Outdoor cordless power tools

Ok misc, time for some boomer chit


I want to buy a cordless powerhead for outdoor chit like hedge trimming, weed whacking, edging, and whatever other chit I can find to do outside.

Im sticking with Makita, as I already own that chit.

What's the difference between 18v and 2x18v in regards to power? Or is it just longer run time?

Links to models im looking at:

18v (single battery)
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XUX02Z

2x18v (2 batteries)
https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XUX01Z



Does having the 2 battery make a difference power wise? Idgaf about having to swap batteries more often if I have to, the batteries charge quick.

Halp

Probably should get the double.

The batteries don't last long

Yeah, whenever I'm buying power tools I like to get the compromise version.
Definitely go for the single battery, you'll never regret it

Depends if the batteries are connected in parallel or series.

Series = 2x volt

Parallel = 2x amp hour

Idk about Makita, but for the Ryobi stuff I got the 40V. Well worth it. Never messing around with pleb gas-powered **** again.

Don't have to worry about engine maintenance, the ****ing noise/fumes, and buying gas anymore.

I'd get the 40 volt unless you already have atleast half a dozen high amp makita batteries in good condition
And if you're getting the 40 volt there's really no sense in sticking with makita
