"Home Depot said in a recent press release that it plans to make its gas-powered tools relatively obsolete in the next several years, instead replacing them with battery and electric powered upgrades.

Most of its gas tools are outdoor equipment; think weedwackers, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and trimmers. It aims to replace these with battery power by the end of 2028. At that point, Home Depot wants to see 85% of its outdoor lawn equipment sales to be driven by rechargeable battery power in the U.S. and Canada."

If this is for rentals, I gotta say that’s a big win then for the environment.
