re: California proposes bill that would ban gas lawn mowers/blowers

I don’t care about carbon emissions, what happens to the batteries, will never own a electric vehicle, but battery lawn tools are fantastic. Low noise, don’t have to wear ear protection, start every time, don’t have to buy gas, and mix fuel, I will never go back to gas.

I don't have to wear ear protection either, my gas riding lawn mower starts when i turn the key, my gas weed eater and blower start on the 3rd pull every time (even after not being used all winter), and i get gas once a year.

I got no problems with battery powered lawn equipment, but gas powered equipment will always be more powerful.
I just got a battery powered pole saw and hedge trimmer. They are ok for small stuff, and that's just what i wanted it for. The pole saw said the battery would last for 25-30 cuts, but i've used it twice now and i can barely get past 10 cuts before it's done. Fortunately I have 3 batteries.
