In May 2021 we had the opportunity to review the STIHL BGA 57 (click here to view). We found the BGA 57 an outstanding option compared to the hassle and noise of traditional gas-powered blowers. We jumped at the chance when STIHL asked if we would be interested in testing the new BGA 60 battery-powered leaf blower. This was the first time in recent memory we had the opportunity to run a follow-up test on the latest model, which did not disappoint.
The STIHL BGA 60 Blower is the most powerful, handheld battery-powered blower in the STIHL AK System, providing 45 percent more blowing force than the BGA 57 while delivering a range of features for comfort and convenience. Two noticeable features include the variable-speed trigger and boost mode, which helps clear grass clippings, leaves and other yard debris from hard surfaces. The high-performance AK 30 lithium-ion battery has no battery memory limitation, no gradual drop in power; it runs at full speed until the battery is depleted. As with everything within the AK System, the batteries can be swapped with other STIHL tools within the system.
The same tester who has been using the BGA 57 since May 2021 was asked to share his opinion on the new BGA 60. Our tester quickly noted the variable speed trigger, enabling the user to control the blower’s force better. The feature increased the blower’s usefulness because now he could use it to clean up yard debris in delicate planting beds. Our tester also noted the increased power is instantly noticeable. When running on high, the blower pulls his shorts towards the intake vent. Here’s how our tester summed up his experience with the BGA 60: “Stihl took an already exceptional product and made it even better!”
If you are a STIHL dealer, the BGA 60 is a must-have handheld battery-powered leaf blower.
SENIX is a new brand in the independent hardware channel offering a wide variety of battery- and gas-powered power tools, trimmers, saws, and lawncare products. As “the Official Power Tools of Richard Childress Racing,” the company “strives to create powerful, affordable products that remain eco-minded with low-to-no emissions and a reduced environmental impact. Bottom line, we deliver premium performance at an exceptional value.” Click here to view a brief company video.
The 2-Tool Combo Kit features a ½-inch hammer drill driver and ¼-inch impact driver. The kit also contains two 20-volt lithium-ion batteries, one battery charger, and a premium storage bag. The hammer drill has a keyless ratcheting 19-position clutch with a two-speed gearbox providing up to 2,000 rpm. The impact driver features an auto-load hex collet for a secure, one-handed bit connection. Both offer LED lighting to illuminate the workspace and reversible belt clips for convenience.
Because the SENIX line is designed for the DIYer who wants quality tools without breaking the bank, we provided our samples to testers who only had low-quality, disposable cordless drills. Our testers immediately commented on the ergonomics and quality feel of both units. One tester also mentioned having both driver options provided the opportunity to pair the proper tool with the job versus “just trying to make it work.” All testers agreed the kit’s $249 retail price point makes this an extremely attractive offer.
If your store carries power tools or is looking to enter the market, consider the SENIX line for a high-quality tool at an affordable price.
When was the last time you looked up at the ceiling of your store, office, or home and were inspired? Have you ever entered an older building with an ornate metal ceiling and you are immediately transported to a different time? Ceilume seeks to bring back an era where the ceiling is an inspiring design element instead of an afterthought. Ed Davis, president of Ceilume, believes, “there truly is a ceiling treatment to fit every taste, every space, and every budget, and that’s a good thing.”
Ceilume offers drop ceiling tiles and glue-up tiles in numerous colors and finishes with styles ranging from classic to modern and even off the charts. All tiles are manufactured in Graton, Calif., utilizing hand-built molds with relentless attention to detail, and 100 percent of the raw materials used are recycled back into the process. Click here for a video showcasing the company and its people-first culture “from a crew that gives a damn!”
We received samples of the drop ceiling tiles and provided them to one of our testers who owns commercial real estate. Our tester wanted to change the feel of a small office space for rent without spending much money or downtime. The tiles were easily installed into the traditional drop ceiling grid. The company supplies a robust installation booklet with QR codes for how-to videos. Our tester was more than pleased and honestly a little surprised how changing a simple design element of the office created a more modern feel versus the traditional mineral fiber tiles.If your store currently carries ceiling tiles, or you would like to give your customers more options than everyone else offers, give Ceilume a call.

Cleva North America offers a portfolio of innovative brands, including Vacmaster®, Vacmaster Professional®, Duravac™, Kenmore®, Kenmore Elite®, Armor All™ and LawnMaster®. We received a shipment of their newest Vacmaster Professional® Beast Series addition—a 12-gallon 5.5 horsepower model. The 12-gallon addition fits nicely within their current Beast Series, including the 16-, 14- and 5-gallon models.
The 12-Gallon 5.5 hp model utilizes a polypropylene tank with a built-in hose, power cord and accessory storage in a compact footprint. The compact footprint is a benefit of the vacuum flat-head motor design, making storage even simpler. The vacuum also boasts a total cleaning reach of 27”, reducing the need to move the unit constantly. It also offers the ability to switch to a blower, enhancing its versatility. See below to view a short product video.
Every home should own at least one wet/dry vacuum for the inevitable leaks, spills and debris too large for a standard house vacuum. Using this logic, we supplied our samples to a mix of testers—professional contractors, active DIYer and the occasional user. All testers commented on the impressive suction power of the 5.5 hp motor and extensive accessories.
Two comments stood out from our active DIYer and occasional user. Our DIYer noted the exceptional cleaning reach led them to clean up more frequently, since it was simpler to use it quickly. The occasional user experienced a clogged drain and needed to empty the sink of water before fixing it. The vacuum’s oversized drainage allowed them to drain the unit without lifting it.
If your store sells wet/dry vacuums, consider adding the Vacmaster Professional® Beast Series, including the new 12-gallon model. The vacuum can handle the everyday abuse on the construction site and make quick work of home clean-up.
