Anyone own a lithium powered weed wacker? I'm fed up messing with 2-cycle engines and wondering if a lithium weed wacker can handle the workload. Been eyeing a 40v model that uses the same battery as my lithium hedge trimmers (which I bought about a year ago and have been very pleased with).
I've had a Black and Decker--whatever the cheapest model is (18v battery?). Worked oK for a few years but winding down its life and the batteries don't hold charge as well as they used to. Batteries are like $50 so I went and bought a Ryobi model this year--was on sale at Home Depot. $70 I believe. Working well so far although I don't do much heavy duty stuff. The line seems shorter than the B&D one so had to start on the replacements already. And it only came with one battery. If I get 5 or so years out of it seems worth it. As you say the 2 cycle engines are a pain.
