Great tool to have with the EGO Multi-Tool. For extra safety when using in reverse mode, I remove the locking bolt on the guard and raised it away from the rubber paddle so that I can turn the guard in any direction to prevent projectile objects coming towards me. In winter time, I leave this unit inside by the up stair balcony than carrying the single stage snow blower up and down or manually shoal the build up snow during heavy snowing days. Works great for the spring cleaning as well for my corner house to remove sand stones from the sand truck and dead grass clips.
Nice! Looks like it could be a game-changer for your cleanups. I'd be interested to hear what kind of run time you can get on the Power Head using power settings #1 and #2 respectively in terms of Amp-hour draw per 30 minutes, and what forms of use cases other than dethatching you find for it. The fact that the Ego Power+ platform was missing cultivator and bristle brush attachments for the PH1400 Power Head until just recently was a major reason I was entertaining the thought of buying into Husqvarna / Stihl / Echo's power head + attachment platforms instead. I'd still really like to see Ego add a rubber paddle broom attachment for the power head, like the ones in the aforementioned competitor platforms. There are a whole host of use cases for such a tool: 1) Mulch job cleanups 2) Spring cleanups of plow damage and over-push along gravel driveways 3) Mast cleanup for items such as acorns, hickory nuts, and pine cones 4) Wood chip / sawdust cleanup after tree trimming / removal 5) Light snow removal, eliminating shovel scratches on porches ... just to name a few. The biggest in my area (Michigan) would be item #2 above.
Ego does have a rubber paddle in the works should be out shortly I believe it was mentioned in one of their trade show videos, I might pick one up for snow/cleanups but this broom works really well, I am pretty surprised. I think I can get some good run time out of this, I'll keep you posted! I'm up to 9 ego batteries now and even though there are some initial annoyances with electric tools like how you need after market blades and the auto walk function is jenky I'm going to make as much money with this stuff as I can, and I'm really not that upset with the whole situation have tree job tomorrow with the chainsaw and 2 cleanups I'm trying to fit in in the next 2 days before I believe it will snow.. things are quite good for small/mid size commercial applications. will be using this brush a lot in the winter on walkways, though I'd probably prefer the rubble paddle from what I've seen, more aggressive in dealing with caked on ice.
I've seen some folks make a cart style apparatus with wheel for these to make them easier on the arms and to move. Do you know of this? Not sure if ego sells something similar as an accessory or there is a sort of universal type attachment for these.
Never occured to me to flip the tool around. My powerhead must be first gen as I don't have the 2 speeds. Personally i'd get a Sun Joe or greenworks dethatcher they work really great and are dirt cheap.
Will it damage the grass? You mentioned not to put it on level 2 but was wondering of cleaning corn or leafs if it would be perfect without tearing the grass. Thanks for the video ;-)
This was a good video. You simply demonstrated what it does under several different conditions. I like it. On the tool. I like the idea of power raking leaves but I can see here it's damaging the grass and affecting the colourfulness of it. It's not good.
@@gregderossi Not sure yet, I'll be doing advertising in the area next spring and after that I should have lots of money and work, also that old Volvo will never be replaced! :P 300,000km and drives like new. so to answer your question the vehicle probably wont have advertising on it until midway through the season at the soonest.
it does a pretty good job dethatching, not as good as actual dethatchers, but it has a lot more applications. So short answer yes. I've been using this tool for spring clean ups and light dethatching every day for the past 2 weeks. if you're going to buy it primarly for detaching you might want to consider an actual dethatcher as its heavy and can be tough to use for prolonged periods.
Can't you do the same thing with a lawnmower? And that bags at the same time! It doesn't get the brushing effect, however. I can see how this scrubs the dead grass from the lawn.
Even a mulching mower with strong air circulation or a leaf-blower with good flow rate isn't going to get in there good and deep and de-thatch the lawn. You can do it with the right kind of rake, but I'd much rather use this and save myself the time and the blisters.

And a battery, I recomend 5.0 for any commercial applications. but you could go with a cheaper 2.5. www.homedepot.com/p/EGO-56-Volt-5-0-Ah-Battery-with-Fuel-Gauge-BA2800T/308667787
you will also need a charger for the batteries. slow or fast charger. you're better of getting a power head kit then buying the bristle brush attachment seperately. so if you get a hedge or weed trimmer combo that would probably be best.

