we got a bunch of stuff on the stihl ap300 battery system over the last year or so
- chainsaw
- pole saw
- lawnmower



the chainsaw needs chain oil and regular sharpening but thats about it, and very lightweight without any idle noise or vibration since its effectively just a motor on a 227Wh battery

I was this close to getting that very thing. I just have so much chainsawing to do - three large pines and two 100+ year old widowmaker gums - I pussied out and went 2 stroke.

the no tool chain adjuster is loving bullshit. but the chain is good. hardly had to sharpen it. better than my old Jobmate chainsaw, which I have inevitably thrown into the swamp.

anyway 10/10 would saw again.

i bought a battery operated mower for our 1/6 acre yard and it’s one of the smartest purchases I’ve ever made. what was not a smart purchase was the manual reel mower that immediately preceded it.

i have a plug in mower that was a hand me down from a coworker 18 years ago that's still keeping my postage stamp of a front lawn tidy.

this discussion reminds me of a trip out to a friend's wedding a couple years ago. her late father had a hobby of making mini bikes (like seats 8" off the ground) out of lawnmower engines and cut down bike frames so we took them out for a spin. there were also a couple battery powered mini bikes. the ICE bikes needed a little kick boost to get started but then they ran nicely, just putting along. so when you try out the electric bikes and apply a similar throttle you end up on your rear end and the bike flipped upside down, they were comparatively demons from hell

i like corded power tools because i'm not a contractor and there's nowhere on the property i can't reach with an extension cord. costs a lot less, you can buy whatever brand mix you want, more power, don't have to remember to charge batteries

i still say they should make power supplies that turn battery tools into plug-ins so you have the option. switchers are cheap and yes i know the currents involved. its not that big of a deal. your PC's power supply puts out plenty.

fair i guess. i’ve never understood the whole berating a spouse thing, we wouldn’t care if either one of us bought a necessary tool

ya ours has been amazing and we just let the neighbours on either side borrow it when they need so that i don’t have to put up with lovely dinomowers next door

bought the weed eater that uses the same batts too and it’s been great

Ego makes a battery version of a zero turn mower. People seem to like it but say it's expensive.

absolutely no one cares, but that steeplechase wall says Stockholm City and has the St Erik logo, one of the ladies has the Stockholm Three Crowns tattooed on her thigh and the footage is from Swedish public tv.

it's probably from the Olympic Stadium, but the 1912 one right here in the city :sweden:
