Reading that thread got me to looking at the 60V MAX Flexvolt system from DeWalt. They have gone slightly insane with the tools they are making cordless now!

I have a few flex volt Dewalts. A 60v leaf blower (AWESOME), impact, hammer drill and impact drill. Looking at the 60v chain saw and circular saw next.

Yeah, I love my Honda 4 stroke string trimmer, but I'm considering selling it and getting a 60V DeWalt trimmer/ I also like the idea of being able to use the 60V batteries in both the 60V as well as the 20V MAX tools I have

Wonder how long until battery takes over that market I bought a new weedeater and blower (both gas) two years ago. Echo dealer I bought from said he thought within 5 years...so from his estimation, about 3 more years. Sure seems like for Joe consumer with a typical cookie cutter yard that battery is the no brainer choice right now.

I have the trimmer, pole saw and blower 40v and love them. Had them a few years and I only have the 2.0 ah battery and they work great. Would love to have the 80v stuff though, I bet that stuff is awesome!

So how much is a battery if/when one goes bad? As I recall about $80. I bought one to have a spare. Worked well for trimming shooting lanes and small trees a few times a year. No substitute for a big nice 2-stroke polesaw though.

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

I've got just about every piece they make for the Kobalt 40v - blower, trimmer, chainsaw, pole saw, pruners. I just made sure that when I bought each piece that it was some kind of package deal with a battery/charger. I have way more batteries and chargers than I'll ever need. I took the handheld blower and a battery/charger up to the camp and bought a Stihl battery blower package for my home. The Stihl may be a little more powerful, but not really worth the extra money to me. I still have a Stihl backpack gas blower, a couple of gas chainsaws and a gas weed eater but when I'm just doing my standard yard cuttin', I use the Kobalt stuff.

Jughead I have the GW blower comes out at 168mph that sucker is impressive It is, I have the blower and the hedge trimmer also. The blower weighs around 7lbs or 8lbs. with the battery. I did end up buying a 4.0AH battery from Greenworks directly (reconditioned) for my weed eater/edger. I can weed eat and edge my entire yard (pool, circle drive, flower beds everywhere) and have half a battery or more remaining. I am debating on buying their self propelled mower.

Doesn't make sense to have to competing "store brands" brands under the same roof.

If you haven't been in a Lowe's recently, it looks like cans of red and black paint exploded over the tool section. Everything in the tool section in the Mobile store I went in a week or so back, was Craftsman red and black
