grimsbylander Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I have a question that's kind of related...maybe. As an alternative to the whole storing gas debate, has anyone had first hand experience with the cordless lithium powered string trimmers? My neighbour has had one for about a year and loves it. Just not sure what to buy and what will handle a 90'x130' lot. Sorry if I'm highjacking your thread Brian, I just thought it may be a good alternative for condo's etc.?

JoePa Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Trufuel at $9.00 a liter - holy mackeral - I can buy ethanol free 95 octane gas at $3.45 a gallon - add a half ounce of stabilizer and some 50 to 1 oil and I have the same thing at approx. $ 1.00 a liter - sounds like a ripe off - I cut about 5 cords of wood each year at that rate I'd go broke - if you use a lot of gas in you chainsaw you would be better to find some ethanol free gas and mix it with a stabilizer and oil yourself - just saying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont need fuel and oils and stabilizer lying around. Get my friendly deed done with a can or two and I have nothing left behind. 18 bucks aint going to break me once a year..

My actual lot is only about 47' x 110'. But I also maintain two boulevards and a greenway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if you can't charge the batteries you're SOL, unless you buy spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I paid $400 at Crappy tire a couple years ago. Agreed that $800 is excessive, hope that's just temporary. There are some hidden benefits of battery augers; no fuel, oil, stuff on your hands, carb kits, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand why everyone is struggling to understand this point. So you're cheap and want to spend less? Great, have at 'er. Why care that we find a few extra dollars for convenience works for us???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
