Kress

Related to my 'which hand blower?" thread but  on a bit of a tangent I stumbled across the "Kress" brand.

 

Seem relatively new to the party and not much available on them from other than the manufacturers/suppliers themselves, but they look good and specs are impressive, but aren't they all.

 

Plenty of retailers on board with them so anybody using them, demo'd them, even looked at them yet?

Alot of new theese new brands might not exist in 5 yrs time then if something breaks will have to be binned?

 

Would only go for establised companies as more chance of getting spares and spares support longterm though its abit early to say how long all theese cordless motor products are built to  l last V the petrol eqivalents longterm etc?

 

Less to go wrong on electric motors so should keep going as long as you can get the spares?.....

 

Bearings went on my cordless 18v makita trimmer & there was a full part list and all parts were available to buy. Though some compatible SKF  ones were cheaper.

 

Intersting styling though looks like a futursitic weapon

If it's occasional use, buy a Makita or similar brand clone.

Think my angle grinder was 20-25 delivered Vs 100 for the real thing.

 

3 years later it's paid for itself many times over and I still wouldn't buy the real thing.
