  summer.
• 1:32
  But
• 1:33
  today
• 1:33
  I
• 1:33
  wanted
• 1:33
  to
• 1:33
  talk
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  little
• 1:34
  bit
• 1:34
  about
• 1:35
  outdoor
• 1:35
  power
• 1:36
  equipment.
• 1:36
  I've
• 1:36
  had
• 1:36
  a
• 1:37
  lot
• 1:37
  of
• 1:37
  questions
• 1:37
  come
• 1:37
  in
• 1:38
  about
• 1:39
  how
• 1:39
  is
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  battery
• 1:40
  stuff
• 1:41
  versus
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  gas
• 1:41
  stuff
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  I
• 1:43
  wanted
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  give
• 1:43
  you
• 1:43
  my
• 1:43
  answer
• 1:44
  on
• 1:44
  this.
• 1:45
  And
• 1:45
  some
• 1:45
  of
• 1:46
  you
• 1:46
  might
• 1:46
  be
• 1:46
  shocked,
• 1:47
  some
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  you
• 1:47
  might
• 1:47
  get
• 1:48
  frustrated,
• 1:48
  but
• 1:48
  this
• 1:49
  is
• 1:49
  my
• 1:49
  take
• 1:50
  and
• 1:50
  my
• 1:51
  experience
• 1:52
  of
• 1:52
  using
• 1:53
  it.
• 1:54
  So
• 1:54
  outdoor
• 1:55
  power
• 1:55
  equipment,
• 1:55
  we're
• 1:55
  talking
• 1:56
  lawnmowers,
• 1:57
  weed
• 1:57
  eaters
• 1:58
  and
• 1:58
  weed
• 1:58
  eater,
• 1:58
  yes,
• 1:58
  is
• 1:59
  a
• 1:59
  brand.
• 1:59
  So
• 1:59
  string
• 2:00
  trimmers,
• 2:01
  chainsaws,
• 2:02
  all
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  different
• 2:03
  things,
• 2:03
  lawnmowers,
• 2:05
  whether
• 2:05
  it's
• 2:05
  a
• 2:05
  writing
• 2:05
  or
• 2:06
  a
• 2:06
  push.
• 2:07
  Battery
• 2:08
  power
• 2:08
  has
• 2:08
  come
• 2:09
  a
• 2:09
  long
• 2:09
  ways
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  I
• 2:12
  switched
• 2:12
  over
• 2:13
  to
• 2:14
  non
• 2:14
  gas
• 2:15
  probably
• 2:16
  five
• 2:17
  years
• 2:17
  ago
• 2:18
  before
• 2:19
  COVID
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  I
• 2:20
  went
• 2:21
  completely
• 2:21
  battery
• 2:22
  power.
• 2:23
  And
• 2:23
  at
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  time
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  was
• 2:24
  using
• 2:25
  Greenworks
• 2:26
  tools,
• 2:26
  which
• 2:27
  there
• 2:27
  are
• 2:27
  a
• 2:27
  lot
• 2:27
  of
• 2:27
  great
• 2:28
  brands
• 2:28
  out
• 2:28
  there.
• 2:28
  I
• 2:29
  think
• 2:29
  there's
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  lot
• 2:29
  of
• 2:29
  companies.
• 2:30
  Greenworks
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  really
• 2:31
  good
• 2:31
  early
• 2:31
  on
• 2:33
  and
• 2:33
  was
• 2:33
  definitely
• 2:34
  an
• 2:34
  early,
• 2:35
  an
• 2:35
  early
• 2:36
  leader
• 2:37
  in
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  brands
• 2:38
  out
• 2:39
  there
• 2:39
  going
• 2:39
  full
• 2:39
  battery
• 2:40
  power.
