the still is the best product that money can buy
i think you mispronounced the word milwaukee morky is far better than that still no right welcome
back to machinery nation guys now we have got three relatively new products in front of us and
two big questions to answer and what are those questions ryan handheld battery pruners are they a
gimmick or they a proper tool if you are going to get one which is the best one to buy first up we
have the 10.8 volt still gta 26 has a bar length of 10 centimeters running a quarter inch chain
and it weighs in at 1.8 kilograms the kit comes complete with case chain oil 2 amp hour battery
and charger all in at 169 pounds next we have the milwaukee m12 fhs fuel pruning saw which is a bar
length of 15 centimeters and a weight of 2.3 kilos this kit as you see it comes with the 6 amp hour
12 volt battery chain oil and standard charger all in at 218 pounds and 99 pence and finally
we have got the cheapest mini chainsaw we could find on amazon this is the jamal m8844 has a bar
length of 10 centimeters and weighs in at just 680 grams and believe it or not it comes complete
with two 20 volt batteries we are unsure what apps they are there's no information on there anywhere
but this whole kit with a spare chain in a little makeup bag along with a toothpick and a little
iron it is in there we promise and there it is oh one a screwdriver i love the color coded in this
thing all in at 39 pounds first test see how they cut through here we'll time them see what was the
best so first up we have got the gta 26 from steel now this little puppy here you've got to self
oil so we've got some multi bio oil from still we're just going to run that round get a
little bit splash back at the same time there she is all oiled up ready to
rock and roll three two one prune nice next up is milwaukee this has got an on-board oil tank to make things more
efficient three two one go what up puppy so just like the still you've got to dribble your oil onto the guide
bar luber up three two one go now try something a little bit bigger
let's go for this one three two one go cool that still does a really
clean cut doesn't it beautiful right let's give the morky a
go count me in three two one go look at that and last but not least the
cheapest one we could find on amazon the joomla count me in ryan three two one cut it's doing it but for 20 volt that's quite slow so we
know these can cut wood no problem at all but what other uses do they have we'll be set
a little challenge to see what we can create with these blocks of wood so we're going
to try a little bit of carving josh here they've got the two there a bit of an
edward scissorhand sort of theme going on and i've got them walking right counting well
we'll give it a go give ourselves 10 minutes more ten minutes let's see what we can create
all right then let's go for it three two one go what have you only just started right there's only a basic design so another application for these saws would be
carpentry so in this test we're going to do this pallet wood we want to see how clean the cut is
not how fast but how clean let's go still up first so so you're going to sum it up for us right yeah
so looking at these cuts here they're still cuts probably the smoothest out of
all of them it's a nice clean cut here the more key a bit more jagged but the last one
the uh jimmy looks like it's chewed it to be fair just remember these videos are sponsored by
our sponsor haze machinery and thank you haze machinery for supplying the steel gta 26.
thank you for walking for giving this one to do in the video and thank you dpd for not
losing this parcel in the post so just let you guys we want to see what these things do
in their real world environment we've got one fallen apple tree in the orchard we've got three
products let's do some reviews let's crack on thing is you push it down too
much at all then it will start to just stop i am liking it it's
really really light very ergonomic nice and easy left a left or right handed
operation which i really really like being a lefty the only other thing you'll have instead of like
a battery saw like this would be like a hand saw so something like um silky get some of that silky's not necessarily going to cut
as fast or as light lasts as long so many things these hat is hand pruning
saw spatula because the chain speed is not as quick as a normal chainsaw you don't
have to have any chain breaks and all that right let's give josh a go see what he thinks
of the gta 26 let's give this gta 26 a go now i do really like how it fits in your
hand it's really really comfortable got a nice little operator switch
there as well got the handy charge indicator the only thing that lets
you down a little bit is obviously you've got to oil the chain manually but let's give
it a go see what it's all about yeah boy yeah it's nice that fitted with a quarter
inch chain it's really smooth cutting so morky biggest bar bigger chain on it it is definitely heavy so i wouldn't want
to really be using this all day every day so it definitely has the most power
nice two-handed grip there because on something like this you would
actually need that two-handed it's nice it's got the built-in um chain oiler just munches through that what a beast definitely my favorite but if i
was doing higher things i was using it for a couple of hundred cuts because i'm guessing
the six amp hour battery will last that long and it is quite weighty josh what
do you reckon can we give it a go five-star review for the milwaukee
apparently i swear i heard a dolphin i think one thing that we forgot to mention
with this which makes it such a good system is the m12 range as you can utilize that
battery in the rest of the milwaukee range so that it makes that a universal product
if you've got the m12 batteries already just buy the bare unit makes
it a more cost effective option certainly i've got the most power on it
ryan yeah definitely my most powerful i think being left-handed i got a bomb
there going press so that's annoying so i'm going to press out of that first
one i use this one sounds all right i suppose right let's give it a go so
cheap and cheerful one from amazon that feels horrible my vibration you got this so it matters a lot of vibration because the
motors are the side of that you can't really get in many places out there well because
the other one's quite in line aren't they and it's meant to be the most powerful
being 20 volt but yeah that's it i mean it's definitely lightest so it feels
it feels nice in the hand but it's just oh that's just file to use has got a 20 volt max battery so
that 20 volt max so it could be one volt to be honest yeah better than 20
20 volt clive i guess yeah that's it yeah yeah so uh yeah i'm going to give it a go now and
see what it's all about but like ryan says it is quite nice in the hand but it does feel
very very cheap right let's do some cutting oh it's not smooth at all is it no it's not
it's like chewing trying to chew it all up do you know the other thing i don't like
about this is you've got to charge the battery independently you don't slide it
on a charger okay so that's really very very plasticky it's got a battery
gauge on it so you can see how many there you go made light work of that no i
both think we are in agreement that still is the best product that money can buy i
think you mispronounced the word milwaukee morky is far better than that still no mistake mr
what do you think the hatchet longer bar how many tools can you put that battery in there's a couple
yeah two or three yeah two or three yeah milwaukee a couple hundred tools you can use the m2 battery
on so if you've got the m12 platform this is the one to go for most power it's all about the power
built an oiler there is someone to have yes you can probably buy two of them i agree with that
this is a more cost effective option it feels better in your hand it's a smoother cut it is it
is but it might not be quite so powerful but then if you are pruning you're only pruning stuff sort
of a couple of inches bigger at most anyway so i do prefer that but i can see where you come
from ryan the milwaukee has got some nice pieces i mean are they gimmicky well no the
only other option you've currently got on the market are you looking
at a foldable saw a little handsaw it's great if you're doing one or two branches
but if you've got to do an area like this you're going to want some others yeah there's been
more cosplay it's going to take you a lot less time to cut all the branches up with something
like this than you have with your hands and it's a lot safer than a normal saw lots especially if
you don't need to basically cut through massive great long logs and stuff like that we might
disagree of which one and the best tool is however we don't disagree with that absolute litter thank
you for watching like share and subscribe drop any comments of other videos you want to
see us doing and we'll see in the next one
