They have their place. Guys I work with who have electric saws will have the tree in the road cut up in the time it takes me to get my gas saw warmed up.Have a B&D 40 volt. For those occasions where you need more than loppers or a bow saw, but don't want to fire up the Stihl or Husky. Light, short duty.
The string trimmer, leaf blower and hedge trimmer all take the same battery. The key is don't have more to do than one battery.![]()
