/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1615409
I grew up on a farm using gas chainsaws & mowers. Got sick of having to mix gas, change spark plugs, clean carbs, etc. for 4 or 5 different tools.

Now I live in a house with a small yard and use an electric lawn mower. It is basically zero maintenance. You sharpen the blade periodically and put a tarp over it in winter, that's it.

If my yard were any bigger, dealing with the extension cord would be too much trouble and I would get a gas mower. But the cord is much easier to deal with than I expected.

Li-ion batteries can be as much trouble as gas.
