what's up all we're uploading the Powermate video for the second time
couple people emailing me saying they could not get the video in their country
very strange if you haven't watched the first time we uploaded it watch at this
time this thing is BEASTLY! can't wait to show you let's get it started
I'm just gonna start this video out by saying holy hell I have done another
review for a Powermate piece of equipment that I just really struggle
with but this right here is a complete opposite this thing is an absolute
monster no matter what the attachment you are using on this thing it just eats
through everything could possibly be the best piece of power equipment that I
have used to date now we're going to use the trimmer we're gonna use the edger
and we're gonna use the blower the blower and the edger our sold separately
does not come in the kit but I will put a link in the description below for all
of these pieces now it is a 43 CC it's a two-stroke motor and believe it or not
it only weighs 39 pounds but what's nice about this it is extremely fast
extremely easy to put the different attachments on all you do is pop that
clip right there slide in the next shaft tighten it down and it is ready to go
check this out I was blown away by this you just push up on that little trigger
right there and now it swivels if you got to get closer to a wall or some
parameter if you need to do your edging if you want to switch up your angle when
you're blowing off the grass or your leaves it actually swivels I will show
you how this works out in the video but just to let you know 20 to 30 percent
trimmer head swivel to trim along a wall or a fence or five to ten percent
trimmer head bevel I'll show you that as well
precise angle cutting this is the kind of stuff I love to see now I'll tell you
what it works really really well no buttons no bending down nothing
now motor itself again 43 CC this thing is a beast mode what I look for first
when this first came in was is there a primer bulb and yes there is you just
pump it about four times and it starts up right away this was so easy to get
started it was night and day compared to the edger that I had previous to this
you also have the on/off switch and you have the choke to get this thing going
I'm telling you is so easy all you gotta do is push that down turn
it on and then pull that string and no worries I will let you hear this thing
in action I just want you to see in here what this thing actually can do well yep
that is your throttle right there right up by the handle bar and yeah it's
basically a variable speed it's not a one setting and go you can adjust the
power that you want simply by hitting that gas it almost reminded me of the
go-kart that I have when I was younger with so much fun with that up there I'll
tell you this thing has power coming out the arse I mean it was really impressive
what we're gonna do though is we are going to try to use the string trimmer
first it has been so wet and so nasty around here in the Ohio area I really
struggled to shoot this video you know the trimmer was fine the blower was fine
but you know the edger I struggle with because there's so much mud but fYI that
is where your fuel mixture goes and you'll even get a little canister of the
mix it's fifty to one now it's nice about the trimmer you get that huge
guard I'll tell you it only took me about five minutes to assemble
everything you just put that handle on when it comes out of the box but look at
those wheels those wheels are massive makes everything so easy to get this
thing around and do the trimming and the edging and everything really like the
larger wheels on this they are twelve inch ball bearing wheels by the way and
let me show you how this works here now this is just going around the parameter
of the house and I will turn this up a little bit later when we go through the
heavier stuff and I'll let you hear this but what really stood out to me was if
you're an older person and you don't want to carry a weed trimmer with you
this is a great option all you're doing is pushing and cutting it is a really
nice option to have for the older people or people with back problems because you
are not carrying anything you're basically just pushing and walking
behind now another really cool thing is you can actually adjust this height
right here on the wheel if you were trying to get a little bit closer to the
ground you can see that border right there that stone and that grass is still
going over top of it now you can tilt that five to ten degrees and you can
actually get closer to that stone check that
so freakin awesome man alright let's do one more thing here we're gonna swivel
this out we're gonna get closer to that piece of wood right here and we'll go to
the filled area where the grass is really high and we'll turn that volume
up so check that out how close you can get to that barrier it is I'm telling
you what this thing is just and it's just a beastly beastly machine it is
awesome so yeah you can get really close to your border areas but what I want to
do is I want to see can we actually mow with this like they say you can't we're
gonna go with some really nasty stuff here let's turn off the volume so you
might want to turn yours down
this 12 inch wheels really make it nice to go over the rough terrain you can see
it just slices and dices through that heavier stuff like not a really really
impressive just a closer look you can see that grass just wet nasty it's
literally the first time I've seen Sun in the last week but real simple to
change out real simple or let's change out those string lines all you got to do
is loosen up that screw right there pop a couple new ones in and what's really
cool is they actually come with the Machine and you get that little holder
right there just go up to the Home Depot or wherever buy more and then throw them
in there if you need them so real quick change out and that guard works
excellent all right trimmer awesome let's change it out to the edger real
simple to do just pop that trimmer out pop the edger in this is really cool
sold separately again I will put the link in the description below now you
got an 8-inch straight blade on this you can adjust
the depth on this real easy I'll show you how to do that but you also got two
wheels there 4.75 round to adjust the depth all you got to do is turn that
knob right there you also got a nice little guard down
here to protects the casing so if you bounce it off the ground you'll have to
worry about cracking anything and again 2.5 max edging depth right now my yard
is absolute mud I will tell you though before it started raining 40 days and 40
nights here I had tried this on the dryer soil and it just dominated it
all right here we go I'm going to give it to you from my perspective
all right you see that line right there it is just all blood I really wish it
dried out for you
now starting to kick up a little bit in there
alright let's take one more power to clean it up a little bit
and you can see how I had that head swiveled for that edger and just to give
me a heads up that is what it sounds like
alright let's put on the blower attachment 170 mile per hour 520 CFM now
it's cool on this is you've got a seven inch spinner style head right on the
front there now not only can you swivel the main body of the machine but you can
swivel this tip down here to force that air out basically whichever way you want
to go main issue with this was well the bolt it tightens that it down too much
plastic what I like to have seen some metal and I wish there was an attachment
you can actually put in there to actually blow that air straight while
you're pushing ahead we got some clumpy wet grass a starter up so easy to start
this check it out
damn that got some power check out the force of air this thing is pushing out
you can see it right on the grass
all right let's try to push this grass down towards the road or in towards the
neighbor's yard
that is freakin awesome again the only two things I found with this was yep the
swivel head on this I wish the nut was actually metal not plastic a little bit
too much there for me and I wish there was an attachment that I can actually
face that out straight because I have to walk sideways or you have to walk down
and up on the driveway which makes me want to blow it into the grass where I
wish I could just blow it out into the street
it is however extremely powerful this thing it's just awesome and again the
first person who came to mind was my father-in-law almost 80 years old no
spring chicken probably been pressed more than me but tell you what this is
something that we can definitely used with his larger yard so at the end of
the day guys this thing is a powerhouse note weight
it's a power mate I am completely unintended blown away by this unit
because of the issues that I had with the older-style
edger that they had I was really not expecting this at all and everything
that I had thought before I took this out of the package I was wrong it is an
impressive piece of equipment especially for the price again I will put a link in
the description below now it is a two cycle so it's not just straight gas that
might be a plus for you or a negative definitely not the most quiet piece of
equipment I've ever used it will wake your neighbors up in the morning but
guess what I don't mind that and I do wish that you know that swivel nut for
that blower was metal instead of plastic but that is it this thing starts so
freaking easy it's so powerful I am really really happy with this well done
