We’re Lock Nerds Locksmith, a Buffalo, NY-based company that’s always relied on Milwaukee tools. But we’re curious—what tools do other pros trust? We're looking for honest pros and cons between Milwaukee and DeWalt to see if it's time for us to reconsider our setup.
Hi Jobber Community,
We’re in the early stages of growing our stump removal business and looking to expand our equipment. I’m currently sourcing a reliable used stump grinder (walk-behind or towable, 14–20 HP range) and would really appreciate any tips or recommendations on: Trusted websites or equipment dealers you’ve used Local auctions or dealer networks that work well for landscaping equipment What to watch for when evaluating a used grinder (wear, engine issues, etc.) If you’ve had good luck with certain brands or models—or know where to find solid secondhand machines—I'd love your input. Thanks in advance for helping us make smart, safe investments as we grow! Best, Kristian Postl A&P Stump Removal and Lawn CareAuto Detailers: Favorite Tools
Let's chat about your favorite tools or products as a detailer and why. I'll go first. Scrub Ninja / Scrub Pad: I love these for cleaning textured surfaces in interiors. It covers a lot of area and cleans out the textured areas quickly. I use them on leather seats a lot and love using them to clean out the messes that get caught in speaker grills. Rinsless Wash: I'm currently using McKee's N914 in my unite but most Rinsless wash products are great. We use it to clean most interiors because it's effective and safe on all materials inside vehicles and the dilution ratio's are crazy good. I also use it to was the exterior of vehicles. It's just a super safe and versatile product.Let's get specific! What are your top cleaning tools & pieces of equipment for commercial cleaning?

Handheld battery-powered tools have come a long way from their first iterations, especially over the past few years. I've started making the switch away from gas-powered equipment throughout the last few seasons for my business and have found the switch to be positive for my workflow and bottom line. This is a trend I believe will continue as batteries become more powerful and long-lasting. Are you utilizing any battery-powered equipment and, if so, do you have any favorites you'd like to share??
Tasks in Jobber for Equipment Maintenance
Is anyone using tasks in Jobber to track/schedule regular maintenance on equipment? Oil changes, new tires, etc. If so, I'd be curious to hear how it is working for you. How easy is it to pull up the maintenance history on a particular piece of equipment? Before looking at a separate solution, I'd prefer to use something we already have.
