Time to convert from small engine to battery tools?

[kenmbz]

Just order Milwaukee M18 quick lock with trimmer and pole saw heads (was on sale with bat and charger).
If this works well I will take my Stihl FS110 handlebar and convert it full time to blade and retire my current 20 something year old bushwacker.
Stay tuned. I use the trimmer on hundreds of feet of brush and the pole saw will come in handy taking down the lower Ash dead branches so the don;t fall whenever they feel like it.

All I need to complete my tool set and be rid of my compressor (already got rid of my small engine tools like the chainsaw) is a Milwaukee finish nailer and plainer.

I gather you only use a chainsaw for trimming, cutting up downed branches, etc? Sure wouldn't want to use a battery one to get my firewood in.

Battery finish nailer...yeah, that'd be a good thing to have.

I also Have a Pouln gas chainsaw but never use it.

Has anyone tried a Stihl battery powered Kombi motor powerhead?

If you search, someone on TBN just did a review on this

Thanks, but I believe that review was about the gas powered KM 131R.

I've been so impressed with my cordless Makita weed eater that I'm going to buy their cordless leaf blower. My wife wants it to get leaves and dog hair off of our back porch. Seems like the more cordless stuff that I buy, the more that I want!!!!

I have the Milwaukee M18 quick-lok pole saw and trimmer.
I have only used each head for a few hours, but so far I like it a lot,
The extension has not showed up yet, so don't want give opinion detail until I have the whole kit.

The power of my Milwaukee M18 chainsaw is good. The thin bar and chain suck though, but I've read they work fine with thicker standard bars and chains. Anyway, the battery outlasts me with the chainsaw. On the other hand the cordless blower and string trimmer can wear down the battery pretty fast.

Me too!
I just bought one Sunday and Mrs.tiller handles it like a pro.
The heavy Stihl just might start rusting.
