Thought so! I gotta make time to stop by today. :}

which one you will get?
Blower & weed eater. No need for the trimmer.
is it a bare tool only or does it come with a battery?
Pics Ricky, pics please of the blower. I do like that thing! 🙂

It would also be awesome if Dewalt converted some of the 36v construction tools to 40v. I think they will keep things separate though
Looks good. Which Lowes is that Ricky? The big box stores in south Houston typically get all the new stuff first.

This was in Tomball. Which is a “Farm Store” from what I’ve been told. They carry more specialty things like big mowers, trailers, sheds, etc.
I checked inventory and seems like most North Houston stores have a few in stock.
Wish I neededsummer yard tools. But with 4ft of snow, it isn’t happening any time soon.

10 miles north to 2920. Downtown Tomball.
I just saw this display today in my Lowes. Pricing was simple everything was $299.00 each.
Didn’t get to make it to lowes today
im heading to the riverside lowes tmw. never been there before. if you want you can join me
Dude MM sounds good man but as soon as u stop by we’re off to wifeys parents house Cus her pops just got out hospital today so that’s where we will b for the day.
I wish Milwaukee had some outdoor yard equipment. I can’t believe the cfm Dewalt got with the 20v leaf blower. Its not too far off from the EGO I’m sure the runtime is a lot less. I really don’t want to have a ton of different battery platforms.

alright man – no problem
DR I know the brushless 20v blower is around the corner and i have a lot of 20v batterys and I reallllllly don’t wanna jump on another battery platform voltage wise but man I have that itch to buy….DR99 wrote:

I know that itch all too well, but If you don’t need another battery platform don’t do it. I’m kinda effed between EGO and Greenworks now. I think I will Sell my EGO stuff when the season is hot and get the greenworks hedge trimmer. I have the little Worx gt2.0 string trimmer from TIA it works great so a new string trimmer is hard to justify. I also have a gas powered commercial 4 stroke edge. I got that really cheap as a return. It blows some white smoke but it works.

While the CFM is outstanding for a battery unit, the speed is a bit lower as well. I have a floor fan that’s over 4,000 CFM for instance. Of course their purpose is different, but numbers aren’t everything. I look forward to a hands on review that compares it to the market before I jump, but if it’s legit this will probably be my new addition since it comes in kit form with a 5.0.
I assume this is a us only release so far.
any word on an eu release.
I am in the market for a blower. I was going to buy a petrol one but this would be great . I only need it for a small bit at home but would use it on sites for clean up of the yard after sawing etc.
I would be interested in a hedge trimmer . it would be good for light touching up of hedges. little and often affair
I can’t find out the spec’s on the ego blower regarding the MPH only CFM which is 480 with an hour of run time on low. The new greenworks 80v is 500cfm with 125 mph. Green works is saying 70miniutes of run time with that one, but the charge time is fast only 30 min for a 2.0ah pack. The worst was the Ryobi blower I had it worked but it was so slow to get anything done.
Initial impression…. I’m impressed. The Chargers include a wall mount bracket. The ergonomics are nice and they’re well balanced. I didn’t Fire them up yet, didn’t getbyhe batteries on the charger until about 30 minutes ago.
Very interested everyone’s opinions on these once they’re more accessible. Like many on the forum, I’m pretty invested in the 20V lineup and would like to see how these hold up. Has anyone heard about whether DeWalt plans on releasing a mower to go along with the rest of their yard tools?
rick let us know how they do when u run them I’m really interested bro I can’t for the 20v blower to hit the stores 2.RickyMcGrath wrote:

i checked out the lawn equip today too – the blower looks really sturdy
UPDATE:
The blower is great! I’ve been using it to clean my job sites and roofs. Great balance. Battery’s charge in 40 minutes or so. I blew my garage out and driveway off a few times yesterday while doing some wood working and the battery lasted throughout the day. Powerful enough to blow 1×6 wood scraps up to 8-10″ long with ease.
The trigger has a lock to lock on to reduce fatigue. It’s a variable speed trigger that isn’t too sensitive and easy to control. It also locks off to prevent accidental power on.
The Chargers have a wall mount which is great. The batteries sit in the charger under their own weight and don’t require the lock to be released which makes for easy one one handed changes from the charger. Especially if the charger is mounted in a not so convenient location.
Overall I’m pleased with the blower. I’m going to try the trimmer edger this afternoon if it dries up a little around here.
great to hear that you like the new blower
Thanks for the update Rick how do u like the run time?

Pretty impressed.
I just ran the weed eater for a bit between the rain. It’s pretty good. Trimmed up my whole yard and blew the rear patio on the same battery. Still have some battery left.
I have about a 6,000 sq ft lot.
Nice!!! Thanks rick that’s really good I have about the same size lot.
