Found another Makita tool to add to the Makita Stable at Sprintys

They have a battery Whipper Snipper (Line Trimmer) for $300.
A bit expensive, even for Makita but ........ (drum roll please) ....... it comes WITH a 4AH battery AND a charger.
The charger sells separately for $180, the battery for $130.

Makita do these deals occasionally.
It appeals to me as I often have all 3 batteries of mine in use and I have only 1 charger.
I have 2 X 2 AH batteries and 1 X 4 AH battery.

My current whipper snipper is a 12 year old ryobi. 240V, awful to use, it has never fed the line out by tapping it.

I have an 80VDC Kobalt weedeater from Lowe's. I can weed eat my 1 acre lot on one charge. The battery recharges while I mow with the lawn tractor. I then replace the weedeater attachment with the blower attachment and blow the debris off of the driveway, sidewalks, and patios.

80V !!!!!!
I have never even heard of that before. Amazing.
Do 1 acre on one charge, that is huge.
