I’m pretty sure it’s the same reason why you can’t buy a high torque impact wrench from Porter Cable, Ryobi, or Ridgid. Those specialty tools are only going to be offered on the high dollar platforms.

Anon with his car battery powered lawn mower gave me so much inspiration. You could get a couple jumper packs and good inverter and build a backpack, run a short extension cord out of that bitch and you have one power pack for all of the corded tools.

I keep dreaming of spot welding hundreds of 18650s together to make a giant fire hazard.

Anon above turned his 120v cheap shit lawnmower into a battery powered model with a car battery and inverter. I imagine the same could be done in a backpack and you could easily mobilize those cheap Sun Joe or HF Portland tools. The $35 hedge trimmer is actually good and the pole saw and chainsaw both have very good reviews too. And I think the biggest upside is that the tools are super light and a battery backpack would make it much more comfortable using the pole saw above your head.

Oh, just thought of another thing, pic related with the power banks instead of the lead acid battery. That inverter is too small, but that little jumper pack is 66Wh and like the size of a big smartphone. Parallel up 3 or 4 of those, 1000W inverter, and then run a ~3ft extension cord off the backpack and you could swap between the chainsaw and pole saw and hedge trimmer so fast.
