    I gave up on 2 cycle weed whackers years ago, went battery powered and never looked back.

    I use only TruFuel gasoline in my snow blower though.

    "Planning" to do the same. I have one of those Swiss army knife ("Expand-It") Ryobis with a few attachments, for which I swapped a brand new electric one to my son-in-law. The old attachments fit the new battery-powered units and vice versa. I get tired enough of cajoling the 2-stroke to start that I will eventually get a battery powered one, too and be done with it.
    They are somewhat expensive, though (talking about inflation) ;)

    actually, it's 30 bucks off at the moment. hmm...

    A few years I did a major upgrade on my cordless tools and it all started right here on the Polk forum, My craftsman 19.2v cordless tools weren't cutting it anymore so I bought some kobalt 24v tools and batteries from a polk member (forget who) from the polk classifieds. This morning I added some more to the ever growing 24v collection and brought home a 2nd 24v jobsite radio. Best part is both radios were free with a 2 battery purchase. I now have tws (true wireless stereo) which is quite an upgrade over the single mono unit.

    Went to corded, electric chain saws awhile back to cut small to medium stuff. One was from Aldi and works like a charm. Also, believe it or not never cut the power cord....yet LOL.

    As for the TruFuel, the price here has been $20 a gallon and has not increased or decreased in 4 yrs.

    you should jump on a few containers at that price
    I guess it finally went up.

    I may have been out of line there earlier.

    I was applying stereotypical slasher film tropes to the chainsaw massacre genre. Although one could argue that there is a fair amount of crossover between the two, do some aspects purely reside in one world and not the other? And how do virtual assistant technologies impact these dynamics when they are drawn into this groundbreaking science fiction realm?

    And why didn't Mr. Ziffel ever ask Oliver Wendall Douglas to drive Arnold the pig to archery practice at the Hooterville bowling alley and sheep-shearing pavilion?
