Not that long ago, I saw an advert for a battery hedge trimmer where
the battery was carried in a knapsack contraption on the back with
just a short cable to the tool. This may be an option to consider?

The magazine will be in my rather large "Never chuck it out" pile and
I'd be happy to have a hunt if you can wait a day or three.




That sounds interesting, Jake. Yes, I'd be grateful if you could seek
it out, but don't worry if you can't find it. I could try googling if
your magazine has disappeared. Thank you.

Meanwhile, here's one to be going on with:

Note battery is built in so although it's light, you can't have a
charged battery ready to swap out.




Thanks, Jake. That does look light and rather nifty. I'll copy it to
RG for his comments. I was hoping for a two battery option, but it may
not be needed. That's why I need some help. Thanks very much for yours.
