- Just a quick scan of the new Ego Multitool PH1420e.
Initial thoughts straight out the box. Along with Ego's New Strimmer Attatchment with Powerload technology.
Love the quote 'I'm a big fan of rubber ' awesome vid mate👏 think you've sealed the deal for me 👍
Do love the Rubber!
🤣
Thanks Andy! It's a weapon of a tool!
I am the same with regard to strimmer rotation! I tried for two years to learn clockwise, but I repeatedly, painfully failed. Thank you for demonstrating these. 💯
Might be a stupid question but how does clockwise vs counter clockwise affect your trimming?
Great video Mike, thanks for the mention. Hope you get on well with your new toy 👍
Hey Josh!
Very grateful. Thanks a lot Josh. 😁
Thanks for a great very informative video, i was unsure which power head to go for but the anti clock strimmer direction has made my mind up to go for the newer option, thankyou for such great plan talking videos and excellent
advice 👍
Hey Steve. Thanks mate!.. and thanks for watching and glad the video helped in you making you right choice!
Finally got mine a couple days ago, what a beast! Couldn't believe the power on speed 2 strimming through think long grass! Really like the handle and ergonomics compared to the old model, the trigger is much better and it seems to be way more responsive 👍🏻
Thanks Joshua and 100% agree with you mate. It's better in every department.
Can't wait to get it here in the States, I'm excited for the same reason you are, for the spinning direction, I love ego products except for the trimmer for the clockwise rotation... but now they got it right in my opinion.
Great vid Mike, can’t wait to get hold of mine, cheers!
Thanks a lot Chris! Man your gonna love it!
This was helpful. Thanks for helping me decide to upgrade.
I have to admit I was skeptical about EGO but after trying it, I should have bought it years ago, I can't believe how simple and with ease it takes to switch them out, and get your yard work done, I love it.
Just bought the weed wacker and the edger. Total game changer. I love them!
Hi Mike, two questions.
Can you explain you preference for anticlockwise vs clockwise and secondly, do you know if Ego are going to do a pack including the new motor head plus several attachments like they do with the older model? Thanks!
Ah man this video couldn't have come at a better time! Literally spent last week trying to find out a bit more about the new Power head as there's not much info on the Ego website. Hoping my local dealer has stock soon aswell...
Glad it was helpful Josh! Its definitely a big improvement in terms of design compared to the last one!
@@mikedaygm I think the ergonomics and and trigger look way better! Can't wait to get my hands on one 🙂
Regarding the weight and power of the motor it's 2.8kg and 2.3kw and the old model is 2.7kg and 2kw. I managed to find out through my local dealer. So a nice little power upgrade with marginal weight difference 👍🏻
Very interesting Josh. I'll happily take the slight increase in weight for a more peer full machine!
@@mikedaygm that's exactly what I thought, I think the original was powerful enough so this new one should be a beast! All that extra rubber looks really nice.
@@joshuabush2569what dealer told you this?
Awesome vid mate ! Great show of the tool!
Thanks a lot Sam! I big step up right?!
Please could you let me know what fittings you used to store your Ego kit.
Did you just screw the wooden board to the plywood lining?
Thanks
Great comparison video mate 👍
It's a great bit of kit! And looks amazing! Weight wise.. I think it's somewhere around 0.3kg heavier from what I read.
Thanks a lot Dan!
Yeah it did seem a little more weighty than the old model!
Thanks for watching dude.
Just purchased one with the power broom. Looking forward to trying it out
How are you liking it? I’m trying to decide between the multi head system and the regular trimmer… maybe a dewalt 60v at that..
I’m looking to go all in battery powered machines. Would you recommend ego products for everyday use?
Which brand would you recommend when it comes to garden tools, Husqvarna or Ego? Looking to get a full set, including leaf blower and everything. Thanks mate
What’s the “E” in the model number? Can only find 1420 model. Local dealer can’t find either. I just want to make sure I get correct one. Is the counter clock wise attachment have a different model number? I live in US not sure if that is why. Ty
What is the model number of that new trimmer please? I bought the new multi head and shortly going to buy the snow shovel attachment. For summer I notice too. All attachments don’t work on all systems. I just need the snow shovel , that trimmer ? , and the brush cutter to work with the new head. Does the brush cutter work with it as well ? Could not get a kit with batteries for that head. Oh darn !
What kind of battery is recommended for this machine. I will probably purchase this and the mower (with which I will get 4 Ah battery). I saw 1 review that pot Ego string trimmer on the last spot because of the weight of the battery which caused the machine to rotate if you had it rotated 90 degrees for edging. Ty
Thanks! For the 14 a rotary scissors attachment with an additional 1420E extension pole?
Thanks so much! I didn’t even think about the head rotation, I would have been pissed if I bought the older model. This help a lot, in product details on their website it doesn’t focus on these details and couldn’t tell what the differences were. Thanks again.
Brilliant vid Mike 👏🏻 👍🏻
Thanks a lot Lee!
Just wandering why you haven't included the ego rotary scissors attachment?
Glad to hear you are a massive fan of rubber.
Rubbers a great additive to Machinery in terms of Grip.
Thanks for Watching JIM
Anyone have the ph1400 and ph1420? Was it worth the upgrade? I can get the edger and 1400 tools only for $20 less than just the 1420 by itself… I basically think I’ll be using the unit as a hedge trimmer.
