        Counties near me already banned two-stroke engines. Gas leaf blower ban is on the books for a month or so from now.

            They exist, as do electric. I haven’t heard anything good about them. …

              Try some of the higher-end electric chainsaws. They’re incredible. Some loggers even use bigger commercial variants.
