CONTRACTOR
I wonder if I'll ever get as excited about battery-powered gear as I always have done about internal-combustion engines.
I do find electrically powered units interesting. I love it that my mower, line trimmer and chainsaw sit in the shed all winter, hardly being used, and when I slip in a battery, they start and run as though I'd cared for them lovingly during the cold months. They're quiet, there's no pull starting or frustration with rat-chewed air filters or draining carby bowls...they just work.
