    I keep amassing corded power tools while they're around. Peope have short memories: spending a grand for a battery powered weed eater, or $1500 for a similar lawn mower, ugh.

    KInd of like the Cuban phenomena, keeping old 1950's cars rolling.

    Has the looney collapsed? My battery electric weed eater is USD$110 on Amazon today, wasn't much more when I bought it.

    I just added a brushcutter attachment to it for another $80.
