Thank you!! I will share this with my boss right away.
My pleasure. Feel free to ask any questions
Entertaining plus information - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is called edutainment. It is the most attention-grabbing, thus effective way to convey a message and to retain the attention of an audience. A big plus in a world where our attention span is shrinking by the day !
@@Mukunda16108 if i read your comment correctly - thank tou
Got a Ottovac and it came with a rechargeable LI battery pack and the standard AA battery pack. Does have a lot of plastic on it. Not sure how it’ll hold up but handle and rubber feels very similar to the manual wood powergrips we use all the time. Well see how she holds up.
Yes, they've updated their product after the batteries would burn up so quickly. The entire industry is switching to Lithium batteries. Second generation cups from Montolit, Weha, and Rubi are going to be phenomenal.
You're right, the clean look just makes it look so refined, and elegant. Designed by someone who's been in the business for a while. OMG, and that purrrrr sound. I have the Grabo Pro, it don't sound like that!!!
When you handle the weha it just feels strong. Totally different fee than the grabos. Thanks for watching!
From watching your Video, and some from Weha themselves. One can tell the Tuffcup's suction cup, is made of a higher quality silicone rubber. When it comes to getting a good bound onto these textured surfaces we are now getting. That truly makes or breaks which direction I'm willing to go. The Ottovac reminds me of a budget alternative to it's bigger bother the Grabo Pro. Instead of a specialist tool that it should have been. But, Grabo's marketing and ease of access put the Weha Tuffcup at a disadvantage.
Excellent information! Will u do a review on Montolit New suction cups Geco and Gecone?
Hopefully so. Going to look this morning at coverings
Previously, these suction cups were adjusted to lower pressure, but now they are not adjusted and it is only possible to break the glass somewhere on an expensive facade, and there is no connection with the manufacturer. I returned the product and am waiting for my money.
which brand? That is the first I have heard. I have just begun working with special art glass panels so could be a concern for me.
Good review! So the Weha doesn't start back up automatically after losing suction?
Yes it does monitor itself. The section where i mention the green light flickering, thats the pump maintaining a pressure amount
@@porcelainpanelpro Thanks!
@@thegrindertilenews My pleasure
I like the BIHUITOOLS automatic suction cup better than those two
Bought one from Amazon. I worked great for about 3 weeks. When doing large 2x4 ft tile or something like drywall i found it drains the battery. Expect 4 new batteries a day. And no it dose not work with rechargeable batteries. I tried the amazon one and rechargeable batteries by Duracell and it wont even turn on. After a while the spring that holds the clip to release the battery/ button cartridge broke along with the clip. Had to wrap the thing in tape just to finish the day as it kept falling out of the handle and thus did not work. Don't expect to keep this on Tile when cutting it on a wetsaw. Tried that. All those black bolts/machine screws are rusty now in under a months worth of work. It dose not handle wet environments very well.
The only big plus is that once the suction cup is on it REALLY holds onto smooth polished tile well.
It will not work on textured surfaces like drywall and tile. Might try the bigger version of this tool and see if that one will work better.
Edit: I am referencing the 8 Inch Ottovac.
Would you be referencing the Ottovac?
@@porcelainpanelpro Correct
@@mattcraztex9940 so my assessment was on point. Thank you for confirming my concerns
@@porcelainpanelpro Yes it was, I bought one for tile especially since I am a Home builder and have been installing 2x4 foot tiles by myself so having a suction cup like this was a must have as i cannot move them any other way. I honestly thought that it would work a lot better then it did given the first couple reviews that I read of it. Have buyers remorse now returning both units back now. I had to by a second just because amazon could get it to me in under 3 days when the first one broke. The second struggles with much of the same issues and honesty seems like it has even less power then the first. I am not putting it anywhere near water. The cup actually let go of a polished tile at one point even when the gauge was well into the green. Seems like its just unreliable and since it dose not work with rechargeable batteries. You can see yourself spending easily an extra 20$ per week on batteries. Depending on how much you push it a set of batteries can last about 2 days. But if your using it a lot it can very well be 1 set a day. The heavier the material the more it turns on to keep the suction on. I have also hit to release button on accident a few times its not in a great spot in my opinion. I am going with the Weha Cup 8 inch 2.0 cup. They changed a few things on it but it looks as though the European tools work and last a lot longer and better.
@@mattcraztex9940 I ordered the WEHA’s for the large granite location i was running. Everyone loved them
Dewalt and possibly every other tool company has a neat USB adapter that a 20v battery connects to. Look them up.
@@derekparent752 2nd generation cups are coming out. These will be obsolete soon
Does the Weha work with plywood?
Im sure it could but may not be recommended
@@porcelainpanelpro thx i'll stick with the grabo pro then large plywood sheet is my main use of it
You had me up until "2 hours to charge."
Yes but lasts for days. I charged a month ago and just yesterday left it charging overnight. Really not a problem
Weha Only available in USA, $189.00. That makes in a None Starter.
Incorrect, you can find for $149. So when you add the cost of AA batteries and the cheaper build, tuffcup comes out ahead of the ottovac. But again, both companies are updating as we speak
@@porcelainpanelpro better price, still only available in the USA. Not sure but that possibly means Warranty is only valid in USA. When the time comes I will investigate more.
@@derekparent752 where are you based? Weha is a German brand.
@@porcelainpanelpro Canada, and I see there is only US sales in my neighborhood. Thank you for the replies.
@@derekparent752 my homeland! Sorry you cant get the good stuff.
