Have a Milwaukee string trimmer.  Came with a 9AH battery.  Plenty for our .6 acre.  Have a 2.75 acre with fence.  Had to buy a 12 AH battery and between the 2, my wife can about get it done.  Plenty of power.

Blowers, I have 2.  One is an 80 volt Works and it blows well.  Battery life is good for 3 times or 4 of blowing off the driveway which my wife covers with grass :D

Other is an 18 volt Ryobi that is adequate.

4ah battery may be a little light for a trimmer but fine for blower I would think

P.S. I forgot to comment about power. The string trimmer handles .080" or .095" string easily and they both seem to be the equal of just about any gas powered device I've ever owned. The exceptions would be the 4 cycle string trimmer and the backpack blower. I have owned the entire evolution of these appliances starting with the corded versions that weren't very powerful at all.

Those pork chops look good.

 Growing up, we always had rice with everything. Too many summers spent with my cajun grandma :-* porkchops rice and gravy is still one of my favorites. I married a German girl and potatoes soon became a staple around here.  I've been known to have rice and potatoes with my porkchops now :lol_hitting:

I have had an 18V leaf blower and a 40V string trimmer, both Ryobi, for about 5 years. I bought them when we were still living on our 1/3 acre property in GA not knowing what property we might have when we moved to SC. I was pleasantly surprised that both devices handle my 3/4 acre easily. After 5 years, the 18V 4ah battery for the blower occasionally starts to lose steam just as I'm finishing up. As far as run time, I have never actually checked it but I usually spend about an hour trimming and blowing.
