Certainly after all you disclosed this is a new wife, right? ....RIGHT?!?!
Yup...same wife. All wives mentally abuse you. Am I right? The marriages that last have hard times. But I don't give up. Stubborn is my middle name.
You are very astute. You have the same memory as my wife. How the hell do you remember this crap! I have 1600 posts in 19 years...and you remember this stuff??
Hats off to you.
That all said...what other wife do you want that is a Lumberjack??

40v 4Ah G-Max battery for $263 includes 1 battery and charger.
Bought another battery for $100. Need to make sure all the batteries are compatible. Green Works have nice reviews...not the greatest but if it is okay and can be used for other tools, I am in. The biggest issue is being able to use the same batteries for multiple tools. I have Ridge for my hand tools. It looks like I will be using Green Works for my larger implements.
Next is this:
Once you get a couple of batteries, the rest of the items run around $200. I saw 40v 4 Ah G-Max batteries going for $200+ on ebay. [Reply]
Again, like my Ridge stuff, I like to have things that run off the same battery. With future tools I want to buy for the property, this seemed like the first step to judge with minimal price concerns. [Reply]

But can be hard to start if the choke is not set right. They can be finicky.
Do I get her a small Stihl, or another brand, with the "easy start" saw or a battery operated one?
I am thinking that battery saw is only for cutting twigs. She wants to cut 2-4" stuff without me starting the thing.
I think she needs something light (she was a trooper today running the 290) that is easy to start yet is powerful.
Review after you she uses it a bit. Oh and get her some power saw chaps those eat right through heavy jeans because the tork. Picture of her in the chaps optional. [Reply]
And you don't like Milwaukee when your basement floods buy a weedeater LOL
