• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

DeWalt Leaf Blower and Trimmer

Does anyone here use the 40V battery powered trimmer and/or leaf blower from DeWalt. I have a gas powered trimmer and blower that are likely going into their last season, and I thought about getting myself a nice Christmas present.:ohyea:
 
I will tell you batteries don't last to long on these fancy electric yard tools IMO .. Now I don't have a Dewalt. Even my line trimmer doesn't last long but it doesn't matter to much at this time don't have much to trim.:roflblack:

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
 
I went to four-stroke powered string trimmers and leaf blowers. :thumbup:
I wasn't too happy with the battery-powered ones. About the time you just got things moving: they'd crap out! :banghead:
 
I've had clients ask me if I could trim their lawns with a battery trimmer to help with the gas and noise pollution. Guess the 31 hp Kawasaki powering the 72" mower was ok though.:banghead:
 
No experience with the DeWalt. The 40 amp sounds like it may do the job.

Have a Worx. Lasts for about 15 minutes before crapping out.

I don't blow leaves anymore. I just mulch them up in the spring with the rider.
 
Have the 40volt ryobi trimmer and blower,been using for 2 years.Won't go back to gas.No problems with either and the battery lasts for 2 cuttings before needing recharging.

How big is your yard? :dontknow:
I can easily fun a trimmer or blower for over two hours at a rip; and STILL have more work to do with them... :banghead:
(I shoulda bought less land! :gaah:)
 
I certainly don't need anything commercial grade....all I have is a house in town on a half acre lot. So I have the trimming around the house and a fence and flower beds n such. All I really need a blower for is cleanup after mowing, blowing out the shed and garage, and cleaning out the gutters a few times a year. I would run each about a half hour each time. After looking at a few brands, it looks like Black n Decker has some 60V stuff for pretty good prices. I can get both tools, two batteries and two chargers for $325.

Try stihl . Batteries last a long time. Even make a battery powered demo saw.

Price is reasonable

Av gas in all your small gas engines run it year around then you don't have to think about it ,you never know when your last use mite be ,nothing worse then realising in dec that you have gas from June in you chainsaw or trimmers av gas can sit for years and will start first or second pull
 
I have a Dewalt hedge trimmer and it's awesome. I like that both blades move back and forth and can cut a branch 3/4" thick. The charge seems to hold forever, excellent battery life. I realize that you're probably asking about a string trimmer, but I thought I'd chime in with my dewalt cordless experience. I love Dewalt tools.
 
Gas

I have been using trufuel (you can get it a Lowes) in all my equipment for about 5 years, I will never put pump gas in my small engines again. I know you can use stabli and other gas treatments, but I have found my blower and trimmer and pressure washer all start on fist time and run much better.

Don't know about their battery powered ones, but watch out for those gas ones!!

 
NOW if you can find a tool to stop the "Partridge family" next door to me to stop playing the Piano and musical instruments at all times of the day and night I would buy that in a heartbeat. :roflblack:
