I can see it now. Some dude sitting around drinking coffee waiting for his gear to charge plugged into a gas powered generator.

Modern battery technology is way better than it used to be. Today, you can use the same battery you use to power your cordless drill to power radios, vacuum cleaners, circular saws/table saws, chainsaws, trimmers, and even lawnmowers. DeWalt's 20V MAX system in particular is pretty neat.

These guys have a job that requires professional tools. They are not piddling around in the yard for a few hours on Saturday morning.

My contractors are already using these today and rave about them.

Also, the batteries are swappable. They’ll charge spares wherever they can, often on site where they can find an outlet.

I hope they get to charge by hour, not by job.

And by doing fewer jobs per hour, everyone pays more.
