Yes! It is fantastic for cleaning out rain gutters. Up an down an 8 foot ladder carrying this as opposed to the two cycle Echo is wonderful. My ears and lungs also appreciate it.

Just to add to your comments on original owner and selective enforcement... I bought my first new box in 1992 IIRC. A KR or KRL1000 with a, geez, whatever the top is. I was a kid at the time and I wanted that new Snap On box so damn bad I could taste it. I traded my older ones in, lost my...

There is a huge market for high end boxes. It is understandable many here do not know. Most DIY'R or basic homeowners do not deal in such things. Not knowing or not understanding a market does not make it "bad" or "wrong." It is also understandable many cannot afford such things and in turn...

There's a lot to be said for working with quality. That is worth something. Not everything needs to be the cheapest one can get away with or the cheapest item that could possibly be found on the scratch and dent pile and by stacking coupons after pleading with the manager for a bigger...

If you don't need that minty-fresh new smell, you could score a like-new 68" EPIQ for the same money. Without the power top they are 5K give or take. There should be no problems staying under 7K with a top. If you choose a common color combination, the chances of scoring a hutch or locker...

Not that it will solve all your issues, but try to alternate between pairs of boots. I wear pair #1 on Monday, pair #2 Tuesday, Pair #3 on Wednesday, then back to pair #1 on Thursday, #2 on Friday, and so on. Alternating like this allows the boots to dry out. I also never put my boots...

Way overpriced. I don't mind the design as it is workable for general maintenance in a commercial/industrial setting. There is room for improvement but there also isn't too much else like it, yet. Isn't there a Monster version of this? $400-$500 is where this needs to be. It's an...

Spiders like the vandal resistant dome IR best. Switching to the matrix cameras (IR next to lens) helps some, but in no way prevents it. Turning off the IR will stop them. Otherwise, unless you like climbing a ladder, make yourself a long pole...

I have warrantied mine several times in the past and he gave me a whole new driver (minus bits). He was also very cool and let me keep the cap. I also got color choice of anything he had on the truck. Now I have a handle of one color and a body of another. This is nice if it's in a pouch...

If you can't reach it with needle nose or it's twisting the pliers, try two or more rods down the flutes and apply torque to those. If you broke a four flute, use four rods. Lube will help. (Kerosene for aluminum) Sometimes rocking back and forth from CW to CCW helps. Blow whatever remaining...

It works. I ordered a couple Knipex pliers and no issues. I love that little 5" Cobra!

Thank you! More Knipex is never a bad thing! :-)

Yup. Looking how bad it has gotten in the last 20 years, just think where we will be after the next 20.

I bought them because they are stronger overall. In a real pinch I could stand on one/them if I really had to. There is a nicer overall feel to these boxes. There is no flimsy feel at all. I like the IP65 rating. That matters to me. If I am using a truck with an open bed and it rains or...