• 2:41
  And
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  tell
• 2:42
  you
• 2:43
  what,
• 2:43
  there's
• 2:44
  been
• 2:44
  some
• 2:44
  impressive
• 2:45
  stuff
• 2:45
  out
• 2:45
  there
• 2:46
  if
• 2:47
  you
• 2:47
  look
• 2:47
  at
• 2:47
  lawnmowers.
• 2:48
  Great
• 2:49
  example.
• 2:49
  If
• 2:50
  you're
• 2:50
  going
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  be
• 2:50
  mowing
• 2:50
  the
• 2:51
  lawn
• 2:51
  out
• 2:51
  there,
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  me
• 2:52
  there
• 2:53
  is
• 2:53
  no
• 2:53
  reason
• 2:54
  to
• 2:55
  be
• 2:55
  using
• 2:55
  gasoline
• 2:56
  anymore
• 2:57
  just
• 2:57
  on
• 2:58
  convenience.
• 2:59
  I
• 2:59
  have
• 2:59
  no
• 3:00
  environmental
• 3:01
  flag
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  wave
• 3:01
  here.
• 3:03
  This
• 3:03
  is
• 3:03
  about
• 3:03
  what
• 3:04
  I
• 3:04
  like
• 3:04
  to
• 3:04
  use
• 3:06
  and
• 3:06
  what
• 3:06
  works
• 3:07
  for
• 3:07
  my
• 3:08
  lawn
• 3:08
  and
• 3:09
  other
• 3:09
  lawns
• 3:09
  that
• 3:09
  I've
• 3:10
  worked
• 3:10
  with.
• 3:11
  So
• 3:11
  here's
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  benefits.
• 3:13
  With
• 3:13
  a
• 3:14
  battery
• 3:14
  powered
• 3:14
  mower
• 3:16
  I
• 3:16
  can
• 3:16
  go
• 3:16
  out,
• 3:17
  I
• 3:17
  can
• 3:17
  use
• 3:18
  so
• 3:18
  much
• 3:18
  less
• 3:19
  space
• 3:19
  in
• 3:19
  my
• 3:20
  shed
• 3:20
  or
• 3:20
  garage
• 3:21
  for
• 3:21
  the
• 3:21
  lawnmower
• 3:21
  because
• 3:22
  it
• 3:22
  folds
• 3:22
  up
• 3:22
  and
• 3:22
  goes
• 3:23
  on
• 3:23
  end.
• 3:24
  So
• 3:24
  I
• 3:25
  have
• 3:25
  a
• 3:25
  lot
• 3:25
  more
• 3:25
  space
• 3:26
  in
• 3:26
  there.
• 3:27
  I
• 3:28
  can
• 3:28
  drop
• 3:28
  in
• 3:28
  on
• 3:28
  the
• 3:29
  Greenworks
• 3:29
  mower
• 3:30
  that
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  have,
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  can
• 3:31
  drop
• 3:31
  in
• 3:32
  a
• 3:33
  couple
• 3:33
  batteries
• 3:34
  and
• 3:34
  mow
• 3:34
  for
• 3:35
  months.
• 3:36
  On
• 3:36
  my
• 3:36
  smaller
• 3:37
  yard
• 3:38
  I
• 3:38
  can
• 3:38
  do
• 3:38
  4
• 3:39
  mowings,
• 3:39
  5
• 3:40
  mowings
• 3:40
  easily
• 3:42
  off
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  one
• 3:43
  battery.
• 3:44
  You
• 3:44
  can
• 3:44
  sit
• 3:45
  there
• 3:45
  with
• 3:45
  their
• 3:45
  right
• 3:46
  on
• 3:46
  mowers
• 3:47
  like
• 3:47
  there's
• 3:47
  zero
• 3:47
  turn.
• 3:48
  You
• 3:49
  can
• 3:49
  turn
• 3:49
  around
• 3:50
  and
• 3:50
  get
• 3:50
  three
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  a
• 3:51
  half
• 3:51
  acres
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  lawn
• 3:52
  mowed
• 3:53
  without
• 3:53
  changing
• 3:54
  batteries.
