I rebuilt my house from the ground up, from the foundation to the studs to the drywall, by myself, it was the cheapest on the market for a reason. So don’t worry, the callouses are plenty.
You’ll do fine with an electric leaf-blower. If you have a landscaping business or maybe 20 acres, I’d say you’re in a pickle and frustration is definitely justified.
The batteries can be a pain and a lot of the cheap ones die quick, buy a few extra quality batteries and remember to charge them. With the cost of gas alone you’ll end up saving money in the long-run if you’re out there as often as you suggest. I built a solar generator that powers my garage which is where I charge my batteries, so it litterally cost me nothing but the initial investment. I have a quarter acre and do my neighbors half acre, 2 batteries ~$30 a piece let’s me weedwack and blow. My mower goes through 2 and I have an extra one just encase I need it.
Having to replace everything you have definetly sucks, I feel like they should just stop selling them and let the ones out there go until they die instead o prematurely going in a landfill.
…what electric tool batteries do you have that are $30 apiece? 🤨 I’m terribly curious. Because I’ve paid $350 for currently top of the line Milwaukee M18 Forge 12.0 batteries. Each.
Ooo that might’ve been misleading. I bought them as the local hardware store was shutting down about a year ago. I helped the owner out with website stuff so I got a percentage off plus the out of business sale. I think they were ~$80 originally. Nothing fancy.

Slightly misleading, but I’m not going to begrudge you for getting a hell of a deal. 🙂
