Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide between gas and battery-powered tools for my new property, which is about an acre. I need something that can handle weeding along borders, the driveway, and the fence line. I'm planning to use a blower for the porch, gravel, and the driveway too. I've had mixed advice so far; I'm leaning towards getting a gas weed whacker paired with an electric blower. I've only used gas equipment before and know a bit about the maintenance involved, but I'd love your suggestions on this! Also, if you have any favorite brands, I want to avoid Ryobi since I've heard lots of negative opinions. Thanks for your help!

I've got 5 acres and I use a gas zero-turn mower alongside all electric tools like my trimmer and blower. Honestly, it’s a lot quieter and I never run out of power. I’ve got a bunch of batteries for my Ego system, so I just swap them out as needed. If you want to know more about my setup or have any questions, just let me know!
I totally agree with going electric! I have a similar setup for my 2 acres and it works perfectly. No issues with running out of battery too!
