I finally bit the bullet today at Sydney Tools Tradie day.

Bought the Ego LB7654E blower, supposedly the most powerful hand held blower on the planet, including petrol or battery. It cost $789, but today only had $100 store credit that can be used after today to buy more tools.

It came with two 5ah batteries worth $331.50 each = $663

Turbo charger worth $189 each Making a total of $752 so the blower effectively only cost me $37 Considering the $100 Store credit they paid me to take the blower away.

Also if you buy any commercial EGO tools after tomorrow they come with a free 5ah battery worth $331.50.

So let's buy a $500 tool, get $100 off making it $400, and you get a $331.50 battery. Making the tool almost free.

Thinking of grabbing the commercial Line trimmer next week with my $100 store credit and claim my free 5ah battery. So then I will have three 5ah batteries and a commercial blower and line trimmer to get me started on my battery powered tool adventure.

I suppose it beats giving the money to the tax man.

EGO STX4500 56V POWER+ Cordless Brushless 450mm Commercial Line Trimmer
I have the 765 Blower, Power Inverter and the Fan, but no other tools.

I would have no issue buying the line trimmers and hedgers, but I don't like the way they orientated the battery on the chainsaws, don't know what they were thinking with that one as it makes it very unbalanced.