That's incredible. I was on the fence about this attachment. Def grabbing it! Thanks, bud...

Exactly what I was looking for.

5.0 amp hour batter probably ran this tool for roughly 20-25 minutes straight on the highest setting.

I love that it pulls the Leaves out of the Grass, I LOVE MY EGO PRODUCTS ♥️👍🤗
Never occured to me to flip the tool around. My powerhead must be first gen as I don't have the 2 speeds. Personally i'd get a Sun Joe or greenworks dethatcher they work really great and are dirt cheap.
WOWWOW! That beats raking every day of the week!!
my right arm is basically a monster right now.
This is awesome. I just bought an ECO, cant wait to do this
I took the guard off too. It's stupid that the powerhead doesn't have a reverse switch.
I bought all the EGO Tools, except this brush attachment. Looks like I'll be buying this too!
yeah just be carefull with particulate in lungs and rocks in eyes other than that its amazing evn works great in the winter.
@@crimmy0204 I will thanks, also I intend to use thumb screws for the guard. That way I can keep the shield attached when flipping it over.
That's an expensive tool, but I just ordered mine I hope it's worth it🤞
Will it damage the grass? You mentioned not to put it on level 2 but was wondering of cleaning corn or leafs if it would be perfect without tearing the grass. Thanks for the video ;-)
level 2 should not damage most grass almost no green grass gets pulled out.
@@crimmy0204 thanks i will add the tool to the rest, very nice video by the way.
This is an awesome video! Thanks for doing it brother!
not a problem man just spreading the love!
Hi mom and mom
This was a good video. You simply demonstrated what it does under several different conditions. I like it.
On the tool. I like the idea of power raking leaves but I can see here it's damaging the grass and affecting the colourfulness of it. It's not good.
Do you think this thing would be good for peddle removal in grass as well? Raking takes forever
yeah should work for that, it can pull maple keys out which is pretty impressive so should do most things.
Is this the right tool to remove small pebbles, twigs and other debris from lawn soil?
Would the rubber broom work better on grass im planing to buy one and i dont know what attachment to get.....
after owning this I have zero aspirations of buying a rubber paddle.
Sans thing here, this is the best tool ans Works great on grass, no need for the paddle broom
I about killed myself pushing mine the other day. After watching your video i now realize I had that beast on 2 the whole time 🤣
Will the power broom remove seedheads from the lawn?
first time home owner. love this shit
Great video , wow look there’s the old Volvo now replaced with the transit!
Do you plan to do any branding on the van? Such as vinyl wrap or magnets with your services offered?
@@gregderossi Not sure yet, I'll be doing advertising in the area next spring and after that I should have lots of money and work, also that old Volvo will never be replaced! :P 300,000km and drives like new. so to answer your question the vehicle probably wont have advertising on it until midway through the season at the soonest.
Electric Lawn Services good luck with that , wishing you nothing but success!
@@gregderossi Thanks Greg!
Having to brush my lawn makes me wonder why we have lawns
Do you think this Would this work on artificial turf to get the blades to stand up again?
not 100% sure but I believe it would...
@@crimmy0204 looks like it has some power but them gas power broom rotate pretty fast. Wasn't sure if it was comparable at all.
@@jsvelker it has a lot of torque probably more than a gas broom.
@@crimmy0204 is the rotation speed anywhere near a gas broom?
@@jsvelker I'm not 100% sure, I'm guessing no though.
That is fucking genius!
The brush got me 10 clients last year alone easily.
Bristles wear out fast and are very expensive!
Need a catch bin for when dethatching
How long does the battery last
Will the 580 Leaf Blower accomplish the same task???
no.
No even close.
I'm thinking about buying it. Can it be used to dethatch my lawn.
it does a pretty good job dethatching, not as good as actual dethatchers, but it has a lot more applications. So short answer yes.

@@crimmy0204 I have an acorn tree as well. So I'll be use it to rake leaves and acorns. Thanks for responding.

Does that basically remove thatch?
yeah it does a good job especailly when its too cold or hard on the grass to use a proper dethacher.
@@crimmy0204 Very cool
I have scattered broken glass and debris in my yard (just bought thehome) I dont care if it kills the grass, will this work ?
For Science!! 😃
I probably wouldn’t do that for safety it could kick rocks up at your face.
I did it for an entire year no issues might want to wear a hepa mask though, and wear safety glasses.
This is not what it made for for what you have you need to use blower
