    Default Yard Equipment?

    I'm to the point that I need to get some new stuff. Blower and weedeater for now. Those of you using the battery powered stuff are you happy with it? What brand are you using?

    I have a Echo 58 volt weed eater that works great. Would like to buy the matching blower but I have a electric black and decker edgehog I use for the drive and sidewalk so I will just use the blower I have until it dies.

    I have an ego electric weed eater.

    I like it and the battery lasts my yard no problem. But it’s only a .25 acre lot in a subdivision.

    I have the ryobi battery self propelled mower, wife wanted it, works better than i expected so today i bought the ryobi weedeater. Uses the same 40v battery. It works better than i expected also. They are for doing yardwork tho, doubt they would last on rough stuff, established yard no problem tho

    I have the 20 volt DeWalt weed eater and blower. Bought that one since I already had plenty of 20 volt batteries. My buddy has the 60 volt weed eater and it is beyond impressive.

    The blower will eat the 20 volt batteries Lil quicker than the weed eater does but have zero complaints. Would but another if it quit today.

    If you have any cordless tools might as well go with brand you have batteries for

    Ego, they all use the same battery.

    Thought this was a hunting / southern / mens forum , if you can’t use gas powered quality yard tools just hire someone to do it ..

    I drug around a black and decker weedeater with a white extension cord for 8 years. Somehow my pride is still intact.

    I would have electric yard tools if I had a small yard. But if I had a small yard I’d be a sad man.

    I own two gas blowers and nine times out of ten I grab the Dewalt blower with a 60v.

    And I feel no less of a man for doing it.

    I have the weedeater at work for around the office trailer and have never had a complaint about it.

    If you do go battery make sure you get 60v.

    How loud is the 20volt Dewalt blower compared to a handheld stihl?

    I have a big back pack blower but for the easy stuff around the garage it would be nice to have a quiet electric blower. Especially when the kids are playing in the garage also.

    I’ve got the 20v Dewalt system. Got a pole saw, weed eater, blower and pressure washer. They’ll all take the 60v batteries if I’m not mistaken, which is why I went 20v instead of 60v. The 20v will run off the 60v but 60v won’t run off 20v.

    I had a 1/2 acre yard before and had no complaints. I could weedeat around the house and the fence lines and then use that same battery to blow off the driveway, porches, etc.

    The pole saw is a bad little bitch. The pressure washer isn’t very heavy duty, but it’s pretty handy for when you need more than a spray nozzle on a hose but don’t need to drag out an actual pressure washer.