Where the heck did you get the power load attachment? I can’t find it anywhere
If I’m 5’5” would this be too big for me as a trimmer?
Great video, can you do a van setup video, how you store the batteries and handheld equipment. Cheers.
Hey! Sure.
My vans currently hmgetting sign writing added to it and then were all ready for a little Van Tour!
Variable speed handy around stones and nearby windows
Awesome vid Mike. A worthy shoutout to Josh at Hayes Machinery 🎉🥳🤩
Hey James/Machinery Nation!
Thanks so much for being brilliant znd getting it out to me so fast as always.
That new Husky range came out of nowhere!
@@mikedaygm no worries Mike. I’ve been in possession of the Husq stuff for like 3 months haha, but was embargoed until the 14th. Nice valentines for some 😂😂
Great video Mike. Do you know if the new power head increases the blade speed of the hedge trimmer attachment? Thanks Billy.
That's a good point Billy. I know the new power head has more power but it would all come down to the way the gearing is wired up to run in the actual trimmer gearbox itself. Let me test this out for you!
@@mikedaygm thanks
Do you know where I can purchase the new Strimmer?
The new multi heads handle feels more comfortable in my hand than the original one.
What is the model number of the new trimmer head please?
The annoying little stick off to the side isn't intended as a handle. That little stick is a guard intended to prevent the unit from kicking back into the operator when used with a brush cutter blade attachment. Feel quite free to delete that if it's in your way.
Thanks for filling that in for us. I don't think I've ever spoken to someone who knows what it is. Already detached!
Thanks for that info ! I want a brush cutter next summer. Does the attachment work on the new carbon multi head ?
Having a separate electric powerload on a shaft driven head is MASSIVELY APPRECIATED. This is the upgrade I've been waiting for......I'm not a fan of the Line-IQ which feeds line too unpredictabily
Great video mate 👌🏻 #lovetherubber 🤫
Thanks a lot Keith! Oh we do love the rubbbbberrrrrrr
Hello there, can I ask if they're was much of a price difference between the old and new? Great vid thanks.
£199 compared to £229 when I looked so definitely worth the extra £30!
How do I get that handle
Hi there. Just watched your video on the new ego 1420 power head. I noticed the motor has a high pitch wine in low position, which you had mentioned.
I have heard this observation on other you tube videos from other people. You wondered if the wine would go away after the tool was used and it was “broke in”. Did you notice any difference in the high pitch wine after using the tool for a bit ? I am waiting on a delivery of the new power head. I am hoping the wine goes away.
So after nearly 2 years the whine is unfortunately still present.
It does work in the old unit its just the power load feature that doesnt work
When you compared the weight, you didn't have the handle bar on the old one.
The handle bar wigs about 100g
Does the handle come with it? Or is it aftermarket?
Hey Greg. The handles come with the machines.
Can you put the new carbon attachments to the old shaft?
Not the trimmer as mentioned in the video because of the power load terminals featured on the new CF version.
Oooooh, exciting... I'll put the kettle on for this one 👍🏻
Enjoy Ki! Lovely bit of kit mate🤗
@@mikedaygm Enjoyed that, looks, great mate. Thanks for sharing
Does the Aluminum attachments work on the Carbon Power Head?
Hey thanks for watching. Yes they do.
I really hate that power feed system it sucks . I bought one used it 1 time when I put the line in it just made noise as the line did not feed in the head . I talked to the employee he said he had the same problem . So I’m sure that will not last .
I've had the exact same issues. My unit actually started to smoke from the motor. Lets hope it's been rectified.
@@mikedaygm yea I bought the ego multi tool . I do love the power they have . So I’m going to try a different model .
interesting europe gets a differernt handle compared to us/canada
Not for me mate . I have an ego 2135e and I love it but their hand held stuff isn’t up to scratch compared to Stihl . The batteries are far far to heavy and they change size as you go up in AH where as with stihl there isn’t a great different in weight and no different in size when you go up in AH . This for me is a big no no , especially when you’re hedge cutting all day
I have got quite a few Ego tools but I must agree about the battery size and weight. You can use the backpack link I'm not really into having to deal with cables etc.
Thanks for the video but, next time Use Microphone or change your camera bro voice is bad..
Wrong! Sound is just fine.
Terrible! Why do people like anti clockwise? unless you're a lefty clockwise is more natural. Hopefully they continue to offer both its one of the reasons I swapped my Milwaukee to Ego.
I cannot say, the English language does not have the words to express how much l ....REGRET BUYING E-GO TOOLS FOR A PRO SERVICE. In less then 50use hours my batteries are FAILING! 1,100.oo DOWN THE DRAIN! quite simply, the batteries are crap for longevity. LOVED the ergonomic tools!... till ALL the batteries began failing.
Are you storing them in a bucket of water?
I've had mine 18 months, used all day everyday during the season, I've had a rapid charger replacement under warranty, that's the only problem.
The whistling sound on this model is annoying.
Need to manage your mic better, can't hear you half the time. gotta stay closer to the mic, get a lapel mic or speak up.
MIC. is built into the Camera. Not sure anyone else has commented with an issue with the sound?
I hope you took more from this video than the mic. 🤣👍
I can barely hear you at full volume. So I am skipping your review.
Hahaha bye 👋🏽. I Can hear him just fine
Great, informative video mate!
Thanks a lot bro! Thankyou for watching dude!
