Yes, I've also noticed that the new brushless motor tools are often great! And yes, using diesel to power your compressor on a regular (non-emergency) is more than a bit wasteful. I totally get their insistence on staying off-grid, and it is good to read that they seem to be positive towards solar, so we can hope that takes over soon! From the bits I've read about their ethos, it certainly should have the advantage of further reduced dependency on outside systems, in this case, a one-off purchase of solar panels & kit will eliminate ongoing dependence on the entire fossil fuel supply chain.
