    I haven't went as far as a cordless mower but I now have a Dewalt pole saw and hedge cutter combo along with a Dewalt cordless chainsaw. I bought them mostly to help keep the trails cleaned up. I don't use them for hours and hours but there great to throw on the back of the atv when the trails need a little clean up work.

    Totally agree, the power technology in these tools have finally reached acceptable levels. Yes, they are "pricey" but reliability, convenience, and results are there and I'm willing to pay for that.

    Yes the tools are getting better. I didn't get the 60 volt chainsaw didn't want the extra weight. Its just so easy to grab the chainsaw and take off on the atv. A fully charged battery makes a lot of limb cuts. I also have a Dewalt grease gun. It heavy but it only takes a few seconds to grease the tractor to implements. Hit the button and move on.

    A power grease gun?!?! That is hilarious! I have not quite yet reached that level of sloth although I am trying. I commend you for making the final push to the promised land! (My grease gun is still the old hand-pump job.)

    I bought it because using a regular grease gun can be a pain in the a**. I have found many times that I need to hold the grease gun hose onto the fitting becasue the fitting leaks at the connection. Then try to pump the handle with one hand can be a challenge. So with the Dewalt grease gun you can hold the hose on the fitting with one hand and use your other hand to hold the gun and squeeze the trigger. The Dewalt is heavy but it even comes with a carry strap which I don't use.Click image for larger version.

    We use that exact model at work all the time. Some of our motors take 1-2 entire tubes of grease to fully grease the lower bearings.

Also, the older I get, the less yanking on a starter rope appeals to me.
    I hope for Ford's sake the new F-150 "Lightning" electric 4WD wonder truck's batteries last longer than 3 years. If a lawnmower's battery costs $350.00 I can't imagine what that Ford's battery/batteries cost. I have a Home depot Rigid power tool set and the replacement batteries were advertised as being free for life. Yeah, Right. I got the run around from them for months and months before they told me they "discontinued" that warranty, how nice and convenient for them. They said I should contact Rigid about the batteries. In other words...go F**K yourself.
