Me too...I like battery powered lawn tools for the smaller "sissy" type jobs...but need real gas-powered ones for real work. A really good battery only lasts an hour and costs about $350...and is still less powerful. For a hard, 12hr day of work, one would need a few thousand dollars worth of batteries...unless a charger was readily available. Even then, at least a $1000+ in batteries.
IMHO, I have the top of the line (STIHL) in both battery and gas so can make a pretty good comparison.
I like the battery tools, but they are not good for every job and they are not nearly as affordable or flexible as the gasoline ones. What I would not like is being forced to buy them. Especially if poor. They are just expensive toys in comparison (that I can easily afford) for me. That was not always the case.
