    I have had a gut feeling all along that he was near water... in a pool :( something like that. Then I heard his mother this morning say he loved the water. I do not think this will end well.

    I can't decide if I want another M1A, a CMMG Banshee in 10mm or a B&T APC10. Only the last two I can actually find in stock right now.

    I have a mower, Weedeater, Trimmer, blower, chainsaw, tiller, and edger. I love them all. All the power of the gas ones I used to have, with no maintenance, no heat, and a lot less noise.
    I have been looking at these E GO tools lately. They are kind of expensive and the reviews are mixed. It's good to hear from some satisfied owners. I'm assuming that cost will come down and power/reliability will improve with time. My gas powered stuff still runs fine but when it finally breaks or wears out, I will most likely make the switch.

    I just bought the EGO string trimmer & blower. Lowes has them on sale right now. Just like using the corded ones, without the cords. Not as much power as a gas string trimmer, but got the job done.

    I don't know. I have rough land, and between the string trimmer and the hedge trimmer attachment, there is not much I can't cut down.

    My neighbor bought a bunch too after using mine.

    The key is to have multiple batteries. The larger devices come with larger batteries and quicker chargers. That charger can fully charge a battery in the time it takes me to drain the same size.

    Batteries are EXPENSIVE if you buy them. If you get one with a device though, they are pretty cheap. For instance, I think my chainsaw was $50 more than just the battery it came with was by itself. I ended up with a 7.5Ah, a 5Ah, and two 2.5Ah batteries, which has covered anything I needed to do.

    When we bought the house, my father told me to go out and buy a lithium impact driver and drill -- he has corded at home but uses lithium powered at work. I stuck with just my corded drill for most of the kitchen tear out and rebuild and then it died. Took his advice then. Should have listened the first time, as per usual.

    Impact, drill, blower, string trimmer now and 4 batteries and it's great.

    *Don't have EGO brand, but I just had instinct against the battery power ones for whatever reason.

    Think about all of those little African kids digging that poisonous lithium for your batteries.

    I have gone through literally dozens of them and have about a dozen now.
