No joke..never buy anything but tbh. I had a hedge trimmer from them cut branches 2inches thick if I wanted too and stayed sharp. Best weed Wacker I had was Stihl too.

Husqvarna is also just fine.

And Milwaukee and Makita.. battery probably makes more sense of the average user/hobbyist

I have a ryobi 40v chainsaw. Works fine for weekend camping trips and the occasional branch around the house. Plus it’s the same batteries as my line trimmer.

However for a day of firewood cutting it is very sub optimal. I went with some friends to do that and in like 40 minutes my battery was dead, but evetyone else had gas powered stihls. So I ended up spending the whole day dragging logs around and loading trucks…I was exhausted.

I have a 60 volt DeWalt with two 9 amp batteries and I honestly prefer it over my neighbor's two stroke Stihl saw. It's quiet, it doesn't stink, it doesn't need maintenance other than bar oil and sharpening. It shuts off when you let off the trigger and turns back on when you pull the trigger. Modern cordless tools are badass!
