If you can fix your gas powered items go for it. I been fixing my gas powered tools as needed. The dam gas is no help either.
May have to try out the gas you can get at the stores now with no ethanol

Started doing that but found out a battery powered Sander don't last long. Maybe the larger battery will get me a few more minutes. I do like there lifetime warranty on tools/batteries.
But you have to make sure you register within 90 days to get that warranty.

It's really not one single issue that I've ever had with the gas equipment. They're just both getting up there in age, and are having some minor issues. I do hate the noise and the stink of the 2 strokers, and I thought I'd give battery powered equipment a whirl. I might sell the gas stuff at our spring garage sale, or I might hang onto it....who knows?

I hear ya on the 2 stroke toys. Last winter I decided to get a 4 stroke snow blower no more mixing oil and gas and found it was really quite too.
Not sure if they sell a 4 stroke line trimmer?
I know they sell a 4 stroke leaf blower.

It would be nice if battery’s could be standardized the replacement cost is very high on drills a battery is like 70 for oem and you can buy the same drill 2 batteries and charger for 90 ,I have tried the aftermarket batteries and they haven’t been as good
2 happy happy spyders