• 3:55
  Pretty
• 3:55
  impressive.
• 3:56
  If
• 3:57
  you
• 3:57
  have
• 3:57
  more
• 3:57
  batteries,
• 3:58
  you
• 3:58
  can
• 3:58
  pretty
• 3:58
  much
• 3:58
  run
• 3:59
  that
• 3:59
  thing
• 3:59
  as
• 3:59
  long
• 4:00
  as
• 4:00
  you
• 4:00
  want
• 4:00
  to.
• 4:01
  I
• 4:01
  just
• 4:02
  was
• 4:02
  driving
• 4:02
  around
• 4:03
  this
• 4:03
  morning
• 4:03
  running
• 4:04
  a
• 4:04
  couple
• 4:04
  errands
• 4:05
  and
• 4:05
  I
• 4:06
  drive
• 4:06
  past
• 4:07
  one
• 4:07
  of
• 4:07
  our
• 4:07
  big
• 4:08
  parks
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  it's
• 4:09
  a
• 4:09
  greenway
• 4:10
  access
• 4:10
  there.
• 4:11
  So
• 4:11
  it's
• 4:11
  a
• 4:11
  private
• 4:12
  company
• 4:12
  doing
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  lawn
• 4:13
  care
• 4:13
  there.
• 4:14
  Battery
• 4:15
  powered
• 4:16
  everything
• 4:17
  they
• 4:17
  had
• 4:18
  right
• 4:18
  on
• 4:19
  mowers.
• 4:19
  Commercial
• 4:20
  company.
• 4:21
  And
• 4:21
  I
• 4:21
  could
• 4:22
  see
• 4:22
  that
• 4:22
  they
• 4:22
  had
• 4:22
  a
• 4:23
  charging
• 4:23
  system
• 4:23
  set
• 4:24
  up
• 4:24
  so
• 4:24
  when
• 4:24
  they're
• 4:25
  driving
• 4:25
  around
• 4:26
  they're
• 4:26
  charging
• 4:27
  up
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  batteries,
• 4:28
  they're
• 4:29
  good
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  go.
• 4:30
  So
• 4:30
  really
• 4:31
  when
• 4:31
  you
• 4:31
  look
• 4:31
  at
• 4:31
  it,
• 4:32
  there
• 4:32
  is
• 4:33
  no
• 4:33
  excuse
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  not
• 4:34
  change
• 4:34
  over
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  that.
• 4:36
  For
• 4:36
  me
• 4:36
  it's
• 4:37
  awesome.
• 4:37
  I
• 4:37
  don't
• 4:37
  have
• 4:37
  to
• 4:38
  store
• 4:38
  gasoline.
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  don't
• 4:40
  have
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  worry
• 4:40
  about
• 4:40
  how
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  store
• 4:41
  it
• 4:41
  over
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  winter.
• 4:42
  As
• 4:42
  long
• 4:42
  as
• 4:42
  I
• 4:42
  keep
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  blade
• 4:43
  sharp
• 4:44
  and
• 4:44
  it
• 4:44
  cleaned
• 4:44
  up.
• 4:45
  It's
• 4:45
  that
• 4:46
  easy.
• 4:47
  Now
• 4:47
  string
• 4:48
  trimmers
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  even
• 4:49
  like
• 4:49
  more
• 4:51
  because
• 4:51
  the
• 4:52
  battery
• 4:52
  tends
• 4:52
  to.
• 4:53
  If
• 4:53
  it's
• 4:53
  done
• 4:53
  correctly,
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  battery
• 4:55
  will
• 4:56
  counteract
• 4:56
  the
• 4:57
  other
• 4:57
  side
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  the
• 4:58
  head
• 4:58
  on
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  and
• 4:59
  is
• 4:59
  nice
• 5:00
  balanced.
