Hey everyone! I'm reaching out because I have an acre of land on a slope here in West Virginia, and I'm currently managing it with just my trusty Toro push mower. I'm a bit overwhelmed with the mowing grind, especially since I'm balancing a busy job and taking care of my two dogs. I'm working on establishing a routine to keep my lawn in shape, tackling it bit by bit. Right now, I'm looking to buy a weed trimmer to help with the edges around my house, garage, and trees. I'm a Lowe's rewards member and they have a sale on some tools. They're offering a Toro brand trimmer with a 60v battery at 50% off, and there's also a Craftsman trimmer and blower combo with a 20v battery for the same price. Given that I have an acre but only need to trim around the house, would a gas trimmer be more effective for my needs? I'm curious about battery options and how long I might need the battery to last since I've never used a trimmer on my property before. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I work with battery tools at my job, and honestly, they’re way easier to handle than gas ones. No more lugging heavy gas cans or fiddling with small engines! I recommend sticking to reputable brands like Milwaukee or DeWalt, especially if you’re already using their products. You can buy a kit that includes the tool, charger, and battery, which is super convenient. Grab an extra battery too so you can switch them out while you're using the trimmer!
I already have a gas mower, so I’m used to it, but I also like my DeWalt tools! I'm thinking about battery options too. Is there a specific voltage I should focus on for the work I need to do?
