How is it that people are selling JBL xtreme 5's, new in the box, for $275 on marketplace?

I'm tempted, but suspicious. Also, the seller has a last name that is common in Vietnam.

I've had a JBl xtreme 2 for 10 years. It got damaged this week and so I need to replace. Ordered a W-King 90W off amazon and was dissapointed in the sound. It had loudness, but not room filling bass like the Xtreme 2 did.

Are there any good options out there? Otherwise I'll just order a (more expensive) Xtreme 2 replacement.

I got a used Sprinter van a year ago. My first diesel with Blue Def. Shortly after, I picked up a box of Blue Def knowing that it would need some eventually.

Every now and then, I would open the hood to check the Blue Def level, and it had not consumed any, I could clearly see the blue fluid at the MAX level. After a 1000 mile trip, I checked it again and once more no change in the fluid level. I found this odd, but shrugged my shoulders.

Then, the dashboard threw up a message 'check blue def level'. Finally, I thought. I opened the hood to add some, but once again the reservoir of blue fluid was still at the MAX level.

LOL, by know you probably know where this is going, but when did anti-freeze coolant turn BLUE? I had been looking at the coolant reservoir thinking it was Blue Def!

When adding the Blue Def, I then discovered that it has no color.

Hope you got a chuckle!

I've got alot of oak trees and trash trees. Mainly want to get rid of the trash trees, maybe 10inch in diameter. Future use would be chopping up any fallen oak tree limbs/trees.

Is a Echo CS590 20" overkill? Or is it better to have too much saw then too little saw?

The CS590 does seem kind of unwieldy/heavy, but I can handle it. I won't be doing all day jobs, just an hour or two every now or then.

If I get a smaller saw, will I regret it when a big job comes along?

Update: Thanks for all the advice. I'm keeping the CS590, but also picking up a 40v Kobalt chainsaw for smaller jobs. Since I already have the 40v battery for the mower that I already have for lawn areas I can't get to on the zero turn, tI only need the bar tool and its on sale for $119

New to Kobalt battery tools.

Needed a mower so bought the 40V Max mower. Thought I could later buy other 40v, like a leaf blower and use the battery from the mower.

However, the battery that came with the mower is this big one piece double stack battery, which looks alot like 2 batteries in one case.

Can I use this big doublestack battery in other 40v items, like a Kobalt blower model KLB1040B-03?

Starting to wonder if I would have been better off getting the 48V (24x2) which appears to have 2 individaul batteries, rather than this big double stack one I got. That would make it easier to use the smaller battery in other tools.

UPDATE: the double stack 40v battery does fit in the blower and trimmer.
