I saw an electric blower, and I thought it was battery powered. It turned out to be a plugin, but I gave it a shot anyways. Even plugged in, I don't think it has the power of a gas blower. This is a Stihl, too. The plug part actually turned out to be fairly doable for my needs, if somewhat inconvenient. I'd rather use a plug than it be even weaker.
Actually yes. And it's quite useful. The biggest advantage of electrical tools is minimal maintenance. Repair on gas engines is a nightmare.
I have a corded electric lawn mower. It works best as a weed whacker against difficult plants, shrubs, trees, etc; because it's more powerful than a gas powered weed whacker, effectively doesn't break no matter how violent the work is, and can handle the damage better than a gas powered lawn mower would ever tolerate.
Also, some battery powered small size chainsaws are actually very useful for hand trimming. I use almost exclusively electric (corded) chainsaws for handling most trees because the maintenance on gas powered engines is just not worth the effort.
The only electric landscaping tool I own and like is a 16" battery-powered chainsaw. Put bluntly, the battery gives out about when I do, it came with two spares, and being able to hear what the tree's doing has now saved me an ER trip twice.
I yeeted the hedger that came with it years ago, and the string trimmer is about to follow it.
Has anyone ever had the displeasure of using an electric landscaping tool? Garbage that can't even complete one job on one charge.

The scam is to buy 3 batteries.

You wouldn't think noise would be an issue, but lower noise volume is a major advantage.
