My electric hedge trimmer has a sticky trigger. It definitely requires some extra attention.

Just got an Ego trimmer. More power than the Stihl 2 stroke it replaces.
And I don't smell like gasoline after using it, which is nice.

Battery Powered Lawn Tools
A bit rich on the oil mix and it keeps the mozzies away
Ego batteries (3 -5A) going on their 4th summer. One was acting up with the snowblower this past winter, but with the lack of snow there was no reason to replace so far. Just mowed the lawn the first time this year. Still happy with the upgrade from the reel mower.

I've got one to run a Harbor Freight sprayer with a DeWalt battery, but I don't know enough about the systems involved to trust them on a high-drain device (particularly since some battery systems have heat protection and low voltage cutoffs in the batteries and others have it in the tools, at least according to the Internet).

Dewalt here.
Had the blower and weedwhacker.
Damn. A three extension pole branch trimer is balls.
Wouldn’t go back. And by back I mean chainsaw and ladder or hand extension pruner. Fuck that shit.
Haven’t even sharpened the blade yet. And cut a couple dozen limbs.
Only thing is they leak oil when storedI’ve just decided to be a middle aged somewhat depressed somewhat anxious fucktard until the end.

I was amused to see an Ego minibike at my local hardware store today.

I have that one too and yeah, it's great and it was cheap. I have 4 batteries already so it was an easy choice that turned out to be a good one. I have a bunch of their yard stuff and an impact driver and drill too that all works on the 18v and it's totally sufficient for what I've asked of it.

Got the matching trimmer and slapped the lower half from my Husky on it, works a dream.
Also stuck the tiller head on it, no problem turning some soil.

I got the Bauer pole saw at Harbor Freight and it works great. Very impressed with the cutting power and duration. Got the 9 inch chainsaw that uses the same battery and that works great too. Hardly ever fire up the gas saw anymore except to cut down the big boys. Ended up getting a circular saw too for cutting bones and antlers when processing big game animals. Haven't tried it on a human yet

It's a 970 but I hink it's the same thing, It's about 5 years old. I had good luck with it but I just overheated it and let the smoke out cutting a patch of thistles. I haven't had to replace any batteries even though the smaller ones get used daily. I've been very happy with the DeWalt products but wasn't impressed with their mower. I've been thinking of getting an Ego commercial brush cutter to save wear on the DeWalt.
I bought a heat gun at Harbor freight and rewired it to use DeWalt batteries I also had to remove a small amount of plastic on it to get the batteries to fit, It's not as powerul as a corded one but for small 5 minute jobs it works great and it was about $70 cheaper than a DeWalt.