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  don't
• 5:01
  have
• 5:01
  to
• 5:01
  worry
• 5:02
  about
• 5:02
  mixing
• 5:03
  oil
• 5:03
  and
• 5:03
  gas
• 5:04
  for
• 5:04
  two
• 5:05
  cycle.
• 5:06
  Not
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  problem.
• 5:07
  And
• 5:08
  it
• 5:08
  starts
• 5:08
  when
• 5:08
  I
• 5:08
  pull
• 5:08
  the
• 5:09
  trigger.
• 5:09
  It's
• 5:09
  like
• 5:09
  your
• 5:09
  drill.
• 5:10
  It's
• 5:11
  like
• 5:11
  your
• 5:11
  battery
• 5:12
  powered
• 5:12
  circular
• 5:12
  saw.
• 5:13
  It
• 5:13
  just
• 5:13
  goes
• 5:14
  very
• 5:14
  simple.
• 5:16
  Same
• 5:16
  thing
• 5:16
  with
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  chainsaws.
• 5:17
  Now
• 5:17
  I.
• 5:17
  There
• 5:17
  is.
• 5:17
  I'm
• 5:18
  on
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  fence
• 5:19
  with
• 5:19
  the
• 5:19
  chainsaws.
• 5:20
  For
• 5:21
  most
• 5:21
  homeowners.
• 5:22
  No
• 5:22
  reason
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  have
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  gas
• 5:23
  powered
• 5:24
  if
• 5:25
  you're
• 5:25
  a
• 5:25
  logger.
• 5:26
  I
• 5:26
  get
• 5:26
  it.
• 5:27
  I
• 5:28
  do.
• 5:29
  Because
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  gas
• 5:31
  powered
• 5:31
  units
• 5:32
  work
• 5:32
  very
• 5:33
  well
• 5:34
  and
• 5:34
  you
• 5:34
  don't
• 5:35
  have
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  worry
• 5:35
  about
• 5:36
  changing
• 5:36
  out
• 5:36
  batteries
• 5:37
  if
• 5:37
  you're
• 5:38
  felling
• 5:39
  trees
• 5:39
  all
• 5:39
  day
• 5:40
  long.
• 5:41
  I
• 5:41
  see
• 5:41
  it.
• 5:42
  Are
• 5:42
  there
• 5:43
  a
• 5:43
  lot
• 5:43
  of
• 5:43
  tree
• 5:43
  companies
• 5:44
  out
• 5:44
  there
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  have
• 5:45
  for
• 5:45
  safety
• 5:46
  when
• 5:46
  they're
• 5:47
  up
• 5:47
  lemon
• 5:47
  trees,
• 5:47
  do
• 5:48
  they
• 5:48
  have
• 5:48
  battery
• 5:48
  powered
• 5:48
  ones?
• 5:49
  Yeah,
• 5:49
  I'm
• 5:49
  seeing
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  more
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  more
• 5:51
  because
• 5:51
  they
• 5:51
  can
• 5:51
  just
• 5:52
  grab
• 5:52
  and
• 5:52
  go.
• 5:52
  It's
• 5:52
  like
• 5:53
  every
• 5:53
  other
• 5:53
  power
• 5:53
  tool.
• 5:54
  We're
• 5:55
  seeing
• 5:55
  more
• 5:55
  and
• 5:55
  more
• 5:56
  of
• 5:56
  that.
• 5:56
  And
• 5:56
  these
• 5:57
  are
• 5:57
  things
• 5:57
  that
• 5:57
  are
• 5:57
  really
• 5:58
  starting
• 5:58
  to
• 5:58
  pay
• 5:58
  off
• 5:59
  with
• 5:59
  safety
• 5:59
  because
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  don't
• 6:00
  have
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  sit
• 6:00
  there
• 6:00
  and
• 6:00
  start
• 6:00
  it,
• 6:01
  just
• 6:01
  grab
• 6:01
  it
• 6:01
  and
• 6:01
  go.
