/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2777313
Lawn mower is the only thing else I still have that’s gas because it’s a larger 4-cycle engine and easier to maintain. The rest is 18V Ridgid and Ryobi. The 18V packs run shit just as well as your standard 25cc Homelite with no degraded fuel lines and such. The last tool was my weed whacker, after getting the battery chainsaw and blower and hedge trimmer and seeing how well they worked, I told myself I’m getting a cordless weed whacker when the next issue with the 2-stroke model inevitably arises. The pull start mechanism shat out and I binned the thing and went 18V.

If I weren’t using the 18V packs for other tools and was only going battery powered yard equipment, I might go Ryobi 40V, the Ego 56V stuff is supposed to be real nice too.

When this mower dies, I’m like 50/50 whether I go electric or get another gas mower and see what the options are 10 years down the line when that one dies.
