No, this one doesn’t follow. That feature wasn’t high on my list of priorities but I know people who have that and move it.TechsasJim said:
I didn't dig into this but is that the 'cart' that follows you around? Those things are darn cool...MJG said:I’m done carrying or pushing my clubs.Large Big Green Egg in a nest. North Shore of Boston. -
Nice cart caddy. I’ve got a BatCaddy. Love it. Only use on 90° rule. Above 90° and she stays parked and I ride lol

Wow!!!! Its nickname should be Bones of Fluff. Full on Caddie right there!Ozzie_Isaac said:
Now load in all the info for the course, add a GPS or IMU and have it make recommended club selections and directions based off your actual performance with each club based on a database of your actual recorded shots with clubs. All that data would be auto-populated because it would register which club you removed from the bag and how far it moved to the next shot location. All happening in the background with no user input.

3.0L Eco-Diesel. It is a V6 turbo architecture. With rated 442 ft-lbs of torque it is a fantastic little power plant.

At least DeWalt is still an American owned brand, Milwaukee has been owned by the Chinese for more than a decade.

There seems to be more options with Milwaukee. It is nice to get off a extension cord and air hose.South of Columbus, Ohio.

Thru HS/college, I worked for Sioux Falls Structures, we made construction site/specialty trailers. They bought power tools willy-nilly (batteries weren't a thing back then) and I quickly gravitated to Milwaukee: solid metal bodies, heavy-duty red plastic handles, and they always worked; others like Ryobi and Skil broke if you looked at them funny.HeavyG said:

My personal arsenal includes DeWalt, Bosch, Milwaukee, and a 40-yr-old Craftsman drill that refuses to die (albeit the Forward/Reverse switch is wired backwards, I'm used to it). All wired; the only battery tool I have is a new Dremel, replacing a 50-yr-old Craftsman rotary tool!
Sad to learn Milwaukee is now Chinese-owned; although there ARE some incredibly well-made Chinese tools on the market now (and some absolute crap)._____________Tin soldiers and Johnson's coming...

More than one hundred twenty years ago, along the banks of the Rock River in Sterling, IL a small hardware company was founded. The National Manufacturing Company was a family owned business that grew into one of the largest manufacturers of builder's hardware in the world. National hinges, clasps, latches, and other hardware was in nearly every hardware store in America.
Then, Stanley bought them in 2005. 250 of the most down-to-earth, honest people who ever worked in a factory were out of a job. Not because the little plant on the banks of the Rock River wasn't making money, but because Stanley tool thought there was more long term profit in hardware from China. The CEO of Stanley was paid an $32,000,000 the year he shut down the Rock Falls plant. That ranks him #5 in terms of CEO pay.
Stanley owns many major tool manufacturers. DeWalt, Craftsman, Black and Decker, etc. etc. They have since sold National Hardware to Spectrum brands. But, I know it was Stanley that closed the little factory.
Before buying any tool brand, I check to make sure they are not owned by Stanley. I never worked there, but I was raised in Sterling, IL and I know many of those 250 families.
Full disclosure: I do business in China, too. But, I always try to make it accretive to the business already being done in the USA.Clinton, Iowa -
@dbCooper I ordered it yesterday so I don’t have an opinion yet. I expect it will take at least a month to ship. I purchased it for my own education. I also have a few projects that this may help speed up.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli
