I got the 40 volt Husqvarna string trimmer. Works great and my wife can handle it with ease.

I have the ryobi expand it with trimmer, pole saw and hedge trimmer.
Upgraded last weekend to Ego trimmer blower combo kit.
Got tired of the wife coming in... i cant start the blower. We have a stihl gas leaf blower i will leave at the cabin.
Selling the ryobi stuff on craigslist. Had it sold this weekend then the guy says he wants me to drive halfway to him... no thanks

Honestly its ok at best.
But having a gas pole saw up north has my expectations high.
For minimal use it works. Pole is a bit on flimsy side.
Definitely not bad. I have no experience with any other electric ones to compare.

Hmmmm. The wife quit telling me what needs done in the yard a long time ago (it was shortly after she mowed over a couple of sawtooths I had planted). Haven't owned a weed eater for a very long time, I use gly. I am interested in the battery operated stuff though. The best tool I've ever owned is a Dewalt drill. Amazing how lazy I am when it comes to grabbing an extension cord.

Battery powered chainsaw anyone? The vids I have watched point to the Echo being the brand to buy, or was 6 months ago. I want one, and hope to have one before the fall.

I have the 18v ryobi saw. I love it. It’s not what I’d choose for a day of cutting. But, for quick jobs and just keeping strapped to the ATV, it is perfect. That and my polar trailer are my favorite tools.

I'm impressed with the cultivator. I doubt the thing would break untilled ground, but in a veggie garden that has been previously tilled it does a very nice job. I'm done with weeding, except inside the rows. Should have bought one of these things years ago. |

I have an E-GO 54 Volt blower here in MN and In OZ. Absolutely love these....as my wife can run them at will. Also have the EGO Hedge Trimmer and use it to cut down the grass bunches and flowers in fall......and to trim some of my deer trails at the land. Considering an EGO chain saw......but my little Stiihl seems to work pretty well. Sometimes it gets "Bucky" and I wish for an electric model.

I added the Ryobi leafblower to the selection of tools this week. Sure beats the heck out of sweeping the sidewalks  |
