LOL! Just takes someone to point the obvious out to me.

Makita makes the same type of setup, but it’s made in the USA vs Milwaukee made in China

I’ve got the Dewalt flexvolt blower and trimmer. They’ll last longer with a 9ah battery than you will.

I run a Ryobi 40v mower on my 3/4 acre lot.  The 5ah battery is typically *just* enough. I bought an extra 2ah battery for when I’m slow.

The Lithium ion batteries have a much better life cycle than the old NiCads.  They’re typically rated to have at least 80% capacity remaining after 40 charges.

interesting info if you are interested in cutting vs tearing grass when trimming.

There are very few things I love more than some good high speed camera content.

Those were interesting results. Cutting shape aside - what I really want is the one I have to change the least often.

Not much difference, but a refill of .105 seems to last longer than a refill of .095, even though my trimmer holds less of it (assuming decent quality line, not dollar store stuff).  But I use a 2 cycle Red Max.  I wouldn’t try .095 or .105 on most of the electric trimmers I’ve seen.

If you’re a man that doesn’t like power tools, I just don’t know what to say.

They wait till I got to old to use them and then they come out with fun new toys for big kids to play with...……...