• 6:02
  And
• 6:03
  if
• 6:03
  you
• 6:03
  have
• 6:03
  another
• 6:03
  battery
• 6:03
  on
• 6:04
  you,
• 6:04
  plenty
• 6:05
  fine.
• 6:06
  So
• 6:06
  here's
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  thing.
• 6:07
  And
• 6:07
  these
• 6:08
  are
• 6:08
  My
• 6:08
  tips,
• 6:09
  if
• 6:09
  you
• 6:10
  have
• 6:10
  a
• 6:10
  decent
• 6:11
  tool
• 6:11
  company
• 6:12
  and
• 6:13
  yeah,
• 6:14
  Ryobi
• 6:14
  is
• 6:15
  decent,
• 6:16
  I'm
• 6:17
  not
• 6:17
  sure
• 6:17
  if
• 6:17
  I'd
• 6:17
  get
• 6:17
  their
• 6:17
  outdoor
• 6:18
  power
• 6:18
  equipment
• 6:19
  if
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  have
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  big
• 6:20
  lawn
• 6:20
  or
• 6:20
  something
• 6:20
  because
• 6:20
  it's
• 6:21
  not
• 6:21
  really
• 6:21
  meant
• 6:21
  for
• 6:21
  that.
• 6:22
  But
• 6:22
  that
• 6:23
  is
• 6:23
  a
• 6:23
  good
• 6:23
  homeowner
• 6:24
  grade
• 6:24
  tool.
• 6:24
  It
• 6:24
  is
• 6:24
  not
• 6:25
  a
• 6:25
  contractor
• 6:25
  grade
• 6:26
  tool.
• 6:27
  But
• 6:27
  if
• 6:27
  you've
• 6:27
  got
• 6:28
  DeWalt,
• 6:28
  Milwaukee,
• 6:30
  Makita,
• 6:30
  any
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  other
• 6:31
  bigger
• 6:31
  brands
• 6:31
  out
• 6:32
  there
• 6:32
  and
• 6:32
  you
• 6:32
  want
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  use
• 6:33
  their
• 6:33
  outdoor
• 6:33
  power
• 6:33
  equipment
• 6:34
  and
• 6:34
  stay
• 6:34
  on
• 6:34
  the
• 6:35
  same
• 6:35
  platform,
• 6:36
  it's
• 6:36
  not
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  bad
• 6:37
  deal.
• 6:37
  DeWalt.
• 6:38
  Yeah.
• 6:38
  Did
• 6:39
  they
• 6:39
  have
• 6:39
  some
• 6:39
  stumbles
• 6:40
  on
• 6:40
  their
• 6:40
  first
• 6:40
  lawnmower?
• 6:41
  You
• 6:41
  are
• 6:41
  darn
• 6:41
  right
• 6:42
  they
• 6:42
  did.
• 6:43
  It
• 6:43
  was
• 6:44
  garbage.
• 6:45
  Is
• 6:45
  it
• 6:45
  good
• 6:46
  now?
• 6:46
  Yeah,
• 6:46
  they
• 6:46
  made
• 6:46
  some
• 6:47
  huge
• 6:47
  changes.
• 6:48
  So
• 6:49
  I
• 6:49
  think
• 6:50
  that's
• 6:50
  where
• 6:50
  things
• 6:51
  have
• 6:51
  gone
• 6:51
  now
• 6:51
  is
• 6:51
  that
• 6:52
  you've
• 6:52
  got
• 6:53
  these
• 6:53
  brands
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  are
• 6:54
  great
• 6:54
  tool
• 6:55
  brands
• 6:55
  that
• 6:56
  have.
• 6:57
  You
• 6:57
  probably
• 6:57
  already
• 6:57
  have
• 6:58
  their
• 6:58
  batteries,
• 6:58
  a
• 6:58
  DIYer
• 6:59
  or
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  contractor.
