| + | * Here are a handful of the millions of wonderful tools: Pressure water sprayer, sand blaster, paint sprayer, weed eater, chainsaw, lawn edger, lawn mower, lawn tractor, leaf blower, air compressor for air tools, power generator, dirt augger drill, brush wood chipper, chop saw. | ||

| + | **Gasoline VS Electric** \\ | ||
| + | . | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Many gasoline combustion devices are dangerously loud and produce stinky smoke, and require careful maintenance and fuel mixtures. Not to mention bulky and heavy. Gasoline engines need to be cleaned, are greasy, and shouldn't be operated by children. Gasoline devices often produce a wonderfully huge amount of power. | ||
| + | |||
| + | . | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Many electric or battery operated home devices are pathetically low in power and can only be run about an hour between lengthy charging. They are often light weight, have no bad smells, no repairs needed. Often are not possible to repair, except by an expensive electronics repair shop. Electric devices can be stored decades with no problems other than buying a new battery. With an electric device, you won't as likely be exposed to chemicals or need to wash your hands or clothes afterword. Batteries are expensive and must be stored charged. Extension cords can be tripped on and get tangled and time consuming to search for or store. Electric devices with the power and usage time of a gasoline device, require a bulky and expensive battery to be towed behind on a cart, so most people don't own a thousand dollar battery. | ||

| * Your device has a user manual showing basic usage and slight troubleshooting, but a "Service Manual" shows where every wire belongs and how to repair common issues. Service Manuals are often third-party. | * Your device has a user manual showing basic usage and slight troubleshooting, but a "Service Manual" shows where every wire belongs and how to repair common issues.
