re: Need a new weedeater
Posted by Clames on 4/30/25 at 6:41 pm
If my current residential Stihl Kombi's go then I'm going right back to commercial-grade Kombi. I have an Echo battery weedeater too, it's ok but it doesn't have nearly the power of even my older Kombi and my KM-56RC positively blows it out of the water in terms of peak power.

Not like these countries have done anything to make their grids more reliable and resilient. Solar, wind, and renewables are anything but reliable.

Just something I have to buy a can of Spectracide every Spring for. Hate the bastards, will go out of my way to kill one if I see it hanging around my house.
re: HVAC Capacitor Help
Posted by Clames on 4/28/25 at 9:14 pm
If the compressor and fan motor are originals then go with whatever the manufacturer states on the data plate. If something has changed, like the fan motor, you'll need to match that and the compressor. Amrad or Titan HD capacitors, most decent supply shops will carry a large variety of either but just make sure you get exactly what you need. Oversizing or undersizing a capacitor is going to do nothing but cause more expensive parts to wear out sooner.
re: Best toilet to purchase
Posted by Clames on 4/28/25 at 9:01 pm
Toto or American Standard, sure you can get a toilet for under $100 but there is a definite performance/quality difference when you get into the $300+ range. I installed two American Standard Cadet Pro toilets a few months ago, overall just nicer to work with, better fit of parts, and easier to clean than cheap toilets.

Is the economy being destroyed? I haven't noticed. Is this something you poor LWNJ's think is happening right now?

Wait until people see what it cost to replace those shitty batteries in a couple of years.
If you are getting the Stihl 3000L batteries, they are over $1300.00 each after tax. They need about 3 - 4 hours to charge too, so you definitely need two if you are a commercial user, probably three or four to be safe. You can use other implements with the system but you are basically walking around with a 22lb backpack. For a professional user having to make the change to an electric ecosystem because of such a law it will probably put a lot of one-man operations out of business because it's nearly $10,000 to go all in and you still have to have a covered trailer and probably a generator or get permission from the property owner to run an extension cord or plug in the charging station while you work.

It is really not that bad.
It is but you are clueless.
The leaf debris in that part of country is such that most towns have commercial vac trucks to go around and suck up the leaves that residents push to the curb. Backpack leaf blowers, walk-behind, towed and self-propelled are pretty much all used by commerial and residential users. Electric versions are either not available or completely unable to do the volume of work. A Stihl battery-powered backpack blower has less performance, weighs significantly more, and costs nearly 4x as much as a kit than their top of the line professional gas version. If I owned a yard company and was looking at the thousands of dollars it will take to replace the gas equipment, I would make sure I charged and town-owned properties accordingly to recoup those costs.
re: Propane or charcoal? Or...., Electric?

Pretty much every restaurant has a gas or electric salamander for broiling. I think electric IR would be terribly inefficient unless on a 240V circuit. Also, think I had an old Jenn-aire gas grill with an infrared rotisserie plate about 20 years ago so this isexactly new.