• 7:00
  If
• 7:01
  you've
• 7:01
  got
• 7:01
  a
• 7:01
  lawnmower
• 7:02
  that
• 7:02
  runs
• 7:02
  off
• 7:02
  that
• 7:02
  or
• 7:02
  a
• 7:02
  string
• 7:03
  trimmer
• 7:03
  or
• 7:03
  a
• 7:04
  leaf
• 7:04
  blower,
• 7:05
  you're
• 7:06
  good
• 7:06
  as
• 7:06
  gold.
• 7:06
  Leaf
• 7:06
  blowers,
• 7:07
  great.
• 7:07
  I'll
• 7:08
  never
• 7:08
  own
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  gas
• 7:09
  leaf
• 7:09
  blower
• 7:09
  ever.
• 7:10
  Battery
• 7:11
  powered
• 7:11
  is
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  way
• 7:12
  to
• 7:12
  go
• 7:12
  with
• 7:12
  that.
• 7:13
  And
• 7:13
  I'm
• 7:13
  not
• 7:14
  gonna
• 7:14
  sit
• 7:14
  here
• 7:14
  and
• 7:14
  debate
• 7:15
  the
• 7:16
  carbon
• 7:16
  footprint.
• 7:17
  And
• 7:17
  I
• 7:17
  know
• 7:18
  batteries
• 7:18
  are
• 7:18
  probably
• 7:19
  worse
• 7:19
  for
• 7:19
  the
• 7:19
  environment
• 7:21
  than
• 7:21
  what
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  gas
• 7:22
  is.
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  don't
• 7:22
  care
• 7:23
  for
• 7:24
  me
• 7:24
  convenience
• 7:25
  and
• 7:26
  to
• 7:26
  be
• 7:26
  able
• 7:26
  to
• 7:26
  grab
• 7:26
  and
• 7:27
  go
• 7:27
  and
• 7:28
  not
• 7:28
  have
• 7:28
  to
• 7:28
  spend
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  fall
• 7:29
  and
• 7:29
  spring
• 7:30
  getting
• 7:30
  stuff
• 7:30
  started.
• 7:31
  Take
• 7:31
  it
• 7:31
  into
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  lawnmower
• 7:32
  repair
• 7:32
  shop
• 7:32
  to
• 7:33
  get
• 7:33
  it
• 7:33
  fixed
• 7:34
  because
• 7:34
  it's
• 7:34
  not
• 7:35
  running
• 7:35
  right.
• 7:36
  It's
• 7:36
  nice
• 7:37
  not
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  have
• 7:37
  to
• 7:37
  mess
• 7:37
  with
• 7:38
  that.
• 7:38
  No
• 7:38
  oil
• 7:38
  changes.
• 7:40
  I
• 7:40
  had
• 7:40
  bar
• 7:40
  oil
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  chainsaw
• 7:42
  and
• 7:42
  I'm
• 7:42
  good
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  go.
• 7:43
  So
• 7:44
  these
• 7:44
  are
• 7:44
  things
• 7:44
  that
• 7:45
  I
• 7:45
  think
• 7:45
  that
• 7:45
  we
• 7:45
  have
• 7:47
  now
• 7:47
  graduated
• 7:48
  onto.
• 7:50
  Battery
• 7:50
  powered
• 7:51
  is
• 7:51
  being
• 7:51
  superior
• 7:53
  now.
• 7:53
  Exceptions.
• 7:54
  You're
• 7:54
  right.
• 7:54
  Logging.
• 7:56
  I'd
• 7:56
  probably
• 7:56
  have
• 7:56
  my
• 7:57
  big
• 7:57
  steel
• 7:57
  and
• 7:57
  I'd
• 7:57
  go
• 7:58
  with
• 7:58
  that.
