Battery Wacker Plate

[fred]

see belle have brought one out. their battery mixer is very good.

Like all battery kit, the upfront is dear but no more engines to maintain and fuel to carry is tempting....

One would hope the battery terminals are crimped down well.

Interesting to see the run time. We have just got a hilti battery road breaker. And it's really good, for 15 minutes.
It suits us for certain jobs but still have to carry a beaver pack as back up

F that!

It also doesn't remove any hassle tbh. The electric breaker is good when compared to a beaver pack or electric and generator. However Wacker plates are already pretty self contained

and a lot more ... you'd almost certainly need two batteries

Wonder if they used the pull cord cover to trick people to buy it thinking it's a petrol

Fair enough for internal jobs, basements etc.. but they can charge big money for that..

The other possibility is night work with reduced noise when working.
I can see it being nice to use but not at that price.

These are really good for the convenience factor and the are really quite in comparison to petrol.

carbon neutral is being heavily pushed by the banks. Can save tens of thousands financing house builds if you can demonstrate carbon savings/good EPC.

its a case of not being able to afford not to use electric kit.

What bugs me is say a Tesla 3 isn’t much more expensive than equivalent performance/ style car… yet a simple wacker plate is 3 x the price of a comparable quality and 10x the price of a ‘cheapo’ make which still does the same job?!

Surely if they actually wanted to sell these by the thousands they would have sorted the pricing structure out first?!

im waiting for dewalt to bring one out as we allready have the batteries. Milwaukee already have one.
