    EGO 56V battery operated weed eater I spent more time pulling the rope on my echo than I did actually using it. Now I just pull the trigger and go.

    I have one of those. Have to recharge it between front and back but it does work well.

    These guys are pretty good, as good as I've found.

    What do you and @body slam think as as far as usability for a smaller person? I was thinking of getting one of those for the mom, and maybe a little chainsaw too, because she just can't handle starting a gas pull-cord at 70 YO, but she can run the hell out of it once it's started.

    Great call. They now have a sprayable Gold Bond, so you don't have to find a bathroom and wash your hands after you powder your junk.

    Not sure I've ever used that one, I just keep the More Spice on hand and then add stuff to it. What's the deal with this version?

    mine is usually good for about 15 minutes with a full charge
    I don't think it is any heavier than my echo. It does seem better balanced . Home Depot sells them. Best I can says is take her there and let her make her own decision. They carry several different brands with different prices. I chose EGO because it seemed better built.

    It's a bit on the heavy side but if she can manage a gas one at 70, she can handle this one.

    I love my EGO power tools. Lawn mower, string trimmer, and blower all works flawlessly for the 2 years I've had them. I don't expect it to live as long as a gas engine tool, but so much easier to use, more convenient, and less maintenance.

    Weight is easy to manage. The tools themselves are fairly light. The battery size makes all the difference. They have small, medium, and large batteries. Small batteries are good enough for one tool. The medium/large are better for multiple tools or the wheeled tools (mower/snowblower). The small batteries are much easier to use on the handheld tools. The extra pound or two are noticeable.

    as far as yard tools go, I'm a big fan of the Stihl Kombi tools, although it uses a gasoline powerhead. Probably use the pole saw, blade cutter, and hedge trimmer the most, the grass whip is pretty good too but I'd rather have a dedicated weed whacker.