• 7:59
  If
• 8:00
  I'm
• 8:00
  a
• 8:01
  lawn
• 8:01
  care
• 8:01
  professional,
• 8:01
  I'd
• 8:02
  probably
• 8:02
  look
• 8:02
  at
• 8:02
  batteries.
• 8:04
  Gonna
• 8:04
  save
• 8:04
  me
• 8:04
  some
• 8:04
  money.
• 8:05
  Yeah,
• 8:06
  it's
• 8:06
  more
• 8:06
  expensive
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  get
• 8:07
  in
• 8:07
  sometimes,
• 8:09
  but
• 8:09
  once
• 8:09
  you're
• 8:09
  there,
• 8:09
  it's
• 8:10
  gonna
• 8:10
  start
• 8:10
  saving
• 8:10
  itself
• 8:11
  pretty
• 8:11
  good.
• 8:12
  So
• 8:12
  if
• 8:12
  you
• 8:13
  think
• 8:13
  about
• 8:13
  those
• 8:13
  kind
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  things,
• 8:14
  that's
• 8:15
  where
• 8:16
  I
• 8:16
  think
• 8:16
  battery
• 8:17
  powered
• 8:17
  really
• 8:18
  pays
• 8:18
  off.
• 8:19
  So
• 8:19
  yeah,
• 8:21
  my
• 8:21
  verdict
• 8:22
  on
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  battery
• 8:22
  versus
• 8:23
  gas
• 8:24
  is
• 8:24
  unless
• 8:25
  you're
• 8:25
  a
• 8:25
  professional,
• 8:27
  battery
• 8:28
  to
• 8:28
  me
• 8:28
  wins
• 8:28
  hands
• 8:29
  down
• 8:29
  every
• 8:29
  time.
• 8:29
  Are
• 8:30
  there
• 8:30
  bad
• 8:30
  models
• 8:31
  out
• 8:31
  there?
• 8:31
  Yeah.
• 8:32
  What's
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  secret?
• 8:33
  Getting.
• 8:34
  Go
• 8:34
  out
• 8:34
  and
• 8:34
  get
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  voltage
• 8:36
  that
• 8:36
  works
• 8:36
  for
• 8:36
  you.
• 8:37
  When
• 8:38
  you
• 8:38
  look
• 8:38
  at
• 8:38
  Greenworks,
• 8:39
  for
• 8:39
  instance,
• 8:40
  they've
• 8:40
  got
• 8:41
  a
• 8:41
  24
• 8:42
  volt,
• 8:42
  40
• 8:42
  volt
• 8:43
  60
• 8:43
  volt,
• 8:43
  80
• 8:43
  volt,
• 8:44
  82
• 8:45
  volt.
• 8:46
  That's
• 8:46
  their
• 8:46
  pro
• 8:47
  power
• 8:47
  stuff.
• 8:48
  Yeah.
• 8:48
  If
• 8:49
  you've
• 8:49
  got
• 8:49
  a
• 8:49
  big
• 8:49
  lawn
• 8:49
  and
• 8:50
  you
• 8:50
  go
• 8:50
  out
• 8:50
  and
• 8:50
  buy
• 8:50
  a
• 8:50
  24
• 8:51
  volt
• 8:51
  system,
• 8:52
  guess
• 8:52
  what?
• 8:53
  Probably
• 8:54
  got
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  wrong
• 8:55
  system.
• 8:56
  Do
• 8:56
  I
• 8:56
  have
• 8:56
  a
• 8:57
  60
• 8:57
  volt?
• 8:57
  Yeah.
• 8:57
  60
• 8:58
  volts,
• 8:58
  great.
• 8:59
  80
• 9:00
  volts,
• 9:00
  great.
• 9:01
  So
• 9:02
  get
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  voltage.
• 9:02
  That's
• 9:03
  gonna
• 9:03
  work
• 9:03
  for
• 9:03
  you.
