What would you recommend that we should buy?

One of these....especially for those of us who need help reaching stuff off the floor. I have two...carry one with me on my walker

I have 2 of these.... I don't have a disability but these are just so useful for reaching for things... I have one up here in the office room for general use upstairs... and one in the kitchen

You can also buy those which fold.. in half for easier storage...

Thanks for the reply.

For a cordless string trimmer the Milwaukee is on par with any gas one I've used. With the right brand of string it's impressive. Since there wasn't much to see locally I did what you suggested, but the only model I could get at the time was one with the removable lower shaft which only later did I find mention of the vibration. Would have gotten the solid shaft version if it were still available at the time.

With the 8 amp/hour batter on slow speed I get about 40 mins of run time. The smaller 5 amp/hr battery needs to run on high and I got maybe 15 mins.

For heavier stuff I have loping sheers (vastly lighter) and carry an old carbon knife on my mower as needed.
This came up on my YouTube feed. This guy has a large yard.

I no longer have to pick up a 5 gallon gas can to fill the riding mower. I just pull up to the shed where the gas can is and pump the gas right into my mower tank.

I just filled up my 5 gallon can with non-ethanol gasoline for my small engines today. Hefting that puppy, my back told me, "Hold on there, pardner!" in his best Yosemite Sam voice.

I tend to listen when he goes in that dye-rection. Great horny toads, Batman! Uh...sorry. I'm mixing my YS metaphors...
