I was on the fence about the echo stuff. Came down to availability for me on that one. Let us know how it holds up.
Me too, and I still like a rear wheel drive trim mower, but I have all the batteries and chargers from the 58v chainsaw, line trimmer and blower. I have no doubt it will be tough built gauging by the other three tools.I was on the fence about the echo stuff. Came down to availability for me on that one. Let us know how it holds up.
Hi, We have a lot of garden tools will be sold in half month later, autumn is coming soon, I think a leaf blower & vac is suitable for you, and if you are interesting, we can give it to you for free.Looking to go electric for my mower and would like to invest in a good battery system for mower, string trimmer, blower, pole saw and chain saw. Any good recommendations?
oh my god,can i have one for free? I want to get a blower for my yard.Hi, We have a lot of garden tools will be sold in half month later, autumn is coming soon, I think a leaf blower & vac is suitable for you, and if you are interesting, we can give it to you for free.
Even Stihl has started putting out electric units.
I realize this is an older thread but thought I'd comment.
About 5 years ago I decided to go cordless. First, I bought the Kobalt 80V trimmer on sale. Part of the sale was that it also came with a mail in rebate for an extra battery.
Then we got the Kobalt 80V mower about 8 months later. Same batteries so that's good.
Lowes/Kobalt has had a redesign on the mower since I bought in.
If I'm replying to myself is that the same as talking to myself?
I thought I'd update for people who might be taking the plunge to electric.
1) I do not think I'd ever go Kobalt again. While the mower and trimmer have performed well, it's impossible to I bought the Kobalt 80V trimmer. I asked right then if I could buy a spare cap or three. Crickets. Lowe's said talk tpo Kobalt. Over the next few years from Kobalt I go different answers on almost every call. I was told they didn't have any. Then I was told they needed the model numer...you know...because they make such a wide array of different 80V trimmers. When provided with the model number they couldn't find anything. One day I was told they would need the serial number. Provided. Nope...not anything they could help me with. I was pretty sure they werte made either by Greenworks or the same company that made theirs at the time. I tried Greenworks. No help and they tried to refer me back to Kobalt. During that time I frequently also asked at the customer desk in the lawncare section at Lowes. They have rid themselves of all of the department desks now. They valiantly tried. But boiled down, the answer was try Kobalt.
So, I'm finally giving up on them. I am about to try to remove the head of the Kobalt trimmer and put on a different head. I'm still a big fan of electric. LOVE them. I just wouldn't send any more of my efforts Kobalt's way. Also, if you get a trimmer with a bump head...make sure you can get one or two replacement caps AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. If you can't...walk away and buy a different one.
I have discovered that tv repair shops are able to "fix" batteries as well as battery stores and that to date none of my li-on batteries that stopped working were bad , rather it was this little power management control board inside that winks out with a bad capacitor or other niggling detail. I suppose there may come a time when I get the proper tools to fix batteries or replace the parts the way I have to rebuild carburators and clutches today.When the battery goes, and it will you will wish you could go down and buy a gallon of gas. I just went through the decision process of buying one new 18 volt Dewalt battery for the ridicules price of $109 or buying a Dewalt1.5 amp hr battery and a smaller drill for $99 dollars . When I bought the original drill 5 years ago it cost $100 dollars and came with two batteries. . The 1.5 amp works for what I need it for, which is a drill. It would not power any other tool for very long . Tool companies today are using the same marketing scheme that the inkjet printer companies use. Sell the initial product cheap then gouge you when you need a consumable .Two 8 amp Dewalt batteries are $330 dollars, and that is at todays prices. You can expect that they will be in the neighborhood of $500 when the battery that comes with your new lawn mower need replacement.