• 9:04
  Now
• 9:04
  if
• 9:05
  you've
• 9:05
  got
• 9:05
  Milwaukee
• 9:06
  or
• 9:07
  any
• 9:07
  one
• 9:07
  of
• 9:07
  those
• 9:07
  other
• 9:08
  ones,
• 9:09
  I
• 9:09
  get
• 9:09
  it.
• 9:10
  You
• 9:11
  know,
• 9:11
  that's
• 9:11
  you're
• 9:12
  using
• 9:12
  your
• 9:12
  tool
• 9:12
  batteries.
• 9:13
  That
• 9:13
  works.
• 9:14
  Might
• 9:14
  take
• 9:14
  two
• 9:15
  tool
• 9:15
  batteries,
• 9:15
  but
• 9:15
  it'll
• 9:16
  work.
• 9:17
  So
• 9:17
  take
• 9:17
  a
• 9:18
  look
• 9:18
  at
• 9:18
  that.
• 9:18
  Think
• 9:18
  about
• 9:19
  what
• 9:19
  works
• 9:19
  for
• 9:19
  you.
• 9:21
  But
• 9:21
  pay
• 9:21
  attention
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  voltage
• 9:23
  because
• 9:24
  that's
• 9:24
  really
• 9:24
  where
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  need
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  be
• 9:26
  to
• 9:27
  make
• 9:27
  sure
• 9:27
  you
• 9:27
  can
• 9:27
  get
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  right
• 9:28
  tool
• 9:29
  for
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  job.
• 9:30
  And
• 9:30
  that
• 9:30
  way
• 9:30
  you're
• 9:31
  going
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  be
• 9:31
  good
• 9:31
  as
• 9:31
  gold.
• 9:32
  So
• 9:32
  take
• 9:32
  a
• 9:32
  look
• 9:32
  at
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  voltage.
• 9:33
  That's
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  key
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  the
• 9:34
  whole
• 9:34
  system.
• 9:35
  That's
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  power
• 9:36
  behind
• 9:36
  it.
• 9:36
  It's
• 9:36
  like
• 9:37
  buying
• 9:37
  a
• 9:37
  little
• 9:37
  tiny
• 9:37
  push
• 9:38
  mower
• 9:38
  or
• 9:38
  buying
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  big
• 9:39
  Honda
• 9:40
  or
• 9:40
  John
• 9:40
  Deere.
• 9:42
  That's
• 9:42
  where
• 9:42
  it
• 9:42
  is.
• 9:43
  And
• 9:43
  yes,
• 9:43
  snowblowers
• 9:44
  wouldn't
• 9:44
  go
• 9:45
  battery
• 9:45
  powered,
• 9:46
  especially
• 9:46
  if
• 9:47
  you're
• 9:47
  into
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  cold.
• 9:48
  Not
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  best
• 9:49
  fit.
• 9:50
  Batteries
• 9:50
  in
• 9:51
  cold
• 9:51
  don't
• 9:51
  work
• 9:52
  well,
• 9:53
  at
• 9:53
  least
• 9:53
  if
• 9:53
  you
• 9:53
  keep
• 9:54
  them
• 9:54
  warm,
• 9:54
  you're
• 9:54
  okay.
• 9:55
  But
• 9:55
  that's
• 9:55
  the
• 9:55
  key
• 9:56
  right
• 9:56
  there.
• 9:56
  All
• 9:57
  right,
• 9:57
  everybody.
• 9:57
  There's
• 9:58
  my
• 9:58
  controversial
• 9:58
  take
• 9:59
  on
• 9:59
  power
• 9:59
  tools
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  outdoor
• 10:01
  power
• 10:01
  equipment.
• 10:02
  I
• 10:03
  think
• 10:03
  that
• 10:04
  it's
• 10:04
  my
• 10:04
  take
• 10:04
  that
• 10:05
  battery
• 10:05
  is
• 10:05
  the
• 10:05
  way
• 10:05
  to
• 10:06
  go.
• 10:06

• 10:06
