and then you run the mower three times as long to cut the high grass. I had to cut the front twice already. I live a mile or two from springfield. as i have mostly weeds i will be tilling it all up soon. i specifically bought a gas mower, gas power washer, gas weed whacker, gas tiller, and you guessed it, gas chain saw. i think my neighbor bought a battery chain saw. I heard them once try to cut some twigs with it. once, never again.
I cut down a tree leaning toward our home with an electric chain saw. It got the job done and then some.
I grew up in Delco. Springfield was a NIMBY-mindset area back in the day. They fancied themselves to be the Main Line. It seems nothing has changed.
I use a DeWalt 20V recip saw with a big coarse wood cutting blade for minor trimming work. It’s great for that usage.
When things get serious, out comes the Stihl power head with hedge trimmer attachment, or if it’s really serious, the Stihl chain saw.
And I love the convenience of my Ryobi electric blower for clearing off the deck, patio, and driveway. But when things get serious, out comes the Stihl gas backpack blower.
Choices are good, and so is the right tool for the job.
I have a battery powered Weed Wacker...I like it. Everything else I have is by hand or gas powered.
