I just weighed my Stihl MS150C at 7 pounds 9 ounces full of gas and oil. I'd be interested if your electric is lighter. I suppose Lithium batteries are better than what I used in my old weed wacker, but that gas saw has been running way longer than that electric weed wacker ever did.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
