Someone needs to invent petrol saws .

Stihl were demoing a new battery groundsaw at the APF - apparently it’s a total gamechanger/is the next big thing! Size and weight-wise it’s pitched at the Husky 560 market (though I personally thought it felt a lot heavier ‘in the hand’ - I’m not sure how the figures stack up). What a total joke of a machine - it was crap when compared to anything with an engine (which is how they were pitching it)!!! I felt embarrassed for the lads doing the demo in honesty.
There are obviously certain applications where battery kit is advantageous (we own quite a bit of battery gear now) but you cannot get close to replacing the power and convenience of an engine and combi-can however much you try to green-wash your customers.

Agree. Current cordless technology hasn't plateau'd yet, so expect quite expensive kit to be old tech very quickly. I certainly wouldn't be investing thousands in current cordless stuff, knowing in a few months or a year or so better, more advanced battery tech will be available. When cordless tech gets to a point the next big jump is ten years in future development, then thats probably the time to invest if thats the way you want to go. Your kit will stay more relevant for longer. But in that time, biofuels would have developed sufficiently, to be cheaper and more viable as an option as it will run in all existing and future engines and there is no emissions

Thanks. I had checked all the contacts but will give them another look. 

How did you get on?
