Mom has been wanting/needing a new weedeater to use since she works in the yard most everyday... naturally she’s gotten older and a little weaker and she mentioned a corded weedeater for weight purposes... I was thinking of trying to get her a battery powered one so she doesn’t have to fool with extension cords etc... are there any suggestions for one that won’t break the bank but also weighs less? She usually just cuts part of the grass etc multiple times a day while taking breaks... I have a gas powered but it’s to heavy (11-12lbs) and is a straight shaft... I am hoping for possibly a 8lb or lighter if there’s such a thing..any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yeah most of it is light cutting so to speak.. anything thicker I take care of I just can’t make it there everyday and they are in the yard piddling pretty much everyday.

Pump up sprayer with glyphosate. The original cordless weedeater.

I recently bought a kobalt 40v string trimmer at Lowe's. Only used it once so far but it worked much better than I was expecting. Think it weighs 7 lbs, its pretty light. I bought it because I've been so impressed with the kobalt 40v pole saw I bought about a year ago. Battery life is very good and now I have 2 batterys

I have a Kobalt light duty electric chainsaw that does real good for small stuff. I wouldnt try it on a big job cause its only a 14" but it does cut for a solid two hours on one battery.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Roundup is my favorite cordless weedeater.

Stihl has a whole line of lithium powered tools. Ridiculous pricey but they make quality stuff.
