I thought that a couple of years ago when someone I know said they had swapped to a rechargeable mower. But I've recently changed my mind.

I used to go for petrol garden tools because you always consider them the most powerful and quickest at refueling to keep going.

But I've got a 1/3 acre garden and with 2x 6Ah 18v batteries the 36v Makita lawnmower might actually do thr while thing on a single charge. If not I have 2 3Ah batteries to do the last bit.

I've not bought the most yet, but I'm really impressed with the Makita chainsaw I just bought. More power and torque then my petrol one and easily managed to do enough logs to fill the woodstore by the house. No more hassle buying fuel and mixing it.

There is still something about petrol tools though. That loud engine and all that power. Electric is a bit quiet. 😄
