    Why does a vacuum need a remote control
    Kill all the telemarkers
    But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
    Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
    Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

    But upon further reflection, yeah, fuck that noise.

    It would be convenient when the vac is hooked to another tool for dust collection.

    This is your seasonal reminder to move your batteries out of sheds and detached garages and store somewhere warmer. I hosed an almost-new EGO battery by leaving it in the garage over winter, now I have about a 15 minute charge on the leafblower before it dies.

    And another pro tip on shop vac maintenance. Hold my beer and watch this:

    Yup, that’s the main reason that I keep my tiny little workshop at about 58-60 degrees all winter, Ann the ego batteries, bike light batteries, bike batteries, etc.

    Been happy with my Ego mower as a "leaf vacuum" this fall. My yard is too small to justify the high end mower (2150SP), but that tree covers the whole thing and is 60' tall so I used to spend a lot of time raking. Nicely mulched leaves are a bonus for the garden bed too.

    Finally got a true test of our Ego [emoji638] stage snow blower. Got just over a foot of snow in town. Woke up early for a powder day and was able to blow through the [emoji639]-[emoji640] foot tall snow bank from the street plow in no time. Didn’t wake the wife or the neighbors, the electrical whine does carry like a gas engine. Didn’t even use half the battery. Easily as much power as the gas Arien’s it replaced, likely more with how far this thing throws snow. Glad to have finally tested it.

    Honda has new electric mowers coming out this year. Four walk-behinds and a zero-turn. The zero-turn is going to be north of 15k.
