One additional option for folks with both Schrader and Presta Valves is this combination from Jaco. I use it all the time on bicycle and vehicle tires and it is great. It doesn't "lock" on to the valve stem, meaning you've got to hold it there, but that's fine if you're just regularly topping...

I don't have that model specifically, but I have the more expensive 12 40 200 version (was ~$87 on Zoro). It took a fair bit of fiddling to dial it in and figure out the best placement of wire and such, but once I did that it has been solid. No complaints.

I glued (3) 3/4" sheets of MDF together, then added a hardwood face/lip around the edge that sticks up about 1/8". In that little pocket I drop a sheet of Tempered Hardboard/HDF that just sits on top. It never moves, but is easy (and cheap) to pull out and replace. It holds up really well to...

Does kokenusa.com normally take forever to ship a backordered item? I placed an order back during the Memorial Day sale that still hasn't shipped. Anyone had this experience before that can estimate how long it usually takes them to ship? (Still not anywhere close to my order direct from...

Used. Thank you!

Not sure if you mean the 3017-20 model, but I have it. I haven't used any of the other models (older, or dual battery), so I can't compare it to anything. It has been excellent for my use-cases, though. I mostly use it to clean our the garage and get leaves off the driveway/sidewalk. I haven't...

I've got the 2821-20 – M18 FUEL version and use it primarily for pruning/tree limbing with the Diablo or Milwaukee blades. It has held up well, even though I've run it hard on trees and limbs when I should probably have used the chainsaw.

Used. Thank you!

Used. Thank you!

Following up on my own post here in case anyone else finds it useful. I had a need for a battery-powered blower, so went ahead and grabbed the 3017 at full price. My main use-case is cleaning out the garage and driveway, plus a small porch, sidewalk, etc. For that use-case, the 3017 seems great...

Anyone seen the new 3017-20 blower in stock anywhere? Anyone had a chance to try it? The 54dBm volume combined with the 500CFM rated blower is tempting, but I'd like to hear some real world feedback first. EDIT: Acme Tools has it in stock. Still curious if anyone has it yet and what they think...

I was going to upload a video, but that's not an option. Here's a screen grab of a wisp of smoke from the bottom of the battery. I got a few seconds of video, unplugged it, and took the battery outside on the driveway right after this.

Bought it from Home Depot during some of the November/December sales.

Yep - just had a brand new XC5.0 on my shelf and I noticed it wasn't fully charged. Stuck it on the charger and a few minutes later it was smoking and the charger had the flashing red/green light-of-death. Luckily it is under warranty, but that experience makes me nervous about having them in...

Used - thank you!
