years if it's anything like the SDS drill my mate has.

    We use the dewalts all the time. Dust is an issue with the triple blade. We have found it works a lot better with a proper connector on the chaser rather than our bodged taped efforts 👌
    Also running slower down the wall makes a massive difference. I guess it's not really designed for the triple blade so slow but steady results in minimal Dust. Haven't had the mains ones on site in months.

      @mdjey2 Год назад

      Cant do that. It is meant for pulling. That is by design. Blades go opposite direction. There are some other chasers like that, Makita for example, which I beg you don't even try. This chaser is decent, but dust is still more than with Metabo. You can kind of see how direction of cutting disks might be one of the culprits of that direction of dust because vacuum hose always goes down if you put chaser against the wall, but disks push dust in sort of opposite direction.
