I find it interesting that cordless tools cost more than the corded versions. With hand tools, there is an electric motor, either 120v or 18v. With lawnmowers, the internal combustion engine is replaced with an electric motor. I wonder if they're charging for the convenience, or if there is a legitimate reason for the price difference.
Greenway plug-in mower - $119; battery version - $279
DeWalt 7 1/2" circular saw plug-in - $116 with tool bag; battery version $168
I have a battery powered lawn mower I've had for five years. It cost more than a gas powered mower, but at today's gas prices, I've saved a lot on gas and oil, and keep it in the garage without the need to store flammable fuel in my attached garage. I'll never buy anything else from now on.
