Weedeater

[memphislawyer]

Time for suggestions. My Black & Decker corded electric weed eater crapped out last night. I have about a 3/4 of an acre yard and I used a corded weed eater to trim around the sidewalk and the flower beds and the curb. Gas powered, the downside is the engine repairs are more expensive and then you have to put a stabilizing gas additive over the winter or else it'll gum up. The corded is always a problem with having to drag that electric cord however it has unlimited run time. I'm thinking about a battery-powered weed eater and I've read that you want to get a lithium ion battery and perhaps even a backup. Anybody got suggestions or experiences good or bad with battery-powered weed eaters? Also should I get a battery powered blower or continue to use my electric corded one? I'm wondering if a battery powered blower would have enough strength for wind force to move hedge clippings down the yard

Milwaukee has an outstanding battery string trimmer and blower that run on the same batteries as their other tools. Worth a look if you are starting from scratch.

You might be better off checking with a lawn and garden forum. This is far adrift of the Fedora Lounge's bailiwick.
