Well, welcome to the present.
The EGO battery tools are fantastic and even superior to some having gasoline engines. I know........ I use them regularly and have put up with the vagaries of gasoline engines for +50 years. I am trained in gas engine maintenance.
I know the difference between two cycle and four cycle engines and have owned and used many over the years.
You have an anti electric bias that is totally unfounded. Believe me.
Everybody is now making electrics. The market is eliminating/replacing gas with electric/battery operation . My suggestion is try the EGO 56 volt and be wary of cheap. EGO is not only good but very good
Disclaimer: I am not associated with EHO other than ownership.
“You have an anti electric bias that is totally unfounded. “
I have NO such thing.
I made NO aspersions to electric AT ALL.
My statement:
‘Or you could have just purchased a 4-cycle string trimmer initially and NEVER would have had to deal with crappy 2-cycle units.’
doesn’t even MENTION electric/electricity/ or electric string trimmers.
I stand by my statement.
(OH! Here’s a eye-opener for you - I have nine cordless electric tools)!
I also have EGO tools
Self propelled lawn mower
String trimmer/edger
Hedger
Backpack type blower
I think they are great.
