This year I got the weedeater and blower combo of the same brand with the 40V system and they work great. I still have my gas powered chain saw but in the future I will definitely add the 80V electric saw.
Your posts do allot to help convince folks to give battery/electric tools a fair shot. I love internal combustion and small engines in particular. I own 2 vintage Lawn Boy mowers the newest being 25 years old. But cordless tools have allot of advantages as you have shown. They pack enough battery reserve that you can almost keep working continuously with 2 batteries. I love my noisy, smokey 2-strokes, but you can't help being impressed by these newer LI tools.
