I know you have your batteries which always sucks with no tools. But if you've been using it for 15 years why not buy a stihl? You have a great reason to go spend the extra cash! There blowers are awsome! I'm pretty sure they have a 4t range now if 2t isn't your preference. Or get a honda 4t it will live forever.
I’ve gone the opposite!Quote:

Everyone has there reasons, electric is nice and quiet and cheaper to run including maintenance free, easy to use great for around the house and neighbors don't hate you.Quote:

I have been meaning to get an electric cordless blower for work probs milwaukee because that's the batteries I've got.
And an electric chainsaw even ozito will do for out at the woodpile!
Absolutely agree.
The Stihl gear has been faultless. I have a blower and a Chainsaw and neither has given an ounce of trouble.
If I was on a larger property it would remain that way.
Logistics - getting home late etc means electric ticks all the boxes for a quiet, cost effective solution *in my application* and I’ll no longer need 3 fuels either which is just a bonus as I never burn the 2T before it goes off and has to be disposed of.
Even the boat has fuel stabiliser because it doesn’t get the use it deserves.
I got married. Im lazy i guess. She does all that squirting stuff............ well not all, lets say most. She certainly looks after the landscape though........ Hang on i forgot what were talkin about......Quote:

Having said that, I have also broken a wooden handled cultivator on hard dried out clay soil. I also have a plastic trowel.

I've been using one of these for weeding the cat-head (caltrop) burrs out of the back backyard. Also works a charm for aerating hard clay soil like I have in my neverending quest to get some degree of grass coverage over this (modestly) great brown patch of land.
