Audio sounds like it’s being broadcasted from a WWII bomber underwater. Great review tho, audio doesn’t actually bother me

Try the voyager xl lol you do not know how to use a knife 🔪

So I bought the most advanced model you know the orange I like it but I wish I just would have got this 1. 420 is good enough

Would you still consider this over the dual stage Toro Powermax 824 OE

What does it mean that it is a "beginner" knife? Like what does a pro knife do that this doesn't?

You do not know what you are doing.

Can you shave with it ???????

Now I want one.

Thank you for review! Hello from Smolensk city; Russia

Great review 🔥 I love the shape, but hate the metal. If they EVER come out with one in 3V, I will not listen to anyone-it’ll be my weird fetish blade😂

The blade angle on the site says it's 14 degrees. I see you sharpening it much wider. Do you notice it cuts worse than when first purchased?

You need a bigger blower for your area. I had the 824 for 21 years here in N.H. with no problems at all. I gave it to a friend and is still running. I now own 1028 Power Max and runs great. Just empty the fuel and let it run till it conks out and you're done for storage, been doing it this way for 25 years with no problems.

I love mine! Very beefy but as you mentioned the locking mechanism is finicky. The only possible drawback that I see would be trying to use this if you only had one of your hands.

You are funny

Just bought one of these a few days ago. What would be your 3 steps?

You sound like you have some experience with injection molding.

My mini duku parang from Cóndor knife & Tool fills that niche

and how this knife is keeping up after 2 years? wondering about getting one, thanks!

What about the pocket-chete? 11 inch of 4 mm D2

I love this blower. Used it this past week for the first time on super heavy, wet snow on a four-car asphalt drive, basically what it’s made for. Sure, like any single-stage blower, it was working hard, but it handled it like a champ. It’s the perfect upgrade to a smaller single-stage because of its hybrid” setup. Since it’s single-stage, it cleans right to the stone, asphalt or concrete and as a bonus, has the quick stick and self-propel wheels of a two-stage, all in a compact size. I was surprised that you’re using a single-stage blower on a gravel drive…the sales materials definitely said single-stages aren’t built for that usage. You’d definitely need a two-stage that doesn’t rely on chopping at and sweeping/beating the surface to clear snow like this one. That it’s serving you well as you’ve been using it for four seasons really shows how good this little machine is.

Love that knife. Looks so great!

I always spydeflick it with my middle finger from the other side

This has to be one of the dumbest examples of trying to prove a point I have ever seen...what did you expect that it would just spin in a perfect circles. It's weight is not centerd. The bit is numb nuts 😂😂🤣

I can't believe you haven't installed an impeller kit on that thing yet! You claim it constantly plugs up under certain conditions? Install heavy rubber conveyor belting on the paddles of the impeller and your plugging will be over, and it will blow the snow farther too!

Did you notice that vegetables tend to stick rather firmly to the blade during slicing? Or is it just mine that does this? Very noticeable when slicing zucchini/squash/potatoes…

Toro seems to have eliminated the 824 QXE. Maybe too much overlap between the 724 QXE and 824 Powermax.

16 storage steps? Get electric :)

Just bought this in blaze orange for an upcoming elk trip. You should start hunting if this is what you’re into!

Nail puller is for small items, its obvious you cant use tools properly.

absurdly thick. i was at least mildly interested until i saw that. that and the price for aus8 yikes. this thing is like 150$ should be maybe 50

I cant decide if I want a 7" or 8"

The blade is mind boggling

I love youre review and I appreciate your critique.. It did not deter me one iota, because I will NEVER need or use a knife like this for Batoning.. I have the TOPS Operator 7 Blackout so I guess I am just drawn to Thick Stock knives... as you say the aesthetics of this knife are un deniable.. Sorry but you are a bit of a Steel Snob.. LOL I am NOT an outdoorsman though.. Dont hunt.. so this is perfect for mme

Hi Riley any tips on cable adjustment for chute not turning when you depress the blue button. Appreciate any help you could give. Thanks Mike.

☕ I have the upgraded version of this machine, the 824 252cc. Used it to clear driveways hundreds of times. It's a great little machine, worth every penny.

Today we got 6+" of snow over granular ice and while my 824 QXE had no trouble throwing that top layer of snow very far and well, it could not clear down to the pavement at all. In the right conditions it will clear most of the way to the pavement but not today. The personal pace drive was also VERY jerky on this snow today as well which didn't help. The sad thing is that I WAS able to scrape down to the pavement with my cheapo Snow Joe battery powered 18" machine!

The power stick dose not stay in position as directed ,keeps bouncing back to its first position , why is this , an how can I correct this ??

I had to put the handle in a vise to get get it to lock. Right out of the box it is a pain in the ass. I hope it proves to be more useful. Also, I think I'll have to adjust it if the vice doesn't work. to realign the locking device.

Everyone says it starts easily, every time, with the pull start. Not mine. I have to use the electric start. My friend used a carb cleaner a couple of weeks ago and it worked. I'd try that again, but I dont know where to spray it . Were expecting 14" of new snow Thursday and it won't start. I had a shop look at it, they said it's fine. Now it's too late to bring it back to them. I'm in South East Michigan, I need a Toro that starts every time.This Machine is four years old, hasalways been hard to start, and probably has only been used a dozen times.

You bought the wrong tool for that job. You need a tractor or quad with a plow. I have the 824 and love it. My drive is way smaller but no clogs. Go slower in deep hard pack. Goes right thru the plow pile at the end. I think the engine size is significant with this blower. The 724 is slightly underpowered. The extra 50cc seems to make a huge difference in all the video reviews on it which is why I went with the larger engine. Paid out the ass for it and had to have it shipped criss country. Couldn't find one for anything. But you can never have too much power . Just slow down and give it time to break it up. Let the machine do the work. Plenty of vids on YT of the 724 handling deeper snow of all types. Just have to slow down and let it break it up first. Nice video and I'm glad you still appreciate it's qualities

Exactly what i was looking at the tool for. Need something with a little more mass than a machete but dont want to be swinging an axe all day either.

update to a 824 and you wont have a problem and shut off valve can be installed easily

....just sharing, I use Benchmade 162 a lot but I am sure Buck knives are great too......

Great information. Thanks

Ty for such a great review!! This guy knows the injection molding process,and anyone who breaks out a micrometer...knows quality control

Excellent tutorial. Visiting my daughter in Maine and have never used a snow blower before. She has this model and it is snowing. About 17 degrees outside. Your tutorial made it very clear on how to use the machine, especially helpful was the “exact” way to start it and at what temperatures it works best. Will give it a go later today or in the morning. It is Christmas day, so I doubt I will do it today. Lol Thank you.Mark

I have a Toro Powermax 826LE and I love it. Same deal, pull start on one or two pulls but at 71 I'm starting to use the electric start with a short extension cord. Sweet. Love the joystick controller for ease of use and keeping snow from going into my face on wind blowback. There's a built-in system on mine to keep it from clogging and it works really well with wet snow. I definitely go into the deeper wet snowbanks at the end of my driveway a little slower than you do but also have a 8 hp engine which helps. I do find it faster and easier to do full paths of snow so rather than overlapping each time I turn around I leave about a 4 or 6" width of snow between what I've already cleared and make sure the blower gobbles up all 26" of width on the return pass. That way my first few passes do a full 26'' of snow and then I clean up the 4 or 6" leftovers when I finish my full passes. Hope that makes sense. If I overlap it takes me longer overall. Thanks for the good review!
