I like Tim Roth. There have been very few times in the past that I would have recast him. As much Marvel fateugue that exists right now. And I get it. She Hulk is good. Am enjoying. Will watch more.

Rented a ufcking lawn mower. Cut the grass. No more neighborhood kids around to do it for $20. Can't find anyone reliable online. Companies want $60+ a week.

ufck grass.

This is gonna be borderline blasphemous but I bought an Ego kit with a mower a string trimmer and a blower. I will never go back to gas for small motors. I hated cleaning the carb and tank out every year to get the water that built up in it over the winter. The last time I did it it took me about 4 rounds of cleaning and running to get it to go and than the very next weekend the pull string broke. I swear I flung that mower so far I though mower tossing could be a new event in the Redneck games!

No blasphemy here! Milwaukee makes a dual battery M18 mower. As soon as I pay off the home depot card, that's where I'm going. It's a lot more expensive than most of the other electric mowers, but I really don't want a new battery platform and the big ass batteries it comes with will be awesome in some of my other tools. At that point I'll probably get the weed whacker / pole saw kit too.

I completely agree. I hate the maintenance of small gas motors. Keeping multiple fuels because some stuff is 2 stroke. ufck that noise.

I can get behind the electric small stuff. I used to do snow removal for my condo. First year, had like 7" of snow come down, go to pull out the giant blower that they had in the shed. Spent like 1/2hr digging out enough snow to get to the shed, find the thing had been sitting around for a few years and hadn't been run, was full of old gas. After fighting with it for about 45 minutes to get it started (at like -15F), I said screw it, went to home depot, and bought a tiny electric blower. While it might be smaller, it is also light enough that I can do the snow in layers, so it doesn't ever really get too deep for it to work, I just have to do more passes. And it always starts, with pretty much no maintenance required.

I need a string trimmer too, been looking at the Milwakees, but don't currently have enough need to justify the expense right now. And I went with a full Ridgid tool set before the Milwakees came out because it was a super-good deal (and has lifetime warranty on the batteries)... which I kinda regret now as it would be nice to be on single battery for everything, even if the individual parts do cost more (but should make up for it in not having to buy 15 bazillion different batteries).

Standard vendor would be nice, if my current vendor would make the tools I need.

Apparently ridgid is rebranded aeg stuff, and aeg does make a trimmer. Just cant buy them in North America... And nobody knows why they haven't brought them over here.

RIGID is made by TTI, the same as Milwaukee, Ryobi and HART.

I'm all Milwaukee now. And intend to stay that way.

Weedeater, chainsaw and most all my power tools. I wish now I had gotten the M18 sliding compound miter saw but for now my wood working tools are corded.

When I ran my business in VA we were all in on Rigid just for the battery warranty. But now as someone who doesn't burn 5 batteries every day, Milwaukee is where it's at.
