Yeah, but I already have an 80v batt & charger that I'll only use on rare occasions, when I need the 80v chainsaw.
So, right now, I couldn't see spending an extra $100 for a batt I don't need. If this trimmer will work with a good 10" blade, I won't use it enuff to need 2 batts. it'll just be used to cut the bigger stuff.
Will probably use the 40v units for most of what we do. Now know that they'll take care of anything up to 1 7/8", with one cut.
Real interested in comparing the brush/limb/tree cutting abilities of the Echo & the 80v Kobalt.
Will definitely post my findings here.
