I've never bought or even used a leaf blower. I'm considering one now to help clean up yard waste and also use a gutter cleaning attachment and clean my neglected gutters.

I find myself in the 80V Greenworks ecosystem after the purchase of a Masterforce multi-head tool system on sale.

How big of a leaf blower do I need if I want to do my gutters?

When cleaning up lawn debris or leaves, how often do you need the highest setting versus the lower setting?

And is anyone here using their leaf blower in combination with a gutter cleaning attachment that you would recommend?

So I have a couple of questions before I invest in a whole set of tools.

As today is June 30, do you think I can expect anywhere to have any July 4 deals in the next day or over the weekend? Or have any deals to be had already started?

I'm looking primarily at getting a multi-head tool with trimmer, edger, and pole saw attachments to start. Is there really a clear benefit to having a carbon fiber shaft on the attachments? I've read some reports of carbon fiber suffering from stress cracks.

Is the LineIQ worth it for the trimmer? It looks like for the multi-head trimmer attachment, this feature is only available on the 17".

The only cordless tools I own right now are a Makita impact driver and drill. Looking at their outdoor tool offerings seemed like a mixed bag and I don't think I will mind having a second battery platform for outdoor tools.

If you couldn't have Ego outdoor power tools, what other platform would you consider?

My 2007 F-150 needed a new battery (I think) so I went to AutoZone and took the old one (plus a lawn mower or motorcycle batter) in with me. When I got the new battery, I was still charged a core charge fee. Cashier said it was because it was not the exact model of battery. That seemed bogus. Is that everywhere, just AutoZone, or just my local AutoZone?

Follow up (more important): Truck still didn't start. Put the multi-meter on the new battery and it read 12.3V. I'm trickle chargin it now. Is it possible that batttery had just been sitting too long? I just got this back from the shop where they told me the starter was fine, but the power cable to it was loose.
