Our new place has a smaller property than our last so I plan on going to a cordless blower but I have to stay with the gas string trimmer. We have a semi-forested area of blackberries and vines that take some serious wacking and cutting with the blade. But the batt chainsaw would be nice. The thing is none of the brands seem to have the best of every tool I need. I may need a separate outdoor tool platform. I already have the Ryobi chainsaw pole trimmer and the tiny battery it came with is amazing.

Then they'd go wonky after I hefted tools and gas containers a quarter mile to do whatever needed doing. A morning clearing brush meant an afternoon cleaning carbs. Battery power just works. No fuel to mix, no intricate maintenance, less noise. Much more gooder.
