For trimming limbs, from a downed tree, I find a sharp axe is much easier to deal with than batteries or cords, or gas chainsaw. It always starts, no gas to mix, and never needs carb cleaned, and, it's easier to carry. On Mon, May 6, 2024 at 8:13 PM dan penoff.com via Mercedes <

And they (Milwaukee) do have a number of options, so maybe I’ll look at that. Need to do some research on them, too. -D > On May 6, 2024, at 7:58 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes > wrote: > > Some good points, Allan, thanks! > > I’m heavily invested in the MIlwaukee “M18” platform, so I may

Some good points, Allan, thanks! I’m heavily invested in the MIlwaukee “M18” platform, so I may look and see what they have. Never thought to look there…duh! -D > On May 6, 2024, at 6:59 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > Just to add, I also have their electric push mower, which

Just to add, I also have their electric push mower, which uses the same batteries. Except for the color and branding, it looks identical to a lot of the electric mowers sold at Lowes, Amazon, and other places. I don't know if the batteries are interchangable but I think they are all made by

Just buy a new carb for the Stihl. I just put one on mine after struggling with it for some time. It was supposedly an actual Stihl unit but didn’t have a Stihl label but I think it was OEM. Works well now, $40 or so. I have an old Sears plug-in electric but the plastic housing broke and I
