And another pro tip on shop vac maintenance. Hold my beer and watch this:Quote:

What could possibly go wrong?
Yup, that’s the main reason that I keep my tiny little workshop at about 58-60 degrees all winter, Ann the ego batteries, bike light batteries, bike batteries, etc.Quote:

Finally got a true test of our Ego [emoji638] stage snow blower. Got just over a foot of snow in town. Woke up early for a powder day and was able to blow through the [emoji639]-[emoji640] foot tall snow bank from the street plow in no time. Didn’t wake the wife or the neighbors, the electrical whine does carry like a gas engine. Didn’t even use half the battery. Easily as much power as the gas Arien’s it replaced, likely more with how far this thing throws snow. Glad to have finally tested it.
Honda has new electric mowers coming out this year. Four walk-behinds and a zero-turn. The zero-turn is going to be north of 15k.
I just moved 6' of snow from the last Mammoth storm, plus the street shit the city blows onto the driveway and refreezes. Try that with a battery powered snow blower. Plus it needs to arch up into the air 20-30 feet just to get on top of the city piles.
Scoping mowers and looking at the Greenworks CRZ428 zero-turn. 80v system. 42" deck. The Costco version comes with 12 4Ah batteries. Looks like the mower takes 6 batteries at a time, and run time with 6 is more than enough for my use case. How are these things?

Really want a stander for the ergos and smaller footprint but electric standers are $$$$.
Anyone have experience with the Milwaukee sixteen inch bar M eighteen chainsaw? It’s a hundred bucks off right now
A 42” deck electric mower? wtf. 12 batteries? You got money to burn I guess. A gas version will last several lifetimes unless you are a landscaper. Then it will only last ten years.
As for any electric chain saw fuck yeah. For a homeowner it’s so much easier. Still need bar oil and chains. But grab it and go is so nice. Not as fast. But quieter for stealth work.
My buddy said he almost never runs his gas saws any more cuz he likes that m18 one so much. Great toolQuote:

You'll shoot your eye out ;)
battery chain saws rule. You can't buck rounds all day but killer for limbing and taking down smaller trees. I have a battery one in my arsenal of saws.

I bought the Dewalt version for Christmas.Quote:

The Milwaukee cultivator attachment works better than expected for tilling. Forward is shallower than pulling backwards which grinds down a couple inches. The [emoji638] speeds are nice. It’s very handy for grinding up gopher mounds.

Passing on this one. Likely going gas stander. Reluctantly.Quote:

Right. They have a commercial line with on-board batteries but the entry point is well north of 10k.

This won't happen. There are benefits to the end user, but it just goes against free markets. And how would it work with existing tools...it couldn't, so that would be incredibly wasteful.
Can we sic them on MTB companies next to force just one single standard???
Checking the date on that article....Apr 1 lol.
