Electric string trimmers- recommendations?

You can’t accomplish heavier tasks with the electric trimmers and chainsaws.

You may be surprised what the electric chain saw will do. I still have a gas one for after the hurricanes.

I have a couple of electric chain saws. They’re fine for light work.

Stick with DeWalt 20V and you can swap in their new PowerStack batteries that fit all their 20V tools and chargers. More power, less weight.

I got that as a drill. Now I need to buy more DeWalt stuff just to be able to use the same batteries.

Ugh... still undecided. I have two Echo blowers - a back pack and a hand held. gas powered. Maybe stihl is the way to go b/c Stihl has all of that.

I’m waiting for Stihl to come out with a battery truck…

I have a 40v ryobi that works well, it is not the cheaper version as it is made of mostly metal and very heavy duty. Best part is reloading the string is simple, which makes it worth it over so many other brands imo.

I just bought a electric mower, it's a Skil and so far so good

In most electric tools, the fade and finally fail because bushes in the motor wear out
Makita makes drills where you can simply remove a cap and replace brushes within a minute or two.

The battery pack will work with some of their other, products so I may get a battery chain saw or trimmer for my hedges in Florida. I am banned from using a corded trimmer because I caught the cord with the blades.
I obviously didn't expect that but I was not shocked . I know that is bad even by dad joke standards.
Anyway some of the hedges have leaves that turn into into sharp points that act like a thorn and don't flower. I'll probably take them down.

Skil is EGO. It is all part of Chervon which is a Chinese that has bought several old brand names. I wonder if the batteries are compatible between the brands.
