The future is now here, the Stihl new cordless electric saw!

[7sleeper]

Well I found this in a german Stihl folder http://www.kaufda.de/Der-Herbst-kann-kommen-STIHL-Fachhaendler/b-b144125669. Thought it might be interesting for some here. Can't wait to read about kw/kg discussion(Hi Sawtroll!). It is thought as a small garden saw ( I believe in the 170/189 class). It has a 36V lithium batery. The ad also indicates the use indoors since it is free of exhaust. Can't wait to have my wife relocate my sawing time to cleaning saw chip times. Not bad about 840$ for a e-saw. No more carb settings. No mix. Now wait what will become of AS? The main problems here will just disapear.

Enjoy,

For what it is worth me still rep said the saw would be out next year, and that they would be coming out with more tools thAt the battery would interchange with.

I was just at Wally World looking for some hydraulic fluid (which they didn't have) and saw a 18 volt Black and Decker on the shelf. I have not yet developed a desire to own one.

I'm surprised Makita doesn't have one.

That would be right up their alley, so to speak. They already make great cordless tools and they own Dolmar....

Oh, I guess they do...

let me guess,,,thats for trimming toe nails

They need to use the 18v lithium battery at the very least, I just bought their LXT circular saw and I like it, It has enough nut, but doesn't weigh a ton. 12v just doesn't cut it.

I work at Wally world and B&D actually makes a while range of equipment that uses that same 18v battery, but they are a NiCd battery. I know they have a chainsaw, string trimmer, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, pole saw, drill, circular saw, work light and probably some other stuff also. There is also a 24v line as well, but I don't think it has as many products available.

I guess now we'll need battery and electrical motor expertise on this site to service and modify these.

Very expensive boobs on a turtle...around $850...

Do you listen for the three phase instead of the four stroke when tuning it?
