I noticed the rubber badges coming loose within a couple of days on the display models at my local supercheap auto. It was one of those things where it instantly made me think the tools were more cheaply made than they probably were based off of your review.

@mattyosborne1453 Ай бұрын

The grinder itself shows that they are aiming at DIY home level. As it wouldnt be aloud on alot of work sites having the button that locks the power on with no dead man switch

@MarinePredators84 Ай бұрын

In my opinion, for these kincrome tools to do well they need to be competitive with the cheaper brands (ie Ryobi) not the mid level... its going to be a hard sell for them i think, but in saying that i think they are aimed at the weekend warrior not trade professionals.

@zarajoe1 6 күн бұрын

I think they should be aiming for the professional. After all they do market themselves as a professional tool brand. But I agree with you it'll be a hard sell for them

@jaymontunstall213 Ай бұрын

That grinder was piss weak.. even sounds slow. That need to work on there ramp speed with all tools in the video. Old school type blower.?? Why not hit the market with a small blower through blower and surprise people with quality?

@karlmee1234 Ай бұрын

I think its good that if you are an early adopter and register that you can get a lifetime warranty (obviously subject to their terms an conditions). Only time will tell how good they are. Generally, I find most generation 1 of tools will have their issues to be ironed out, hopefully by the second generation. Good if your tight on money and need some cheaper tools. Reminds me of when battery tools first come out in the early 2000's, my old man used to use a battery rattle gun and drill from Panasonic, they were good at the time, he still has them in my grandfathers old shed and they still work, just not as good as they used to of course.

@thekiwinomad Ай бұрын

Interesting. I wander how they will compare to the Makita xgt, Milwaukee or Hilti tools. I have the Makita xgt range mostly because of the amount of other tools that are available on the platform e.g. the mowers and outdoor range

@lianforrest8682 Ай бұрын

They have been in the tool game they did a drill torch and impact wrench in nicad and it was Kincrome branded

@ashorodisho8609 Ай бұрын

The Normal Drill driver was pretty Good, not so convinced with Grinder to be honest.. If the impact Driver was a little smaller like the Makita or AEG i would be Happy to buy it but this First version is reminding me of the old huge brush Impacts.

@mukoshh Ай бұрын

They are new to the cordless game and it’s always good to get more competition. Going with an opening lifetime warranty and 5 year beyond is an awesome move. Where do you see them compared to brands like ozito, or possibly ryobi?

Any updates on the reno ?

@ProtosR Ай бұрын

even if you go on pricing alone its not good, hikoki has the same kit at the moment with more amp hours at the same price and redemption for two more 5ah batteries, its just another compony getting a white label manufacture to make tools for them. nothing new nothing special. the lifetime warranty isnt even good, the terms and conditions of it will allow them to worm out of most claims. stick to well established brands for power tools.

@DarylRaverty Ай бұрын

The grinder seems not the best. Compare pricing to Bosch. 6 year warranty. Often on special as well.

@dalethomas2241 Ай бұрын

Hey matty, nice review. Just curious what the weight is compared to other manufactures.

Mate I thought about that. I’ll probably do a few more things and test the drop test as I do the same thing all the time with my tools. I don’t think they say they are drop resistant though.

@MightyHawx Ай бұрын

Perplexing how it outperformed the 40v. Maybe because the makita is a gen 1 tool on a brand new platform?

Makita is well known for weak impacts, faster in reverse too. They excel in ergonomics, function and longevity though.

@Mad_Moo_Mac Ай бұрын

Surprising about no deadman switch/paddle switch as I thought it was a requirement for all new tools to have? I know most construction sites won’t allow non-deadman switch grinders now

@AddictedtoTools Ай бұрын

I don’t believe it’s an overall requirement but definitely something needed on a lot of sites.

@SH19922x Ай бұрын

That's false, side switch grinders are aloud everywhere that isn't union or mining based. Use them everyday, paddle switch are dangerous because you sacrifice dexterity and stability for the paddle bitch nonsense

@Mad_Moo_Mac Ай бұрын

@@SH19922x I disagree around sacrificing dexterity and stability of them. I use a paddle switch grinder quite often for all types of work and can comfortably use at many different angles. I actually prefer it over side switches I’ve used in the past. But everyone is different

If kincrome power tools werent good that would be surprising because even there shittiest tooling is still fairly good, they either wont sell quite as well to tradies because they look like kings gear They look meaty too which is the biggest war tactic for default, makita, milwaukee is to get them lighter and sleeker whilst still having that awesome tool abs plastic or whatever they use now

@slinkytrips Ай бұрын

If you look carefully at the grip pattern on the heat gun it is exactly the same as the Ozito 18v unit, same specs as well.

@supps101 2 күн бұрын

Why would Kincrome intentionally try and give their brand a bad name? For such a high quality tool company i would've thought they'd put more thought in every aspect. Instead we get ozito tools in blue and 10 times the price. Will probably buy the full range when they improve over time give it a few years and maybe they will run the power tool section aswell. I'm gunning for them because it would match the rest of my garage and im sure the rest of the kincrome lovers will agree.
