For a homeowner, get the quik lok kit with an edger, trimmer, pole saw, blower setup all in 1 using only a single battery.
For a commercial guy, they'd use gas as charging isn't convenient and is significantly less expensive and weigh less.
It's like trying to sell a Hellcat to someone who needs a Prius.
That being said, I demo'd these for a month with a lawn crew, they overheat when used in a commercial setting and the vibration is intolerable when used for more than a couple hours but they are absolutely powerful enough. If they could get the weight down, figure out the vibration transfer up the users arm, and get some kind of cooling within the tool by the batteries, this would be fantastic.
They are targeting people that like to spend money
It's just grass and some wild bushes.
Do you think this will do the job? Or still need a mower to go with this monster?

I could probably do my weedwacking for the year on a single 5ah battery. Hell, i have the hedger attachment and do a 20 foot stretch of 10 foot tall hedges with it on a single charge, and that thing has like 1" thick branches on it.
That said the single battery one is an absolutely awesome tool.
They sell a brushog head for this, which i suspect is its intended application, and that will chew threw stuff an inch thick no problem.
I'm not a commercial guy using it all day, but i really don't find the weight difference any different than my stihl gas one with a full tank. If anything i find it a bit more balanced, and in some cases wouldn't mind a little extra weight on the head. It cost me, with battery around the same as I paid for the Stihl i bought a half dozen years ago, and other than changing out the string, and then ultimately getting fed up with milwaukees setup, putting in my own, has required absolutely 0 maintenance.
