  I haven't used the Makita leaf blower but all their other battery tools are amazing and 100% worth switching to from 2 stroke. I've used their trimmer with a brush cutter head for clearing land and it's powerful, quiet, and if you need to go for longer than 45+ minutes of clearing brush you can always get more batteries, which charge fairly quickly. (Used their circular saw, drills, and angle grinder and chainsaw too all of which use the same batteries.) The thing is, for home owners this stuff is amazing. For lawn care companies that need it to work for 10 hours, it might be a lot of battery to invest in. I'd be interested to see how the economics shake out though. This is one of the game changers a Tesla truck would bring. Much easier for lawn co's to switch to all electric if the truck is electric.
