Recent 4 strokes have been introduced, but lots of 2 strokes are still in use.

See: why the rotary was always bound to fail; it burns oil as part of the combustion process. That's a big no no
2t have long been gone from the lawn industry.

I love the idea of some clean up crews carrying around 200 lithium batteries in their truck to make it through a day of work. Then, every month they just pitch a dozen or so battery packs into the dumpster as they won't hold a charge anymore.

Also chucking your battery tools every 3-4 months for new ones, another great way to conserve the environment. Gas tools have a near infinite service life thanks to repairability. Cordless quckly burnout in an commercial environment and can't be repaired.

At least we'll help give jobs to those child miners in Africa digging up cobalt deposits to make all these battery packs.

Yes, that's literally how you get Cobalt. Just like picking cotton.
