Only arthritis I have is in knees and hands so it doesn't really affect using a rope starter, but yeah pull starting a balky small engine gets old after a while. Battery ones a lot quieter too.Not having as big of a jerk due to arthritis has lessen my needs for power tools fuel.![]()
I do wish that manufacturers could/would standardize on batteries so they're interchangeable between brands (and make new, supposedly improved ones backwards compatible with older tools).
