If you're carrying your tool in to somewhere remote for a day's work, filthy old two stroke is the easiest, most energy dense power source. As opposed to a truck load of batteries.

- HarryHirsch 8y agoWait, what. This is about the yard crew and their hand tools. Everyone has electric at home, and the power cord has been invented.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoYard crews can also carry batteries and chargers for hand tools. I know because I’ve helped setup a trailer charging system, powered by solar, for a local landscaping contractor. The only tool they use that is fossil powered is a propane riding mower (which is clean burning). I am working on building them an electric riding mower with reclaimed Tesla modules from an S.
- abraae 8y agoThat's great! I'm thinking more of people hiking in to build e.g. remote huts.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoI agree this edge case might require less efficient two stroke systems, but is a rare edge case. In the first world, two stroke is obsolete in every form.
- abraae 8y agoChainsaws used in forestry is one use case that is still common in many countries, first world or not. But your point is valid.
- jonstewart 8y agoI live in DC and am unaware of anyone here needing to pack gas-powered tools in order to build huts in the wilderness.
- sfopdxnonstop 8y agoYou're worried for all those people backpacking into remote wilderness to blow leaves. Gotcha.
- abraae 8y agoSee parent comment, which references scooters and outboard motors
- jdietrich 8y ago4-stroke leaf blowers are readily available.
